Militarily Speaking Attentionl Color Guard ad- vance! This sound was heard by many at the start of each football game at Memorial Stadium. Being a member of the Reserve Officer Training Corp, ROTC, took a great amount of self-discipline. Under the stern and able leadership of Captain Charles Butler and Chief Cecil H. Dinwiddie, ROTC accomplished several things this year. One of these was raising the flag every morning before and after school. The color guard presented the colors at every. football game. With the help of Gordon Smith, senior, the ROTC was also installed as Lariaette guard. Participating in the March of Dimes was also an activity for the group. Some of the subjects covered in class were weapons, oceanography, first aid, navigation, and communications. The ROTC course helped to prepare three students for careers after high school.Joining the Navy through the delayed entry program were seniors, Vickie Trent, Paul Moss, and Gordon Smith. When Dinwiddie was asked if any of his students had ever joined up right after graduation he replied, No. This is the first time that they've joined so soon, and it's also the first time for a girl to go into the service from here. Military Banquet, held April 30, was the big event forajj, The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the Royal Court. Receiving the honor of King and Queen were seniors George Clendin and Becky Bar- nett. South Houston students receiving the positions of Prince and Princess were David Collins, and Rosey Morino, senior and junior. Duke and Duchess were Roger Hill, a junior from South Houston, and Vickie Trent, senior. The ROTC Beau was Clarence Durham, senior.

' '- I Physics students listen to their teacher, Linda Perez. Getting Aocustomed. . . To A Daily Routine As changes in faculty occured, so did revisions of the curriculum. The reason for being here from 8:45-3:45, five days a week, 175 days a year, unfolded through hours of lectures, weeks of finals, and eons of homework. Basic classes proved to be anything but basic when taught by unique teachers who had a way of making even the dullest hyper- bole fun. History courses provided insight into turmoils of the present and past, and humanities helped students to learn more about themselves, as well as, the people about them. Activities and sports were available for those who had the time and energy to devote to yet another cause. Although students often griped about having to attend classes, they soon lear- ned how to suffer through the morning in anticipation of that blessed 35 minute lunch period or the heavenly bell that rang at 3:45 signaling an end to another day at JFD.
