VOX LYCEI 49 21.9 . fi Cv T- T X. f 9 ' in if it 1 I 1 E ZF -U:-7 ' Cadet Corps . The- Cadet Corps, the medium through which our school is directlv 'tsso ,X ' 1 . ,- ciated with our Federal Government, is an extremely valuable organization. By Joining the Corps, a student shows that he has the right school spirit, and that he wishes to learn how to work with his fellow students in har- mony and with precision. The old slogan, join the Cadets is having effect, and we are proud to say that this year's enrolment is considerably greater than that of last year. This increased interest in the Corps gives the officers renewed hopes that Lisgar will distinguish herself in the coming inspection early in May. 1Ve were unfortunate to lose Mr. XY. D. T. Atkinson. our Cadet Administra- tor, who did such fine work in managing the Corps. In June, last year, Mr. Atkinson by accepting the principalship of the Collingwood Collegiate Institute, was forced to leave us. XVe, the members of the 94th Corps, wish him every success in his new office. Mr. Atkinson's place has since been ably hlled by Mr. L. H. Meng, who is well known to all of us, having been associated with the school for many years. Knowing Mr. Meng's ability as administrator, the school may rest assured that he will do everything in his power for the improvement of the old 94th. G. S. Ogilvie-Yth. The 1929 Cadet Inspection The increased freedom of movement gained in having the 1928 inspection on Cartier Square was a deciding factor in having the 1929 inspection at l.ans- downe Park, where there was still more room for the Brigade movements. The Brigade consisting of Lisgar 94th, Technical 775th, and the Cwlebe lO7Oth formed up on the Glebe School campus on the afternoon of May 17th. It was then taken over by Brigadier S. Stanyar and marched to Lansdowne Park, where it was formally inspected by Lt. Col. B. E. Boak, D.S.O. The procedure of the inspection was an exact replica of previous years and thus does not need further description. After the- inspection the Brigade formed a hollow square and the McGuire Cup. emblematic of the best company on par- ade was presented. The Glebe A Company showed its superiority on the March Past to win this coveted trophy. Silver medals were also presented to

The Brigade then reformed line and marched past in column of route before the saluting base. The Battalions then disengaged, and each company dispersed but not one cadet left until he had received his full quota of ice cream and ginger ale, refreshments which have been a pleasant feature of the last two inspections.

The Cadet Dance The Cadet Dance, assuredly the most colourful of all school dances, took place, on the night of the inspection, in the Glebe gymnasium under the capable management of the Glebe Corps. The dance was open to all those cadets who had been on parade that after- noon and who had lady friends to accompany them, as a stag line was not allowed. Besides Cadets, there were many visitors from the various units of the Ottawa Garrison, whose full dress stood out in marked contrast with the khaki of the Cadets. Dancing commenced about nine o'clock, and after seven or eight numbers the Grand March took place, led by Dr. and Mrs. A. H. McDougall. The Grand March was followed by refreshments, after which dancing was resumed and continued till midnight. It was, undoubtedly, the most successful and pleasant dance of the year. G. S. Ogilvie-Vth. Shooting ' On contemplating the details of this year's shooting one hesitates whether to cheer or to lament. At first glance the latter would seem to be the fitter, for were we not, soon after the summer holidays, forced to enter in the King George Match a team which lacked no less than six of the eight members who com- posed it the previous year? For what could we possibly hope from a team of novices with only two old hands to steady them? But, stay your tears for a moment, a surprise was waiting. No! Wfe did not find that the team had learned to shoot by mail, but it seems that three or four had been practising during the summer, and besides, to our ranks came a sharpshooter from Nepean High School. Let us see what happened. E Headed by Forbes Hirsch with eighty-nine and ninety, a truly remarkable and almost incredible score, considering the conditions of the match. our mus- keteers swept on to secure a magnificent total, one which gave them third place in the Dominion-wide match. They were only twenty-seven points behind the winners of first place, our contemporaries from the Glebe School. For having contributed their share in the good work done, we thank the volunteer markers from both schools who by their efficient services did much to make the scores what they were. Credit is also due to Mr. Carter who coached the teams. In the case of indoor competitions we may mention first the Laura Secord, which is noteworthy chiefly because our Bruce fMacCallumj dropped only one point out of a possible century and also because our teams secured third place in it. This means a pound of chocolates for each member of the team. As an item of interest, the Glebites bagged first place in this match too, and to them we extend our heartiest congratulations.
