Ham it Up Marching Raiders Strut Their Stuff 55.4 The South Rowan Marching Raiders. headed by Gene Trawick and directed by drum majors David Duncan, Lori Cole, and Amy McLaughlin, experi- enced another fantastic year. Over 200 members began the season with long and hot summer practices preparing for this year's performances. The many hours of hard work were highly appreciated by all the audiences. The band was present for all except two games. They also marched in the Veteran's Day, China Grove-Landis, Salisbury-Spencer. and Kannapolis Christmas parades. During halftime, the band entertained the fans with songs such as Dancing Men, Swingin Saints, and Theme from E.T. South Rowan should be proud of the band and thankful to Mr. Tra- wick for doing a great job.

What's Developing? New RCTC Program Initiated ln the spring of I983. funding was made available for IZO students at South Rowan to begin military train- ing. Under the direction of Lt. Col. Duncan and Sgt. Maj. Burke. the first Army Jr. ROTC program in the county is one of thirteen in the state. Developing effective leaders from the young men and women of today is the major goal of the program. ln achiev- ing this. the axiom. He that would lead must first learn to obey. plays a key role. Essential elements that affect the strength and effectiveness of the unit are self-discipline and respect for au- thority. To each cadet. wearing his uniform is a reflection of pride. They must portray respect for others and themselves while insisting on perfec- tion. The cadets are told that, the best led men are victors. Every member of the South Rowan cadet corps there- fore must be a leader - actual or potential. By Janiie CK1l'fl1 Hard Work and Dedication: Karen Burgess busi- ly types at a computer.
