C. unit, commanded by an able staff of cadet omcers, has just completed the most successful year in its history. The Unit is organized as a company under the command of Captain Carl Julstrom with Lieutenant Barton Hufton as his adjutant. The R. O. T. C., participating in the Squad, Sec- tion, Platoon, and Company competitions has made a most remarkable showing. This is directly due to the fact that most of the cadet officers have co- operated to the fullest extent with the instructor, Sergeant V. Ackerman, in the intensive campaign of instruction which he initiated at the beginning of this past semester. Each cadet officer is given a special department in which he must instruct the cadets. In this way the cadets receive more special- ized training, and as a result Bowen's R. O. T. C. stands among the highest in the city. Special at- tention has been paid to extended order drill and rifle marksmanship, which heretofore have not been required. Due to this thorough intensive training one of the cadet officers, Edwin Sawyer, has been appointed to the position of cadet Major on the Brigade Staff. The other oflicers are: Captains, C. julstrom, R. Chorley, C. Gentry, and G. Lorimer. First Lieu- tenants, B. Hufton, VU. Carlstedt, C. Bledsoe, I.. jessen: Second Lieutenants, C. Olson, Kolar, Leich- ner, Fettro, Wiedman, Dressler, Rowell, Halloran, Eberle. Page IIIIIEI1 nine
