AIRPLANE MEN GATHER TOMORROW, FIRST TIME

Lieutenant Kendall of Maine Airway to Speak in Lowell House, as Flying Club Launches 1937 Season

With the advance of Spring the Flying Club makes preparations for an extensive season of competitive piloting. Tomorrow night Lieutenant F. P. Kendall, Pilot of the Boston and Maine Airways will address the members on instrument flying in Lowell House Common Room at 7:30 o'clock.

President Wilbur L. Cummings, Jr. '37 says that membership in his organization, the oldest of its kind in America, now totals 35 men, of whom 20 are licensed pilots.

Spring flying, managers have announced, will feature attendance at the National Intercollegiate Flying Club meeting in Washington, Tuesday, March 30, and Wednesday, March 31. During the summer a team will travel abroad to meet Oxford and Cambridge.

As flown by the club contests consist of precision tests in flying and landing, bomb dropping and aerobatics, rather than speed. Framingham is the nearest test ground.

Besides Cummings, officers are Arthur W. Nelson '38, vice-president, James K. Davis, secretary, and Clarence D. Martin, Jr. '39, treasurer. All four officers were members of last year's New England champions.

The club could only send a quartet to the National Meet, yet succeeded in defeating 17 of the 20 competing teams.
