and to surrender his all to Him.
Another very moving experience
was the annual drama, this year’s

theme of the play encompassed
many of the problems confront

some of their life’s decisions.

pleased to have two of our mem

Becky Hutchins played a piano
solo, "Tara’s Theme”from Gone
with the Wind, and Cindy Meyer
performed a dramatic skit from
The Rainmaker, and a comedy
skit entitled Rumplestiltskln. Ci

Bentley Asks For Halt
In School Arsons
ATLANTA—Comptroller Gene
ral James L. Bentley today call
ed on all Georgia school superin
tendents to take extraordinary
steps to prevent school arson
and vandalism during the next
three months.
Mr. Bentley said that the sum
mer holidays are the most cri
tical time in the year for fires,
vandalism and destruction of sc
hool property. He reported that
staggering losses are sustained
each year from such activities.
Since 1963, he pointed out, the
destruction of school property

mentarian - Carolyn Johnson,
Student Council Reporter - Nita
Darby. We are looking forward
to making this a very fine school
year with the guidance of these
officers.
Business wise, we had a very
busy month: 7,005 students used
the library and the largest single
day of attendance was on April
11, when 386 students came in.
Book circulation was up over 500
has cost the state of Georgia
almost $lO-million; the cost for
broken windows alone in Atlanta,
in 1968, was $97,600.
The comptroller general said,
“The State Fire Marshal’s Of
fice has investigated 133 school
fires since 1963. Ninety-one of
these fires were set deliberate
ly, and 24 were of undertermin
ed origin. This leaves only 18
fires, 18 out of 133, that are known
to have been caused by accident.
Further,” he said, “88 of these
fires occurred when school was
out-of-season.”
Thursday, May 15, 1969

previous month in that a total of
1441 books were checked out.
Os this number, 867 were Non-

largest day of circulation was on
April 9 when 101 books were
checked out.
The 1969-70 periodical order
has been completed and next year

Solar Simulator
To Help Probe
Space Systems
A new $2 million Solar Radi
ation Simulator will perform
critical tests of components
and systems of advanced space
craft for future deep-space
probes. General space environ
ment testing of spacecraft sys
tems will include system ther
mal studies, planetary transit
thermal tests, planetary orbital
tests, solar power systems, and
other thermal balance test pro
grams. These tests will be per
formed to assure reliable, pre
dictable results during actual
operation in outer space.
Spectrolab, a Division of
Textron, Inc., will design, build
and then install the Solar Ra
diation Simulator in Martin-
Marietta’s thermal vacuum
chamber at the Space Simula
tion Laboratory, located near
Waterton, Colo.
Main elements of the solar
simulator are a 23-foot-diam
eter mirror and an array of
19 arc lamps of 20,000 watts
each. The artificial sun will
consume enough energy in one
hour to power an average home
for 15 days.
The lamps are focused onto
a special optical transmission
system which beams the re
fracted light onto a giant mir
ror in the top of the large
space vacuum chamber.
The mirror, in turn, reflects
a 16-foot-diameter beam of
solar radiation adjusted opti
cally to simulate the sun’s in
tensity.
The artificial sun will be
housed in a new building ex
tension, which will be 40 feet
deep, 80 feet wide and 100 feet
high. A portion of the exten
sion will be contained in a pit
22^2 feet below ground.
