A TRIP TO THE MOON Let's take a ride in the new Titan 5 to the moon and see what happens to real men that fly around in space. First of all they need 500 tons of chemicals to make it, You burn, and weld, mix, and bolt it together, and put it to the test. While the men are doing this other men are getting the astronauts ready for the flight, for an example, Armstrong and Scott, they had to be put into chairs that twirl and turn in every direction because the space ship might do the same thing, they had to be put in rooms and get use to being alone as in the rocket. Mean while back at the lab the rocket is just my fgetting the Iastrgeck, the engine. The engine works like 90 cars with horsepower. It has three stages, no. I. the main engine, no. 2 another engine, no. 3 the capsule. All right the men are getting into there suits and into the space ship. The count down, IO, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, I, igni- tion, lift off! b-o--o-m-its of. the men are in space. The station has power over it until it's in orbit. Tink, bank, astroides are bouncing off the space-craft. One thousand miles goes by fast in a rocket and we're soon there. Now let's take a walk, There are big craters and mountains all around, and caves. The reason why I went here was that I thought is would be fun for me to learn and to tell others. JAMES WILLIAMS A TRIP TO THE MOON If you were going to take a trip to the moon the Iogicul place to get on the rocket is Cape Cined. Then you have to pay a lot of money for the rocket and the rocket suit. The rocket suit has a hialment and a zip suit. Userlly the suits are gray. Then you step on the stair and get in the rocket and set down. Then you are about to take off. They light the fire and you can hear the peo- ple counting IO, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, I, blast off! Now you my be a little scared but it's to late to screem, HELP, HELP. So you finally get to the moon. Now you can see the earth turning very s-I-o-w. On the moon there are little dips on the sirece. On the moon you can float, not on water, but on air. After about three day's you get pretty tired of it so you start back to Cape-Canedy. About two more day you get back at Cap-Cainedy, It would be very good to be on land again. -Deborah Smith MY KITTY My kitty is pretty, Fat and plump, He climbs a tree Comes down with a bump. He drinks from a saucer, And eats from a dish. He climbs in the fish bowl Looking for fish. 3. K WM' Essiylg S-...A ss, Figwunegi. liemnv STUDENTS NOT PICTURED Ras Sheryl HONOR.

Africa I have iust goten off a boat and now I am travling in a ieep. I an traveling in the Sahara Desert. I can see Cairo now. The people wear very colorful clothes here. We are traveling at a pretty fast rate because it is very hot in the desert. We see alot of animuls. Right now I see a man on a Camel. We hope we will not run out of gasoline .There are alot of sand dunes peeking up here and there. Now we are going across a bridge. Under the Bridge is the Nile River. In the distance we see a little hump. We come closer and closer. Now we know whut it is. Its Job'z Great Pyrumid. It is big- ger thun I thought. Now we see a fewer Ostriches. We go for many miles. Now we are going into the grasslands. The first animal we see is a giraffe. All of a sudden the driver stopped short. Why did you stop , I asked him. Then he pointed. I saw what it was. It was a lion chasing a rabbit, by Jeb Egbert HTFICGI ,. , , A' E JZ. Ji. .LL .Ia .QM Lg if, ri-,,- - - s-1-r - 4 il' L A NTI C A rs 1 . .,,. Q- fr easel..

It is the longest desert in the world. ln Africa they have different kinds of animals. You can see tall short people. They are called Egyp- tians. Job built a Great Pyramid. lt is the biggest Pyramid, It is a thing where kings get in it when they are not living. When you go on grassy land you can see ele- phants. Also when you see things in Africa, you can see Egyptians. Geva Dutton My Trip to Antarctica I went to Antarctica in summer. I saw these animals: penguins, blue whale, weddell seal, killer whale. They use a submarine and a airplane. There is a lot of pack- ed ice down there. Richard Byrd was the 6th one to go down there. Most of the ice burgs are 50 miles wide Capt. Robert F. Scott was the lst one to go down there. Most of the animal have to fly or swim. There are some ice bergs down there. Antarctica is a continent on the South Pole. They were building a Scientist Station. The End -Scott Smith Feb. 10, 1966 Exploring the Iceland Antarctica is like a world of ice. Ninety-five persent of the world's ice come's from Antarc- tica. Poeple live down there, Scien- tist's. They have a scientist station. Man doe's not know how much ice is down there, but it reache's farther than the United State's. There is animal life there too, seal's, penguim's, 81 whales, Capt. Scott was first to land on Antartica. Richard Byrd was the sixth one. And now Antartica is a world of ice lust on-to-of the sea.-Barbara Ellis Feb. 10, 1966 A trip with Admirle Byrd As we were preparing for a flight to thee antarcti I was think- ing this will be the sixth trip to the antarcarcti. When we landed it was mid- summer but still 25 below. When it was time to go as I recall the ice on the windshield 3 inches thick. We stayed there no longer than I hour. Since, we have learned that MY RABBIT by David Rothwell Second Grade I had a little rabbit Who had a bad habit He eats too much cabbage And eats like a savage He is rude at the table To make him quit I'm no So he remains rude But always in a good mood A Pet That Had to Die Once our family had a cat. One day mom and I went out into the garage and heard a squeaking noise. The noise was of kittens that the cat had had. The kittens were about 3 inches long a 1 inch wide. They were cute. When the kittens were pretty old, the cat was doing things craz. Dad said that she should not live, so we were scheduled to take her to the pound. We took her in a box, where she was cozy enough to be satisfied. The wind was blowing, and that was what she liked. When we got there, we looked at many animals, Finally it was time for her to die. We saw them put her in her cage and saw them put her to sleep. Dad said that that was all we needed to see, so we left. at home, we cried. John Flynn Jan. 27, 1965 t able nothing lives there except it can fly ore swim. Some ice borgs were 100 miles long. Also the largest animal on earth lives there- the blue whale, It is biger than all dinnasors it gets to be 100 feet long and 125 tons in weight. In the center of antarctica it gets to 145 below zero! It is the coldest place on earthe and ant- orctica is bigger than the united states! -Kenny Rothwell Feb. 10, 1966

December 17, 1965 was a momentous day in the United States. Triumphal successes were made in the U.S.,s bid for supremacy in the space race, Gemini VI and Gemini VII had just completed an unprecedented rendezvous in space. Space records of virtually every category were toppled. The U.S. had scored more than 1300 hours of manned space flights against Soviet Russia's 507. The two week flight of Gemini VII almost tripled the time of the five-day manned flight of Russia. The U.S. had more men in space at one time ffour compared to Russia's threej. The U.S. also had more total or- bits, 400 against 292. In the U.S., live telecasts were made from the carrier Wasp stationed in the Atlantic of the splash-down of Gemini VI. These telecasts were monitored coast-to-coast and were viewed on our classroom sets early that December morning. After viewing the delicate recovery of the space capsule, third grade students from Miss Flatt's class wrote brief news flashes of this impressive event. Here then is how these news events are interpre- tated by our young Imperial reporters, Gemini 6 landed safely in a raft called Wasp. The Astronaut had a fear well greting. The men were glad to be back. -Russel Hendee Carrier Wasp went up from Cape Ken- nedy. lt landed in the Atlantic Ocean. Ge- mini 6 is a spacecraft. A ship came and pict it up. -Grace Briggs One time 4 helicopters tried to catch a Carrier Wasp. There once was a 3 ton ship. lt was a real big ship. There were three swimmers in the Carrier Wasp. But they got out. -Geva Dutton l saw some people on a big boat with the Carrier Wasp on it. Giraird and Staf- ford were in the Carrier Wasp. A heli- copter was in the sky. Then the Carrier Wasp landed on the boat. lt was open. Then the men came out and shook hands. -Kathie S. They went l85 orbits of the atmosphere in space and Stafford came out of the spacecrotf and everyone said, Hurrah! -Gary Ten Broek Gemini 6 was blasted off. Then they blasted off Gemini 7. While those two spaceships were up there they met each other. They were going about five miles for seckents. -Gary Means Two space men, Giraud and Stafford rist there lives today. They landed in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship that picked up the two space men were on the Carrier Wasp line. -Ricky Harmon At first all you could, see was a little of it on the Atlantic Ocean. There were four helicoptors and a great big 45 ton aircraft carrier called the Carrier Wasp. The names of the two astronauts were Capt. Giraud and Mr. Stafford. They started at Cape Kennedy and went past our atmosphere and it took about a clay. The giant carrier had 4 stories. -Kenny Rothwell
