I still remember the first one. I was 16 by how organic the sound of the piano was, as I had become familiar with the 17 electronic sound. The teacher was trying to explain where middle C was, but I could 18 play all the major and minor scales.
I 19 my grade one after eight lessons and got distinction. By the time I started secondary school, we couldn't 20 lessons again, so I returned to my paper keyboard. I passed grade three, then grade five, practising only on my piece of paper.

What are some of your favourite memories of the University?
In preparation for each falfs 50th reunion, members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.
Here's a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969. Phyllis Jo Baunach
\the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.
Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals fbr student-written-and- directed plays, and the thrill of audiences5 responses to our efforts.

My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other irfemories include the Susan B.

Early February, I was flying up to Ohio. Well prepared, I had everything in my favour一fuel for five hours, charts in order, my flight plan on my lap, and a beautiful clear sky.
I was wrong.
I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada. I knew all about them―how an entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour.
That morning, the Weather Briefer informed me that an Alberta Clipper was going over Chicago about,the time I got to the airport. Chicago was some 400 miles from my destination—not a factor, or so I thought. That was the first hint I missed.
The controller called and asked if I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I did the check and everything was in the green. So I told him no. Twenty minutes later the controller called again asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I checked everything. All was fine. I ignored that hint. I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently. The Alberta Clipper was clipping along.
The first blast of turbulence （气流）struck my plane. I got slammed into the roof, and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.
After a 2-hour flight of 100 miles, I realized fuel was now an issue. So was landing. I called Flight Following. We figured out the airport I could land.
The engine stopped. So did my heart. There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude. I had run out of fuel in the left tank, and only a little in my right tank. The engine quit fbr a second time. I declared an emergency. I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I gently banked the airplane. Luckily, it worked. Then, the engine quit for the last time. I was a glider now. I made a long lazy spiral descent. Down I went. I stopped at the very end of the runway.
I made so many mistakes, missed so many clues, and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up over and over again in my mind. I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real-life experience with one are totally different. I will never forget the sound of that silence.
I flew home the next day. Older. Wiser. Humbler. Lucky.
