What was the R.O.T.C? R.O.T.C. stands for Reserve Officer Training Corps. This or- ganization proved to be helpful in many ways. It taught students discipline, courtesy, and respect for others. Students were able to learn about flight, space travel and the ef- fects of man in space. Orders were given and also taken by students in R.O.T.C. This effec- tive organization ' s advisors were: It. Col. Leiss. Senior Master Sgt. Schnekenburger, and Senior Master Sgt. Therrien. R.O.T.C. has been active at MoVal since 1967 and has proved to be a truly winning organization. There were approximately 265 students enrolled in the courses. The Wing was divid- ed into two groups.- the Blue and the Gold. Each group consisted of two squadrons. Squadrons A and B belonged to the Blue Group and squadrons C and D made up the Gold Group. Freshman, Nghi Nguyen joined R.O.T.C. because like a large portion of the group, he wants to go to an academy and knows that he has a much better chance of getting in than those who do not participate in this organization. R.O.T.C. helped me to develop leadership qualities, said Nghi. Cur unbeatable and award winning Drill Team began the year by marching in the Homecoming parade. Open- ing school assemblies is just one of many regular assign- ments for the R.O.T.C. color guard. We Want More

Cditor-in-chief, Scott Sawyer, makes final plans for the next issue of the paper over the phone. Copy fitting i a very tough job as James Lowe discovers. Journalism ... it sounds like a disease. One that has obviously run it ' s course through the veins of I985 ' s Voyager staff and their advi- sor, Mr. Olson. The responsibility of gather- ing enough copy to fill the pages of the Voy- ager lay mainly on the shoulders of Co-Edi- tors-in-Chief , Scott Sawyer, and Bobby Keck. With the help of Mr. Olson, and the rest of the Voyager staff, the copy was edited, rew- ritten, then pasted up and printed. The pro- cess required two weeks to bring out the paper. Published every two weeks, the Viking Voyager was the most widely read campus publication. Reportedly, Mitterand Sawyer (Scott Sawyer) was heard to say, I don ' t know where else to turn but the Voyager for the latest breaking news!
