onny Rice, sophomore, runs the obstacle course for JROTC. The military :ience classes run the course to test their physical capabilities and idurance. Military Science teaches skills In the area of military science, a new class, Leader- ship III, was added. This class, taught by Gunnery Sgt. Terry Raney, consisted most- ly of juniors and seniors. Students learned advance marksmanship and leader- ship skills in the class. They also studied great leaders like Winston Churchill and Robert E. Lee. Students enrolled in a military science class learn marksmanship, leadership, drill, ceremonies and physical fitness, said Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps QJROTCJ instructor Col. John Salvati. This was the third year for the JROTC program at RRHS. A total of 110 students participated representing all four classes. Students involved in the military science department were not required to make a commitment to one of the government military services. However, if a student involv- ed in ROTC for two or more years chose to join the military, he could get an automatic promotion of one rank after being recruited. Senior Doyle Haynes had been in the department for three years and this year enrolled in the Marine Corps Reserve. It's not like any other elective like metalwork or woodwork. This just teaches you how to be in the military, commented Haynes. The thing I enjoy most about teaching this class is the variety of students I get and the interest they show. I get to teach students in all grades, which most teachers don't get to do, said Salvati. ., I L ii I if .,.. I at so . - t 'P lunnery Sergeant Terry Raney reviews running Paschall.

Sixty-five of those students were Westwood students who came over daily to attend the courses offered only at the Round Rock ISD Vocational School which is located on the RRHS campus. Eighteen of the twenty vocational instructors taught credit in the classroom. Vocational education is very beneficial to all students, commented Mrs. Dennie Saul, vocational orientation counselor. Other vocational courses availiable to students includ- ed vocational agriculture, homemaking, marketing and distributive education, food service, drafting and electronics. Heidi Olson, junior, felt that those courses helped to expand the minds of many students.
