THE COT J .F,GIAN Two Ex-GI Students Deliver Piper Cubs, Study Spanish at 75 Miles Per Hour Would you believe your eyes if you saw a college, student studying Spanish as he flies along in a Piper Cub at 75 miles per hour, 2000 feet above •the Pennsylvania hills? Could you believe your ears if you heard "vivi, viviste, vivio, vivimos, vivisteis, vivieron" enging the 65 horsepower roar of an airplane motor over the Allegheny Mountains? Probably . you couldn't, but it really happens around here. The student who does just this thing is Raymond C. Lee, Jr., a pre-law student at the College, and an ex-captain in the U. S. Air Force Training Qommand. He and Martrant H. Dilks, also an ex-captain, but in the Troop Carrier Command, deliver planes for the Piper. Aircraft Company, Lock Haven, to points as far as 350 miles fro mthe College. Studies Spanish "Studying Spanish while flying an airplane is a hit unusual," (Ray admitted, "but while I'm saying and memorizing my verbs in competition to the roar of the motor, I'm not bothering any one." The motive for this strange part-time job delivering air planes is three-fold. First, the air hours acquired by these plane deliveries keeps the boys' com mercial pilot's license 'active. Secondly, both boys still have flying in their blood and don't 'feel right unless they get up into the air occasionally. Finally, the job allows them to do this "ne cessary" flying without incurring the almost prohibitive expense that Would ordinarily go with plea sure-flyin During . this ! ' semester, Ray and Bart have delivered planes to Hudson, Ohio, 'a small town just south of Cleveland, Williams burg, Va., and 'Wilmington, Del. In order not to miss any classes, they leave the College at noon. usually on Thursday, drive to Lock Haven; fly the planes to their destination, then, take a bus or train back to the College that night. Love of Flying "Piper pays us by mileage for the trip, and starts us off with a full tank of gas," Bay told us. "However, by the time we buy extra gaS,. pay for our meals and bus fare, hotel room, if we stay overnight, and plane 'storage, if 'we do not reach our destination by dark, we just about break ev en. What we're after, though, is flying." • • The reason•ithat Ray and Bart , cannot delivery planes after dark is that, 'coming 'from the Ilattory, the ships...haye only controls, , a comipass, and , an ,air speed indi ,cator—no instruments; lights, 'or radio, which are needed Dar night The Lion 4Shalne was erected in 1907.

"We are constantly (being of:. fered the job of flying Cubs t 9 places such as Florida and Tex as," Ray said. "We can't accept these since 'we would miss classes getting back from such a distance. But I would like to deliver one to. Lincoln, Neb., this summer when I have more time." Ray explained that he has several close friends living there. Ray and Bart are neighbors at the Windcrest trailer camp. They live with their •families at 221 and 219 Reiter Drive. Ray, a short, stocky boy with close cropped blond hair, attended the College in 1940, udying civil engineering, but switched to pre law upon his return after four years service. Bart is a freshman in ceramics. Back to Faith The Lee household consists of four members: Ray, his vivacious and pretty wife Kay, who is a graduate of the University ' of , Pennsylviania, Katherine Mary, their cute little 21-month-old idaughter, and. Butch, a pedigreed Irish setter that is familiar on the 'campus. Active in Winderest commu nity affairs, Ray serves as a bor ough councilman, and as a depu ty policeman. Kay doesn't share her husband's enthusiasm for flying, worries over the fact that he doesn't wear a parachute while on his flying trips.
