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 EASTERNER 15 our Alma Mater has shown her su- periority over the other high schools in this particular branch of student activity. We are proud that we are graduates of such a school as old Eastern. And being such, we wish to congratu- late the man who has won the victory this year, and also the faculty and stu- dent body, the former on being able to turn out such men, the latter on having such men among its numbers. May this achievement so stimulate the hearts and minds of the whole under- graduate body, that you shall not be satisfied until the name of Eastern stands for supremacy in every thing connected with high school life. And by imparting this spirit to those who shall come after you, may you build up a name for the light blue and white which shall never be forgotten by those who come in contact with her.
