Oh, say can you see? . . . The approach of the flag carried by members of the ROTC cues the audience to the singing of the national anthem. All-rise! . , . Although these ROTC members are oblivious to the many bystanders, their presence commands attention. Day after day . . . ROTC members, Mike Hodg- es and Darryle Foy, take care of patriotic duties such as raising and folding the flag. ....1.S.0'1Q9...- - Be All You Can Be No, we are not talking about the U.S. Army. Yet, we are talking about disci- pline and the rigors of military life. We're referring to an organization that allows you to be all you can be. It's a great way of life: Air Force Jr. ROTC! Of course the cadets may have a slightly different point of view. Keeping shoes shined and uniforms spotless isn't exactly easy. Marching in step with twenty to thirty others is no picnic ei- ther. 1 clubs All this is the job of the mighty ROTC staff to keep the reluctant troops in line. Led by Corps Command- er Rodney Bryant, this legion of doom orchestrates inspections and drills all prospective airmen on proper military decorum Qafter all, these are the first one's to greet administrators from the head officej. The ROTC staff endeavors to keep our corps running like the fine tuned machine every mili- tary outfit should be. Itls a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. There they were, just zz-walking down the street' ,... The ROTC keeps perfect time while marching in Fayetteville's 1987 Christmas pa- rade. -..ma , 14 ...

ITS, Drama, Forensics Hoora For Hollywood! Hurray for Hollywood . . . May I have the envelope please. And the win- ner for her performance in The Chim- ney Sweep Those words are the dream come true for many who are in- terested in the theater. Oh, to be an actor! The thrill of the stage! Of course nothing is that simple. Drama Club members learn the finer points of theatrical performance. Voice projection, stage presence are things you can learn about in class, but never know about until you have some experi- ence. Once Drama Club member, the as- piring actor simply must become a member of International Thespian So- ciety CITSJ. This is the creme de la creme. The ultimate high school acting troupe. ITS is the organization that produces the school plays, usually three per year. Also, Thespians perform on a competitive level at festival and nation- al competition. Drama, comedy, epics lst Row: Beatrice Melendez, Sherri Allen, Shari Compton, Jennifer Hoffman, Eric Ingle, Radha Ghosh, Kim Chastek, Anna Mott, Michelle Dob- bins, Jay Dortzbach, Lynn Patterson fsponsorjg 2nd Row: Kym Lucas.

There is a third organization that is somewhat similar to these two, in that its members also strive on stress and performing in front of strangers. No one is exactly sure what a Foren- sics team does. A few popular miscon- ceptions involve morgues and football teams. Let it suffice to say that you wouldn't want to engage in a verbal battle with anyone sporting a National Forensics League CNFLJ pin because you will lose! Forensics is, in fact, all about talking. This includes memorizing six character plays, or writing eight minute oratories, or speakin on major political issues. Fo- rensics teams take these works and pre- sent them at tournaments. Neither Drama, ITS, nor Forensics is for the shy or fainthearted. These clubs are for those bold enough to seek FAME! Oh, Romeo! Romeo! . , . Trish Murphy woefully calls for her lost love while rehearsing her role. clubs
