Under the guidance of Lieutenant Jones, the Corps has doubled in size and now has the reputation of being the best drilled unit in the Sixth Corps Area. Both the change to cadet grey uniforms and the new quarters mark outstanding factors which our class has seen. During the last three years the crack drill platoon of the Cadet Corps has estab- lished the remarkable record of not meeting a single defeat with competition in nine meets. Drill competition, however, is not the only function in which the drill platoon has taken a prominent part. At the championship basketball game between Evanston and Morton in 1929 it is still well remembered how the platoon formed without a com- mand the letters E. T. H. S. Four members of the Rifle Club will graduate with the class of '31. Harold Heinkel, Carlton McNamer, Robert Taylor, and John Riddell have played an outstand- ing role in advancing the team to one of the topmost notches of Q national recognition. Harold Heinkel, the captain of the rifle team I and a captain in the military unit, has been a member of the team 5 since his freshman year. Carlton McNamer, a captain in the cadet ay LIAR-I BELL corps, also earned a team berth in his freshman year. John Riddell, Cadet Major and Commander of the cadet Corps, has shot high scores most consistently during his two years on the rifle team. Many marked changes have taken place in which these members have had an important part. Two years ago the rifle gallery was hidden away in the attic of the 114 wing, and eager marksmen, both civilian and mili- tary, laboriously kept the ball rolling. Their efforts were not in vain, for during the summer of 1929 the old cafeteria structure became the new corps quarters. The school rifle gallery is now one of the best equipped of its kind in the United States. Fourteen

CLASS SKETCHES The freshman is the little lad who holds in such worshipful awe the first floor- particularly the lobby-and those who use it. He is industrious and never fails to carry home a bulging brief-case. He rather enjoys his new life and its busy days, for he 'is indeed always in a hurry to get . . . where? In his own eyes the sophomore is a veteran with some polish of sophistication. He feels that he realizes the cares and responsibilities of life, and tries very hard not to be mistaken for a freshman. He feels himself quite capable of doing 'as much as of more than those who have preceded him, yet he respects the senior as one who has had more experience. He is nearing seventeen. i The junior has arrived on the first floor, where he hopes that some one will mistake him for a senior. He is in a new atmosphere-politics, class elections, 1 a-nd committees-the Junior Cotillion. He is making a name for m himself athletically and scholastically. He loses his awe of the Q senior, but still respects his position. College is still a long way - away, so he does not worry much about his studying. The senior-demigod of the freshman-is weighed down by the responsibilities of life. He complains somewhat of the size of the assignments, but feels no little pride in carrying about a copy of Vergil's Aeneid or a fourth-year French book. The twin towers seem to him to rest on his shoulders. He must publish the Year Book, edit the Evanston- ian, command the R. O. T. C., and represent the school athletically, scholastically, and socially. He views with 'apprehension the approach of the College Board Examinations. Perhaps he tries to make up for three wasted years. He is not so serious as he is sometimes said to be. Once in a while he enters into a bit of horseplay, which reminds one of that familiar sentence in the school catalogue about young ladies and gentlemenf' Sooner than he realizes comes the rush of graduation. He has finished his four years for morej, yet he does not feel much different from what he did when he entered the school. THE EVANSTON PHANTOM L, The Evanston headless horseman has been riding the gridiron for many years. This year he has carried high the colors of Orange and Blue, and has helped us march on to the championship. When things looked bad for us, and we were face to face with defeat, the fai-nt strains, of Down the Field would be heard. An unseen force wouldbpen a hole in our opponent's line, and send our backs romping through. The opposing men would fall before us, as if mowed down by 'a machine gun, while our ball carrier would over for a touchdown. Was it the headless rider who caused this, or was it good work' on the part of the team? Who knows? Who is this ghost rider? It might be Goacher, Merrell, Sullivan, or Keing for these four seem to be the horsemen of the grid. But wait, donit be too hasty in making your choice. This phantom does not ride at night as you would expect, but every Saturday afternoon during football season. Sixteen
