It was nine in the morning, and the cadets of the NJ-761 Choir and Color guard made their way towards PHS. Their objective was to present the colors and sing the national anthem at a football game between Piscataway and Manalapan.

After school ended, various clubs as well as NJ-761 started to prepare for the scariest event of the year, Haunted High. Haunted High is an event the school hosts in order to raise money for a charity, which consists of different clubs erecting mazes in which they attempt to scare the visitors into voting for them.
It was two o'clock, and each club was in a frenzy to finish their room first. For the past couple of years though, the high school's AFJROTC has set the example by winning first place. This year would be no exception. The cadets quickly erected theirs and had plenty of time to focus on costumes, and place mouth watering treats at the end of the spooky maze. Once it was time for the event to start, the cadets had already finished their maze and costumes. Then it was just a matter of scaring the visitors. After the event ended, the cadets proceeded to commence their cleanup, turning their spooky maze back into a normal science classroom in under ten minutes. One final meeting was held where cadets discussed how the event went, and then proceeded to go home after an incredibly fun experience. After most of the kids in Piscataway High School boarded their buses for home, one group of cadets stayed behind. The cadets of the Kitty Hawk Honor Society had one task, which was to clean up the cemetery.
The graveyard belongs to the Fitzrandolph family, the people who sold their land to Piscataway Township so they could build a school on it. The graveyard is on the school property, right by the entrance of the senior parking lot. Some tombstones to this day are still readable, and hold an intriguing past. The cadets wasted no time, as they utilized bags to pick up any litter on the ground. Before they knew it, the graveyard was spotless. The cadets then headed back inside to resume their normal day. After school ended, cadets began to crowd the JROTC classroom, even though there wasn't any classes scheduled for that time. The cadets were waiting to experience the first Movie Night of their 2016-17 school year. A brief vote was cast on which movie to watch, then the cadets proceeded to head into the teachers lounge, where they would watch the movie they voted on. After some technical difficulties, the cadets who organized the event made a quick and decisive decision to switch movies, saving time, and the event. Once settled in, the cadets enjoyed the movie, while their food was being prepared. Finally after half the movie had been watched, the cadets were served various snacks from pizza to sweet confections. When the movie ended, the cadets sprung into action, cleaning the room, and rearranging seats to the way they were as to leave the lounge in a better condition they received it in. Before the cadets were dismissed, they gave the cadets who organized the event a big round of applause. |
