BROWNIES HAVE BUSY WEEK
We meet at St. Joseph's Hall
on Monday and Wednesday, be
cause it was raining. We played
■games, sang, whittled, had our
lunch, and made paper weights
and carboned the Brownie’s em
blem.
On Tuesday we went to Satel
lite Field with our bunny burn
ers, and cooked our hamburgers
and potatoes. Thursday we went
to Camp Dexter. We picked
flowers, moss, leaves and branch
es, and later we glued them into
a nature scene on blue paper.
We do appreciate the work and
help of so many ladies for such
a good Brownie day camp.

| Aviation and Space
To Be on Agenda
For Nome Students
The Aerospace Workshop con
ducted for teachers and others
interested at Elmendorf Air Force
Base was concluded on July 21.
A total of 80 persons attended
under the joint sponsorship of
the Civil Air Patrol, the Air Force,
and the University of Alaska. Pete
Hahn of Nome attended, and he
will be teaching the course at
Nome High School this year.
According to Hahn, the work
shop consisted basically of lec
tures. by experts in each par
ticular phase of the Aerospace
field, field trips to nearby facili
ties, and discussions on the par
ticular subject at hand. High
lighting the lectures was Dr.
Werhner Von Braun, rocket and
space scientist.
Other speakers were: Dr. Rol
land H. Spaulding, a pioneer in
aviation education and also Work
shop director; Dr. John Furbay,
who is director of education for
Trans World Airlines; Dr. Geo.
Gardner, who holds a similar po
sition with Pan American Air
ways, and private aviation’s only
true representative, as a speaker,
Mr. Max Conrad, world known
flyer who holds many world’s en
durance records for small air
craft, and who is an employe of
the Piper Aircraft Co.
The primary purpose of the
workshop was to help provide
teachers with better facilities to
teach aviation and space in their
respective grades, and classes.
This was done through the pre
sentation of considerable techni
cal data, provocation of thought,
and lengthy discussions held in
small groups.
Nome High School will be pio
neering in presenting of such a
course as a regular part of the
curriculum. Only two schools are
doing this in the state, Nome and
Eielson—Nome being the only in
dependent district doing so. The
individuals showing the fore
sight by incorporating this course
are: Con Potter, supt., Dick Mc
Cormick, principal, and the Nome
School Board. The course means
freshmen may satisfy their gen
eral science requirement by tak
ing this course, and this has been
approved by the State Board of
Education.
The progress in the field, par
ticularly in the space-rocket
phase, is so rapid that even the
periodicals are having trouble
keeping up. Textbooks are obso
lete as soon as they reach the
press, even before being released.
Both Russia and the United States
are spending billions of dollars
on space projects. Even in avia
tion, with the solving of the
sound barrier, progress is so
rapid that it is exceedingly dif
ficult to keep track of new de
velopments.
Presentation of this course will
help the students and teachers
keep up with the rapid expansion
of knowledge in aviation and
space, as well as teaching the
fundamentals of flight, weather,
navigation, etc.
