S ROTC CReserve Officer Training Corps or Military Sciencej, Basically Junior ROTC exposes the student to some of the termi- nology, basic military leadership and vari- ous items of equipment in use by the mili- tary today. A great deal of emphasis is placed on developing the leadership poten- tial of each student. Even though Military Science doesn't promise to instantly develop anyone into a leader, the opportuni- ties are open for those desiring to develop the inherent potential that all possess. Military Science students are encouraged to participate in one of the ROTC teams. Activities include ROTC Color Guard, Ranger Company, Rifle Team, Drill Team, and Orienteering Team.
