48 JROTC Has Excellent Year The Thunderbird squadron has had one of its most successful years since its beginning in 1977. The unit started things off in the summer of '87 by having the mens summer drill team under Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Billy Wade, per- formed at open houses and parades. The unit showed school spirit by winning the annual hall decorating contest for the second straight year. For the third straight year the cadets rose the American Flag on Veteran's Day, and drill teams performed at local nursing homes for veterans. In the Metro Orienteering Meet, West JROTC took third place overall, beating several army teams. Jeff Rife and Mike Blecha took first and Billy Wade and Allen Fischer took third in group competition of 120 army cadets. The corp of cadets took part in many activities ranging from the Sophomore picnic, Hayrack ride, lock-in, Christmas Dance, and the Military Ball. The Drill teams should be commended for their fine job at UNL, UNO, ISU, and Junction City Drill Meets.
