The fostering of music appreciation was the goal of the club and to achieve this end, music of the masters was presented and discussed at the regular short meetings of the organization. Professor Oehler, the club's moderator, as a result of his relaxed teaching schedule, was able to tender more time to the organization and as a consequence, the club prospered. In addition to listening to the serious works of Bach, Beethoven, Wagner and others, the program presented at Christmas and Easter consisted of semi-classical and popular music appropriate to the occa- sion. Thus, a lighter side was interjected into the serious note usually prevailing. Since the Music Club functioned on an informal basis the elec- tion of the usual officers was dispensed With. Programming was held by Iohn Grill to suit the particular tastes of the individuals. The outstanding music presented along with the inspirational dis- cussions has indeed helped us to gain a better understanding of music, and thus, necessarily to realize the value music has for us.

The fly boys in their weekly dash to the drill field are 'a familiar Wednesday afternoon sight. In this outfit, punctuality is always preserved. A.F. R.O.T.C. history dates back to 1947. It was at this date that the Air Force became a separate branch of our Armed Forces. Previous to this, the Army R.O.T.C. was the only branch represented on the campus. At present the program is under the capable supervision of Colonel Raymond V. Schwanbeck, aided by numerous regular military personnel. The primary and basic function of the group is to graduate into the service qualified flying personnel.. To insure fulfillment, all cadets receive rigid mental and physical tests throughout'their four years' training. Each Week one period of R.O.T.C. is set aside for drill. This enables the students to become better acquainted with procedures of military courtesy and fundamentals of leadership, both major considerations in the training of a future officer. All students reaching the senior course are required to serve a six week summer training period between third and fourth year. This training period serves as the perfecting hand which enables fourth year cadets to assume complete administration of procedure with regards to the entire cadet wing. It is not difficult to show that the training period fulfills its purpose. The gratifying and sharply executed results are always obvious on Saint Patrickis Day and at the annual Demonstration Day awards. To the average eye, the program is a fundamental training of future officers. To one with a wider scope it is both an assurance and insurance of freedom and liberty from the threatening tentacles of world Communism. 238 ,. K ,fa 3 . Guardians of our country.
