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

THE JOB PLACEMENT DROPOUT PREVENTION CENTER The Job Placement Dropout Prevention Center is federally funded through the Job Training and Partnership Act. It is a counseling center ainned at keeping high school students in school. This is accomplished by providing personal, vocational, and group counseling, job seeking skills, and job placement to students in certain target groups. Workshops are provided to students who are eligible to participate in such areas as career exploration, employability skills, parenting skills, and personal skills. Students work in a variety of jobs including secretarial aide, clerical aide, laborer, cafeteria worker, mechanic ' s helper, dishwasher, etc. The monetary gain provided by these jobs gives the student some incentive to stay in school and complete their education. It also improves the students ' self-confidence and increases their chance of success. DRIVER ' S EDUCATION During high school almost every student will have been enrolled in a Driver ' s Education course. In this class, students learn the rules of the road and how to drive a car safely and efficiently. SBHS had two driver ' s education instructors this year. They were Mr. Robert Candler and Mr. Cliff White. 64
