- Poem, "For Amelia Earhart" by Nathalia Crane, 1937 - Amelia Earhart's enduring fame is due in part to the mysterious nature of her disappearance.

- "My Prayer--Barney Oldfield," a Poem by E. B. Carson, circa 1935 - This poem is a fitting description of "Barney" Oldfield. The auto racing legend "took his chances" winning his first race -- in the Ford-designed "999" -- without having raced before. Though Oldfield "fell" in crashes and lost races, he "fought again" competing and breaking several land speed records. And Oldfield's showman spirit would remain "undiminished" well after he had left the sport.
