Parent-student conferences accompanied the announcement in early September of 1956. The two groups active then were the Mitzis and Tridettes, both girl's clubs. If they continued to function, their activity was mainly undercover since then.

Mrs. Tompkins repeated Wednes- 13 THE HOTTEST by school officials following conferences earlier this week with the girls and their parents. Mrs. Tompkins said only four or five girls were involved. School officials know of no other club activity at the present time, she The Board of Education voted a ban of secret student organizations in 1954 after repeated conflict with such groups as the Mitzis Tri-dettes, Jolly Fellows and Hot Shots.

Flying over the German lines from France in World War I convinced him that air power was a mighty weapon of the future. It was in trying to tell that story outside of official channels that led to his court-martial.

It was after the first World War that Mitchell, a temporary brigadier general, came back to carry on his campaign for air power in military channels, in Congress, and in public. Mitchell's criticisms finally cost him his temporary star and assignment as assistant chief of the Army air service. He was sent to a post in Texas. After the disaster to the airship Shenandoah, Mitchell fought even harder for his air policies. President Coolidge ordered him court-martialed and backed the sentence, suspension from rank and duty for five years.

The next year he resigned to continue his campaign. He died in 1936. There have been 10.030 acknowl Wright lifted their plane at Kitty I Hawk, N. C. The Mitchell case is still un-! settled.
