X R. 0. T. C. Gains Honors hlunior Service Club in Action Nordstrum Service Club The Nordstrum Service Club had a very successful season, under the leadership of Pauline Spiece and the president. Ray Clift. Mr. Brown, Mr. Ryan, and M rs. Charles are the sponsors this year. They have helped to make this year's junior Service Club the best that it has ever been. The main item of the year was the adoption of a constitution. that provides all the articles and by- laws governing the organization. lt was written by Ray Clift and john Ziegler. Many committees pro- vided the club with interest. :X scholarship commit- tee was appointed: Joe Sappo acted as chairman. while Hazel Fletcher and Fred lXlorgan were assist- ants. Their duty was to look up all the marks of the members and to see that every member had good enough marks to be eligible for membership. Hazel Streiber, chairman, and her helpers, Charles Chene. Lloyd Nauenbuer. and Irene Gulyas were chosen for the visitors' committee. Their duty was to see that there was a visitor present at every meeting. Ray Clift and Helen Gardner took charge of pub- licity. They had to announce at each meeting the important events going on in school, such as games. club meetings, and parties. Another very important matter that was taken care of by the Service Club was clearing the halls of Nordstrum at the end of the seventh hour. Any Nordstrum student not out of the building on time. or without a regular permit, was taken to the office by the hall guard. The officers of the Service Club are: President. Service Club Rec The co-operation extended by the students of Southwestern has been the keynote of success for the Service Club. For the first time in the history of the school. the The Southwestern Reserve Officers Training Corps, better known as the R. O. T. C., consists of ninety- four members. Several second and third-year men have been promoted this spring to higher ranks. Albert Kish, formerly captain of the Southwestern R. O. T. S., was elected major of the third battalion, composed of three schools-Northwestern, NVestern. and Southwestern. Among other promotions to higher rank, Robert Harcourt has been elected cap- tain of the Southwestern unit, Emerson Lake, lirst lieutenant: XYalter Everingham, second lieutenantg and Roy Lockman, first sergeant. The R. O. T. C. conducted a review of the third battalion at Belle Isle on May 11. The Southwestern unit was inspected by officials from the United States .Xrmy on Tlmrsday morning. May 16. General knowledge of military tactics was considered by the ofhcials in judging the unit. Formations were held every Thursday morning during the semester at 7:15 o'clock, under the direc- tion oi Lieutenant Yeager. Early in the year. the boys began training by practicing the facings and the manual of arms. They studied the rise and the com- ponent parts of a ritie. and prepared for weekly in- spections by Colonel Young. On May 15, Colonel .Xnderson of the U. S. .Xrmy made a general inspec- tion. The R. O. T. C. held its annual held meet in June at Navin lfield. R. 0. T. C.

There have been few re- ports of misconduct by the students in the halls during the past year and Southwestern is proud of the record. This proves the capability of the students to care for themselves. Another feature of the club is the ushering at 'll the events in the audi- torium. Th members will usher for the seniors at Commencement at City College. With great pleasure and with all sincerity Lieutenant Yeager takes this opportunity to thank all the students of Southwestern and the members of i the club who have contributed to the Soullueestern Service Club Page Thirty-two success of the Service Club.
