The program, now in its fifth year, is designed to assist motivated, eager students in developing discipline and leadership skills that will prepare them for careers in both 3 technological and military fields. Throughout the year the cadets were in constant competition we with one another for outstanding achievement in various areas A of the preparation course. The reason for the disciplined drilling on the basketball courts that you may have noticed this past year, was so that the cadets could learn how to lead and be led R.O.

The Show Goes On There is a feeling you get when you are on the stage, ask any Masque and Dagger member about it. With the many creative talents of Mr. .lay Dean Jones. hon- ored Masque and Dagger members once again were able to dive into the truly enriching world of drama. The students were chosen to participate in this organization based on their performance during their auditions. After becoming a member, the group explored the diverse field of theatrical work. Though this field is di verse, there is always a part for every- one. If one is fascinated by acting, one may choose to act in a play, do improvisations. skits, or pantomimes. Not all of the jobs to be had are in front of audiences. Behind the scenes is the Stage Crew. The Stage Crew is responsible for working the sound equipment, the lights and various aspects of putting a show together. The crew is under the direction of Mr. Jones also. The group meets first hour as a regular class to learn the technical aspects that must be known in order to carry out the needed responsibilities. The members are able to select which area they want to work and they become somewhat professional at what they do. The Masque and Dagger club experienced many thrills throughout the year. Many of the members will cherish their memories of the years spent as a member of such an inter- esting organization. ABOVE: Stage Crew. TOP ROW: Louis Roundtree, Tom Hubbard.
