'Billy Haywood' To Return From Alaska For Visit Here Harrison Now Teaches In Territory David C. Harrison, better known to his Haywood County friends as Billy Haywood, will come home from Alaska for a visit July 10-28. En route he will stop in Port land. Ore., to attend a National Education Association convention as a delegate from the Alaska Education Association. Billy is the lad who was left us a tiny baby on the steps of the Haywood County Hospital. The hospital nurses cared for him unti he was old enough to go to school and affectionately called him "Billy Haywood." He later adopted the name of David C. Harrison, earner his Bachelor of Science degree from Bob Jones University ant lias been teaching for the past yeai in Marshall, Alaska, situated, ai he says, "hundreds of miles from nowhere." Following is Billy's own story of what he has been doing for the past few years. By DAVID C. HARRISON (Billy Haywood) On June 1, 1952, Dave Harrison Bob Petersen. Jim Oates and Wil liam Striker left Bob Jones Uni versity, Greenville, S. C? by cai for a 5,000-mile trip to Anchorage Alaska. We arrived in Anchorage on Sunday. June 8. one week later It took four days to find a job and it was with the District Corps of Engineers. I worked through the summer in Alaska and re turned to B. J. U. in the fall to resume studies. My major field of study con centrated in business, economics, education, history and psychology. I completed the year successfully and decided to go to Detroit for the summer for employment. When we arrived in Detroit, we found work scarce. After 20 tries for employment I went to the Standard Tube Co., at Plymouth, Mich., and quoted a former em ployee of the company as to what the plant superintendent had said: "If any other B. J. "XT. boys ever need work and come to the plant tq inquire, Just say that you are from B. y U. and I'll see that you get a job." I landed a job that day and worked through the sum mer. I returned to school in Septem ber for my senior year. In the first term I was elected secretary of the Nikonian Literary Society and Chaplain of the University* Commerce Association. I played basketball, soccer and softball for my society. The second semester I was elected vice president of my society. I was a member of the Pan-Hellenic Council, which served as a liaison between the univer sity officials and the student body. I graduated fn the summer of 1954 and vacationed for a month in Canada. 1 returned to Detroit and accepted a position as busi ness manager of Great Lakes Col lege 1 also taught part-time in business science. I resigned sev eral months later and went to work as a salesman for. Sears, Roebuck. Upon the completion of my agree ment with them I accepted a posi tion with Western Electric in New BILLY HAYWOOD? NOW OFFICIALLY DAVID C. HARRISON, will return to W'aynesville from Marshall, Alaska, on July 10. A summer in Alaska in 1952 fired him with the desire to return there following his graduation from Bob Jones University, and for the past year he has been teaching in Marshall. York. 1 The end of February I flew to i Point Barrow. Alaska, the most , northernly point on the North American continent. My assign- 1 ment with the Distant Early Warn- J Irig Contractors was completed In i August. I then requested a teach-1 , ing position with the Territory Department of Education and was ( assigned to teach at Marshall, | Alaska, hundreds of miles from nowhere. My winter on the Yukon River . was spent with much pleasure. 1 : hunted, fished, lived and enjoyed life with the Eskimo people. Their customs and ways are governed by the effects of many years of hard- , ships. Their experiences prove how on* can survive in the land of 90-70 degrees below xero. Of the ways and means of an Eskimo many books* have been written, but one must see, live, suffer and enjoy life with them to appreci ate them. The village of Marshall is lo cated. 200-300 miles from the Ber ing Sea. On May 27, a friend and I took a skiff of the type that is used on the Copper River and with a 25 h.p. outboard motor traveled down the Yukon River. 1 visited every village along the river and talked to the important people of each place to spe and evaluate conditions along the river. At present I am working on rural schools In the field of main tenance for the month of June. This is an excellent way to aee and continue evaluation of Alaska's need In the field of education. I will fly on the first of July to the NEA convention in Portland. Ore. From Portland I shall travel to Waynesvllle to rest a few weeks at a friend's home. I hope to lecture on Alaska and show slides oti the Alaskan way of life. My estimate of Alaska and my answer to those who would like to come to Alaska is, "Only the strong survive." ?
