l Queen, Officers Sparkle At ROTC Ball By participating in the ROTC program, many students enhanced their knowledge of such things as aviation techniques and marching drills. Various field trips were taken which added first hand experiences to this insight. Throughout the year, the Cadets also participated in drill competition, marched in parades, and visited Bergstrom Air Force Base. In April, several Cadets traveled to the basic training center at Lackland Air Force Base. • Climaxing a night of awards, Julie Dabbs was crowned ROTC Queen at the eleventh annual Military Ball. With a theme of ‘Better Than Ever,’ the Cadets and their guests danced to the notes of ‘Eclipse’ in the Stephen F. Austin Hotel. Approximately 125 people attended the Ball which was held in the latter part of January. Guest speaker was Sergeant Dee Serna, instructor at Bergstrom. She discussed the role of women in the Air Force. Cadet Offices were also announced at the Ball. The position of Cadet Squadron Commander changed from Malcolm Brooks to Frank Bailey. Bailey turned over the position of Cadet Deputy Commander to Mitch Markow. Another activity of the ROTC program was the formation of the Rocket Club. “We cleared our probation for enrollment but we still need more people to join, according to Major Garland Virden, who sponsored ROTC along with Master Sergeant Ernest Cline. A citation from President Ford was received for community activities in the Bicentennial year.
