WILLIAM M.. FISHER WELL REMEMER TI-IE NIGHT , said Mr. William Noble Fisher in speaking of the lirst Competitive Drill, of which he was the winning captain. The drill was held on the evening of May twenty-fifth, 1888, on the stage of the exhibi- tion hall of Old Central High School, located at Seventh and O Streets, Northwest, then Wash- ington's only high school. Four companies competed and the fact that they were all from the one school added to the spirit of rivalry. The order of the drill was not given out until three hours in advance of the competition. I was captain of Company A. Upon receiving the commands, I went into a study hall and committed them to memory. I was the only captain who had memorized the commands and I believe that was an advantage to Company A. The drill consisted only of the manual of arms. The foot movements were excluded, ow- One Hundred Thirty-three I I ing to the fact that the cadets drilled upon the stage. Despite this, I believe the drill was more diflicult than that of today, as an error was more easily detected from the stage. The entire school turned out for the event. The excitement of that first Competitive Drill was as intense as at those of today. My sweet- heart was there, cheering for me. Today she is Mrs. Fisher. The drill was hotly contested. Company A won by the narrow margin of two points. We were highly elated. The next evening we celebrated by attending in a body a performance at the Old National Theater. Mr. Fisher has retained his cadet spirit and has followed with friendly interest the rapid growth and development of the Washington Cadet Corps. His older Brother, W. W. Fisher,. was a member of the first cadet company, or- ganized in 1883.
