On Dec. 2, 1955, alter almost 11 years at China Lake, I take my leave and de- part to another place. My only hope is that I wUl be as happy there as I have been here among you, my friends. I have seen many changes take place during the period from 1945 to the present. Most of these changes have been for the better. U my past articles have founded a basis be- tween better co-reIIgIoU8 understand- ing. then I have oucceeded In my work. . I don't believe I will find any place wbere the various religiOUS de- nominations enjoy more friend.sh1p. cooperation or understanding, than I have seen here. This is possible only because of and through educa- tion. The desire to acquire this edu- cation is the prerogative of the in- dividual and perhaps, becRuse the average person here is of higher character and intelligence than the nonnal elsewhere, it has been very gratifying. Burroughs Class Assists With Rocketeer Issue Members of the Burroughs High SChool journalism c I ass assisted this week with copy prepa.xatlon and proof-reading for the Rock- ..-. as a pa.l't of class study of journalism methods. In addition to preparing copy and discussing the stories as class 8B8ignments, members of the class, which publishes the weekly school paper, The Blockbuster, worked in Ute Rocketeer office and at the Hubbard Printing Plant to get further practical experience in neWspaper writing and editing. I remember when our congrega- tion consisted of only five families. I remember when few people here knew anything about Judaism and its principles. I remember the quest for knowledge of the various church- es and organizations who invited me to speak for them on Judaism. I re- member the cooperation of the Navy and Chaplains Brewer, Wolf, Zoller and our Chaplain Carter and other clergymen such as Fathers Pointek, Oallaher and Ryan, and Rev. Reid, who joined us in prayer and festival. Their spirit of oneness is truly in the best Inte~t of God and the Amer- ican way of life. I remember the calls I have had after each of my articles from friends who thanked me and encouraged me, the cards on the Jewish New Year and ChanUkah, from my Christian friends, many of whom I have never had the pleasure of meeting. I could go on and on if space per- mitted, but I think you will under- stand what is in my heart. We hope you will remember us as we will you. We will visit China Lake as often as we can. I pray that you will continue to grow and expand, not only in physi- cal size, but in mental stature and knowledge and have the fortitude to continue to progress. May God bless you all.

'Giant' Paper Published Daily Bv Local Pupils "Publication" Ot a giant-sized daily newspaper is one of the projects be- ing completed by the Burroughs High School journalism class. COnsisting of a l~rge bulletin board with a display fashioned to repre- sent a newspaper front page, the newspaper 1s prepared during the class period and posted daily in the school's outdoor bulletin space. The project was originated last year to supplement the regular school paper, THE BLOCKBUSTER, which is published weekly as a part of the class study of journalistic methods and as a school service. I tems displayed on the newspaper- buUetin board include photographs of school activities with accompany- ing captions and stoties; new s stories, features, editorials and col- umns written by students on school, local and national news; and lead news stories and special features clipped from daily regional newspa- pers and magazines. Regular sections featured on the daily paper include sports, theater news, editorial opinions and long- range surveys on such issues as po- litical campaigns, United Nations and school de-segregation move- ments. Newspapers represented in -the clippings and used in the classroom study in news analysis and journal- istic . methods include THE BAK- ERSFIELD CALIFORNIAN, THE SAN BERNARDINO SUN, THE IN- DIAN WELLS VALLEY INDEPEN- DENT, THE ROCKETEER and the RIDGECREST TIMES-HERALD. The project of emphasizing local and national news, according to in- structor Wayne C. Harsh, is planned to help develop news &wareness in the stUdent body and to train the journalism students in news selec- ~on and news analysis.
