ROTC has busy month
by Cadet Bob Kiefer
Members of the ROTC class
have had a busy month. Although
the helicopters were grounded
twice by bad weather, the in
dividual clubs have been very
busy.
The drill team, taught by Kathy
Stone and Sharon Miller, is in full
swing. They now have enough
members to complete the team
and they can occasionally be seen
practicing in the parking lot
below the Memorial Building.
Sgt. Bankus said, "Kathy and
Sharon have completed their in
dividual training, and they are
now training the rest of the team.
Their demonstration of marching
ability is excellent, and the team
is progressing well."
The rifle team is now underway
and has begun practicing. Sgt.
Schermerhorn, who is coaching
the team, says, "The cadets are
constantly improving and will be
ready." The team began shooting
on Oct. 7, and has its first match
scheduled for Nov. 19. There are
presently 10-15 team members,
but this number will be cut down
to ten ( two groups of five
shooters) for competition. The
ROTC team will compete against
other area schools, but because it
is a new team, its record will not
count in area standings. It will,
however, compete regularly in
the 1981-82 s4ason.
The ranger club has been the
most active of the three clubs. On

the weekend of Oct. 10-11, 20
cadets were part of an overnight
campout at Hell's Kitchen. The
club trained in repelling, rope
bridging, and survival techni
ques. The survival methods
which Sgt. Bankus taught proved
useful. He had instructed how to
build shelters using rain ponchos
and, as luck would have it, 4
o'clock Saturday . morning, a
thunderstorm came up out of
nowhere. The shelters held all
dry; that is, except for Sgt.
Bankus. His shelter was reported
to have a rip and he got soaked.
On a more serious matter Sgt.
Bankus explained how safety is
always the first matter at hand.
"We are constantly overem
phasizing safety. No one has been
hurt and as long as the cadets
listen, nobody ever will be hurt."
Sgt. Bankus went on to explain,
"The club's activities are
tremendous confidence builders.
For this reason the club is
outstanding." The club is super
vised by Mjr. Hicks and Sgt.
Bankus, but the overall training
is done by Marty Kielbosa and
Mary Solt. Mary Is in charge of
instructing the girls in the club
who are "doing an outstanding
job of learning their ranger
skills." The club's activities, so
far, have been at the Hell's Kit
chen sight in Upper Lehigh, but
the club has tentative plans for a
survival-type trip along the Ap
palachian Trail in mid-winter.
