(l-r) Jox-ph kaliii, This year started out with a fiehl trip for the 91 members of the Richard King Navv Junior Officer ' s Training Corps. Lead this year by Cmdr. G. L. Knight and Lt. H.W. Swearingen, the .NJROTC went to the Nava] Air Station for a flight in a naval craft. Some of the men saw the small arms firing rani e, while others saw the . .4S LINK Training Department and VT 29. The group had also planned a trip to NASA in Houston. -Another trip was planned to observe carrier operations at sea abroad an air craft carrier. Through high academic standing, their leadership ability, and a certain attitude, seven members of the NJROTC reached the rank of officer. These students were William Stewart, LCDR; George Dingier, LTJG; Michael Joseph, MCPO; Ernest Saenz, LT; James Wilson, ENS; Gary Brown, ENS: and George Smith, ENS. With music furnished by a Navy Combo, almost 250 couples representing the NJROTC from five local high schools attended the .Naval Ball on February 1.3 at the Officer ' s Club, NAS. The objectives of the NJROTC were to develop within each student certain habits and abilities. The first of these abilities was to learn orderliness and precision and respect for constituted authority. While becoming patriotic, the members of the Corps also developed a high degree of personal honor, self reliance, and leadership. Knowledge of the United States Navy surface ships, .sub- marines, and aircraft was acquired and mem- bers were also instructed in elementary militan skills. R nnie Tn f n V K ° ' - ' V v?
