The plane was flying so low th I, I could have reached up and touche‘ ‘ it with my paddle. For a moment I thought I was going to be hit. Elvidently the pilot saw me and veered suddenly out into the lake to avoid the bluff. he shore. I saw lino wing strike to ’as”‘the plane turned; The next minute the plane plunge'rl into the water. Its tail float: ell up slowly.” The} force of the impact had tom the plane in two. The wings, the mo- tor, and part of the fuselage were at the bottom of the lake. The body of Koglelwas recovered soon after the accidebt occurred, but that of Heller could lnot be found until some time later. ‘ Received M.E. in '28 Don1Heller was graduated from Ar~ mour in 1924 with the degree of 13.8. in mochanical engineering.

The advance party, consisting of Erickson, Casey, Jenn- sen and Rousing, preceded the main group and had the camp in prepara- tion for the arrival of the others. The six weeks were spent in learn- ing the use of the tape, transit, level, theodolite, and the other instruments used in the various types of survey» log. With this general information, the more specific types of work were undertaken. 'l‘opographical work was done, both with the plane table and the stadia method, the men mapping portions oi? the country about the camp. Solar observations were made by means: of the special apparatus for that work, and the true meridian established. The most comprehensive piece of work undertaken was the layout of an imaginary .,rallroail line. The .i'i'ouh- men made a reconnaissance survey with hand levels, and then set out a preliminary line, establishing this more. accurately. The final line, with the curves definitely figured by the men is then run in, closing the sea~ son. . Recreation was furnished in the forms ol.‘ swimming, fishing, and horse- shoe pitching, with the Saturday night dance at Trout Lake winding up earl) week. Fishing was rated only as fair this year, although the faculty seemed to have more luck, according to their tales as related on their an- nual visit to the. camp. On the 4th of July, some of the men went into Boulder, Wisc., and saw a baseball game. According to the reports of the men . who attended camp this year, the food was excellent, the work interesting, and the six weeks most enjoyable.

Inasmuch as the Insti- tute can accommodate but a. small portion of the applicants, onlytwo hundred and seventy-five were accept- ed, eighteen of them being students with advanced standing. Selection was made upon the pre- vious record of the applicant, his per- sonality as revealed in the interview with the Office of the Deans, and his activities in high school. About ‘flwo hundred and fifty of the applicants were rejected after complying with the usual enrollment i'egulations,~and a hundred and seventy at the timeot an interview or telephone conversa— tlon. The men chosen. as in mostyesrs, come from widely scattered parts of’ the country, and comprise the most promising group of applicants. .No foreign students were taken, as Ups. citizenship is a requirement for ma- triculation.
