THE ASHBURIAN izi i CADET CORPS UITE a number of changes have been made in the Corps this year, both in organization and training in order to conform with the new R C A C. programme. S.M.l. lW.O. ll CM. Henry took over the Corps at the start of the year, and work on the new syllabus of training was begun immediately with a view to giving the cadets an opportunity to qualify for their badge as 3rd Class cadets As this was the first year of the new qualifying system, authority was ob- tained to grade cadets already in the Corps on their length of service and officers and senior N.C.O's, were awarded three chevrons, cadets with more than one year's service received two chevrons and under one year were given one chevron. From now on, however, cadets are required to qualify for their chevrons ond, with the exception of First Aid, all examinations for qualifying for the next chevron have been held. The Corps started the year as a company with a strength of about 78 mem- bers. lt was organized as a Headquarters platoon with a signal section and a first aid se:tion, and two rifle platoons. CfMaior E. Pilgrim was Commanding Officer, with CfCapt. H. Bulpit as second in command. During the Easter term, however, it was decided to re-organize the Corps on a battalion basis and to bring into the Corps the company from the iunior cadet corps. lt was felt that this move would increase interest in the work generally, and this proved to be the fact, The Corps, as re-organized, naw consisted of battalion HQ, and two com- panies, of two platoons each. At the some time there was a general step in rank, C!Major Pilgrim going to CfLieut.-Colonel and CfCapt Bulpit being promoted to Cfivlajor. CfLieutenants D. Hooper and P, Harbin were promoted to CfMaior and appointed company commanders, with other necessary promo- tions being made at the some time. A qualifying course for existing and potential N.C.Os. was run during the Easter tern' covering drill, some map reading and field work. It is hoped to establish this course as a permanent part of the Corps work, and to extend its scope. -Results were very encouraging, a big proportion of the class passing, A course in semaphore signalling was also run during the year. Here again, results were very good, about 9694i of the Corps passing the examinations held by the District Signalling officer, Capt. H. Bonner, Morse buzzer classes were run as part of the Defence Training programme and all the candidates passed, A considerable amount of new equipment, including Coue rifles and Swift Training rifles, was received from N.D.H.Q. during the year which helped con- siderably in the training of the Corps. A very considerable amount of 'range work was carried out during the year. In addition to firing the annual range course, cadets also fired in the
