Under the leadership of Colonel Francis Roy, Lieu- tenant-Colonel jordan Mc- Cann, and Majors Phillips T Whittemore and Blaine Hoo- I L I TH R -Y ver, the M. T. c. has added I I V I another successful year to , its fine record at E. T. H. S. With its severe but just dis- i cipline, and unlimited oppor- tunities for a boy to advance by his own work and deeds, the corps has again produced its share of seniors who bring credit to our school. The mustering ceremony was the first big event of the year. New recruits of the Corps repeated the solemn oath of allegiance to the Corps, school, and nation. Mr. Bacon was the guest speaker of the evening. Major Whittemore was in charge of the annual Military Ball and that dance was considered one of the finest social events of the year. Captain Harker, Captain McCallum, Sergeant VanDoren, and Sergeant Packard, as chairmen of the various committees, did much to make the dance a success. The rifle team had a very successful season and won second place in the Sixth Corps Area championships. The team won eight matches in a row before losing to Culver. In the competition for the Hearst trophy, the rifle team won first place for the Sixth Corps Area. The drill team, led by Colonel Roy, expects to make its annual trip to the Wisconsin Roundup where, in last year's competition, the team won the high school championship and placed third in the entire meet. The government inspection: Regimental Night, at which time the boxing championships are held: the Military Pageant, when the D.A.R. sabre is awarded to some junior, and the Corps banquet, when promotions for next year are made-all come too late for the results to be published in the Year Book.

The participation was large in all activi- ties, especially hockey. Motion pictures oi hockey were shown for the first time at the annual Play Day to which New Trier and Oak Park were invited. As usual, Evanston girls Were selected to try out for the North Shore Hockey Team. Kate Gab- lenz, Emily Hunt, Muriel Parks, Bessie Mc- Fadzean, lane Eastham, and Betty May- rand were chosen to compete. We were honored by having on the first team Bessie McFadzean and Muriel Parks, who was chosen captain. As a climax oi the hockey season a circus complete with Wild ani- mals, clowns, and trapeze artists Was presented. The Board introduced winter sports, in addition to the usual activities basketball, soccer, volleyball, dancing, and archery. With the arrival of spring, the baseball, track, and tennis season completed the year's program. Much of the success oi the year is due to the executive board on which Phyllis lvarson, Kate Gablenz, Muriel Parks, and Emily Hunt are the senior members.
