EASTERN ECHO 33 Cadets ONDAY, May 7th, 1931. The sun was shining brightly on the cadets of the school, lined up for their annual inspection. They were as smart and efficient a corps as Eastern Commerce ever turned out. In the centre of the parade grounds, which, under ordinary circum- stances, is the school campus, stood the main body of cadets. UH in one corner the band was lined. up with their llrass all shined to perfection. Grouped all around the campus were the rest of the students, enjoying the brilliant scene. At 9.20 Colonel lXlcCrimmon and Colonel Thompson took their position at the saluting base. The cadets presented arms and the band played the General Salute. Colonel McCrimmon then inspected the cadets for their general neatness and appearance and finally for their marching ability. After the main body of cadets, the bugle band and the signallers were inspected. Colonel McCrimmon commented on the great improvement in the whole corps, much of which was due to the training received from Mr. Doidge in the gymnasium in the winter months. The officers of the company for last year were: Company Ctimmander-HCaptain R. Chalykott. Second-in-Command-Captain I. Heath. Lieutenants lireedman. Mellway. Steen and Mooney. The bugle band was led by Lieutenant R. llailey. The signallers were led by Lieutenant E. VVhynot. The following Staff Instructors are to be congratulated for their part in the training of the cadets: Mr. Doidge-Qlnstructtir-in-tleneral, Mr. Schnick-Rifle Team Instructor, Mr. A. Elliott-Signalling Instructor. Mr. Chard, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Frisiby-Ceremonial Instructors. The results of the shooting of 1931 may be brielly summarized as follows: The Eastern Commerce team was fourth out of twelve teams competing in the Mason Trophy, which is open to all secondary schools in the city. .Iim Fidler obtained the best individual score in the entire match In the Dominion of Canada Riiie Association matches the teams materially improved their position, and two silver and seven bronze medals were won by individual marksmen. In the Imperial Challenge Match the teams' positions were improved and ten individual awards were obtained. ,lim Fidler was awarded the Strathcona Trust llledal for the best shot in the corps in 1930-1931. For 1932 the entries in the Dominion of Canada liillc Association Matches have been doubled and results lu date indicate both better team positions and more individual awards. The corps this year has begun shooting in the Dominion Marksmen Competition and many awards have already been won. ,Jock Mills, SIS. An added feature of the Echo of 1932 is the Question llox. The purpose of this department was to lend a helping hand to the youth or maiden who was groping and stumbling along the dark path uf ignorance. The results were many sleepless nights for the Editor, and a brain greatly fuddled and below par. VVe are sure that as a result of much exploiting on our part, the beacon of knowledge is gleaming on the horizon and that one day it will burst out in all its glory, all this being due to the liastcrn Echo Question Box. VVe hope that now you will begin gathering your problems together and next year they will be contributed to the Question Box and solved with no apparent difficulty on your part. --Pearl Smith tQuestion liditorl.
