breaking some old -tradit hall, pastimes enjoyed in leisure hours, ideas discussed in the classroom often follow a design which has been originated by a leader. In aerospace, a new trip brings changes in the flight plans, changes in ideas, and changes in patterns. Likewise, each year students adopt new trends and new vogues, but always they will tend to conform to the crowd whether it be shoes and gaily-colored hose for girls, or a flower decal adorning the jalopy. Tradition builds memories, but it is change that marks the path for future tradition. A mis- sile flying onward into the sky leaves a contrail behind for all to see.

Training a pilot, instructing a nav- igator, educating a ground crew. Such an undertaking requires a compre- hensive program of knowledge and skill, curiosity and desire. To man his craft, a crew member must understand each facet of the flight-each air current, each map, each instrument on his panel, each law of physics which will affect his course. ln a sense, each high school student is learning to become a pilot. He must learn all those forces which will help or hinder him as he leaves the runway and takes off to follow his own flight plan. A school pro- gram must, then, be comprehensive lt must be well-rounded. lt must lead the student down many trails, from the wide concrete superway to the little-explored byway of knowledge. And finally, it must challenge him to open new trails for the students who will follow after.
