Cadet Inspection L!i It is sometimes amazing how the cadet corps can pull together and put on a spectacular in- spection, no matter how many errors the cadets have made in practices. This year, one platoon in particular was reprimanded for poor drill a mere two days before inspection, yet it had certainly come up to and in fact surpassed the standard of the other platoons when it was on parade before an audience, the Headmaster, and representatives of the Canadian Armed Forces. The weather was a mixed blessing; if it becomes too warm and sunny, the cadets sweat under their woollen uniforms profusely. This, however, was not a worry, for the morning was cold n n nil and rainy, and, by afternoon, it was just plain cold. The reviewing officer, Brigadier-General de Chastelain, the Commandant of the Royal Military College in Kingston, and his inspecting team, the Area Cadet Staff of the Canadian Forces Training System, did a thorough inspection of the ranks. After the inspection, the best cadets of each platoon did some very impressive manoeuvres in a drill competition. Major Dickens, the Commanding Officer of the corps, then armounced, without the aid of a pubUc address system, that the planned military exercise would be unable to take place because of the lack of blank ammunition. There were several ways to see all the activities on display at the inspection, and stopping fully to absorb each display is definitely not one of these ways: there are simply too many excellent presentations. Canoeing and sailing demon- strations were held at the lake, but the canoe-dumping and Scuba displays were done in the (much warmer) pool. At the Edible Plants display, there was a pot of hemlock tea brewing, and a display showing that clover and dandelion, the bane of any lawn, are quite edible and can save one ' s life. Boys were chopping and sawing wood, and there was a small shelter on view as an example of the shelters built at Northward

Bound by boys on solos. In the dining hall, one could learn about orienteering, see the interaction between Cadets and Environmental Recreology, and discover the internal workings of the Argus while enjoying refreshments. Outside the Dining Hall, first aiders used a mock accident complete writh blood from the Art Studio to show off their skills. In addition, there was a Band recital, a brief gymnastics display and a film showing the various aspects of life at Nor- thward Bound. The awards presentation followed. Brigadier-General de Chastelain presented Cadet Headley with the Glyn Gzowski Award for the best Cadet, and Sergeant Mathieson was awarded the E.G. Beardmore Trophy for the best Sergeant. The Royal Regiment of Canada Cup for the Best Platoon was presented to Powell ' s House Platoon by Major Iverson. The ceremony was closed by a few remarks on the Cadet program by Brigadier-General de Chastelain. This has been the second year that the Cadet program has been voluntary for the boys in grade eleven and above, and many parents have expressed regret that there is no longer the im- pressiveness of an entire Batallion on parade with a marching band. It is, however, equally impressive to see a smaller group of Cadets with rifles in excellent syn- chronization. Either way, the Cadet program provides a needed service at Appleby, and the Cadets deserve all the praise they get for their hard work. Bob MaxweU
