6 Some of his fellow teammates in those years at Whittier were Bill Krueger, Merle Mashburn, Lin- coln Dietrich - and Richard Nixon. "Dick was cannon fodder as a third string end, but he never let up," Harris recalls. "He couldn't, because Chief would have been on his tail." Following graduation, Harris spent a year and a half doing social case work for the Social Relief Administration, then had a Shell Oil station and spent six years with the Automobile Club of South- ern California as a salesman and claims supervisor. In 1942 as the war came on, Harris started a machine shop as a hobby at home and ended up as the sole source for riveting tools used by Douglas Aircraft in their vital war effort. He continued ownership of the company, now known as Sierra Bullet Co., a manufacturer of projectiles, until he sold it in 1955. Later he bought an old body shop on South Greenleaf Ave., one part of which became his Olds- mobile agency and the other Modern Metal Manu- facturing Co., a fabricator of stoves and ice boxes for vacation trailers - another company he sold in later years.

When we started to another section, I asked our staff guide concerning the budget for this extensive program in relationship to their equivalent formal school budget. The translator asked and gave her return reply, "Oh, far more is spent in the Pioneer program work than the corresponding formal education years." We passed classrooms for study clubs in language, history, mathematics and science. Over 10,000 youth visit the Moscow Palace daily. Some 400 staff members plus volunteer leaders and resource personnel respond to the youth as they freely choose the activities in which they will par- ticipate. The motivation is left to the youth in this setting where a school grade for work done is not in the picture. Here under professional teachers a youth may find out if he has talent in painting, music, dance, science, math, or sports. The director indicated as youth with talent are discovered they

10 highest honor, The Award of Lenin, to the Young Pioneers on the occasion of their 40th anniversary. I thought of Erik Erikson's stress on competence as the specific strength which may emerge in the school age child. The Pioneer program we observed was using the child's eagerness to realize roles which could give promise of eventual recognition within the structure of his society. The recent publication of Erikson, Identity: Youth and Crisis,5 again has brought to our attention how positive goals may be built into each stage of personal development. Professor of Human Development and Lecturer on Psychiatry at Har- vard University, Erikson's clinical studies have caused him to theorize what he calls vital strengths or virtues which are man's potential in his interplay of individual growth and social structure. As the school child may have developed strength through the achievement of some competence he moves into youth to seek a personal identity to couple with his technological pride in his ever widening environment. Erikson has selected fidelity as the vital are encouraged to continue active participation in strength he observes as the emergent potential of that medium. Others are encouraged to move to- youth. He claims that youth searches for that to ward a more theoretical appreciation of the art or which and to whom he may be loyal.
