A New Guinea teacher in charge of a school with an interesting background is Mr. Jim Bye, here seen recently at Washington’s Pentagon with his attractive Canadian bride, Marilyn, after the couple were enter tained at lunch by several American World War 11 flyers who served in New Guinea. Jim Bye is in charge of the Airmen’s Memorial School, Nantambu, New Britain, which was opened in 1964 through the efforts of Fred Hargesheimer, an American airman who rememebered. Fred Hargesheimer was shot down in New Britain and survived only because of the help of the people of the area. He built the school as a practical thanksgiving. The school is financed by the Airmen’s Nantambu Memorial Foundation, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, where Fred Hargesheimer now lives. The foundation is now building a hospital. Jim Bye made a 6,000 miles tour of America, giving many talks about the school.
