Gordon Riply, now replacing Captain Prond- zinski who was sent to Korea, our R.O.T.C., Reserve OfHcer's Training Corps, has risen to a new height in producing well trained graduates for military service. Yearly the R.O.'l'.C.'s in the Chicago area undergo a federal inspection in which their marching formations and theoretical knowledge are dem- onstrated before a reviewing l hoard. Practice trains puplis in office conduct and teaches them various other traits and abilities that are necessary to become successful in the business field. Selling, Advertising and Com- mercial Law are also offered. For the student who intends to work after graduation, a com- mercial course will eventually lead into a job which will earn a very satisfactory living for him. Captain Gordon M.
