Tuition assistance program
aids base servicemen
The Navy provides financial
assistance through the Tuition
Assistance Program for college or
high school students.
Under the program, the Navy
pays 75% of the cost of courses
taken, while the student pays the
other 25%. The Navy's share is
paid directly to the school con-
cerned and not to the individual.
Locally, the Keflavik division
of the University of Maryland
provides college courses under
the tuition assistance plan. The
school here offers five semesters
of courses annually. Term V is
being announced in this issue of
the "White Falcon" (Page 5).
The Tuition Assistance Program
in no way detracts from educa-
tional benefits under the G.I.
Bill available after military
service.
Seniors on the Gullfoss with the ship's skipper are: Dave Burnham,

Kevin Sullivan, Bob Adessa and Gerald Duncan. Louis Kelly, the tenth

Mahan seniors take trip
to Isafjordhur ski slope

Ten seniors from the 1971 class of A. T. Mahan High School accom-
panied the group of defense force members and dependents on last
month's ski trip to Isafjordhur.
The small ski-resort town, located on the northwest corner of Ice-
land, is a ten hour boat ride -----------------------------------------
from Reykjavik.
Departing the base for Reykja-
vik at 6 p.m. March 19, the group
boarded the Gullfoss for the sea-
ward trip north. For some of the
seniors it was their first time
at sea. True of North Atlantic
waters, the Gullfoss pitched and
rolled and upset the intestinal
fortitude of several of the sen-
iors .
Isafjordhur, at the foot of
towering mountains, was covered
with three to five feet of snow.
The constant call of the slopes
beckoned, and the group hesitated
not in boarding a bus to the ski
lift. Once on the slope, even
the novices managed to stay erect
most of the time.
When night came, the group a-
bandoned the ski slopes for an
evening of dancing that lasted
until 2 a.m. Everyone enjoyed
the dance, but couldn't warm up
to the cold walk back to the
ship.
During the dance, the seniors
met members of a local Icelandic
basketball club. Result? A
challenge, a game, and a 54-52
final score — in favor of the
host team.
Monday was a day of sightsee-
ing, shopping, and touring the
shrimp factory. The factory in
Isafjordhur provides shrimp for
Iceland, as well as export pro-
ducts. That afternoon the group
returned to the ski slopes.
Tuesday, the last day of the
stay in Isafjordhur, was another
beautiful day. Although the ski
lift wasn't working for two hours
the group spent most of the day
skiing.
The ship departed Isafjordhur
at 7 p.m. and steamed all night
for Reykjavik.
The seniors ran bake sales,
car washes, and a spaghetti din-
ner to raise money for the trip.
Through these projects, they were
also able to pay for the boat
fare for each senior, and con-
tribute one - half of the chaper-
ones ' fares.
