-..r. East High Rifle Team Trains Marksmen Under the guidance of M!Sgt. Alton Selby, the rifle team entered competition with other high schools, and took part in the William Randolph Hearst match in which all Denver Public high schools competed. ln this match East's rifle team took second place. Although many people associated the East high rifle team with the Reserve Officers Training Corps program, membership on the team was actually open to any boy at East who was interested in firearms. The members of the rifle team concerned themselves with the handling and care of all firearms, they learned how to clean a gun, and most important, they learned the safest way to enjoy a rifle. HONORARY CADETS, left to right: Margaret Smith, Judy Solon, Linda Hilligas, Nancy Meredith, Babs Kinney, Judy Starbuck, Liney Place and Carole Rosno. 'sk

Honorary Cadets Originate Cwn Uniforms Which They Wear to School Each Monday For the first time in many years, the Hon- orary cadets had a uniform which they origi- noted. At the first of the year, four girls out of the forty-one who applied, were chosen Hon- orary cadets by officials in the school, includ- ing the principal, dean of girls, representatives from the R.O.T.C. program, the editors from both school publications and faculty members. These new Honorary cadets were: Bobs Kinney and Judy Starbuck, seniors, Liney Place and Carole Rosno, juniors. These girls, along with the members from last year, Nancy Meredith, Linda Hilligas, Judy Solan and Margaret Smith, started to think about a uniform, The result was an outfit which differed from the army WAC uniform, which the Honorary cadets of other high -schools wore. The uni- form which the East Honorary cadets origi- nated consisted of a white blouse, a light brown skirt and brown, low-heel pumps. Along with their new uniforms, these girls designed a membership pin which consisted of the R.O.T.C. insignia with a chain to a badge of office. Throughout the year, the Honorary cadets were on committees planning for the R.O.T.C. dance, Manhattan Moonlight, and they helped plan a party which the R.O.T.C. cadets had for orphans, Another activity in which these girls participated this year was the Memorial Day parade.
