Parkview High School - Spirit Yearbook (Little Rock, AR)

he NJROTC Captain's Inspection in the fall brought a superior rating to the Parkview NJ ROTC for the second year in a row. This rating resulted in a 51,500 grant from the United States Navy. Though this inspection was by far the most important of the year for the cadets, it wasn't the only one as each of the 97 cadets donned their uniforms each Thursday for weekly inspections by their instructors, Cmdr. Louis Dobbs and Sgt. Maj. Clifford Burks. Another weekly event was Tuesday afternoon rifle drill when members traveled to the Army Air GR1fI1Hg Corps Training Center in North Little Rock for drill competition. Besides providing a spirit of competition, these drills taught basic skills in rifle handling. NJ ROTC members also had another chance to compete-with the cheerleaders! Both sold candy at the same time, and it was dog eat dog to see who could be the first to get money out of hungry Patriots. Money raised by the NJ ROTC candy sales helped finance a five-day trip to Pensacola, Florida, where cadets visited a Navy pilot training station. Such trips as these caught the eyes of prospective members. I decided to be in ROTC when they came to my school last year, said Roxie Townsend, sophomore. They told us how much fun it is to go on the trips and the other stuff they do. Also ROTC is rookles good for your future. She was right. Anyone who joined the service after participating in an ROTC program went in three ranks above other who joined. They could also get their college tuition paid by joining the service Chris Holcombe, senior and companyh commander, explained why he joined ROTC. My dad was in the service, and I always wanted to be commissioned as an officer in the Navy, he said. Now I've changed my mind, but I still mightjoin the National Guard. In spite of being rookies in the military NJ ROTC students learned skills that would open doors in the future. Ready, mlm, Ere. In the weekly rifle drills, Chris Holcombe, company commander, participates in th competition between classes. 218 Academics! Organizations
