Under the able guidance of their leaders, these pioneers have found their seven cities. lieforc venturing over the waste the battalion chose through election those who were to lead them. After careful consideration the adventurers chose those three whom they knew to be the most capable among them. The elections outcome was the selection of Kenneth Ball, presidentg Bob johnson, vice-president: and .leanne Gallagher, secretary. ln the latter part of january, the battalion sighted an oasis and took a much needed rest. lt celebrated Christmas by a mass followed by much merry-making. ltushing on again, the battalion met its first major engagement-mid-year ex- ams. Many of the less sturdy fell in the encounter, but most of the company of hardy fighters lived to continue their search for the seven cities of Cibola. Chief among the amusements the members of the battalion enjoyed, were the numerous friendly engagements with bands of indians. .Xt first, football was the major attraction, then basketball, and lastly baseball, track, and tennis. Coronado's men gave a good account of themselves in all cases and were en- thusiastically cheered not only by members of the hrst battalion but by the other two as well.
