- X5 THE SECOND REGIMENT By LIEUTENANT-CoLoNEL JAMES B. EDMUNDS, JR., H. S. C. HE Second Regiment formed at the begin- ning of the year with nine companies, the largest regiment in the brigade. Though all the companies were not full, the vacancies were expected to be Hlled in February. In Feb- ruary the officers started a campaign for new men by having a cadet assembly and making a round of all the rookie sections, as a group. With the non-reappointment of the army of- ficers as military instructors, the cadets were at considerable disadvantage. Naturally, the re- sponsibility for the conduct of the Second Reg- iment fell on Mr. French, faculty military in- structor and chairman of the military commit- tee. Through his consistent and untiring ef- forts toge.ther with the aid of the ollicers, the loss of the regular instructors has been largely counteracted. In the honor guard competition at Tech three competitions were necessary to declare Company E winner over Company A. In the inspections among the various schools to determine the guard of honor for the presentation of com- missions and the Annual Competitive Drill, Company E, commanded by Captain William Wilson, was chosen the winner. In the series of War games, eight contests were necessary to complete the elimination by which Company A, commanded by Captain Robert McRae, was declared the Winner. Company A competed in the brigade finals at Franklin School and emerged victorious. The Second Regiment appreciates the cooper- ation given by Mr. Daniel and the military committee and looks with hope to the remaining competitions to reward the Work done through- out the year.

HE Second Battalion is composed of Com- panies D, E, and P. Up to this time, it has had its share of honors.

So much for the honor the Battalion has al- Fifty-one ready received. Our most important Work is ahead of us. The whole Battalion Worked hard and cooperated splendidly in practicing for the Battalion Drill. Captains Davenport, Wilson. and Herz deserve a great deal of credit for the Work they have been doing throughout the year. I feel certain that they will bring further honor, both to the Battalion, and to the School.
