Senta Osoling learns how to determine latitude by using a sextant in September 1942 at Polytechnic High School, Los Angeles (which is, coincidentally, where my father went to high school). Senta later became a chemist, and is now the Director of National Center for Improving Science Education. Profiled here.

Sorry to have made your hearts stop for a minute, not my intention at all.
Oh, I am sure you has some years to go...
