The men in and around the rocket are tense. They have put a lot of work into this rocket, and they want their attempt to conquer space to be successful!

HOME AND HOSPITAL DIVISION Also members of the Widney faculty are those teachers who really function out in space. These six instructors zoom around the city taking education to hospital and home-bound space cadets. Three of the teachers have formerly served here at the school and are known to Widneyites who had classes with them. They are Mrs. Ethyl Stuart, who now orbits on the east side of Los Angeles, Mrs. Gay Ernsberger, space-hopping in the north east section of the city, and Mrs. Miriam Melhorm, making her blast-offs in the Valley. Three other teachers also log time for the Space Academy, with Miss Lillian Duffy teaching on the west side, Miss Hilda Haddox in the harbor area, and Mrs. Louise Pitman in the hospital area.
