Hal Scholz, assistant teaching professor of engineering and physics, worked with Cub Scout Pack 61 with Michelle Kaschak, assistant teaching professor of English, as one of the leaders. During two meetings in October, the group built model rockets from common materials - index cards, balsa wood and rubber bands. Between bad weather and early darkness, they finally were able to launch the Scout's rockets on Dec 9.
