St. Louis Area Program

Bob Underwood, associate vice president for the St. Louis, Missouri region, sent in pictures from a program he did with six fifth-grade classes at the school where his daughter teaches.

There were 130 students. In a three-hour period, 40 minutes were spent in the library for a talk and a demonstration of assembly procedure. The group then went outside for a brief flying exhibition and later returned to the classrooms.

A gluing table was set up in the hall for final assembly checks. Class schedules allowed two classes at a time to be outside flying.

Bob reports that, considering the time factor and that this was new to the teachers, all went well. They even put a couple of airplanes up on the school roof and into the trees.
