The Black and Gold 1976
The McKinley High School ROTC (Reserve Officers Training Corps) Program, established in 1922, was the first program of its kind in the territory of Hawaii.
Since then, it has been named an honor unit for the past 54 years. All this and more has been contributed by the outstanding work of the officers and cadets.
This 1975-1976 year, the 200th birthday of our nation, has added much color and espirit de corps to the activities of the ROTC program.
With the already formed SABRE AND CHAIN OFFICER'S CLUB, new clubs have emerged. They included the NCO Club, and the Drill Team Club. The ROTC clubs have been active in a great many community and school service projects; to name a few - the UNICEF project, Metropolitan Disaster Simulation. They have participated in ceremonies at the State Capitol and opened performances at the University of Hawaii Rainbow basketball games. The McKinley ROTC has also contributed much time and effort into school activities such as parking and many Honor Guard activities.
Annual activities for this year were the M-16 firing, Leaders Reaction Course, jungle training held at Schofield, the Alumni, Principal's and Commanding Officer's Parade, the awards ceremony and the Military Ball.
