Named the Uiurftsen Laboratory in recognition of the exceptionally outstanding service of Dr. Charles C. Uiuritsen to this nation, the Navy, and to the Naval Weapons Center during and after WQrld War n, this latest additioo to NWC's laboratory com­plex stands as visible evidence of the high esteem in which Dr. Uiuritsen was held by his colleagues in the scientific and military community not only here and throughout the nation, but in some other parts of the free world as well.

Dr. Uiuritsen's widow, SIgrid, and a grandson, Eric Laurftsen, were among the

many guests who were assembled for the dedication ceremony during which the honoree's countless cootrlbutions in many fields of scientific endeavor were outllned by tbose pr:ivllesed to speak on this 0c­

Freeman m, NWC Commander, who later was joined by Mrs. Uiuritsen for the ribbon cutting that marked the official opening of Lauritsen Uiboratory, noted daring his brief opening remarks that Dr. Lauritsen was a man his own colleagues were quick to describe as a guiding genius in the early days of the Naval Ordnance Test Station (forerunner to

"In that spirit, It Is most fitting that this new facility bears his name," the NWC Commander continued, adding: "As Dr. Uiuritsen guided the efforls of the men and women of NOTS in the early days, we look forward today to this laboratory that bears his name becoming a place wIlere other scientists will guide future efforls on behalf of our natloo and the Navy."

Local track club to field two teams in Victorville relay

The Over-the-Hi11 Track Club will field two teams this weekend in Victorvil1e's SMual 24-hour relay race.

The race, which is sponsored jointly by " Runners ' World Magazine" and the Victorvil1e Parks and Recreation C0m­mittee, will feature continuous competition between its start at 9 a.m. on Saturday and its conclusion at the same hour Sunday. Approximately 30 teams from all over Southern California will participate in this event.

Eight OTHTC members - all of whom are more than 40 years of age - will run as a masters' team. They are John Anderson, Joe Kovar, Dave Rugg, Norm Nieberlein, Ray Jacobsen, "Scotty" Broyles, Dick WISdom and Bill Alltop.

The club's 1!knan team - which hopes to top 240 miles - consists of Byron Richard­son, Frank Freyne, Dave Maddox, Eric Kaji wara, Jim Dixon, Luke Crews, Steve Bovee, Dan Eidem, Paul Tjogas and Peter Grossnickle.

During the race, each team member will run one mile and then hand the baton to the next man. If a runner misses his tum, he is out of the race permanently. In last year's event, the OTHTC placed second by running more than 231 miles.

ROCKETEER Page Seven

.----Emploree in the spotlicht------.I Wilt Wyman is a man whose life is almost

completely oriented around recreation and community activities, and he loves it.

He wears ' 'two hats," first as the Naval Weapons Center's recreation director, and second, as president of the China Lake Community Council.

Recreation director since last April, Wilt supervises all Special Services facilities, including the Hobby Complex, the golf course, theater and Center gymnasium, to name just a few. In addition, he organizes the all-star teams which represent NWC in 11th Naval District and Mojave Desert Inter-8ervlce League tournaments.

"There's a lot more to this job than just putting a team on the field," says Wilt. "There's equipment to buy, budgets to prepare, and new facilities to plan for and work toward building. Problem solving is the heart of the job."

All in all, Wilt figures he spends about 40 per cent of his time writing - writing such things as memos, reports, evaluations and publicity. Included in this latter item, of course, is his ever-popular feature column on the ROCKETEER's sport's page "Wilt's Comer."

Community Council Leader In line with his desire "to see the

residents at the Naval Weapons Center as happy as possible," Wllt is very actively involved in community affairs. He was elected to the board of directors of the China Lake Community Council in 1974, and the following year was elevated to its presidency.

As president of the Community Council, he is a member of the NWC Policy Board, which hears all appeals that come from the Hearing Board; the Indian Wells Valley Youth Council; and an eX-<lfficio member of all other Community Council activities, such as the High Desert Recycling Council and the TV / FM and Bicentennial Com­mittees.

Wilt explains his choice of a career by saying, "I believe in leisure time ac­tivities." While in the Air Force from 1954-57 and stationed at Lack1and AFB in San Antonio, his job as a basic t raining in-

Wilt Wym.n structor gave him his first exposure to teaching. "While in the service I found that I enjoyed teaching people new skiI1s and belping them learn about themselves. So I suppose my life's work came naturally to me," he reOects.

Upon his discharge from the Air Force, Wllt returned to his hometown of Lemoore, Ca., and worked as a letter carrier for the Post Office there until 1966. He found, however, that this job "was not sufficiently challenging," and decided to continue his education in order to pursue a career in physical education-recreation.

Accomplished Tennis Player

While studying for his A.A. degree at Fresno City College, Wilt was the school's top-ranked tennis player in 1968 at the age of 32, an unusual accomplishment for such an "old man." And Wilt's game is tennis, all right . Since 1965 he has won a slew of tournaments, and at least one trophy every year since then.

Why tennis? Although Wilt played teMis while in high school, his major sport after graduation and the completion of his military service was golf. Between 196().65

HONORED AT RETI REMENT - A formal ceremony was held recently marking the retirement from active duty of Lt. Malcolm C.mpbell, w.rfare proiect officer in the Weapons Department at NWC. Lt.

he won three trophies, but felt he wasn't getting enough exercise in the process, and so switched to tennis. Wllt stI11 says he loves golf, though, and plays It occasionally.

By the time Wilt received his M.A. de­gree from Fresno State Univ. in 1973 ("with distinction"), be had had, in addition to a good deal of teaching experience in his chosen field, considerable ''bands on" supervisory know-how in It, too. ThIs be received while working from 19611-74 88 a recreation leader for the City of Fresno, in which capacity he was in charge of all recreation programs at a municipal playground.

Arrived ..... Well Pr_ed Wilt, therefore, was well prepared for his

work as NWC's athletic director when be arrived at adna Lake in June 1974. In this job, in which be served until his recent promotion to recreation director, be was in charge of the Center gymnasium, athletic and youth programs, Youth Center and swimming pools.

He and his wife, Diana, live in Navy housing with her children of a previous marriage, Leslie Kay, 14 and Karl, 13. Wllt's own children, - Jim, 18, and LeslIe AM, 14 - live in Oakhurst.

Enthusiatic about everything he does, Wllt describes his philOllOphy as one of ''participation. "

"Within the limits of the SpecIa1 Set-vices budget," he says, "we want to glve everybody the opportunity to get involved in whatever leisure time activities they migbt like. In order to have and keep a sound mind, you need a healthy body. While at . NWC, I've introduced co-ed volleyball, karate, kyacking, weight training for women and racketball tournaments - all in line with my general belief that exercise should not be only healthful. but interesting. And never boring."

Bicentennial theme aircraft decoration contest held by VX-5

With the Independence Day celebration di1ring this nation's Bicentennial year just around the comer, Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Five (VX-6) has gotten into the swing of things by conducting a contest for decorating a newly-acquired C-l aircraft in colors lind design appropriate for this special occasion.

Earlier this year, VX-6 submitted an application to be recognized as a Bicen­tennial Command, and has since recelved a letter from a special assistant to the Under Secretary of the Navy so designating the local squadron, as well as a Bicentennial flag.

According to LCdr. Jake Piatt, VX-6's Aircraft Division Officer, who was in charge of the squadron's BicenteMlal aircraft deSign contest, 23 entries were submitted suggesting color schemes and designs for the tail, outboard engine nacelles and the nose of the C-l aircraft.

The latter is a tW<H!llgine propellor driven plane that was received by VX-6 from the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and bears the identification number 76.

All of the winning designs incorporate various usage of the American flag's red and white stripes, together with stars on a blue background.

Instead of deciding upon just one design, the judges selected three separate entries­one each for the nose, engine nacelle and tall that were submitted by AM1£! Richard Simpson, DMSA James B. Artz, Jr., and AZ3 &bert E. Banister, respectively.

"Nothing else that he taught his students could have been more valuable. or is more needed today." the NWC Technical Director observed.

"Dr. lauritsen's field of research was. broadly speaking. radiation. and so it is particularly fitting that this laboratory. in which NWC will conduct research in optical radiation. be dedicated to him." Dr. Ho~sworth said.

Keynote speaker at the dedication ceremony was Dr. Emory L. Ellis. a fonner head of the old Rockets and Explosives Department at NOTS. whose close personal friendship with Dr. lauritsen and his family dates back to 1936 when Dr. Ellis. who had received his Ph.D. from CalTecb in 1934. returned there in 1936 to undertake a research program in biochemistry related to cancer.

"In 1942." Dr. Ellis had stated earlier. "I went to work for the rocket project in charge of the experiment station in Eaton Canyon-Willie Fowler was my boss and Charlie lauritsen was his boss. late in 1943. I was sent to Inyokern in charge of the CalTecb group to layout the ranges and conduct air and ground firing tests.

"For the next 11 years. Charlie lauritsen was closely associated with my work. first as the boss. then as advisor in his capacity as a member of the NOTS Advisory Board (and as a close. personal friend).

"After I left the Station (in 1954). we continued to be close friends and Charlie was always interested in my work."

Honored by CaITech Parode also brought out that Dr.

lauritsen·s son. Tom. was a student in a ciass taught by Dr. Ellis who. in 1970. was awarded the Alumni Distinguished Service Award from CalTecb.

Dr. E1lis began his dedicatory speech by commenting that if he had all day at the

Lengthy search lor lost girl ends in success A 17-year-<>ld Canoga Part girl. who

became lost some time Saturday when abe wandered off from a campsite In the Horse Canyon area. south of Wallter Pus. was finally found at around 10 a.m. Monday after being spotted from the air by sear­chers In a Kern CoUDty Sheriff's Depart­ment belIcopter.

It was estimated that the girl. Dorene RegIs. bad wandered about 15 miles through mountainous pine and scrub oak COWltry at an elevation between 6.000 and 7.000 ft. before abe was located.

A mixed group of lndIan Wells Valley Search and Rescue Team. auna Lake MoWltain Rescue Group and Boroo Rescue Group members was actively Involved In the search effort before the missing girl was found.

TIle IWV Search and Rescue Team mustered a total of 19 members after learning at 4:30 a.m. Jaat Sunday from Deputy Sbertff Jerry GreIm that help was needed.

TIle local ground search group was commanded In the field by U. Jack WIllIams. and the primary tracker from the IWV Search and Rescue Team w .. <l1ar1\e Rogers.

Groupe of sem:cben took turns trying to follow the tracks of the mi.,. girl all day 00 Sunday IIJld tbrousbout the nI&bt as well. By 4 a.m. Monday. more Jll!!lllbers of the IWV Search and Rescue team jotned the

effort and a call also was placed for assistance from the ChIna Lake MOWltain Rescue Group.

The job of tracking the girl was made difficult by the rocky. mOWltainous terrain. but it was determined that she bad beaded in a northeast direction from Horse Canyon on a route that eventually would have crossed the Wallter Pass Rd.

Dr. Carl Heller directed the 15 CLMRG members wbo were split up Into three teams and took to the field In relief of the other searchers who had remained out overnight SWlday.

Knowing the general direction In which to focus the search effort, it was possible during dayllgbt hours to send out teams some dIetance ahead to try and find the missing gIrI's tracks.

As the signs pointed more and more to the Smith Canyon area. which leads down the east side of the mountains toward Weldon, a Kern County Sheriff's Department beIlcopter with Deputy Sheriff Grelms and Dr. 'HeI\er 00 board began ~ fllgbts over that area.

After a few low level paaaea, sharp-eyed Deputy SherIff Grelms spotted MIss RegIs. and the "chopper" ptlot was able to set the aircraft down In a tlgbt spot nearby.

She was carrying a canteen. and bad bem able to find water to drink. The oaIy tint tid necerary. Dr. HeI\er asid, was to bandage

her sore feet before abe was flown to the Ridgecrest Community Hospital for a more thorough check of her condition.

Because the searchers were so scattered out. it took until about 3 p.m. Monday to get them all back by helicopter to the base camp that was establisbed high up in Horse Canyon. and it was around 4:30 p.m. before the last of them returned to the ChIna Lake­Ridgecrest area.

10 addition to Wi\liams and Rogers. other members of the IWV Search and Rescue Team who assisted in the effort to find the Canoga Park girl were Bob Wilhelm. Sam Wyatt. Ron Smith. Vern Fava. Steve Freeman. Gary Abr. Kathy and Larry Sires. Rick Davis. Bob Padgett. Hulen Frageman. Charles Gibson. ayde Parter. Dick Walters. FrItz Arts. Gary Worden and Alan Fry.

CLMRG members who. along with Dr. Heller. took part in the search were DennIs Burge. Alan Jones. Doo HarrIs, Dave Brown. Terry Moore. Hank Snell. Harry Garner. Bob Fletcher. Marty Landau. Mart HIncby. Dick Glee8OII, MIke Schultz. Forrest Uoyd and MIke Renta.

SheIla Rockwell and Janet Westbrook spent two hours telep!vmlng around to notify CLMRG members of the need for their help between 2 and 4 a.m. Monday. and tben traveled to the base camp wbere tbey alsl.ed as radio operators.
