Two St. Lawrence students participating in the ROTC program at Clarkson University recently took a ride in military helicopters, during an aircraft orientation day.

Kaitlyn Fahsel '11, of Watertown, NY, and Christopher Shineman '11, of Palatine Bridge, NY, took part in the event, which featured two Blackhawks and two Chinooks flying to the appropriately named Baghdad Field on Clarkson's campus. Participants received an orientation to the aircraft, safety briefs and flights around the Potsdam area.

Fahsel is a graduate of South Jefferson Central School and is a member of the women's soccer and lacrosse teams. Shineman is a graduate of Canajoharie Central School and is a member of the football team.
