TECHNICAL TRAINING INCLUDES |UIUp5RV The Air Force Junior ROTC had an additional look beginning the 74-75 school term. The program was opened to female students. With an enrollment of 188 students, 82 of them were female. This year the program was moving onto more innovative ideas. A special cadet headquarters was set up in the school. An orientation flight was also held. A funeral detail, which was made up of students, and volunteered its services for military funerals, was also continued. The results of the 1974 Aerospace Education Foundation's second annual worldwide contest saw Cambria Heights receiving an Honorable Mention. Students prepared a presentation on the topic, The Air Force As A Unique National Resource.” The 1975 topic was How Best To Keep The Peace - Emphasizing Interdependence of Diplomacy and Military Power. Jr. ROTC students also entered the Freedom Foundation Essay Contest. With five local winners to be announced, the students worked on the topic, Human Goals - A Proud Heritage. Another innovation of this year was the Tenth Grade Option. A summer program, consisting of 120 hours, was primarily planned to include vo-tech students, who were unable to schedule the course as sophomores. The summer program could then be substituted for the initial complete year. 12
