WILLARD H. SCHADEL DEDICATION . . . We dedicate this i958 volume of MEMOIRS to Willard H. Schadel for the outstanding accomplishment of develop- ing better student-teacher relationship in the classroom. Mr. Schadel served three years during World War ll as a pilot of a four-engine aircraft. He flew thirty-four successful missions over Germany and acted as an auxiliary instructor overseas. As a captain, Mr. Schadel received the Distin- guished Flying Cross, and the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters. He has recently been appointed to the Education Staff of the 2604th Air Force Reserve Corps, Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, where he holds the rank of major. Mr. Schadel and his family spent the summer of 1957 in Washington, D. C., where he attended George Washington University on a scholarship available to science teachers. The rest of the summer was passed in Denver, Colorado, learning aerial photography. Through his eleven years in Pen Argyl High School Mr. Schadel's scientific knowledge has been invaluable in teach- ing science, chemistry, physical science, and physics. During activity periods he devotes much time to stimulating interest and developing scientific thinking among members of the Photo and Science Clubs. Mr. Schadel prepares a demonstration on the effects of light for his next class.
