O. T. C. unit in our school. This idea slowly formed into a resolution and was taken to Mr. Oliver for consider- ation. Mr. Oliver, and Major Neilson of the R. O. T. C., discussed the possibility of the idea, and soon the girls were given permission to enroll. The unit is composed of 137 cadets. There are seven platoons, each headed by a lieutenant. Each platoon leader is assisted by a second leader and a platoon guide. The uniforms consist of white skirts, white jackets fastened by red buttons, and white military caps, with the insignia of East on them, made like those of R. O. T. C. boys, The initial appearance of the group was made during the Iris Pageant this year when it paraded for the first time. r The leaders a e as follows: First Platoon , . LIEUTENANT VIRGINIA ALESSIO Second Platoon . . LIEUTENANT EVELYN ACREE Third Platoon, .. LIEUTENANT GENEVIEVE SANDERS Fourth Platoon . LIEUTENANT DORLENE HORNER Fifth Platoon. .. -LIEUTENANT JEAN HEWITT Sixth Platoon . . LIEUTENANT NANCY FELTS Seventh Platoon . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , , , . . ,LIEUTENANT GLYNN SPILLERS The purpose of the unit is to furnish something different for the girls and at the same time to improve posture, marching, and coordination.
