Over the summer of 2009, the Marine Corps J.R.O.T.C. program
of Harrison high school went to Camp Rotary. Our daily
schedule consist of waking up at 6:30 A.M (06:30) going for a
2mi run, back to the barracks and getting ready for breakfast
chow. After breakfast chow we would go to the low copes which
consists of team work and our personal strength. We would then
enjoy noon chow in the chow hall. Some of the actives that we
participated in were repelling off a 40 foot tower, an
obstacle course in the air that finished with a zip line.
After Evening Chow we would play ultimate Frisbee or Soccer.
The evening was finished with a good movie with great friends
and lights out at 10:00 pm (22:00)
A great time was had by all.

ROTC Sponsors Student of the Month Plaque
The Harrison High School Marine Corps JROTC program is
sponsoring a plaque for Students of the Month. The wood,
plaque, metal plates and graphics have been bought by
the JROTC program through our fundraising funds. A
special Thank You goes out to Mr. Wood and his students
in Wood Shop who helped make the plaques and made it
possible for JROTC to sponsor the Student of the Month
Program. The Student of the Month plaque is in the
display case outside the auditorium. Every month when
new students are selected their names will go on a new
plate with the month they were selected. When the plaque
becomes full with the year's Student's of the Month the
plaque will be moved to the to the display case next to
the current year plaque. The JROTC is very proud of
there involvement with the student of the month program
and plan to support this for years to come. Please come

| On the 7th day
of November, 2008, the Harrison High School Marine Corps
JROTC held the Marine Corps ball in the drama room at
the High School. The ball was held to celebrate the
233rd Birthday of the Marine Corps. There was a social
hour that lasted from 5:30 to 6 o’clock p.m. where
people were free to talk to each other and look at the
decorations that some of the cadets set up before hand.
After the social hour was
finished, the Birthday ceremony began with a color guard
and a cake detail. N. Avery, C. Dorman, D. Sexton and M.
Reynolds were the Cadets who proceeded in the color
guard to present the Colors for the National Anthem. A.
Dorman, T. Falin, J. Sperry, T. Allen and A. Bower were
the Cadets who guided the Birthday cake in front of
Major Keith Spurlock USMC (retired) and Former Corporal
John Smith who was the guest of honor that night. After
the color guard and cake detail had done what they had
to do, Mr. Smith took some time to tell everyone about
his experiences in the Marine Corps, Korean War and the
influence it has had on his life. He was very proud to
be the guest of honor for our Birthday Ball.
After everyone had settled
down, supper was served, and at 7:30 everyone had the
chance to dance and have a little fun before making
their trips home. A great time was had by all.
