I HEADQUARTERS, R. 0. T. C. G6 HE MISSION of the R. O. T. C. is to awaken in the student an appreciation of the obligations of citi- zenship, to prepare him to discharge his duties as a citizen, and to qualify him as a military leader. This is a tremendous undertaking and the R. O. T. C. acquits itself creditably. The inculcation of the principles and obligations of citizenship probably receives more attention than any other phase of the R. O. T. C.'s instruction. I do not believe that there is any young American, of age sufficient to be a member of an R. O. T. C. unit, but is beginning to think in terms of 'just what is American citizenship? The R. O. T. C. answers this question. Many people are under the impression that the R. O. T. C. deals with a citizen's duties only in event of a national emergency. Nothing could be more erroneous than this. Citizenship, as analyzed in the R. O. T. C., resolves itself into a study of the duties of the ordinary citizen in time of peace. If our system is to collapse and decline, it is the disregard of these common- place obligations which will precipitate the fall. R. O. T. C. concerns itself with disciplineg and what more is discipline than a phil- osophy of life? Any young man about to leave school with the thought that all criticism is censure, and respect and obedience to superiors, servility, will not find himself helped by such an attitude. It is shocking when one becomes aware that this is the attitude of some of our young men toward our American prerogative. Much of this can be traced to a mis- conception of what Americanism really is. If everyone understood that laws were made for the protection of the majority, there would be less difficulty in enforcing the lawg and there is no organization wherein one becomes so thoroughly aware of the rights of others as in an R. O. T. C-. unit. Drill exacts the highest type of teamwork. The fact that the standing of the unit is dependent upon the conduct of each individual strengthens all. In the R. O. T. C. a young man's health is the object of special attention. In case of a minor deformity or disorder his parents are apprised of that fact, so that a cor- rection may be effected. Cleanliness of body and dress is the object of special attention. Each Friday accouterments are inspected. Habits of personal cleanliness are encouraged. And still, I have not mentioned an item of incaculable valueg the comradeship among the fellows in an R. O. T. C. unit. Many friendships are formed in a unit which endure for life. There is a closeness, a camaraderie in the military which just isn't present in any other organization. Sergeant Wolff I 22 l

l 52-45-47! HIKE! A promising start was made by the Purple and White football squad with a 14-0 victory over Marion on our home field. In the second game of the season we were humbled by Bloomington 7-2. The follow- ing week Southport turned in a 27-0 victory at our ex- pense. Hank Bogue's boys drew out a 27-0 score from Shelbyville at their stadium at a night tilt. In the first city series game the Continental warriors traveled to the Shortridge field to lose a tight game, 7-0. The following week the squad hit their stride and humbled Sheridan 13-0. This seemed to encourage the boys, and they repeated their success the following week with a victory over Tech, in the tightest and most interesting game of the year, with a score 7-6 as the final gun sounded. The Continentals finished the season at the south side field with a 7-0 triumph over Manual. This series ended in a three way tie with Tech and Shortridge, and the City Championship was retained for the season. Three of our lads scored high honors on the all-city team. They were center, Harry Greeley, guard, Louis Luzar, a two-year all-city man, and fullback, Harry Cherry, making the '34 season his third time to be on a Purdue all-city team. Coach Rosasco's freshman football and basketball squads had enviable records, winning all of their football games and losing only two net encounters. We congratulate Coach Rosasco and his squads. may . uufnn unnfnufnll lmlnuf' un un: GET THAT tip-off! The Continental basketball team ended a fair season this year with an average of .50-Oi, in baseball language, by splitting even on the scheduled games, winning eight and losing eight. The purple and white lads lost to Plainfield, Mooresville, Southport, Danville, Ben Davis, Manual, and Cathedral, but retaliated with victories over Greenwood, Noblesville, and Brownsburg. In the city tournament Coach J ones's squad defeated Broad Ripple in the second round but were humbled by Tech in the finals. The Purple and White team drew the favorites, Tech, in the sectionals, and were eliminated 31-15 in the first round. Cherry, Continental forward, one of the all-city teams and Howard, center, made the all- sectional third team. The highest individual scoring honors went to Lafayette Hooser of the B team, who scored a total number of 104 points. nufnn nu nufuu unit un: . nn, .nufuuf THE REGULAR track season closed Friday, May 4, with a victory over Warren Centi al, May 5, Ben Davis, 22, Southport, 20, Washington, 73, April 14, Wiley, 46, Washington, 71, April 18, Frankfort, 243 Washington, 853 April 20, Sheridan, 193 Manual, EBM, Washington, 8316.
