In the summer of 1940, the Central Washington College of Education was designated by the federal government as a center for civilian pilot training. The college was to give the ground school course and the Ellensburg Flying Service the flight training. Dr. Wilfred Newschwander of the Science Department was designated as instructor. He passed the instructor ' s tests with a high score. Later he learned to fly in order better to help the young men training for service. The Registrar ' s Office acted as coordinator until the summer of 1942 when Dr. New¬ schwander became coordinator as well as instructor. Ten groups, totaling in enrollment two hundred and fifty students, completed the elementary program and four groups, totaling fifty stu¬ dents, completed the ground school courses. Not only did the students who took the ground school instruction under Dr. Newschwander make excellent records in most instances, but the young men who took ad¬ vanced training elsewhere found that they could compete successfully with those who had taken their work at the big universities. While the flight training under the Civilian Pilot Authority has ceased, Dr. Newschwander is now teaching In the army cadet program Much of the fine success which the young men have made should be attributed to the excellent Instruction which they received from their ground school Instructor. Dr. Newschwander. 25
