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. On the first drill day about five squads came out, and, while more have joined since, only a small portion of the male members of the school has enlisted. Any boy who really wants to

The use of an acre of ground near Rock Creek Park, overlooking Pierce Mill, has been secured from Mr. Louis P. Shoemaker for the Camp Fire girls. On Friday, October 9, the members of Camp Desire made a temporary camp on this land. Two Camp Fires from Tech. were entertained at supper and at a grand council fire in the evening. Miss Thomas, the Y. W. C. A. secretary from Buenos Aires, spoke on the opportuni- ties of North American girls. A few members of Camp Desire spent the night “sleeping out.” Toc Waugh Camp Fire has been in search of a guardian, but up to the pres- ent time has been unsuccessful.

Plans for a Hallowe'en Party have been made. The Society hopes to do much work in the literary line this year. Already several interesting program meetings have been held. The program committee has some pleasant surprises in store for all who attend the meetings. Every girl should do her part, to help make the society a success in every way. We want to make this year the best in the history of the society, and in order to do this we need the help of every member. -Walter- (to advertiser): I can write about anything.
