China Lake Units
To March in Fair
Parade Tomorrow
(See Fair Schedule on Page 5)
A pair of NOTS military units will make their public debut
tomorrow in the 13th annual edition of the Desert Empire Fair's
Grand Parade.
Representing Seaman Guard
organized here several months
ago, will be a craCk, 28-man
marching unit led by Drillmaster
Troy Shenkles, MM1.
LCdI'. Lewis B. Shults, skipper
of NOTS Enlisted Personnel,
promised spectators "one of the
finest displays of marching prow-
ess in the area." He will lead
the contingent in parade forma-
tion.
Color Guard Enlered
The Security unit will also
provide a color guard for the
Seaman Guard contingent.
N a val Alr Facility's 35-man
drill unit, recently organized un-
der the direction of Ens. Stuart
H. Mann, is the second local
military activity scheduled to
participate in the parade. W.
Ugill, Jr., AE2, attached to NAF,
is the Drill unit's petty officer-
in- charge.
Spectators will see one of
NAF's newest drones, the Q2C
"Firebee," paraded on a special
float.
Mile-Long Procession
Scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m.
in front of the County Court-
house on Ridgecrest Blvd. the
mile-long procession, divided in-
to five diviSions, will wind its
way up China Lake Blvd., ter-
minating at the triangle in front
of the NOTS main gate.
Ev Long, attached to NOTS
Central Staff and co-chairman of
the parade, said the military
units will lead the colorful spec-
tacle in the Honor division. Five
marching bands including the
Marine Corps' unit from Twenty-
Nine Palms, will set the cadence
for the marching groups.
Fort Irwin's float, depicting
the tank u'nits of that command,
• will 'be one of the "out-of-town"
participating organizations.
Long said that parade officials
are still hopeful that the San

- 65-man marching band would be
here in time for the parade.
BOB VAN NOCKER jr., ex-
rodeo champ from Boron, will
ride a quarter horse in the ~
Fair Parade.

AtAECCommunities
(Edilors NOle: This is Ihe fifth
in a series of articles being writ-
ten to acquaint the citizens of
China Lake wit h informa-
tion concerning the 1I0penll com.
munily sludy.)
This article will discuss pub-
lic education in the China Lake-
Ridgecrest area. The existing fi-
nancial support of local schools,
and the impact of community
transfer at the AEC communities
of Oak Ridge, Tenn., RiChland,
Wash., and Los Alamos, N. M,
will be explained.
Since the establishment of a
community at China Lake, the
management of the U. S. Naval
Ordnance Test Station has rec-
ognized the need for a good
school system. Recruitment and
retention of high caliber em-
ployees in an isolated area such
as NOTS makes dependent
schooling a matter of prime im-
portance.
The firsl elemenlary s c h 001
session on the Station was held
during Ihe school year 1944-45
in the quonsel huts which the
Day Nursery now occupies. The
records indicate that this first
year of operation was character-
ized by improvision, cumshaw,
and confusion, but the kids re-
ceived a year's schooling.
The China Lake Joint Elemen-
tary School District was created
by a special act of the California
legislature in May of 1945. The
District has grown from six huts
and an enrollment of 365 in 1945-
46 to five modern plants and an
estimated enrollment of 2,500 in
1963-64.
Four Districts in Area
There are four school districts
presently involved in the public
education picture at China Lake
and viCinity. Burroughs High
School (grades 9-12) and a branch
of Bakersfield Junior College
which serve the entire Indian
Wells Valley are parts of the
Kern County Joint High School
and Junior College districts. The

According to Arlin J. Krue-

ROCOZ program, the instrument
functioned successfully through-
out the entire balloon flight and
parachute descent. The teleme-

assessed on the

Basically, ROCOZ is an optical
instrument utilizing the sun as a

China Lake Units
To March in Fair
Parade Tomorrow
(See Fair Schedule on Page 5)
A pair of NOTS military units will make their public debut
tomorrow in the 13th annual edition of the Desert Empire Fair's
Grand Parade.
Representing Seaman Guard
organized here several months
ago, will be a craCk, 28-man
marching unit led by Drillmaster
Troy Shenkles, MM1.
LCdI'. Lewis B. Shults, skipper
of NOTS Enlisted Personnel,
promised spectators "one of the
finest displays of marching prow-
ess in the area." He will lead
the contingent in parade forma-
tion.
Color Guard Enlered
The Security unit will also
provide a color guard for the
Seaman Guard contingent.
N a val Alr Facility's 35-man
drill unit, recently organized un-
der the direction of Ens. Stuart
H. Mann, is the second local
military activity scheduled to
participate in the parade. W.
Ugill, Jr., AE2, attached to NAF,
is the Drill unit's petty officer-
in- charge.
Spectators will see one of
NAF's newest drones, the Q2C
"Firebee," paraded on a special
float.
Mile-Long Procession
Scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m.
in front of the County Court-
house on Ridgecrest Blvd. the
mile-long procession, divided in-
to five diviSions, will wind its
way up China Lake Blvd., ter-
minating at the triangle in front
of the NOTS main gate.
Ev Long, attached to NOTS
Central Staff and co-chairman of
the parade, said the military
units will lead the colorful spec-
tacle in the Honor division. Five
marching bands including the
Marine Corps' unit from Twenty-
Nine Palms, will set the cadence
for the marching groups.
Fort Irwin's float, depicting
the tank u'nits of that command,
• will 'be one of the "out-of-town"
participating organizations.
Long said that parade officials
are still hopeful that the San
Diego Naval Training Center's
- 65-man marching band would be
here in time for the parade.
BOB VAN NOCKER jr., ex-
rodeo champ from Boron, will
ride a quarter horse in the ~
Fair Parade.
Nearly 150 organizations had
been entered in the parade pro-
gram by late this week, including
50 equestrian groups~ some 30
floats, 5 bands in addition to
special entries.

Station, will be one of the fea-
tured entries in the parade, ac-
cording to officials.
Ray Sinnott, presentations di-
viSion, said the Command would
also have its newest exhibits on
display at the fair.

School Systems Here

(Edilors NOle: This is Ihe fifth
in a series of articles being writ-
ten to acquaint the citizens of
China Lake wit h informa-
tion concerning the 1I0penll com.
munily sludy.)
This article will discuss pub-
lic education in the China Lake-
Ridgecrest area. The existing fi-
nancial support of local schools,
and the impact of community
transfer at the AEC communities
of Oak Ridge, Tenn., RiChland,
Wash., and Los Alamos, N. M,
will be explained.
Since the establishment of a
community at China Lake, the
management of the U. S. Naval
Ordnance Test Station has rec-
ognized the need for a good
school system. Recruitment and
retention of high caliber em-
ployees in an isolated area such
as NOTS makes dependent
schooling a matter of prime im-
portance.
The firsl elemenlary s c h 001
session on the Station was held
during Ihe school year 1944-45
in the quonsel huts which the
Day Nursery now occupies. The
records indicate that this first
year of operation was character-
ized by improvision, cumshaw,
and confusion, but the kids re-
ceived a year's schooling.
The China Lake Joint Elemen-
tary School District was created
by a special act of the California
legislature in May of 1945. The
District has grown from six huts
and an enrollment of 365 in 1945-
46 to five modern plants and an
estimated enrollment of 2,500 in
1963-64.
Four Districts in Area
There are four school districts
presently involved in the public
education picture at China Lake
and viCinity. Burroughs High
School (grades 9-12) and a branch
of Bakersfield Junior College
which serve the entire Indian
Wells Valley are parts of the
Kern County Joint High School
and Junior College districts. The

POLYETHYLENE BALLOON is inflaled al

ozone layer of the earth/s atmosphere.

By FRED RICHARDS
A new altitude record of 142,..
000 feet was set by a baUoon
flight of a NOTS-developed in.
strument recently at Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, in a final evalua..
tion test for a project supported
by Ihe Office of Naval Research.
Penetration and evaluation of
the ozone layer of the earth's
atmosphere (the ozonosphere) by
the NOTS ozonesonde (ROCOZ)
qualifies the instrument for fur-
ther testing as a rocket-borne
unit in a series of flights at Pt.
Mugu this fall.
Computer Assesses Data
According to Arlin J. Krue-
ger, NOTS project leader of the
ROCOZ program, the instrument
functioned successfully through-
out the entire balloon flight and
parachute descent. The teleme-
tered data, recorded on magnetic
tape, is being -
assessed on the
IBM 7090 computer.
Basically, ROCOZ is an optical
instrument utilizing the sun as a
light source. The vertical distri-
bution of the ozone is measured
through the attenuation of solar
energy by ozone at selected
