rifle team-champions of i944 honor unit-this happened tive times reserve- training The R.O.T.C. unit at University High school has expanded with the growth of American participation in the war. The an- nual inspection, held May lO, this year, is the event toward which all the activities are pointed during the entire year. The purpose of the inspection, and of the complete train- ing, is to strive for excellence in tield exercises such as drill, manual ot arms, and physical trainingg to develop the abilities ot cadets to lead, give commands, and take orders, to in- spire confidence in boys under the cadet's command by setting an example of excellence in leadership, appearance, and willingness to cooperate, to think with speed and accuracy. Despite the fact that a change in command- ers has become a frequent occurrence in the past three years, the unit has had great suc- cess as an honor group. ln the tirst part of the spring semester, Major james R. Boyle, who commanded the unit tor more than a year, was retired. During this time a rifle team con- sisting ot Edgar Wellbaum, Bruce Gaston, Scott Stoddard, Russell Ellis, Fred Eastman, Tom Bess, and james Ball received the Blue Devil Competition Trophy tor which all Los Angeles high schools compete. The preceding year University also won the trophy. Last semester in an all-city R.O.T.C. rifle match, University's team placed a very close fourth company a-spring l945 56
