Cameron ' s military department, Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), is headed by Lt. Col. Elton W. Duren, assisted by Maj. Donald L. Means, Capt. Michael D. Macomber, Lt. Jim Barnes, M Sgt. David J. Schuler, S Sgt. Larry E. Howell and Sgt. Kermit D. Arthur. Objectives of the military department are to present to every student enrolled in ROTC a two-year course in military education designed to develop individual char¬ acter and self-discipline, strengthen the foundation of in¬ telligent citizenship, and give training in basic military subjects that will be of future benefit to those who will serve in the Armed Forces, also to motivate the ROTC stu¬ dent for future military service and to prepare the ROTC student for acceptance into the Advanced ROTC Program, with subsequent commissioning as an officer in the U.S. Army. A potential national championship rifle team is in the making here as an ROTC officer instructs freshmen in the fundamentals of riflefiring. Aggie riflemen claimed the trophy for national Junior College rifle teams in 1961. An Excellent Military Department Below is the 1962 edition of the close-order drill team which has been renamed the Keathley Rifles this year in honor of a Cameron graduate and Congression¬ al Medal of Honor winner, Sgt. George D. Keathley. The Keathley Rifles represent the valor and honor of American fighting men. They perform precision manual of arms and close-order drill with all the snap and polish of seasoned veterans. 7
