Henry W. Mabry, and under the able leadership of its Regimental Commanding Officer, Cadet Colonel Pat McKay, one of the greatest and most important organizations in Brackenridge, The United States Reserve Of- ficers' Training Corps, may indeed be proud ot the records established by it during this year. The R. O. T. C., whose importance was re-emphasized by the outbreak of the war, is unique in so far as it is not only a most instructive and highly valuable subject, but also provides most interesting opportunities of various nature for its members. Outstanding among the many occurrences of the year was the volunteering for the Ci- vilian Defense Corps of the entire Regiment, a fact which attracted the attention of out-of- town newspapers. Also, there are to be listed the Armistice and Army Day Parades, the re- view at which commissions were presented to the officers, the farewell review for Captain Mabry, and the annual Field Day, at which awards and presentations were made. Socially speaking, the Non-Com and Regimental Proms also deserve to be mentioned. -Herbert Iohn Spiro. Xu S- adam Pi Pa e 138
