ROTC At the beginning of the school year the Reserve Officers' Training Corps forms its classes into companies. The seniors are the commissioned officers, the juniors the noncommissioned officers, and the sopho- mores fill the ranks. The Officers' Club is formed and sets up the ROTC calendar. The Rifle Team forms and begins practice, while a club is organized by the Drill Platoon. The first eight weeks are spent in teaching fundamentals of drill to the sophomores, with two special days set aside for actual drilling. During this period Mr. Berry is honored by the corps, and awards are presented to outstanding students by him. This is the one time the complete battalion gets together. During the year monthly inspections are conducted to teach cadets the im- portance of personal neatness. Awards are given at these inspections and the cadet that receives the most honors is presented with a semester ribbon. ROTC instructional stall. Captain Robert L. Eaton, Master Sergoant James A. Bergman, Sergeant First Class Guy G. Jensen, and Sergeant First Class Chester Foe. 28
