C. of the Du Sable High School has moved forward at a rapid pace since its organization in Ianuary of 1935. The unit has won many honors. In the spring semester of 1939, The Competitive Platoon under the command of Capt. Iohn McLean, won fourth place in the annual drill competing with twenty-six other units. In the same semester the unit was selected as one of the ten honor units of the city, thus enabling the boys to wear the prized honor star. In the following semester the unit was presented a trophy by the heavy weight champion of the world, Ioe Louis. Under the direction of the military instructor, Sgt. F. A. Wildforster, many new activities have been instigated. Two of these are the Zouaves and the Singing Cadets. Both of these units have appeared on many school programs.
