The Farrington ROTC has been in existence since 1946, and it has seen many improvements. The purpose of the ROTC is not to turn out soldiers, but to build initiative and leadership in a cadet, both in civil and military life. Soldiering is secondary. A cadet in the ROTC will learn leadership, courtesy, neatness and, most of all, learn to become an intelligent citizen in his community. To climax the year, the department held the annual Military Ball at Maluhia, FortDeRussy. Itwas restricted to cadets of Farrington and the ir guests. x, X xy if ANI.

WM captain and E Captain James E. Edington HEADQUARTERS ROTC DETACHMENT FARRINGTCN HIGH SCHOOL HONOLULU, HAWAII March 4, 1953 SUBIECT: Reserve Officers Training Corps TO: The Editor Farrington High School Annual Farrington High School Honolulu, Hawaii After nearly seven years of ROTC here at Farrington it would seem appropriate to evaluate the worth of the program. We cannot hope even to begin to produce a trained soldier through ROTC, but hundreds of Farrington graduates have been better prepared to serve their country because of their ROTC training.. The efforthere is to smooth the transition from civilian to soldier by preliminary military training and exposure to a military discipline. For those who are not called upon to serve in the Armed Forces the principles of courtesy, leadership and respect for authority carry over to assist in making a better citizen. That the ROTC t:raining is beneficial has already been proved by the performance of for- mer Farringtonians in'standing up to the demands of the Korean conflict. ' ' ' ' th F r'n tongrad- W feel that in a troubled world needing stability, and cooperation, e ar 1 g e uate will continue to prove an intelligent and valuable member of society and can be counted on to do his part. 65- IAMES E.
