! “WILLIWAW TECH”
NEW G.I. SCHOOL,
OPENS AT SHEMYA
Headouarters, Alaskan Depart
ment—“Williwaw Tech”, the new'
Army education school conducted
during regular duty hours at
Shemya. Alaska, already counts
an enrollment of over 1,000 GIs,
Most of them have returned to
the school book to sharpen their
knowledge while awaiting trans
portation for the final trip home
—and the school isn’t letting them
down. Far from it.
Offered in the curriculum of
Williwaw are subjects ranging
from Business Law to Slide Rules
and Logarithms, with the courses
set up in blocs of 20 hours. These
bloc units enable those men who
are sent home in mid-course to
have accomplished a definite unit
of study. All study courses are of
fered for one hour each day on a
five-day week basis, and special
night courses are available to
those who cannot attend regular
day classes. Sixteen subjects are
offered for two hours in the eve
ning, four evenings a week. The
night courses have a current at
tendance of 340 men.
While in class, rank and its
privileges are ignored. In one
class may be seen a lieutenant
colonel (in charge of all quarter
master operations on the island)
flanked by a Pfc. and a navy sea
man. Rank of instructors runs
from major down to Pfc. All take
chances on questions along with
everyone else, and no one has
been embarrassed yet.
Willi waw’s building brings un
der one roof 20 classrooms with
space enough for 500 persons to
attend classes at once. The build
ing is furnace heated, glass win
dowed and by comparison, is a
luxurious structure boasting neon
lights, built-in desks and black
board. Textbooks are furnished
by the United States Armed
Forces Institute, Alaska branch,
and are reprints of the latset civil
ian texts.
Women are scarce in the Aleu
tians, but Williwaw has two. Miss
Wilma Warther, of the American
Red Cross, from Sitka, Alaska, is
a student and also serves as teach
er of shorthand. Miss Betty Bates,
American Red Cross worker from
Detroit, Mich., is instructress in
the Art Appreciation class.
“Most men coming to school out
here really want to learn. They
are serious about their studying,
and the civilian educational insti
tutions that get them will notice
this determination to get a thor
ough education,” says Cpl. Stan
ton and Lt. Barnes. As an example
they point to five colored soldiers
who show up at odd hours all
week to practice typing on their
own time.
“They know it is going to be
tough out there in civilian life,
and they don’t want to be on any
body’s breadline,” the Williwaw
Tech mentors conclude.
