Some may fly for amusement, but not Miindelein's first flyer. Catherine Wil kins '39 drops in over telephone wires and side-slips her plane onto tiny land ing fields for her own amazement- and for the service of Uncle Sam. After completing her sociology major at Mundelein, Miss Wilkins won a schol arship to the graduate school of sociology at Loyola, and began part-time work for the Chicago Relief administration. Early last June, heeding the President's call for volunteer student flyers, she en rolled with two other girls in a class of 00 Loyola men in the government's training program for university student pilots. On Sept 15, Miss Wilkins received her pilot's license, after eight and one-half hours solo and a series of courses in cluding navigation, meteorology, aircraft engines and instruments, and civic air regulations. To date she has soloed 48 hours in the standard Piper Cub training planes. Miss Wilkins likes to tell just how she lands at the minute Aurora landing field, and about the rainstorm she en countered on the way to Lockport via Aurora and Juliet. A recent flight thrill was her parti cipation in the Labor Day glider show- in honor of Bishop Sheil at the Lewis Aeronautical field. She was one of a 9-power plane formation that flew in from Lockport, to come over the grand stands and land in nice harmony on the field. Ground and air flight training, both of which arc given by the Civil Aero nautics instructors, constitute her present plan of study in addition to her work in sociology. Miss Wilkins is the sister of Junior Ann Wilkins. Not FDR, Not Willkie, It's Heigh-O Silver Senior Muriel Moll is convinced that anything can happen in the Nov. 5 elec tion. While families split over the major candidates, the younger genera tion has solved the problem by intro ducing a light horse into the campaign. Coming to school on Tuesday morn ing, Miss Moll overheard two under-ten- ners talking politics. I'm for Roosevelt. said the biggest. a Democrat. I'm for Willkie, said the next-lo- the-biggest, an adherent of the Grand Old Party. And that should have ended the discussion. But they hadn't counted on the smallest boy, who was seemingly ob livious to everything but the pebble which he was vigorously kicking down Devon avenue. I'm for the Lone Ranger, he shout ed, Heigh-O Silver
