J F January 24. 1958 Dr. Wm. B. J.\.IcLean- , velopment of Siaewinder. This was. the largest monetary award ever made under the program to J1 Civil Eiervice _ The award was presented to Dr. McLean: by Admiral Arleigh Burke. Chief of Naval Operations, at aj dinner held in the Waldorf-Astoria, Hotel, York City. . Rear Admiral F. S. Withington. Chief. of the Navy's Bureau of Ordnance, stated at that time that Dr. McLean's efforts wQuldsava the Government an estimated $46 million the first year. Dr. McLean' was again honored last August when he and Dr. Walter, LaBerge, a former Station scientist. were comm'ended .by the State Leg- islature for their part in the"' de- velopment of Sidewinder. How It All Began The conception of Sidewinder, probably stemmed from Bill Mc .. Lean's boyhood interest in gadget, eering, which has developed into a. lifetime hobby. As the son of a, minister' he found that money was not too plentiful, therefore, if he wanted a photo enlarger or a new electrical gadget he had to design. and build it himself. And since economy was the big factor, he had to design for economy in 'the cost of parts-economy in economy in to the tools he would need. It is little wonder then that when. he' became the' main force in the development of Sidewinder that he -- continually stressed design sim- plici,ty and 'ease of manufacture. The fact that the American tax-· payer has been saved $46 million in'· one year on the production of Side- winder missiles may be due to the tight purse strings of one man dur,- ing his youth. .' The originator of Sidewinder has this philosophy' of the Station and its work. He believes design and development work can best be car- ried out where you can also test your item and your de- sign according to test results. For this reason he feels that NOTS has a specific to people who like to design things and to see. them work. . This is what' brought ;him tQ NOTS and made it possible for him 'to bring about the ,Side.. winder project; likewise, he feels, it is the young .engineers and scient- ists who will' provide the answers to weapon needs of the future.

In September, 1944, when she. ar- rived by bus to help open the first makeshift school, the confusion prevented her -from lo- cating her husband for 24 hours. But the highlights of her story are the handicaps she encountered to open that .first session in' 1944. Six teachers were/hired to 'start the school year. sitting around for three weeks without any word of instruction from anyone pertain- ing' to the plans set to' start the school, tIle teachers 'took the mat- ter in their own hands and started the first sessioJl in Quonset huts that are now the Day .Care and Nursery Ce'nter. "There was no furniture, no books, desks or blackboards, and we' sat on benches," said Mrs. Mitchell: "\Yhen .I1laxine Booty managed to find a card table and a dictionary, the teachers were elated," con- tinued. was so helpful. We couldn't have gotten along without the . cooperation of. the Niwy and the parents," she added. !Ill's. Mitch- eil recalls teaching social studies to her' fifth grade by lecturing from the one and only book available. During that first year, the names of 98 students were included in her school register. A second section was started when the totaf exceeded the 45 student mark. In those days, she had to hitch- hike a ride on the or school busses to Inyokern for groceries. After living in a dormitory for sev- eral months, Grace and' her hus- band, Elias, were finally assigned housing. "It looked like it she commented.

B~' Diane CaseboltElementary Schools Publicity,.

. EditorGrace Mitchell, eighth grade Eng­

lish and Social Studies teacher inthe China Lake Elementary Schools,is the only remaining pioneer teach­er left at NOTS. ,The story of her'early experiences during her 14-yearspan on the ,Station is both humor-~

ous and inspiring.In September, 1944, when she. ar­

rived in~'Inyokerri by bus to helpopen the first makeshift school, theconfusion prevented her -from lo­cating her husband for 24 hours.But the highlights of her story arethe handicaps she encountered toopen that .first session in' 1944.

Six teachers were/hired to 'startthe school year. Afte~ sitting aroundfor three weeks without any wordof instruction from anyone pertain­ing' to the plans set to' start theschool, tIle teachers 'took the mat­ter in their own hands and startedthe first sessioJl in th~ Quonset hutsthat are now the Day .Care andNursery Ce'nter.

"There was no furniture, nobooks, desks or blackboards, and we'sat on benches," said Mrs. Mitchell:"\Yhen .I1laxine Booty managed tofind a card table and ~ a dictionary,the teachers were elated," ~she con­tinued. ~

"Everyone~ was so helpful. Wecouldn't have gotten along withoutthe .cooperation of. the Niwy andthe parents," she added. !Ill's. Mitch­eil recalls teaching social studies toher' fifth grade by lecturing fromthe one and only book available.

During that first year, the namesof 98 students were included in herschool register. A second sectionwas started when the totaf exceededthe 45 student mark.

In those days, she had to hitch­hike a ride on the N~vy or schoolbusses to Inyokern for groceries.After living in a dormitory for sev­eral months, Grace and' her hus­band, Elias, were finally assignedhousing. "It looked like it palace,"~she commented.

Ainong her first.stude!lts whoseparents still live in the area were:J.\.lar~· Ann Beech, Charlotte Reeves,Kelly Boot~·, To~' Miller. Jimm~'

Koontz and ~ Lamar Copeland, npwJ.\.Ir. and Mrs., are also included.,

Since teaching the fifth grade in1944, Mrs. Mitchell has taught thesixth ~ and seventh grades, and herpresent eighth 'grade is just finish­ing a study of the Revolutionary\Var,

A native of Peoria, Illinois, whereshe taught, before coming to ChinaLake, Mrs. Mitchell obtained herBA and MA degrees from the Uni­versity of Illinois. Her leisure timeis spent reading, knitting, and mak­ing needlepoint covers for her Am­erican provincial furniture. She alsocollects antiques, especially minia­tures. She is~ a member of Jhe Am­erican Association of University Wo-men and Eastern Star.~. ~ , .

Looking back on her Ii )'ears atNOTS, Grace Mitchell commentsthat the handicaps and obstaclesshe had to surmount have resultedin the most stimulating imd ~ grati­f~ing experiences of her teachingcareer. :,...
