Enrollment of R.O.T.C. is 16f. of the total num- ber of boys enrolled at Howe. The pm-pose of R.O.T.C. is to prepare the cadets for their term in the armed forces after graduation. Cadet sponsors march with the unit at parades and Federal Inspection and conduct an inspec- tion of the corps on Thursday, at which time the cadets are required to dress out in full uniform. The six sponsors were screened by a faculty com- mittee, inspected by the student body, and chosen by the cadets of the corps. During the school year, the cadet corps worked at many functions to earn money for their sixth annual Military Ball, which was held in March. Honorary invitations were sent to President Ken- nedy, Governor Welsh, and Mayor Boswell. Cadet sponsors were candidates for Queen. On Federal Inspection Day, May 23, 1960, sev- eral outstanding cadets of the corps received awards for their excellent performances. At the Veterans ' Day Parade, the girls ' and boys ' drill teams placed first in the city competition. R.O.T.C. SPONSORS — Col. Midge Austin, Capt. Dotty Shake, 1st Lt. Sue Oswalt, 1st Lt.

How(e) Time Flies... as we smear on make-up for the Reveler ' s play or sit in tlie audience and clap until our palms ache. While we watch R.O.T.C. pass in review or help the Student Council pick up papers dur- ing tlie Clean-Up Campaign, time vanishes. We go to after-school club meetings and initiations, but our plans and projects are soon past, and we are making P.R.R. plans for the year to come. . . . ACTIVITIES
