COE THE REGIMENT. With Eastern’s success in securing her ourth successive Colonel, we hope to make this a banner year for Eastern in the history of the High School Cadet Regiment. The regimental officers for this year are as follows: Colonel, G. C. Clark, Eastern; Lieutent-Colonel, J. T. Porter, Tech.; Majs., M. S. Fillius, Tech., Bain aightfoot, Western, Chester Bassett, Central; Regimental Adjutant, Earnest Williams, Central; Regimental Quarter- master, D. G. McNair, Tech.; Battalion djutants, W. B. Greenwood, Tech.; oseph Spillman, Western; E. R. Shep- herd, Central. With such an efficient corps of officers as this, the regiment, under Col. Clark, expects to accomplish much this year. The new colonel has announced that to the former program will be added the “Manual of the Bayonet.” He has said also that the non-commissioned officers will receive instructions in tactical preb- lems in the suburbs of the city, and that the regiment as a whole will be taken into the country at least once for this purpose. He has also stated that there will be systematic shooting at the indoor and outdoor ranges of the N. G. D. C. It is hoped that these added induce- ments will bring forth a large number of cadets in every school. COMPANY F. Company F has started drilling now, and the new men are making progress rapidly.
