Ronmsox DAY PIORTON CAPTAIN RICHARD R. DAY Captain Day's four years in Oak Cliff High School have brought about a tre- mendous change in the efficiency of our batallion that has never before been equalled. He, being a man of strong character and high ideals, has set a fine example for every cadet to follow. His very aggressiveness has brought about the inauguration of high standards for his cadet officers and men. Out of four competitive drills, he has won two city cham- pionships and the only State Competitive Contest. The rifle teams under him have, this year, won over the city schools twice, placed among the first four in the Eighth Corps Area and arc now competing in the National Intercollegiate Championship Meet of the U. S. All in all, Captain Day's record speaks for the man. He is a very capable man and by his big-heartedness and fair dealings has won himself a place in every O. C. cadetls heart. MAJOR DAVE ROBINSON Dave, 'four most military manf' has ever set his heart to the upbuilding of our batal- lion. He reached his ambition when he saw the O. C. Corps placed above every other batallion in the city to win the American Legion Batallion Efficiency Cup. Dave started his career by introducing the guard system in O. C. when he was a 2nd Lieutenant. He placed in four competitive drill companies, 'being commander of one City Competitive Company and the State Drill Company. By placing in two Wozencraft Drill teams, he again showed his spirit and desire to do something for O. C. He showed his metal all the way along as he advanced from private to major and by his fair dealings and earnestness in work, made many friends among the cadets and students generally. MAJOR CLAUDE HORTON We all admire a man that can fill his own shoes. For that reason we admire our present Major, Claude Horton. We admire and respect a man that is clean, honorable, and a hard worker, and our Major measures up to more than just these qualities. All who know Major Horton realize that he has attained his rank only by his steady and untiring efforts for advancement. His record is an enviable one, having been in three crack companies, twice in the Wozencraft drill, placed three times on the rifle team, won efficient company commander medal, won sabre knot through efficiency as Battalion commander, and has been on the honor court for two years. The Battalion, under the leadership of Major Horton, has won honors, and the school is nationally known through its cadet organization. The Majorls junior ofhcers and cadets in the Battalion will never forget their good Major and only hope that the school in the future may be as fortunate in having as well qualified Major as they now have.
