E Learning battle strategy and competing with other corps has put McNeese’s ROTC On Active The Fall of 1984 was a very busy time for ROTC. Color Guards were provided for yarious civic functions around the Lake Charles area; among them the Homecom- ing and Veteran’s Day parades. Also a ‘survival lab in Westlake and the annual Fall Field Training Exercise were held. Among visiting dignitaries during the past year was Colonel Harold R. Brizee, regional commander. The Annual Turkey Shoot was, once again, very successful, netting approxi- mately $900 for the Corps. Cadets also ‘Carlos Treveno practices his camouflage and pa- ‘trol techniques during the Fall Field Training Ex- ercises. These exercises are held twice yearly to train cadets in military field procedures. (Photo by J. Gray) : Duty participated in the Louisiana Air Show and the Annual Cal-Cam Fair Festival. The spring semester began with the Annual Military Ball. The traditional pre- sentation of the seniors and their dates and spouses in a sabre arch and the tradi- tional toasts were the highlights of the ceremony. The Recondo Club was active during the spring, going to Arkansas during spring break. Also during the spring se- mester, the cadets went on two FTXs, one in Merryville and the other at Camp Beauregard. In the spring, ROTC supported a fund raiser for Special Olympics by collecting checks from Lake Charles businessmen. At Honors Day, superior cadets were decorated, and Major General Ansel M. Stroud, the State Adjutant General of Lou- isiana, was the keynote speaker. The Rifle Team, quite active this year, did well considering its limited experi- ence. In December, the team hosted La- mar University and won the shooting match. McNeese also participated in three postal matches at the University of Akron (Ohio), Greenville High School (Ala- bama), and California State University (Fresno). Other matches which were com- pleted this year included the Governor's Annual Invitational Match, and the ROTC Regional postal. Cadet Joan Borrow gives a turkey shoot custom- er firing instructions.
