gy' V 1 r X i M ROTC: A alute to the Future Z We Want You! We all know it takes guts to join the ROTC. The strict rules, in- spections, drills, and afterschool activities - all of it can be too much for most of us. We see them practice in the halls around the school, or out in the cold in the parking lot. And as we watch, some of us are glad not to be a part of it. Why? Maybe because it's too much to handle, or maybe too much responsibility is involved, or maybe were just afraid that it might keep us too busy. Yes, being a member of the RQTC is hard work. So why did these students de- cide to join? They all have their personal reasons, but by the time they graduate, they will be able to take with them the patience, the responsibility, the discipline, and the respect they have either leamed or eamed through their membership with the ROTC. And with these, they are ready to join the competition in the real world, fully confident. -Michelle Boada No1..IIlwr.mii,bii1 lir,ilns,Iuu.
