THE STAFF Maj. Kochan Maj. Tresselt Lt. Col. Downey Maj. Adams Capt. Kecatos The highest honor that any cadet can achieve, upon reaching his 4A semester, is to become a member of the regimental staff. When, after two years of steady promotion, a cadet reaches the rank of second Lieutenant, or better, he is eligi¬ ble to take the staff test. He is tested on his knowledge of Military Science and Tactics, his ability to drill, and on his merit of past semes¬ ters. A prospective officer must have a high schoolastic average. After the competitive scores are established the lieutenant colonel and his staff are chosen. This staff is composed of a lieutenant colonel and six majors, three regimental and three battalion, and a supply captain. The Lieutenant Colonel at present is Joseph Downey, a capable and well liked commander. His staff is as fol¬ lows; Executive Major John Kochan; P. T. Major Louis Tresselt; Regimental Adjutant Edwin Adams. These three Majors compose the regimental staff. The battalion Majors are as follows; 1st. Battalion, John Schmidt; 2nd. Bat¬ talion, Ray Peters; and 3rd. Battalion, Edward Gessner. The supply captain is Ted Kecatos. L t. Col. Downey is in charge of officers’ school and, of course, is assisted by his staff. Lt. Col. Downey also supervises the Crack Drill Platoon. One day a week he is in charge of Saber School. Major Kochan is in charge of N.C.O. School. Major Tresselt is in charge of making a train¬ ing plan for the regiment. Major Adams is in charge of the office records and supplies. Major Peters’ main responsibilities are the first ser¬ geants. Major Schmidt is in charge of Color and Guidon Schools. Major Gessner is publicity ad¬ visor and disciplinary officii’ Page eightg-six

Officers and Non-Coms School Maj. Schmidt Maj. Peters Maj. Gessner OFFICERS’ SCHOOL Officers’ school, which is under the command of Lt. Col. Joseph Downey, is conducted in a most military manner. All officers, including staff members, must attend this school. The off¬ icers are taught the proper method of instruc¬ tion, methods of handling the cadets, and spe¬ cialized drill and command. No other school takes as much time in training its officers as Lane. It is said, “an officer is as good as his poorest cadet”. Many times Lane officers have been commended on their resource¬ fulness and attentiveness in obeying and carry¬ ing out orders. Therefore one can see why the Lane regiment maintains the highest standards of any regiment of its size. N. C. 0. SCHOOL Non-commissioned officers school, which is under the supervison of Major Kochan is assis¬ ted by one of Lane’s most commendable officers, 1st. Lt. Raymond Frendahl. They have the job of instructin g and teaching the future officers of Lane. The N.C.O. is said to be the backbone of the regiment. This statement discribes him perfect¬ ly. It is the N.C.O. who is in direct contact with the men of the ranks, because he is one of them. The N.C.O.’s deeds exceeds those of the officers, for he must work hand in hand with both officers and cadets. He asks no special recognition for a job well done, other than that of bettering him¬ self in the eyes of his superiors. Page eighty-seven
