Ball Acclaims With an air of military decorum, the Ninth Annual Air Force Military Ball was the time for awards and special recogni- tion to cadets and the naming of a ROTC Queen. Cadet Captain Ronald Ottinger passed the change of command to Cadet 1 st Lieutenant Lester Shaw. This was followed by special awards to cadets who had done Top Cadets, ROTC Queen outstanding jobs in their particular areas. Queen of the Ball was Mary Ottinger with Anita Sneed as first runner-up and Sue Hoffman as second runner-up. Guest speaker for the evening was Colonel John E. Stavast, Commander of the 67th Combat Support Group. His speech on leadership stressed the fact that everyone has qualities of leadership but some are able to develop it more fully than others. Major Garland Virden and Sergeant Ernest Cline were presented gifts of appre- ciation from the cadets. Major Virden received a plaque while Sergeant Cline was given an enormous cigar. Dancing completed the night of merri- ment for the annual event. ROTC 81

Inspections, Drills Mark ROTC Week The weather may be cold or hot. The day may be dreary or sunshiny. Whatever the weather, the ROTC cadets may be seen out on the parking lot across from Nelson practicing their 'hup, two, three, four,' or 'about face.’ This is only a small part of the drills and hard work that goes into the program at Reagan, the only one of its kind in an Aus- tin school. They also learn aviation knowl- edge that might be helpful if they decide to make the Air Force their career. All is not work as the cadets helped with a Christmas program at the State School, participated in parades, and honored an outstanding cadet with the Military Civic Award. Calendar sales and a car wash helped fund the corps.
