As you were, the low tone voice with that magnetic command was that of Lt. Loran Gilbert. The routine duties B nd the Lt. walks a young man, should- J wack, chin up, with two diamonds on each shoulder. Several salutes are returned as the two make their way through the crowded armory and into the adjoining othce. Lt. Gil- bert to the young man: Col. An- an officer take charge of sopho- take up the subject of first-aid. a platoon for physical drill and one skirmish. Have two men placed on flag duty. Send two men over to James Lick School to instruct the traffic boys. Ask for volunteers to usher at the dance tonight. That will be all. Yes, Sir, and with a salute, Col. Anze- lone is away with the grease that keeps the wheels of the R.O.T.C. on its very steady ride to awaken in the student an ap- preciation of the obligations of citizenship.
