JROTC Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps was an excellent program at South this year. JROTC was much more than wearing a uniform once a week or practicing drills. The program stressed leadership training, scholarship, and good citizenship. The rank system and award ceremonies were designed to reward students who best displayed these qualities. Academics were an important part of the JROTC program, but field trips and extra-curricular activities also played an important part. This year there were three companies, in addition to Color Guard, Rifle Team, and Drill Teams. The JROTC program was instructed by Colonel William Faught and Sergeant Major Gerald Derr. 62
