Vol. 1 November 9, 1940, Miami Florida __________ N o .  4Published weekly by the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation, Miami, Fla.The Greater Miami Airport Association entertained the Embry*Riddle Division heads at the Association’ s regular Wednesday luncheon meeting at the McAllister Hotel. Among the other guests were Wright Vermilya and a delegation of 21 business men-private pilots who flew down from West Palm Beach; Fred Ianter, Chief of the C .A .B . General Inspection Division and Robert Wemple, Private Flying Specialist for Florida.* ****Mr. J . G. McKay, prominent Miami attorney and Vice President of the Embry-Riddle Com­pany is in Washington and New York City on company business.* * * *We have received a letter from Bob Mills at Randolph Field in which Bob outlines hisday as beginning at 6 ack emma and winding up as a very tired little boyat 9 :30  "lights out". Three hours of each day are spent in the a ir ,  with the balance of the time at ground school and study classes. The  hardest part, - according to Bob - is the manuel of arms and learning  the Morse code. Bob suggests that any of our boys who are c ontem-plating Army or Navy air service should take a little preliminary  study on the Morse code. We were mightly glad to hear from Bob, andhope that our other graduates w ill write us from time to time.* * * *Newest addition to the Embry-Riddle flying family is Kim Scribner, as an advanced instructor. Kim is from Washington, D. C . , and is an expert parachute jumper. Get him to tell you about the time he and another feller both jumped with one c h u t e .* * *  *SOCIAL NOTE: Mr, and Mrs. F. Webster Wiggin attended the official dedication of the"Kitty Davis Airport" Thursday. Ask his star pupil Billy  Vine?* * * *The "Benzine Board" caught up with a few of our primary students this week but we might add here that these students shouldn’ t take this too much to heart. It usually menas, in most cases, that the student merely learns more slowly than the average pre- gress required by the government under the CPTP program. It  does not in any sense of the word mean that these students couldn't learn to fly  if they were given more time.* * * *For the improved appearance of last week' s FLY PAPER, we gladly give credit to Tommie Moore's f ir l  friend (and we don't even know her name) who works at Fleischer Studio and also to Betty Meyer, staff artist at the Ace Letter Service. "Twas these two gals who did all the fancy art work. Incidentally, we always welcome cartoons and contri- butions from our employees, students and friends. * * * *Things we would like to know about our studes in the primary class--Which Aberle is which--maybe one’ s shorter than the other--How Asin does his disappearing act during ground school class time--How (Romeo) Campbell is going to climb Alma Jane’ s balcony in an airplane--Why Gilmore has a tendency to nose dive--maybe it ’ s because he’ s the U. of Miami's diving champ--What dray (First to solo) Grady has with  the airplanes-- is the rumor true that Gregory., Fugutive from the science department, is looking for the "missing link" in  the air--is Hart really going to invent Airplane tennis--How  did James lose 10 lbs, in one week.--Why Marella can’ t lose any weight.--Contributed by Irene Cropp,* * * *Add little known facts about well known peoples Jimmie Cousins is an expert sign painter. His hobby is model building and his pet ambition is to learn to play a piano.* * * * Dedicated to our flight students is the following jingle composed by Al Shultz :You SAPP you OTT to know better than land like that. You want to REID over Bulleti 5 . --Really study it , don 't repeat LACK a PARROT but study MOORE every KNIGHT. There i. no use SCHWERIN about it --you must put your HART in your work or you may get HURT,If you aren’ t better tomorrow you can take it on the LAMM,While others were talking about getting married, Lee Malmsten went out and did thingsabout the situation. On Saturday, Nov. 2 , Lee married Ethel Lucille Terry of LakeCity. The wedding took place at Jacksonville where Miss Terry had been employed in the office of Commander Cotter of the U. S . Naval Air Station. The newlyweds are making their home at 1852 N.  W. 39th Street. Welcome into the family, Ethel. Come around and meet us sometime soon.* * * *The other day the boss asked Mark Trammel how many more of these "Test Hops" in the Waco would be necessary before Mark thought he'd be able to do a slow roll. With per- fect candor Mark admitted that he thought two more lessons would do it . Which reminds us, Mark flew up to Georgia Tuesday to spend a few days with his family.* * * *Captain "Jiggs" Huffman, formerly Operations M a n a g e r  for Embry-Riddle and now with PanAmerican Airways, was unanimously selected as leader by the "Quiet Birdmen" of Miami.Jiggs is always welcome at Embry-Riddle. Come in , fellah !* * * *Our annual employees and students party seems to be getting under  way nicely.

The committee to handle the various functions is asfollows: Invitations, Jean Ogden; Phonograph reoords, Fred Hawesand Elaine Devery ; Publicity, Bud Bel l and and Jack Stark;  Parkingand directions, Warren Keller, Lionel Raburn and Tommie Reid;Entertainment, games and program, Bob Halstead, Bud Holloway and Joe Neiser; Refreshments, Bob Johnston, Max Husted , Kan Bramlitt, Betty Galbraith and Bruzz Carpenter. J . P. Riddle,Chairman. Notice of  time of committee meeting w ill  be posted on Operations Office Bulletin Board.*  * * *Logan A , Shearer passed his Private Pilot 's  flight test this week.* * * *The Embry-Riddle 'Flying Jackass" made two flights this week. Warren Reid "won" it for disobeying his instructor and flying low over town and Dudley Whitman tried a 180 degree turn on the take-off at the sea-plane base.Recently added to the private student roster are Gordon Walters and his w ife , "Roxy” . Peter and Mary 3rooks flew in Thursday after completing their New York vacation. Plent glad to see t hem back, Hope they w ill spend the winter with us.* * * *Standley Too good flew  over from Nassau last Sunday to visit Ad Thompson. Stanley, by the way is well known for his colot photographs in National Geographic Magazine.* * * *The "slickest" story of the week could be written about Bob Johnson. During acrobatic maneuvers, the oil cap on the Waco came off and gave Bob a 4-quart oil bath.* * * *Instructor Jack Wants w ill  entertain the Embry-Riddle Pilots at his home Sunday night.* * * *FLASH! FLASH! Virginia Morrow arrives in Miami Friday night for Armistice Day vaca­tion.

He w ill  go to Santa Monica, California, where he w ill join the staff of the Douglas Aircraft cor poration as test pilot on the new army bombers.We hate to see you go, Earl, but wherever you are, keep in touch with us and may every landing be a happy one!* * * *There has been s ome talk of organizing an embry-Riddle bowling team to represent the Company in the Miami business league.
