■ IN AMERICA'S MANNED SPACE FLIGHT PROGRAM, NASA IS BUILDING
STEPS TO THE MOON
The spirit that compels men to reach for
uncrossed frontiers will take men from
earth to the moon in -Project Apollo.
This ambitious exploratio.n is part of
NASA's manned space flight program.
The lunar landing is a national goal, and
its achievement will reflect the nation's
vision and the strength of today's science
and technology.
Saturn launch vehicles developed by the
Marshall Space Flight Center will place
Apollo spacecraft into earth orbit for
testing and flight experience, and later on
will hurl them to the moon.
The Manned Spacecraft Center at Houston
selects and trains the astronauts. NASA's
Kennedy Space Center in Florida assem
bles the three-stage rocket and spacecraft
in the world's largest building, trundles
them upright to the launch pad three miles
away, and starts the three Apollo astro
nauts on their lunar journey.
The steps to the moon -- and return to
earth -- are shown in the photo sequence
on the next page.

An account of the resource
Eleanor Newman Hutchens (October 9, 1919 to November 9, 2016) attended Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, majoring in English and Greek. After receiving her B.A. in 1940, she attended the University of Pennsylvania, acquiring an M.A. and Ph.D. in English literature (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens first held a part-time teaching position at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 1955, then joined the faculty with a full-time position in 1957. She taught English, her specialties the English novel, literary criticism, and 18th century literature. Hutchens also chaired the steering committee “for its initial accreditation and the first committee for the selection of majors,” and served as the first elected president of the Faculty Senate. She moved to Agnes Scott College in 1961, remaining there until 1966. She eventually returned to UAH and remained a member of its English department until her retirement in 1979 (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens wrote prolifically over and after her career, publishing Irony in Tom Jones, Writing to Be Read, and “numerous articles in national and international journals” (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens was very active even outside of her academic career, serving as "president of the Huntsville Hotel Company, owner of the Russell [sic] Erskine Hotel, and as a director of the Huntsville Land Company, the West Huntsville Land Company, and the Mountain Heights Development Company.” She was "a founder and charter member of the board of Randolph School," a board member of the Huntsville Public Library and the Huntsville Symphony, and "an active member of the [Episcopalian] Church of Nativity.” Hutchens was also a member of "the Historic Huntsville Foundation, the Huntsville Historical Society, the Botanical Garden, the Burritt Museum of Art, the Huntsville Museum of Art, and the Friends of the Huntsville Public Library” (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).

the building of a larger theater, which burned before construction was
completed.

�SALUTE TO THE ALABAMA FLAG:
Flag od Alabama, I salute thee. To thee I pledge my
allegiance, my service, and my life.
STATE SONG: The words of "Alabama," the State song were written by Miss Julia S.
Tutwiler, a distinguished educator and humanitarian. It was first sung to an
Austrian air but in 1931 through the interest of the Alabama Federation of Music
Clubs, a tune written by Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen, of Birmingham, was adopted
by the Legislature as the official State song. The Bill was introduced by the
Hon. Tyler Goodwin. of Montgomery, and was approved by Governor B. M. Miller.
The inspiration for writing the poem "Alabama" came to Miss Tutwiler
after she returned to her native State from Germany where she had been studying
new educational methods for girls and women. She found the people of Alabama
greatly depressed due to Reconstruction conditions following the War Between the
States. She recalled '\,hat in Germany partriotism was kept aflame by spirited
songs. She thought that it would be helpful toward restoring the spirits of our
own people to give them a new partiotic song; so she wrote a father-land song
for us and called it "Alabama."

After receiving her B.A. in 1940, she attended the University of Pennsylvania, acquiring an M.A. and Ph.D. in English literature (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens first held a part-time teaching position at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 1955, then joined the faculty with a full-time position in 1957. She taught English, her specialties the English novel, literary criticism, and 18th century literature. Hutchens also chaired the steering committee “for its initial accreditation and the first committee for the selection of majors,” and served as the first elected president of the Faculty Senate. She moved to Agnes Scott College in 1961, remaining there until 1966. She eventually returned to UAH and remained a member of its English department until her retirement in 1979 (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens wrote prolifically over and after her career, publishing Irony in Tom Jones, Writing to Be Read, and “numerous articles in national and international journals” (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).
Hutchens was very active even outside of her academic career, serving as "president of the Huntsville Hotel Company, owner of the Russell [sic] Erskine Hotel, and as a director of the Huntsville Land Company, the West Huntsville Land Company, and the Mountain Heights Development Company.” She was "a founder and charter member of the board of Randolph School," a board member of the Huntsville Public Library and the Huntsville Symphony, and "an active member of the [Episcopalian] Church of Nativity.” Hutchens was also a member of "the Historic Huntsville Foundation, the Huntsville Historical Society, the Botanical Garden, the Burritt Museum of Art, the Huntsville Museum of Art, and the Friends of the Huntsville Public Library” (“Eleanor Hutchens - Obituary”).

Description
An account of the resource
Christel Ludewig McCanless was born in Germany in 1939. Her father, Hermann Ludewig, was one of the V-2 engineers at Peenemuende. Consequently, she grew up in Peenemuende until an air raid in 1943 destroyed their home. McCanless and her family moved to Trebbin, Germany, which became part of East Germany after World War II.
In 1953, Ludewig accepted a job to work with Von Braun in Huntsville, Alabama and decided to flee East Germany with his family. McCanless continued school in the United States and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Montevallo and then graduated with a Masters in Library Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
She served as the first full-time, professional librarian at UAH. After serving as the Library Director at UAH, she worked in the Huntsville Times newspaper library, the Huntsville Museum of Art’s Art Reference Library, and the Huntsville Museum of Art’s Education Resource Center. In addition, she consulted for the Alabama Library Exchange and created workshops on technology and library science.
McCanless is the author of "Fabergé and His Works: An Annotated Bibliography of the First Century of His Art" and a co-author of "Fabergé Eggs: A Retrospective."
