Show 125 REGISTER IN OFFICERS' SCHOOL The cadets of South High's R. O. T. C. battalion are getting down to the basic fundamentals of marching. The seniors are taking turns drilling their platoons, thus giving themselves the chance to see and feel just what being an officer will mean. Approximately 125 boys from 500 R. 0. T. C. enrollees are registered regis-tered in Sergeant McNair's officers school. This school is conducted by the "left over'' officers of last year, and its purpose is to train the seniors to become officers. At the end of the course a test will be given that determines the officers for the coming year. Due to the war conditions, there won't be any rifles to drill with. But Sergeant McNair is attempting attempt-ing to make the lives of "his soldiers" sol-diers" more enjoyable, by giving them the things that will always help them. 1. He hopes to instill in their hearts a word that goes in any condition, and that is discipline. dis-cipline. 2. Because of the war, he is going to build up the "rookies" stamina. This is to be accomplished by marching, extended order, and the pet of all, calensthentics. Great things are again expected of South's uniformed men, for they have an honor rating to win for their efforts. |
