SJR’s Cadet Team entered the Charles French, Youth of the Empire, and Whitehead and O’Neill Trophy competitions. It was the Charles French Trophy as well as the O’Neill competition for the best Cadet Team in the province, our nearest com¬ petitor being 22 points behind. In winning the O’Neill Trophy, the team placed second in the Whitehead Trophy competition, against competing Army teams. Out of six med als awarded in the province for the best Cadet team shots, the SJR team won the four silver medals and one of the bronze. It was a year of unparalleled success in SJR’s Cadet Corps shooting history, and we can only hope to do well next year.

A.-. In place of a proper Cadet Ball this year, a formal dance was held at which no cadet uniforms were seen. The reason for this was that the Cameron Highlanders could not supply the corps with kilts in time for the ball. However, preparations and decorations went on as usual, and at 8:30 p.m. on April 23rd, 1965’s Cadet Ball (?) officially be¬ gan. Everyone who was present had a great time, particularly the boys, because ticket prices were down from last year, proceeds from numerous small dances during the year having gone to allay the costs of the ball. As a matter of fact, some money was left over and it was planned to put it towards the Gradu¬ ation Dance in May. All the same we hope to go back to our “uni¬ formed” ball next year. ft I 1 1 ill In : 1 mrl

This year was the fourth year that Judo has been offered as an option in Cadets. It was first organ¬ ized in the Upper School in 1961-62 and was last year instituted in the Lower School. The Ladies’ Guild has since then been kind enough to order proper rice mats to replace the gym mats which are in present use. Most of the present group has been doing Judo for the past three years, under the auspices of Tug Wilson of the Winnipeg Judo Club, and Pete Hammond and Bill Ramsay have attained orange belts. However, this year a limited number of cadet periods necessitated a limited number of Judo classes. Perhaps future plans will include a combined Upper and Lower School class where the juniors would have the benefit of the seniors’ experience. In closing, I would like to thank Mr. Wilson for his time and effort and wish him the best of luck both now and after his graduation from University. Back: Boult, Matthews, Roper, Fahlgren.
