R.O.T.C. When a person says, R.O.T.C , one would think of students dressed in so called Monkey Suits . But R.O.T.C. is much more than that. The R.O.T.C. Depart- ment dealt with basic mili- tary subjects. In R.O.T.C, one got to experience lead- ership abilities, and patrio- tism, as well as practicing discipline. R.O.T.C. was a class that required much work and patience. But the work was not in vain. For those cadets that walked the extra mile, a well de- s erved award was given.

Sophomores Challenge is the word that sophomores used to describe the graduation requirements they had to complete. One of these require- ments is the Basic Skills Test (BST). Clifford Strong, president of the Sophomore Class, said that the un- derclassmen were more privileged than the upperclassmen because they were taking this test. By Tak- ing this test, He said we are able to increase our academic level in test taking. He felt that the test was very easy and that a high per- centage of his tenth grade class- mates would pass. He also said, This test is actually preparing us for college because, college will not teach us the basics. We will have to know them when we get there.
