‘Mystery Contest9 To
Top AFI Field Day
A“mystery contest” has been added to the schedule of
events for the picnic and field day for AFI personnel and
dependents at Rockville, Monday, Aug. 30.
Although the unknown race, game, contest, or whatever
it is has not been devised for squadron point purposes, “it
could be pretty hilarious,” according to field day officials.
The entire day is to be full of*^
fun and food as the AFI squad'
rons get together for “friendly”
competition in various events and
to enjoy an afternoon of hot dogs,
baked beans, desserts and a variety
of other foods and beverages.
Commander’s Welcome
It will all begin at Rockville at
10 a.m. with a welcome by Col.
Alan G. Long, AFI commander,
followed by horsehoe competition
(single elimination), volleyball
matches and a rock piling contest
(what else?).
Judging of the entries in the
26Th Air Division
To Present Show
The 26th Air Division Variety
show will be in Iceland for a short
stay starting Thursday, Sept. 2.
They will appear on Armed
Forces Television at 8:30 that
evening. Friday, Sept. 3, they will
fly to H-3 in the morning, and
appear at the Andrews Theatre
later, at 6:30. Their last show will
be at Rockville on Saturday, Sept.
4, at 9 p. m.
This group includes the 26th
Air Division Band from New
York’s Stewart Air Force Base
and six female entertainers. Und-
er the direction of Chief Warrant
Officer Vernon E. Proctor, con-
ductor and composer, the band re-
presents the more than 36,000 men
and women of the 26th Air Di-
vision who guard the Northeast-
ern United States against aero-
space attack.
The band itself includes a num-
ber of specialty groups, such as
the Skyliners, who play Big Band
dance music; The V.I.P’s and the
Ranes Combo, jazz groups, the
Needles, a Rock-and Roll group;
and the Coachmen, folk singers.
pie and cake baking contests will
be held at 11 a.m. with command-
ers of various squadrons as the of-
ficial samplers.
Field Events
Track and field events which are
slated to start at 1 p.m. include
a softball throw for distance, foot-
ball kick for distance, 100 yard
dash, standing broad jump and
pushup contests.
The food serving line will open
at 11:30 a.m. with AFI officers
splashing the mustard and piling
<jion the beans until the line shuts
down at 1 o’clock.
Cartoons will be shown in the
theater for the young and the
young at heart all afternoon, and
fire engine rides will be available
at 3 p.m.
Day’s Highlights
One of the day’s highlights, be-
sides the mystery contest, is the
three-legged race for adult couples.
Such races in the past have been
known for thrills and spills and
this one is hardly expected to be
an exception.
Other events are slated too,
such as tug-of-wars for men and
women and an egg throwing con-
test.
In most of the competition
points will be given to the squad-
rons having the first, second and
third place winners assigned.
Points are given to winners in the
dependent contests also, and added
to their sponsor’s squadron total.
At the end of the day the points
will be added and an award will go
to the winning unit. Individual
awards will go to the point-getters.
Bus Schedule
Buses are scheduled to leave
the Air Force barracks area, of-
ficers’ club and NCO housing
area at 9 a.m,. and again at 9:30.
A bus will also pick up persons
in Keflavik at 9:30.
