Debby Young ROTC Queen Valentines Day lent its traditional at- mosphere to this year's ROTC Ball. The dance, preceded by a delicious dinner at the Colden Ox, was held at the Temple Binai jehudah, where Miss Debby Young, Southwestis queen, and the queens of the other high schools marched with their escorts beneath crossed sa- bres. Serving as attendants to the queen were Marcia Bordinan, lane Bushfield, Linda Myers, Indy Sackin, julie Shep- herd, and Andie VVilli21ITlS. All who at- tended the ball felt that it was indeed one of the social highlights of this school year.

The ROTC unit of 1958-59 has excelled in many ways. Southwest's rifle team placed sec- ond in the city meet. ln thc Rcdskin- Reucls the Honor Guard was commended for its precision drill. Later in the year, at the ROTC circus, the drill team performed and the cadets pre- sented an exciting wall-climbing act. XVith the emphasis on individual participation and physi- cal prowess, the Annual Field Day was held at Southwest. Individual inemhers of the hattalion also rc- ceived honors. Allen XVyly was appointed head of Division C-4 on the All-City Division Staff, and Kit VVashburn won first place in the City Rifle Meet. Southwest has every reason to he proud of its ROTC unit.
