SPECULA GALTONIA 59 banded to form another company of in- fantry. The many movements which We have hitherto practised so diligently have been discarded and the scant time left at our disposal is taken up by the simple yet necessary motions. The three dress parades held this term have been, a fair parade, church parade and Armistice parade, all of which were Well attended. We look forward to May at which time our annual inspection by Major Jeffries, followed by the Cadet dance, brings military matters for this year to a close. LAURA SECORD SHOOTING TEAM Sitting-Lieut.

By ROSS MARTIN HE proficiency attained by the Cadet Corps during the past year has far outstripped ,the standards of other years. The Lieut.-Col. A. A. Campbell general efiiciency shield, symbolic of the highest number of points obtained in Military district No. 1, was awarded to the corps at their annual inspection of last May. Had it not been for the loss of fifteen points on the number of cadets, we would have shared first place with the Walkerville Collegiate Institute. Throug'h the excellent work of the boys' gym. team and the drills in which the entire corps took part, the London Free Press Physi- cal Training Cup was captured for the second consecutive year. The competition for the National Rifle Association's Imperial Shield was held in the fall and although our entries Were not sufficient to compete for the shield, never- theless, the results showed a marked 1n- crease over previous years. Lieutenants Dando, Martin and Dietrich, and Cadet St. Clair Won the riiie and star badges, While Captain Thornton, Sergeant Elmslie and Cadet McDermid receive-d the rifie alone. The King George cup team ranked fourth in M. D. No. 1 and eleventh in the Dominion. This shoot was held at Lon- don. Lieut. Tutton further increased the prestige of the school when he Won the gold medal for the highest score in the fire with movement which is undoubted- ly the most part of the entire shoot. Lieutenant Archer was placed sixth in the shoot and received an O. R. A. bronze medal. Captains Lorriman and Davison acted as leaders for the te-am composed of R. Archer, W. Tutton, K. Campbell, R. Martin, H. Dando, R. Thornton, C. St. Clair and J. Dietrich. 'f The Laura Secord Team URTHER honour has been brought to the school through the winning of the Laura Secord Shooting Trophy. Our rise to the top has, indeed, been remark- able since in the last three years We have come seventh, third and first respectively. Those Who constitute the team are: Capt. Thornton, Lieutenants Martin and Dietrich and Cadet St. Clair. To each of these was awarded a large box of Laura Secord Chocolates, whiqh, much to the chagrin of the student body in gen- eral, were presented in secret. As usual a large number of cadets have obtained Dominion marksmen medals. At present the D. C. R. A. competition is being shot and the results are proving much higher than in past years. The next shoot Will take the form of an inter-corps competition when the Lieut.-Col. R. W. Meikleham's trophy is contested for by the various companies. During the past year the corps has ex- perienced a decided upheaval. The Sig- nallers and Stretcher-bearers have dis-
