Headed by Cadet Colonel Richard Schubert, Howe's ROTC Corps is one of the finest in the city. The Corps has won for itself and Howe many honors. The Reserve Officers Training Corp, the Girls' Drill Team, and the Howe Band marched in the annual Veteran's Day Parade and received third place out of all city schools. Again in the spring the Corps, the Girls' Drill Team and the Band came together tor Fed- eral Inspection. Many honors were awarded to outstanding cadets. Three new iunior sponsors were elected to assist the three senior sponsors. These girls had to have a high scholastic average to be considered. Girls were nominated for positions after writing a theme stating why they would like to be an ROTC Sponsor. The tinal choices were made by the cadets themselves. Money tor decorations, invitations, refreshments, entertainment and door prizes for the Military Ball was earned by having after- game dances during basketball season. At other school functions, cadets sold refreshments and checked coats to earn money. The Cadet Sponsors were candidates for Queen of the Military Ball. Sergeant First Class Bascom Perdue was the instructor tor Howe's ROTC sponsors and cadets. He worked hard with all the othcers to help better the corps.

They are in part responsible for weekly inspection, for the men they command and also for each other. ROTC teaches the boys who enroll a sense of responsibility and qualities of leadership. Members of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, the band, maiorettes and drill teams must practice long hours before they are ready to undergo the annual Federal Inspection, the highlight of the military year.
