s ANGEL FLIGHT Promotes Air Force Angel Flight, a service organization and drill team sponsored by the Arnold Air Society, strives to promote the Air Force, the AFROTC, the university, and the community through service projects and drill competitions. During the summer, the Angels adopted the men in the Air Force ROTC viho were attending summer camp. Cookies, candy, and letters were sent to the men from their Guardian Angels. The fall found the Angels busily helping the Cadet Corps with the Air Force float ioi the Homecoming parade. The flight marched in the parade and also participated in the ROTC card section. The big project this year was rais- ing money for new spring uniforms which the Angels wore for the first time in the San Antonio Fiesta parade in April. Marching occupied much of the flight ' s time. Besides the Homecoming parade and the San Antonio Fiesta, the Angels participated in several flag retreats, marched in a drill competition, and performed during half-time of a basketball game. Activities with Reese Air Force Base included hostessing for newcomer recep- tions and ushering at pilot graduations. Angel Commander Susan Elle represent- ed the flight at the change of command ceremonies in August. Nine Angels attended Area Conclave held in Norman, Oklahoma. The Texas Tech delegation made a bid for and will sponsor the 1968 Conclave. Four Angels attended the National Conclave in New York City. These in- cluded Betty Fields, national archives officer, and Barbara Esslinger, national publications officer. Tech is the only school in the nation that has national officers besides the school that is des- ignated as National Headquarters, and is the only school with permanent na- tional offices.
