Students Help Man Observation Post
For the past few months students of Windber High School have been helping to man the observation post on the roof of the school. The purpose of its observation post and of the ground observer corps is to search the sky for planes.
When a ground observer sees a plane, they immediately call the local operator, who in turn connects him with Pittsburgh. When he is connected with Pittsburgh, the ground observer reports the kind of plane he has seen, the direction in which it was flying, and the approximate height at which it was flying.
This program is designed to protect the community.
