Look Ma! No Props! Fteader's Theatre requires setting the stage with no props. Dee Dee Griffin is a princess in obvious distress. speech classes was Speech I. Stu- dents learned to overcome their fear of speaking. Kale Carlisle, sopho- more Speech I student, said, The first time I got up to speak, I was scared to death, but after that it wasn't so bad. Many seniors who took and liked Speech I in their sophomore years, had speech classes for both their senior and junior years. lt's really amazing to see how these students have changed. They have opened up so much, said Miss Larance. One student used to turn red when anyone looked at her, now she's fighting for the stage with the rest of them. Organizations I Academics

Speech debates the issues Individuals learned poise in speak- ing as well as earning prizes at tournaments while enrolled in speech-d rama courses. The major tournament of the year is the Razorback Speech Tournament at Fayetteville, said Kenny Griffey a senior drama student. lt's a lot of fun because after two days everyone gets really close to each other. Parkview placed fourth overall at the Razorback Tournament. The ln- terpretive Communication class re- ceived a second place trophy for their presentation of the reader's theatre, Liza Lou and The Yeller' Belly Swamp. The debate team made quarter finals. Several other students qualified for semifinals and finals which contributed to their placing fourth overall. Other tournaments were held at Henderson and Harding in Searcy, where Parkview had two reader's theatres for the first time. Speech ll and Ill was taught by Mrs. Marguerite Metcalf. The stud- ents in Speech ll, or public speaking, learned how to better their speeches and make them more effective. They also studied debate. The debate team of Patty Bates and Meredith Miller won first place at the tournament at Northeast. Miss Karen Larance taught the drama and interpretive classes. Stu- dents participated in pantomimes, reader's theatre, solo and duet act- ing, dramatic readings and poetry and prose.

It was not until 1972 that retired Naval officers, Comman- der Lewis L. Dobbs and Lieutenant Edgar Smith, began to instruct the first 60 cadets. In 1977, NJROTC enrollment approached 100, and the group had won several awards for its precision drill teams. The NJROTC's program expanded from its first days. Then, the corps flew to Pensacola, Fla., for Naval Orientation. Today, Key West, York- town and San Diego have been added to the NJFlOTC's list of places visited. Unfortunately, said Commander Dobbs, we haven't been able to go to any of these places in the last few years because of the energy crisis. We're keeping our hopes up for next year. Other changes in the program have included grooming regulations thair lengthl which have become much stricter in the last year for seniors, officers and drill team members. Commander Dobbs said, As usual this caused a small problem, but most students went along with the regula- tion. And for most students it has been worth the effort. About a third of the NJROTC graduates in the pro- gram's seven year history have gone into the Navy. 6l'lC9 945.1 NJROTC JUNIORS: llronf rowl M. Daniel, S. Reunad, J. Scroggs, A. Buchana, L.A.

One former NJROTC member is serving with the Pacific Fleet, and another is an instructor in nuclear physics at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md. Cadets going into the Navy from an NJROTC program start with two promotions, said the Commander. Of the 60,000 NJROTC programs in the United States, Parkview has had the largest number of cadets to join the Navy. In October competition at Pine Bluff, the first drill meet of the year, the men's drill team placed third in overall competition. In individual drills where selected members from each team competed against each other, Lt. Cmdr. Alfred Storay, company commander, took first. Se- cond place went to Anthony Handy, drill team commander. The girls' drill team placed fourth but at a November meet the girls took first place in all events, for the first time ever. They won inspection, basic drill, precision drill and overall com- petition. The men's team placed sixth in that meet. Captain Pinchwallow came for the annual NJROTC inspection in Octo- ber. I am impressed with Parkview's NJROTC unit. There is a slight chance they will go to national drill team competition next year in Flor- ida. l'm proud of them, he said. Atten-shun! The NJFlOTC color guard, led by Ensign David Hall, performed at the football games with the Parkview marching band.
