Rain interferes with trips Cecilia Couch places second in Louisiana rifle meet Enticed by the military drills per- formed by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Army Fife and Drum Corps, the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps took off for the State Fair of Texas in Dallas in October. But rain ruined the day. The state fair was awful. When it started raining, everybody would run into the buildings. We ate our full of food samples though, Sergeant David Andrews commented. Rain ruined another field trip for the JROTC. 'Aggie for a Day, was fun, but it rained all day and since we were sup- posed to wear our uniforms, l felt that mine must have shrunk two sizes, cadet captain Chris Douglas, junior, said. On another trip the JROTC rode in a helicopter provided by the Grand Prairie Naval Air Station and flew over the school then back to the station. In November the rifle team competi- ROTC tions started with a meet in Wichita Falls. Placing seventh there, the rifle team took ninth at the University of Texas at Arlington match. At the Dallas County Invitational Rifle Meet in Irving, the team placed first in prone. In another shooting contest, the turkey shoots, Allen Boyer and Leticia Martinez won first place with Robert Essler, substitute teacher, winning the faculty category. Mrs. Jackie Slaughter and Mrs. Nataline Whitfield tied for first place in the female faculty category. At the Holiday in Dixie Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana, the rifle team placed second in overall performance out of 32 teams. Also junior Cecilia Couch placed second in individual shooting out of 186. I liked that trip more than any other, Cecilia said. But there was one trip we went on that came close -- that was the trip to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. l At the JROTC social event of the year, Connie Crouch and Stephen Cooke reign as queen and king.

iWe leave only footprints' Speakers, campouts, projects enhance projects A great love and respect for the out- doors and wildlife prompted students to enroll in Outdoor Education, 97 in Woods and Waters. Class members can join the club if they desired extra activities. We elect no officers, Mr. Ron Frank, class in- structor, explained. Aside from class assignments, Mr. Frank arranged for speakers involved in the outdoors to visit including Mr. Ron Johnson of the United States Forest Service, Mr. Clay Yondell and Mr. Jeff Haines of the Richland Hills Fire Department, Mr. Jon Loven of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Mr. Ernest De LaRosa and Mr. Larry Osborne of the Texas Parks f Q and Wildlife Service and Mr. Tom Dickens of the Explorer Scouts of America. Class projects included building custom fishing rods and lures and loading shells. Some students built black powder guns from a kit. We study conservation and ecology in the classroom and apply it when we go on campouts. For exam- ple, we never cut trees or build fires unless one has already been built by someone before. We attempt to leave the wood and waters in its natural state. We 'take only pictures and leave only footprints, ' Mr. Frank summarizedl . ,A .- y 1 ,kiwi , x 9 , , . 1 .. . N. 1 , 'L ' ,T ,- ,r ..
