Frankford High JROTC Tours Temple

On September 16th, cadets of the Frankford High School Pioneer Junior ROTC Battalion joined other JROTC cadets for an open house at Temple University hosted by the Red Diamond ROTC Battalion cadets.
We received a tour of the campus and the ROTC facilities. In addition we enjoyed a PowerPoint briefing by the cadets on what they do and the activities that they participated in during the year. We ended the session with a question and answer period.
Before we headed back to Frankford High School we were able to get this group shot of everyone.

Don’t Get It Twisted

DON’T GET IT TWISTED

Life can be sweet; life can be insane.
But Mama used to say, don’t never hook up with, a “Gambling Man.”
Because he’ll tell you that he loves you, he’ll tell you that he cares.
When you look around, he’s nowhere to be found.
Because he marches to a different drummer, he marches to a different plan.
Because he follows the games, everywhere.
The next thing you know, you’re in love with, a “Gambling Man.”
So, just look around, and you will see.
There is no future with loving, a “Gambling Man.”
He’ll leave you in a minute, he’ll leave you at the sound – of the dice rolling, cards shuffling, roulette wheel spinning, slot machines ringing.
He loves that crazy sound, cuz he’s, a “Gambling Man.”
So, don’t get it twisted, and you will see, there is no future in loving – a “Gambling Man.”

Most of All

MOST OF ALL

I have your picture hanging on the wall, there comes a time when I miss you – MOST OF ALL.
On cloudy days and rain starts to fall, that’s when I miss you – MOST OF ALL.
When the wind blows through the trees, birds and bees bow there heads in sympathy.
That’s when I miss you – MOST OF ALL.
There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t stop, and look at your picture, and gaze into those big brown eyes.
That’s when I miss you – MOST OF ALL.
On holidays when the sun refused to shine, that’s when I really miss you – MOST OF ALL.
