'i' To instill patriotism and an awareness of the job-to-be-done into Eastern's one hundred and fifty man regiment, drills were held in the school armory, the National Guard Armory, and on the drill field. Mass for- mation, which required twenty-five hours to perfect, taught basic military principles and constituted the main drills. The regiment is composed of two battalions, each of which is divided into two companies. Supply sergeants for each company distribute uniforms, sabres, and rifles to their companies. Monthly contests offering movie tickets and ice cream as prizes were aimed at keeping the units in order and neat at all times. Judges, officers from Second Army Head- quarters, awarded Company B two vict-ories. Other competitions for the corps were Com- pany, Battalion, and General Excellence. For the second year the four companies were shooting for the Honor Company Award which was w-on by Company D last year. Twelve officers were awarded their commis- sions in the ceremonies at the National Guard Armory. Captain Harry Litts of Company A ranked highest of all Eastern cadets at his graduation in February.
