A Color Guard provided by the Westside High School Junior Air Force ROTC unit appeared at the Friday night Welcome Dinner for the District Convention in Jonesboro. Unfortunately, this may be one of its last appearances. The program has been discontinued at the school because of the lack of a teacher.
