SPORTS DAY CCGRDING to custom, we had fine weather not only on Sports Day, but also when running off the heats. There was a goodly number of spectators in view of it being a mid- week morning and some good races with close finishes were seen. Sablin's record of 10 2f'5 in the 100 yards was notable. Grant I's achievement in win- ning every Junior event has rarely been equalled. He naturally won also the Aylwin Cup for the Junior Champion- ship. Robertson won the Intermediate Championship and the Irwin Cup by a very narrow margin from Castle. Sablin again won the Fleming Cup for the Senior Championship, but Smith I and Pilgrim gave him a good run for his money. Results 100 yards, Senior-1, R. Sablin, 2, J. Smith, 3, P. Richardson.

28 CADET EARING the laurels of the Sherwood Cup, presented annually to the best Cadet Corps in the Ottawa District of M. D. No. 3, No. 137 R. C. A. C. Ashbury College Cadet Corps started this year in high spirits. Early in the Michaelmas term Colonel L. P. Sherwood himself came and pre- sented the Cup to us, who now felt that we had the reward of one year's hard work in the school, and that with another year of even harder and more loyal work, it would remain here. Mr. C. M. Henry, our instructor, now holding the rank of Lieutenant, arrived a week or two late. How- ever, this gave us time to arrange the Quarter- master Stores, to hand out the uniforms, and to inspect all the new material, weapons and cadets. Mr. Henry arriv- ed to put the battalion in order 3 things then pro- ceeded according to plan. In the actual Corps organization, the following arrangements were soon put into effect : Cadet Lieutenant-Colonel E. B. Pil- grim, ofiicer commanding the Battalion, Cadet Major J. G. M. Hooper, second- in-commandg Cadet Regimental Ser- geant-Major, J. F. Smith 5 Cadet Lieu- tenant C. W. J. Eliot, Adjutant. In addition to this there were two Cadet Majors, each commanding a company, and two Cadet Captains, their seconds- in-command. Each Company consisted of two platoons. As in the latter part of last year, the Junior School made up most of No. 2 Company. All N.C.Ofs, with the exception of the R.S.M. and the two C.S.M.'s, were THE ASHBURIAN CORPS holding their ranks temporarily. A class attended by all these N.iC..O.'s and those cadets wishing to become N.C.O.'s was held, in which all necessary drill, with and without arms, was taken up. The men were divided into three squads, each squad being instructed by a corps officer. The purpose of this class was to make N.'C.lO.'s who had a thorough knowledge of drill, and who could in- struct in drill. Map Reading was also included in this training. Work to gain chevrons was soon under way. In Defence classes various subjects were taken up, among which were: Me- teorology, Small Arms Training and the Inter- nal Combustion Engine, in which a demonstra- tion model of an old Ford engine helped con- siderably. Shooting on the ranges continued, but with rather disappointing re- sults. Despite this, how- ever, the Cadet Corps seemed to be showing promise. Early in the month of February, we received a mortal blow. Mr. Henry was called away. We were left in the middle of our training syllabus and it was here that we realiz- ed how much we depended on oiu' instructor. He handled most of the offi- cial correspondence, he could spend all his time on the Corps, and he had an infinite knowledge of the work done. In vain another instructor was sought, so we had to carry on as we could. With outside help, we were given lec- tures on some platoon weapons. At the beginning of the Trinity term, the Battalion returned to a Company
