Captain Shreve's ROTC has spent all year preparing for today. The Annual Federill Evaluation is being conducted Monday by a team ot Army Inspectors. The Evaluators w ill rate the school on a national basis. Our ROTC hopes to earn the rating, " Honor Unit with Distinction."
The ROTC, under the command of Lt. Col. Woody Childress, will form a Battalion and march to the stadium parking lot where inspection will take place. Inspection will be held in the gym if the weather is inclement. Although all cadets are involved in inspection, it is only a small part of the over-all evalvation.
SHERRIE CROW, JIM REEVES AND BETH ROBY attended a program sponsored by the LSU Alumni Federation March 1 and 2. All three were awarded scholarships renewable for four years of undergraduate work.
The Evaluation also covers things such as: weapons security, supply records, personnel records, equipment maintenance and extra-curr icular ac1ivit ies. Evaluation is very detailed and the inspectors know exactly what they nre looking for.
Each cadet has gone through many hours of marching and

Debaters bring honors to Shreve
December 14, 1973, will probably be remembered as the most important date in Captain Shrev's history. The Gators became state football champions.
Since that date, the team has been saluted by legislators, busin~en, students and coaches statev.·ide.
Although it is the most publicized the football tearn 1s not the only team at Captain Shreve that has made out· standing accomplishments this year. The Captain Shreve Debate Team, although little-applauded, has done outstandingly well.
Debate team placed second in overall points at Louisiana Tech Forensic Tournament with over 20 schools participating.
Debaters placed Second in overall sweepstakes points at the Demon Foren'S'ics Tournament at Northwestern State University. They took their third tournament win at the Byrd Forensic Tournament.
The Enterprise Staff feels that the debate team and Mr. J ack Bogan should be recognized for their outstanding performance, and for their contribution to Captain Shreve-.

Shoplifting crackdown announced
by James DeBouse "Don't Get Caught Up In The
Crackdown", is lhe name applied to the anti-shoplifting campaign spearheaded by the Retail Merchants Council of the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce
The campaign has been widely publicized through billboards radio and television advertisements, and on the doors of leading retail outlets in town. The message being expressed is that f;hoplift.ing is a crime - a crime we need to take senously.
According to Mandel Selber, Jr ., president of !he Retail Merchants Division of ltle Chamber "We are not seeking to curb the profess1onal shoplifter. We're aftef t>he 'amate\Jrs' - the housewives and teenagers." Many of those who shoplift do so .because they mistakenly believe th-at !he retailers will not prosecute them if they are caught.
..Retailers have agreed, though that since shoplifting costs them about three million dollars in Shreveport - Bossier in 1972 or $66.66 for every fomily, the crime has reached proportions wtlere pros!'lcvtion is necessary. The program describes whilt the results of apprehension and conviction can mean to a shoplifter, witt. the hope of persauding 'amateurs' not to take the risk.
Shoplifters are treated like any other crimin<~l suspect. They are usually handcuffed, taken to the police st-ation, booked, fingerprinted, photographed, and subjected to posting bail or beffig held in jail. Other than this unpleasant experience of being arrested for shoplifting, there is an impact on the family and friends of the offenders. There's also the possibelity of a permanent police record.
In the 79 Juvenile Court c-ases of 1973, t>here were 48 convict ions with the average fine being $25 with six months probation. City Court cases numbered 183 wit.h 83 convictions in 1973. Aver-age sentences have been $118 fines, and/or a one year probation.
Shoplifting can c-ause a person problems, mentally, socially and financially. In an actu~l court case, total merchandise shoplifted tota4ed $.50, and brought a $118 fine; $.79 brought one shopltfter a one year probation; and in another case, a total theft of $6.34 sent the shoplifter to j-ail for six months ..
ll10ugh one may think the Jaws are too strict or too lenient in this crackdown, no one can afford its consequences

ri\lTC helps develop leadership The ENTERPRISE is edited and circulated monthly, excep t
during January, by students of Captain Shreve High School at 6115 East Kings Highway, Shreveport, Louisiana. Cost per issue is 2 0 cents.
by Stephanie -shelby Some students at Captain
Shreve th in k that ROTC students are a group of kids playing Army. But, playing isn't the· main purpose of the organizatic•n. The purpose of the JROTC p1·ogram is to develop leaders of tomorrow, and to teaoh It! em to be responsible young men and women.
The first step in learning to be a leader is to have respect. Without respect for the rights of others, no one can be cr leader. No man or woman wantrs to feel. inferior. and no one •.vants to be embarrassed in frornt of his friends. A person doe~. his best work when the lead1:!f makes him feel comfortable c1nd confident.
Another important tl ·ai t that a l~ader must possess is patience. He cannot be m sue~ 1 a hurry that ha f the students don't un-
derstand what he is teaching. He must explain the subject to them and show why it is important. Next, he must let the student put what he has learned into action. People learn more by doing than by stltmg in a classroom hearing lectures.
Army ROTC also leache.s ~ student how to speak to a group. Some people are too shy to gel before a large group and speak on a simple topic. A good leader must be able to speak without being nervous. In class, sometimes l·he teacher might call on a student to speak on any subject that he wOttld like to discuss. Another student might be assigned a topic to develop and present to the class. The student start-s off slowly, and works his way up. Soon he will be able to speak whenever he is called on. A good leader is ready at all t1mes; he "ex-
pects the unexpected." All these qualities and more
are taught in JROTC. They all play an important part in helping make good leaders. Students learn and have fun wtlile they're learning. If you sl>ill lhink that JROTC is a group of students playing Army, take another rook.

The Parsley Shortage by Daryl Owen
In these days ot cnttcal short· ages, one ot rne most 1mpor~ant and least appreciated shortages 1s that ot parsley. Yes, tor years Amencans have been cafelessly squanaer 1ng Pel• ~ ley cHIU "v" musr pay 1ne consequences. Already 1 estaurants and cafes have lim•ted the decoration of plates w.rh the American trademark of tme foods, parsley.
The reasons for the parsley shortage are many. First, there is the abuse of parsley by the American consumer. Many Americans have negligently sp11led mashed potatoes English peas and steak sauce on this par sley. This proh1b1ts the reuse of parsley, a common practice among restaurant owners. SeSecond, there IS the Albanian parsley cutoff. Albania, the world's leading cu ltivator of par sley, has ceased all parsley exports. Alban1an scientists have developed a system for recycling parsley into brussel sprouts, and everyone knows how Albantans love brussel sprouts. And finally, there is t.he fact that Americans have not tapped the great Alaskan parsley fields. This 1s because ecologists tell us that to harvest l'his parsley wovld ruin all Alaskan golf courses.
Few Americans have seemed to take the parsley shortage into serious consideration. There are several reasons for this. Because of the gasol~ne shortage, there is less gas to drive to restaurants. Also, because of the limired supplies of bread and meal, there is less food to eat with parsley. But Americans are not doing any1hing about the parsley s'horrege. Already the use of parsley has been banned on Sunday. Possible parsley rationing is being considered. An alternative to parsley is being searched for. Making artificial parsley out of wood is out of the question due to the additional fire hazards at a candlelight dinner. Plastic parsley has been proposed, but becavse of the oil shcrtage, plastics are in too limited a supply. Qvite obviously,

ZALES JIWIUIII
g •ven her, sat mot1onless on the dresser. She looked at the poste~s on the wall and the mobiles hang1ng from the cedmg and thought of lhe days she sat in her room with complete silence to get away from the confusion of the outs1de wor:d. Sally enjoyed moments of privacy. Suddenly Salty heard her mo~her came down tre hall and say, "Sal:y, hurry hurry up, it is almost time to go" Sally answered with the usual "Yes mam." When Sa!ly put the last pair of shoes in her suitcase she knew it was l1me to go.
For rhe last few months she fhld been wa1ting so eagerly for this mcment but now that it was here she wished it would go away. She knew she would miss her mother, father and Ralph very much. She would also miss the security of living at home and depending on her Mom and Dad Now was the time for Sally to start making her own decisions. As she picked up her suitcase and walked toward the door tears filled her eyes. She took a last glance at the room and cbsed the door behind her, She heard the horn honk and hurried down the stairs while her dad was yelling, "Hurry, Sally, we are running late!" Wilen she go! in the car it was quiet. Everyone seemed to be thinking how hard it was going to be to sa ygood-bye.
It woas gomg to be a long trip. Cn the way Sally wondered if it would be hard for her to make friends. She was the shy type until you got to know her. As s.he began to fall asleep thoughts of college left her mind. She woke up when they arf'ived at the colleoe. Her mom and dad helped her with the ~uggage and said good-bye. Sally stood on the sidewalk and waved good-bye until the car was out of sight. Sally turned and started walking toward the main office. When she got to the door s.he said "Good-bye mcm ;ond dad," "Hello new wcrld."
An Hour in Court 'Well, son, how was school
today?" "Gee, dad, we get a first
hand look at the judicial system of the country today m American Go·1ernment class."
"041, really? How did that come about?"
"We took a field trip to City Hall to sit in on the public hear-
mgs. It was qu•te mteresting. We saw three tnals in the hour we were there. The judge was an expressiOnless - looking fellow fho seemed to be 1n a rea l hurry to get things moving. So, the f1rst case was qUick I y called in,
"In thef• rst tnal, some guy guy named Tony Maf1oso was accused of attemptmg to bnbe a police officer. The Judge kinda laughed nervously and sa1d that there must be some mistake ~ike he was apolog izing to Mr. Mafioso. Then he said something about the 'va lidity of the pol iceman's accusation' being 'questionable' and Mafioso was let off and free to go.
" I was proud of the way the Judge straightened thmgs out like that.
"After a twenty minute recess, the second trial was brought on. It was a murder case invol·ting a suspect who was accused of shooting a woman in a hotel lobby. The suspect was an ugly-looking man abo\Jt seven feet tall, with a completely bald head, a horrible scar on his cheek, and he only had one arm and one leg. The guy who brought the charges against the bald man -he's called the prmecutor - said that last week, twenty important witnesses were sure they could identify the bald man as the killer. But today, all the witnesses ·couldn't remember what the bald man looked like. They just weren't sure, I guess. Anyway, the Judge got mad because this trial could go on for months without solid witnesses. So he asked the bald man if he would plead guilty to jaywalking, since that's w'hat the bald man was dC'ing when he was caughtjaywalking across the street after leaving the motel.
"The bald man was a good sport and happily admitted to jaywalk•ng He was fined five dol lars and the case was dismissed. I'm glad to know that honest citizens can think thmgs over before they accuse an innocent man of murder.
"After another twenty minute recess, the final case began. It involved assault and battery. The Judge was told that thh old man was badly beaten and robbed by a young, husky fellow. The old man had to be brought in in a wheelchair. He was in a cast from head to toe. When the Judge found out that the old man had been walkir>g throL'gh

"luckily, tha t clever Judge was smart enough to see the rea l crime m this case and, as a result, justice was done!"
"My, my, that was quite an experience you had today, son. And no one on say that these Men of Justice aren't doing their jon~. now can they?"
"No sir, a11d il's true when you hear those immortal' words, 'Crime does not pay! ' "
Being Natural By Beverly Jopl ing
In today's society, the latest style or fad is being "natvral". Accordingly, there are two ways to be natural: You wear natura l make-up, and / or you eat natural foods.
To begin with, the natural look can only b eachieved by wearing $30 worth of make-up For example, read the following add: "Pamper your skin, protect it too wilr. down-totearth moisturizer . Contains real cactus extract plus vitamins A and E. From Arizona Natural Resources. Six ounces only $5."
Furthermore it seems that, as long as there is one drop of lemon oil or herbal essence in a product, it becomes "natural". Indeed, one of my friends cannot use a certain shampoo (which promises to leave your hair "smelling like the first day of spring") because this shampoo g ives her hay fever.
In a similar vein, another ad states that "Wheat germ and cocoanut oil team up in a cream fhat refreshes naturally." However, I have one question: Do you drink it, wear it or pour it on your cerea l And nowadays there's lemon in everything except lemonade.
Secondly, the next side of naturalness is the use of natural foods. Natural foods are those "Grown without the aid of art ificial chemicals or fertilizers." And in a grocery store full of articifia l people, flavors and nutrition, natural foods stand out, especia lly their price. Now, naturla foods allegedly have no added flavors, viN!mins or preservants. So, those buying natural foods must pay more for food which has no guaranteed amount of the necessary vitamins, and spoils muc'h quicker.
Therefore, suggest going back to being truly natu;al. Thus, the natural liik in make-up would be no make-up at all, and natural foods would be foods grown at home, naturally.

McDaniel has high hopes by Kim Wallace
Wa K g nrough rhe halls from 8:45 to 1 2:15 could be the future Wnnbledon tennas champ ion.
Kay McOantel leaves school at 12: aS, h;,s unch, begins her 3 hour worr:out from 1: 15 to 4:30 eats supper and does her homework, then returns to the tennis courts lor more practice, from 7:30 to 9 30. On the average, Kay prac1 ces 300 days a year, weanng out a oaar of tennis sf)oes every 3 weeks.
"I have been playing tennis 4! years and have had my own coach for all but 2 months of this time, yet I still am nervous before tournaments," says Kay. Her air of self<onfidence leads you to thank quite the opposite.
In Kay's living room trophy case are 99 trophies, results of Kay's 4~ years of hard work at
tennts. The other members of her family are also athleti~ and have 1 0 tro~es among them
To name a few of Kay's tttles, she is Number One 16 year Old Doubles Champaon n Louisiana Number Two an Louts ana H-gh Scnool Girls' Singles, Number Four in the- South (Includes 1 0 states), and Number Twelve in the Nation in Doubles, Her doubles' partner is Jennifer Tuero from New Orleans.
"My forehand strokes used to be my only put-away shots; my backhand, I only tried getting over. Now, I make winning backhand shots as well as forehand, "5ays Kay, "I am trying to be a more aggressive player to serve the ball, then rush the net." In practice Kay sometimes places a quarter 'in the opposite court to aim at to increase her precision.
