Southwest High School, 1929, R. O. T. C. Sponsors

Possibly the greatest honor that a high school girl may achieve is that of R. O. T. C. sponsor major. She is selected from all of the girls of the senior class.

The cadets nominate twenty or more girls, who are then passed on by the office, character and scholastic ability being considered. The remaining girls are again brought before the cadets, who elevt five to be given the rank of sponsor lieutenants. The faculty elect three of these five to be promoted to the rank of sponsor captains, and the senior girls elect from these three the sponsor major.
