Der 81. 1918 Last week he made

Uncle Sans filters and his mother
Mrs. Naomi Hill, is awaiting her
call to the Woman's Auxiliary

Young Nicholson remained with
his grandmother in New Mexico
to finish his schooling, several
years after his mother came to
Coolidge To make her home. He
spent his summer vacations with
her and at the completion of his
schooling in 1888. joined her to
make Coolidge his permanent
home.
He worked for the Southern

army life held a greater attraction
for him, and he enlisted in the
air corps. October. 1910, while
visiting friends in Long Beach
He received his primary train
ing at Ryan Field. California

and they are still washing! II
isn't going to be a cinch for me
to make it, but if | don't it won
be because | didn't try my darnd
est. | love this flving. I've
never done anything | like so
well"
And then came the day last
week. when he made his solo
flight, of which he writes. Man

king sitting up there by myself.
NY first landing, | almost
took the fence with me, but the
next three were pretty good
When he got in. his instructor
walked over. patted him on the
shoulder and said, Well, that's
all | ask for-just land 'em so
you can walk away from them. .
So Cadet Nicholson is wearing
his wings on his cap now. but
some of the others were not so
fortunate that day, Five guys
washed out and one OF them cried
ike a baby. let my room

when they soloed today.
Another guy is getting his elm
nation ride tomorrow and I'm
going to let him take it. He
really will need it,"
When Uncle Sans eagles learn
