and important functions. ROTC students in their training sessions show how cadets respond to an order. R.O.T.C. The Army Junior ROTC of Pembroke H igh School was activated in September. It had a total enrollment of 84 students and was organized into two infantry companies of two platoons each. Every cadet was issued a uniform by the army. The unit is one of over 600 such high school units throughout the United States. The objectives of the Junior ROTC program are to develop good citizenship, self-reliance, leadership, and responsiveness to constituted authority. The cadets, guided by Colonel Alfred Montrone and Sergeant Major William Nichols, were taught basic military skills and an appreciation of the role of the U. S. Army. Although the student ' s participation in this Junior ROTC program does not obligate him for future military service, it will help him if he should decide to enroll in college, apply for one of the service academies, or enter military service.
