"The day is to give students an appreciation for liberty and freedom...They're not allowed to do certain things that they would normally do so they can learn to appreciate some of those little things that we sometimes take for . granted," said Maj. Richard Bense1 man, Northridge High School ROTC instructor. "This is not the first time we've done this and it's usually very successful. Enforcers can give students consequences to their actions if they disobey a or picking up rule like push-up- s garbage." Veterans Day began with two Northridge High School color stores guards at local and later 26 volunteers from Hill AFB including representatives from the 75th Security Forces, 75th Civil Engineering Squadron and 649th Munitions Squadron spent the morning Wal-Ma- rt and early afternoon as "enforcers."

Outside of the classroom they were not allowed to talk, loiter, eat unless they were in the lunchroom, sit or lay on floors or stairs, use vending machines or display affection ' like hand holding. Benseman said even the smallest freedoms may be missed when taken away from students for a few hours and he hopes the activity ensures students realize they live in a privileged country. Other "punishment" enacted by the performers included singing and performing Tm a Little Teapot" in front of peers, reciting "Little Miss Muffet" while running on toes and rapping while ballet dancing. "Students see what's going on in the hallways and watch," said Benseman. "Some will chuckle and laugh and walk away but most will get the idea that this is not just a game that this is serious because of the seriousness of the people from Hill." He said the activity is held every other year so it never becomes routine for students. A-:V&- ". t AA ' .jjyfets3 A'--' s - ' A!. ' ' 1 '' , " A -'- Ar"5 'Ir"SZX , s A J , , ' "nii "X AAA. A.
