40 THE PARK BENCH in .f x ' i ' , Equipment consists of 50 rifles, respirators, aircraft recognition slides, tools for navigation, etc., and The Service Aircrew, the Air Force text book. The squadron is now completely uniformed, each cadet with cap and collar badges, and shoulder flashes. The N.C.O's have been drill tested by members of the R.C.A.F, and worked hard to earn their stripes. Various steps have been taken to secure discipline. Cadets have been confined to a single half day, A.C. officers have been supplied with uniforms, and the N.C.O.'s have the power to deal out punishment to the uncoeoperative. A definite syllabus has been drawn up for camp this summer. Camps will last 10 days and cadets will have a chance to see the workings of an R.C.A.F. station. Air Cadets are becoming a practical part of school life. ff THE CADET BAN D f-- A '-'K '2 . ,A -an f - .

THE PARK BENCH 39 in squad and rifle drill, small arms training, map reading, signalling, Bren gun, fieldcraft, and lectures on crganization and administration. Practically all the in- struction was done by the Officers and N.C.O's of the Company. In addition a little wcrk was done in ski training in spite of the adverse weather this winter. All officers, N.C.O's and other ranks V, who were interested attended an N.C.O. school after parades to learn the art of instructing. Due to this course the Cadet Corps next year Will have a fine nucleus cf trained N.C.O's and Officers. Brigadier G. H. H. Trudeau D.O.C,, MD. l2 was present at the annual inspection on May 12th. After taking the salute at the march past he watched the boys train- ing. Then he gave a very fine infcrmal talk to the Corps. The boys were out that day to put on their best shcw, and both the Brigadier and the District Cadet Officer were highly pleased. At the conclusion of the school year many of the Senior Cadets are going to the ranks of the active army, while cthers intend to apgly for the Canadian Army Course at the University of Saskatchewan. Wherex'er they are stationed We Wish them luck, and we feel sure that their cadet work will help them immensly on their road to success. ' To the junior cadets we leave a reccrd cf a year's hard and profitable training. May their time as senior cadets be as enjoyable as the time we spent. Carry on, fellows. -ARTHUR POTTS, Cadet C.S.M. l!f !f THE AI R CADETS Air Cadet Squadron 113, City Park Collegiate, Saskatoon, is now on a firm basis. Through the efforts of Ffl.

According to the ancient custom of City Park, the Houses gather together their Greer Garsons and Gary Coopers and go into the acting racket in a terrific frenzy. For a month and a half students obligingly cussed their directors and brought their lunch. The result-an evening oi good entertainment. Haultain started the hall rolling with Wings ot Darkness , directed hy NANO NAGLE. RONNY SOMERVILL was commanded by the adjudicator Prof. F, H. Ed- munds. Slipping into a more mysterious play, CARMEN ZAPPA as Cairn's representative, presented The Cloak of Evil. lt was from this play our Gary Cooper came: FRANK SZOMBATHY. Congratulations, Frank. Setting again to lighter material, Baie, with the capable help of BEVERLY HOGARTH, produced Indian Summer. This play missed the Oscar by two points. Better luck next time. But not satisfied with coming second, BETH MILLER took the individual award followed closely by BEATRICE WRIGLEY, looth in the same play, Congratulations again. lt was Martin who did take the Oscar with The Spiders Web directed by SHEILA GORDON. To all the plays, Prof. Edmunds gave an excellent and constructive criticism.
