I WINGS FOR SHAWN Shawn Majoros of Broadview Avenue, Whitby, was pre- sented with his gold wings at a reception at the Polish Veterans Hall on Saturday evening. A grade 13 student at Anderson Collegiate, Shawn was the youngest member of the group to receive the honour. He has been taking flying lessons for the past year or so and the gold wings must be earned before obtaining .his Private Pilot's Licence. This is a remarkable accomplishment for a high school student, who hot only maintains his grades, but also works part-time at the Dominion Stores. Shawn plans to carry on with his flying lessons and hopefully to earn his Instrument rating and eventually his Commercial Pilot's licence. Congratulations Shawn and 'best of luck with your future career. Maybe on :our next Caribbéan vacation we will hear 'This is Captain Majoros welcoming you aboard flight 967 to your island in the sun.' Keep 'em flying Shawn.
