and Harris, we'll have a satellite orbiting the galaxy! EARTHBOUND MACHINES for the moment . . . Col. McCue gives Mike Wiese and Jess Van Evera instruction on pulleys, levers, and machines for the moment, but later will come atomic energy and, possibly, outer space study in physics. 27

With future scientists like Coulon, Battenhouse, Wiese, o Loud bangs meant that Cape Ca- naveral wasn’t the only place hav- ing difficulty in launching moon rockets . . . Harris couldn't be left alone—daily he tried to head for outer space with his rockets, and daily, the grounds resounded with loud ‘’booms’’, New textbooks in chemistry proved to the cadets that they must know every type of problem before going on to college. With biology, geology, chemistry, and physics, and Major Savedge, Col. McCue, Capt. Hanson, Capt. Kivlighan and Col. Duff as teach- ers, AMA was keeping up its high standards in science. MAN, HE’S COLD ... and also collapsible. Nadon and Dove learn how to arrange man’s organs in biology class. Major Savedge, skeptical, watches the progress. VOLCANOES, GLACIERS, AND EARTHQUAKES... Col. Duff explains to Lowe and Doxey the theory of volcanism. Upper left is a diagram of a dip and a strike. Geology is divided into three parts—dynamic, minerological, and historical.

Science IS stressed at Augusta! TRACE that drop of blood Capt. Kivlighan helps Wolfson trace a drop of blood through the body. A graduate of Georgetown with a B.S., and the University of Virginia with an LL.B., Capt. Kiv- lighan also teaches geology and English. GALAXY GLOBE... . Capt. Hanson points out con- stellations to Juby in geology class. AMA is one of the few schools in the country to have a real geology course, to use college textbooks. QUALITATIVE or quantitative, it’s still hard . . . Dick Clough and John Hixon prepare to weigh out known compounds for titrations. AMA’‘s chemistry course stresses problems and qual with geiger counters and atomic energy equipment.
