THE SHAD THE CRACK SQUAD Shattuck's 'ifar famed fancy drill squadv went through one of its more successful years this year under the direction of their captain, Cartie Schaub. The Squad made two trips and put on four drills on their home floor. On the first Sunday after school started, the eight old members of the Squad called for the first tryouts. Thirty-one reported with hopes of becoming members of this crack drill team. Then, every two weeks during the tryout period, a kick-off was held to eliminate some. The final kick-off was on November 27, where the choices were made for the 1950 Crack Squad. Sunday 'night at retreat Cartie Schaub announced that the new members were Coch- ran, Pavek, Barrett, Kaup, St. Clair, Timmons Wilson, C., and Buchanan, captain for 1952. The old members of the Squad included Cross, McCune, Schaub, Strom, Tincher, Thurmond, Lyman, and Kellett, captain for 1951. The members then went into daily practice sessions in preparation for their first show- ing at the Mid-WVinter Carnival dance. On March 7 they took their first trip, drilling between halves at the Laker-Sheboygan basketball game in Minneapolis. After the drill at Government Inspection, the Squad travelled to Appleton, Wisconsin, to drill at the DeMolay dance, April 29. The third home drill of the year was at the intermission of the junior-Senior Prom, and their next one was given in the evening of Armed Forces Day in the Faribault Armory. The last showing was during the Commencement dance. All their exhibitions showed the amount of practice the group had gone through. THE MOVIE CREW Every Tuesday night during the school year, except when there is a conflict in the sched- ule, the school provides entertainment for the battalion. This may consist of a basketball game during the winter months, or a movie. Mr. Craig, through arrangements with several distributors, obtains about twenty movies each year. These movies are shown to the battalion by a cadet movie crew which operates at the two 35-m.m. projectors and keeps all the equipment in good condition. Peter Tomaras, junior-in-charge, Thomas Evans, and Peter Purdum made up the crew at the beginning of this year. Last fall, when the tryout period began, cadets were instruct- ed in the operation of the two projectors and the sound system. At the close of the period, a test was given to determine the ability of each cadet. From the results of this test, one new member, Richard Stewart, was chosen. The battalion greatly appreciates the excellent work done by the movie crew in keeping the projectors rolling. This adds much to the enjoyment of the movies. N SEVENTY THREE
