Show DeLange, Black, Reimers, Young, Ryser, Read, Raybould CADET OFFICERS npHE main difference between a well organized and a poorly organized regiment is shown in -"¦ whether or not the men are led by efficient, thoroughly trained leaders who can command the respect and admiration of the cadets. A spirit of co-operation between the men in ranks and their superior officers is essential to the success of an R. 0. T. C. unit. The University of Utah Military Science Department has been extremely fortunate in being able to place in such responsible positions, men of such high calibre as the student Commissioned Officers of the last year. Onlv those students of high standing, both physically and scholastically, can ever hope to qualify as high ranking officers of the regiment. The experience and training of the cadet officers is not limited to military activity. Many of the students are prominent in other campus affairs. There are over seventy-five Utah students in the pay of the United States Government as Cadet Commissioned Officers of the Senior R. O. T. C. artillery unit at the University of Utah. The regimental staff consisted of Cadet Colonel Young; Cadet Lieut. Col. D. Kenneth Reimers; Cadet Capt. Raymond Read, Regimental Adjutant; Cadet Capt. Clarence E. Raybould, Regimental Plans and Training; and Capt. George W. Dauncey, Laison Officer. The First Battalion staff was composed of Cadet Major Zenos Black and Cadet Captain and Battalion Adjutant Owen De Lange, while the Second Battalion had for its staff Cadet Major George K. Ryser and Cadet Capt. Rudolph K. Redmond, Adjutant. Much of the work connected with the Military Prom, the Annual Inspection, the Gymkana, or mounted athletic contests and horse show after the drill, and the training and experience they receive in their two years of advance R. O. T. C. work will prove invaluable to them in later years. Col. Frank Young Page 181 |
