12 R. M. C. REVIEW With the one great exception of the Vice-regal visit the past term has been singularly uneventful. The unusually mild winter and the absence of artificial ice at the College made our Hockey Team a little slower in getting under way. Towards the end of the season, however, they were giving an excellent account of themselves and won the International Hockey Match against West Point by the score of 3-1. The Basketball teams made slow but steady progress and the first team played for the first time in the senior league. In shooting we won the Inter-University Rifle Match. A Winter Sports Meet was, of course, out of the question this last winter. The early spring brought back soccer and tennis earlier than usual. Pk ik ,lf P14 The new Mess Building is at last under way and the foundation digging is providing work for a number of the unemployed encamped on the lower Barriefield Common. This unemployment relief camp is under the direction of the Commandant. Dk Pk :lf :lf The Library is slowly filling up mainly through the generous gifts of the EX-Cadet Branch Clubs, individual past and present cadets and other kind friends of the College, but there will always be room and welcome for more books. The very decorative regimental and college shields are also growing in numbers, but there again we hanker for more. They add very greatly to the charm and interest of the Library. 93 Pk Pls ,lf As usual this is the Graduating Number and we are both glad and sorry to publish the photographs of the Graduating Class. May we repeat to them the final words of the Governor-General's speech on the 6th of May to the Cadet Battalion, and wish them The best of good fortune and happiness in the future ?

C.Q.lVI.S. Ballard, C. A. Since the last issue of the Review, Ack has done well. We finished the football season by winning both the Inter-company and Inter-platoon Rugby and the flag came back. However, our rivals won the Inter- company Hockey 4-3 in a closely contested match and once again the flag crossed the Square. With the outcome of the Platoon Hockey, the Platoon Shoot, the Gymnastics and the Inter-company Basketball, we were again in the lead and the flag returned once more. As the year draws to a close, the score in the Inter-company standing is very close and the issue is yet to be decided. This is the first time for many years that the flag has crossed and recrossed the Square. The keenness and enthusiasm evinced in the com- petitions have been marked and have made the year a very interesting one. The excellent spirit that has been prevalent in all branches of work and sport has been most gratifying and if this spirit is maintained the Company will have nothing to worry about in years to come. The Seniors join me in thanking our Company Officers for their kind assistance and advice and all ranks for the splendid co-operation they have given us throughout the year. And as one of the best years in my life draws to a close, to those who will carry on in our places, I wish the best of luck and success in all their undertakings. J. D. B. SMITH.
