I joined the ROTC to better ed- ucate myself with the military, said David Groce I1 ll. The pur- pose of the ROTC is to help students become more knowl- edgeable about their country. Many students were encouraged into the program by their par- ents who were in similar pro- grams or were actually in the armed forces. After joining the At the Birdville Invitational, Ron Deal 1101, Brianna Keen C123 and David ROTC ROTC, students were encour- aged and taught by Colonel Ad- cock, the ROTC instructor. Students not only spend time training and learning inside class, but outside class as well. Time was required in military drill procedures and planning. The students hosted the Annual Turkey-Shoot for the students of Richland and the Birdville Invi- tational Drill Competition at Birdville Coliseum. February finally rolled around along with the ROTC's annual military ball. Maynard Tagorda and Brianna Keen were selected as King and Queen.

Knowleclgepfeferzrcla and rr lot of practice proved there leczmf to be rzmrlemimlly HIGHLY C0 PETITIVE For a person who is competitive, yet is not interested in participating in school sports, two alternatives are the Whiz Kids and Chess Club. Both of these organizations required competition and intelligence in or- der to allow the students a chance to take part in the school's activ- ities. When Mr. Rolf Eklund's Human- ities class was disbanded, the fate of the Whiz Kids team was in the hands of volunteers. These volunteers made sure there were enough peo- ple at every tournament to consti- tute a team. We really worked hard to make sure we did not forfeit, Craig Lan- caster C12l, said. That would have been very counter-productive. Tournaments were held at Martin High School each month.

The object of Whiz Kids was to answer various questions relating to a number of subjects, including sci- ence, music, history, sports, and lit- erature. This is my first year in Whiz Kids and I had a lot of fun, Jeff Knollenburg 112i said. i'You really can learn a lot at it. Strategy. That was the key. And, according to Kyle Findley Cllj, that was the main reason for having a chess club. The club was just a bunch of people who enjoyed the game and enjoyed each other, he said. We all liked to get together and learn new stratagiesf' The club, led by President Joe Baker, had one tournament in Jan- uary, with Rhett Woo winning the overall title. Findley said that the chess club has been good to him and that he hopes it will continue.
