Five Schreiner Institute Military Sponsors carry on the tradition begun in 1928. Sponsors were chosen by each company of cadets at Schreiner Institute and marched with the company for drills, inspections and parades. “Evidently the program was met with enthusiasm because the tradition continued until 1971.“ - Cathy Henry
