| Transcript | r. o.t,c. LIEUTENANT COLONEL GUS E. LEHMAN, QMC Professor of Military Science and Tactics LIEUTENANT COLONEL MOODY E. LAYFIELD, JR., QMC Commandant of Cadets The University of Houston's Army ROTC was activated July 1, 1948, and classes officially opened with the beginning of the Fall semester of the 1948-49 school year. From an initial enrollment of 171 the Corps has grown steadily to an all-time high of 827 which was reached in the school year 1952-53. The Corps is organized as a training regiment consisting of Regimental Headquarters, three Battalions, nine Training Companies, a Regimental Band Company, and the Cullen Rifle Drill Team. Houston's Army ROTC is an all-Quartermaster unit and the four years of training culminates with a commission of second lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps Reserve. However, cadets desiring commissions in other branches of the service may request such commissions. Distinguished Military Students are nominated for commissions in the Regular Army Quartermaster Corps. The University of Houston has commissioned 13 graduates in this category. The Cadet Officers Association presents the Military Ball each December. Highlighting this function is the crowning of the ROTC Sweetheart. 224 MAJOR JOHN V. STOECKER, QMC Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics |
