may someday choose as
their own.
The field trips that
were taken fall quarter
were to Watson-Hunt
Funeral Home, The
Houston Home Journal,
and the Bank of Perry.
At Watson-Hunt
Funeral Home they
showed us a film on why
they have funerals. After
that they showed us the
different rooms and what
they do in these rooms.
Later they showed us the
different caskets they
have.
The second field trip
was the Houston Home
Journal. There they
showed us the dark room.
In that room they make
all pictures that are going
to be or have been in the
paper. They also showed
us how they make each
page of the newspaper.
The third field trip was
the Bank of Perry. First
they showed us the safe in
which they keep the
money and anything else
you might want them to
hold. Next they showed us
how to deposit and with
draw money. Then they
showed us how they
separated the different
checks and deposit slips.
After that they showed us
how they put the checks
deposit slips into books
for safe keeping.

During the fall quarter
Coach Erwin’s ninth
grade ISCS class had
three guest speakers.
These speakers were
contacted by the
students.
The first speaker was
State Representative
Sonny Watson. He ex
plained how a bill is
passed in the legislature.
He also talked about car
insurance. This was
interesting to us since
most of us are at the age
for driver’s licenses.
Mr. Henry Sandler, the
golf pro at Perry Country
Club, came to visit us
next. He explained the
differences of a
professional golfer and
HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, IH ncrcMqgß 2 0, 1979
golf professional. He
explained how to become
either one. (He explained
the necessary
procedures). We
learned that of the two a
professional golfer
makes more money when
he has a good year.
Our last speaker was
Dr. J.R, Arnall. He
discussed the many kinds
of doctors and their
different fields of medical
science. He made a
doctor’s life seem hectic
but rewarding.
We enjoyed the
speakers and appreciated
them taking their time to
visit with us. Although all
three were from very
different fields they have
one thing in common;
They all enjoy their work.
During the fall quarter
at Perry Junior High
School, Coach Erwin’s
ninth grade ISCS class
went on three field trips.
The field trips were set up
by Coach Erwin.
On the first field trip
the class went to Pabst
Brewing Co. The tour
guide took the class to
see where the cans were
filled with beer. We then
saw where they packaged
the beer. We saw the
boilers where they made
the beer and where they

“A room full of toys” --
that’s the way Direc
torate of Maintenance
employees describe the
conference room con
verted temporarily into
Santa’s Workshop in
Bldg. 220 at Robins AFB.
Sixty-nine pre-school
youngsters of low income
families at the Warner
Robins Day Care Center
will have a merrier
Christmas this year
because of that workshop
conference room
overflowing with goodies.
Come next Thursday
morning, Santa, in the
person of Bill Ramsey, a
Macon resident and
electronics equipment
specialist, Airborne
stored it. We saw people
who tasted beer as their I
job. After we had toured I
the plant we were given I
cokes. I
Next the class went to I
the Houston Home I
Journal on their second 1
field trip. We were in- |
troduced to the staff and |
saw where and how they |
put a newspaper page I
together. We also learned |
that they did not actually |
print the paper there but I
took it to Macon. |
The last field trip was I
to the Bank of Perry. We ■
learned what the dis- I
ferent tellers did and I
were introduced to some |
of the people there. We |
were taken into the vault |
and were told how it
worked. We saw the I
accounting department |
and saw what their jobs |
were. We also saw where -
they kept all their sup- |
plies. I
We were told how we
could get a loan and we I
saw where they sorted 1
out checks. We enjoyed |
the field trips and learned 1
alot from them. We hope ®
to go on three more this |
quarter. We really ap
preciate coach Erwin |
giving us the opportunity I
to learn about different i
jobs and people.
Electronics Division, will
visit the children from
the day care center's two I
facilities at Center No. 1
on Oak Grove Road.
Col. R.D. Smith,
director, Maintenance,
describes Ramsey, who
stands six three, as a
“large, jolly man who
looks and acts like
everybody’s idea of
Santa.”
In addition to the
popular Old Gent himself
and the large red
stockings of gifts, the j
boys and girls, ranging in
age from 3 to 6, will be
treated to a round of
cookies, punch and carols
by representatives of the
directorate.
The first Maintenance
Christmas Stocking
Project was launched j
Nov. 29. “We asked all
divisions to decorate
boxes for donations of
new and good used toys,
dolls, books, crayons and
what have you,” said
Joyce Taylor, unit public
affairs representative.
“The response has been
overwhelming. We didn’t
just get an abundance of
toys and other gift items;
our people donated
$830.61, We spent $134 on
the stockings.”
Division chiefs will
meet Friday with Col.
Smith to decide how to
spend the remaining
funds. Already recom
mended is the purchase
of coats and jackets for
Center 2 children who
need them and
playground equipment
for Center 1.
Mrs. Taylor said she
and Jean Cunha have
been busy painting the
children’s names on the
10 by 18-inch stocking in
their spare moments --
the stockings, of course,
are red with white tops.
As Santa’s helpers, the
two women have been
“painting” with glitter,
glue and a glitter pen for
longer names.
Enthusiastic and proud
of the response from
individuals in the
directorate, Col. Smith
said, “Living in a country
such as ours, we have an
obligation to share what
we have. The outpouring
from our people on this
project typifies to me the
Middle Georgia ethic of
generousity.
“I’ve lived in about 20
states and I don’t think
I’ve ever seen a better
demonstration of our
country’s basic precept of
sharing and giving than
here.”
