'LVIIUI3 E IU Illllliilllllllfl Halftime at Churchill football games was a time to see our band, dance, and drill team shine. It gives me a feeling of pride to see Churchill put on such a The dance and drill teams exhibit a routine in the stands. Dance team members Susan Klar, Michelle Rudd, Lisa Garden, Shelley Reese, Diane Martin, Zhi Kris Harrison get in formation for their ic s, magnificent performance. My favorite was their scatter drill unique, like Churchill and its students. Allison Wood, 12 Most student bodies use halftime as the opportunity to get a coke and socialize with the football crowd. But this is definitely not the case with Churchill students. A WC halftime was not a break in the action, but rather a boost in spirit among the fans. Charger halftimes were more than just brief entertainment, they were an experience in enthusiasm and sportsmanship that are such integral parts of the Churchill tradition. Karen Kroesche, 12 I think that the show at halftime at Churchill football games is set up and executed very well. It gives the people that are watching the game time to relax. The halftime show is also mean- ingful because the performers that are putting it on are from the schools that are participating in the football game. It gives another aspect of the school besides the athletic competition. Shane Miller, 9 1 1 l JV cheerleaders Melissa Muro and Alice Huggins are excited after an interesting first half. Our halftime entertainment shows off the traditonal Churchill spirit. Debra Colemanero, Missi Merritt, and Heidi Silber give their all into the dance.

ROTC . . . who says it's all work and no play? Perhaps the best thing we did in the corps was the Ft. Hood trip, especially as it had been advertised since last year when we set two different dates and both fell through. At Ft. Hood we first were shown some of the Army's helicopters . . . including the Cobra. Then we were shown some Soviet small arms and armored vehicles. After a break for lunch we were taken to see the latest additions to our own armored units .. . the M1 Abrams and the M2 Bradley. This was followed by a demonstration of the old cavalry unit at the base. Finally we stopped at the base museum and then we left for home. The best thing about the corps is its sporadic activities. Some examples are: when we were taken up in a brief helicopter ride, when we got to stay most of the day at a demonstration including a TOW jeep and a M60 machine gun, the year end trips, when the MUST unit came out Ca hospital unitlg and the C-130 trip. All of these occurred in the past three years. Also, we get in free at the football games and dances when we serve on an usher- ing or saber-line detail. Craig Petty, 12 I would have to say the best part of the year was the flight on the C-130 at Kelly Air Force Base. It was a first for many of the cadets and a majority share this opinion with me. Well, we see other cadets 5 days out of the week, and we're always planning something. We have so many activities in ROTC: Fort Hood trip, C-130 flight, rifle meets, end of the year trip at Port Aransas, Corps picnic, and Color Guard and Drill Team presentation at Special Olympics. That's the best part of ROTC. Pat Nolan, 9 Amanda Diettrich and Mary Stephens practice their hand maneuvers. Tim Huiatt and Lynn Greenfield walk arm-in-arm onto the dance floor. King Mike Hobert and Queen Amber Hutchinson accept their nominations together. Colonel Frederick Oldinsky gives Martha McGinn a hug. Mark Comalander goes wild at the Military Ball.
