At Cadet Inspection the cadets expect to put on an elaborate dis¬ play, using blank ammunition, smoke bombs, camouflage and having some students act as the enemy. As in the past years, there will also be a display consisting of a march past of the corps, boys P.T. and a display of judo. The whole corps hopes that you will attend the inspection and will thoroughly enjoy the display. Last year was a most successful one, as the corps won the Strathcona Trust Trophy given to the school in Western Ontario that puts on the best P.T. display. —Maurice Cosyn — 24 —

MAJORETTES In 1946, the Leamington High School introduced a Majorette Corps, which has increased to a present enrolment of thirty-seven. The recently enrolled members are classified as Juniors and the others are Seniors. Eight or nine juniors will be selected to join the Senior Corps. All majorettes have regulation batons, but only the Seniors have uniforms. The uniforms are white satin with short pleated skirts, and a trim-fitting jacket which has gold braid trim on the shoulders. The outfits have smart hats and boots to match. Recently the Majorettes performed at Comber and Wheatley with the Senior Glee Club. Last fall the Drum Corps and the Bugle Corps were joined by the Majorettes at the football games, and the cadets were supported by their fine performance. —Millicent Walley — 26 —
