Alaska Could Follow Wyoming Example
And Offer Aviation To Sixth Graders
Some 800 sixth graders in Wy
oming are studying aviation.
They learn how the airplane was
invented and general aviation his
tory. then go on to fundamentals of
flight, air traffic control, career
possibilities of aviation and how to
prepare for them, principles of iet
propulsion, power plants, naviga
tion and space flight.
One teacher said, "They will
seek out additional material, some
of it very technical, and give high
ly competent reports. And I have
good reason to believe some stu
dents, both boys and girls, delight
in stumping the teacher.”
One requirement of the pro
gram, sponsored for 10 years now
by the Wyoming Department of
Education and the Wyoming Aero
nautics Commission, is that the
teacher must first attend an Air/
Space Education Workshop held
each summer at the University of
Wyoming.
Marvin W. Stevenson, director of
the Aeronautics Commission, says
most of the teachers are women
and have little mechanical or tech
Saturday Youth
Dance A Success
The Kodiak Youth Organization
held its first public dance last Sat
urday night at the Elks Club. Both
the youth attending and the chap
erones judged it a tremendous suc
cess with a capacity crowd of ap
proximately 250. The music was
by Bill Lee. Merlin Christofferson,
and Bud Thompson who kept
everyone dancing all evening long.
The young people had such a
good time that it is hoped dances
can be held each month as there
is such a need for this type of
recreation. The purpose of the
dance was to raise money for thel
KYO building fund.
nical background.
TEACHERS INTEREST
“But don’t let that little problem
worry you,” he says. ‘‘These gals
are interested and serious. They
may not qualify as certified
ground school instructors, but they
do go back to their classrooms with
a great deal of general aviation
and space knowledge and com
pletely sold on the program.”
Textbooks, pictures, movies,
pamphlets and charts are secured
free or paid for by the Aeronautics
Commission. Experts in the field,
both civilian and military, make
themselves available for supple
mental classroom talks.
And, probably best of all from
the standpoint of the sixth graders,
is a tour of aviation installations in
their areas at the end of the year,
topped off with a ‘‘graduation ex
ercise”—a 15-minute flight over
their home towns.
There are some people who
arouse our suspicions every time
they try to be friendly.
