P a ge Eighty-Three CADETS • Q. M. STOKES RON GILBERT MR. F. BARNES JACK URE JOHN VERES SIGNAL DEPARTMENT— A record has been set this year in the Signal Department. From all information received, our Signal Corps has been the first one in the province to obtain 20 words per minute in Morse Code. Twenty words is the equivalent to over a hundred letters a minute. Three of the boys passed the exam at this unusual rate. ..They are: Gordon Tait, Robert Sands, and Joe Amebrisko. The new Cauets in the Signals, however, did alright for themselves when seven passed at M W. P. M. t and ten at 6 YV. P. M. The Government now offers twenty dollar for 20 YV. P. M. and ten dollars for each of 12 and 6 YV. P. M. PRECISION SQUAD— Each W ednesday and Thursday the Precision Squad members meet and go through drills on their own count. They do difficult arm drills with the idea that all the boys should do it simultaneously. A precision squad does all its movements by counts and if one loses his timing it will spoil the whole movement. This squad is coached by Mr. Harrison. QUARTER MASTER’S STORE— The “Q.M.S.”, operated by Mr. Barnes, is opened every Tuesday and Thursday to enable the Cadets to get their uniforms. Each year the “Q.M.S. takes on the dutv of fitting each Cadet with a proper uniform and also seeing that these uniforms are returned it the end of the school year. The members of the “Q.M.S.” are Bissett. Chistoff. Karmazyn. Bacon, Bailey and E. Skov. BUGLE BAND— The Bugle Band, under the command of Ca¬ det Capt. Prodan, meets every Tuesday and Thursday after school in the Machine Shop. Here Mr. Xeilson has them play marches and calls for inspection. During the winter, the Band went through its drills in the Boys Gym. This comprised marching, and the form¬ ing of different calls. This year the Bugle Band will he helping us to win the Genera!

OFFICERS’ CLASS— This year our Officers Class got away to a good start. Boys going out for the Officers’ Class spend one hour a week, every 1 uesday, drilling and being drilled. Each boy has to learn how to explain, demonstrate and have lvs squad go through each of his commands. Every year the Cadet Officers have to pass an exami¬ nation. set down by Cadet Training Officers m London. Some of the things ait officer must know are the instruction and handling of weapons, army ranks and their equivalents in other services, drills, the instruction of recruits, rifle drill, and general information of Canada s Army. The officers have been given great praise for their work by the Training Officer. This would not be possibl e if it had not been for the assistance of Mr. Seguin and Mr. Malkin. INSPECTION (1947)— The time for the Cadets’ Inspection came, and as luck would have it. we were fortunate in having a very fine night. The Cadets gathered at the school and from there they paraded to the Windsor Stadium. After arriving at the Stadium, the Cadets mar¬ ched past the Saluting Base and reformed in line. The Cadets then advanced in line and gave the General Salute. They were then re¬ tired and inspected. After the inspection. “A” and “E” Com¬ panies. under the command of Cadet Major Westlake and Cadet Major Probert respectively, were put through Company Drill while “B Company, under the command of Cadet Major Dunkley, was put through Platoon Drill. After these were completed, the Battalion was formed up in mass for the ‘P. T.” Inspection. The “P. T.” Inspection passed and the Bat¬ talion was retired to the rear of the Stadium where they awaited word as to which Company had won the Colonel Laing Cup. This cup is awarded each year to the best Company in the Battalion. While waiting for the results, Cadet Lt. Col. D. O’Brien, Cadet Major R. Grant, Ca¬ det Major A. Probert. and Cadet Captain M. Briant, were awarded School Rings. A twenty-five dollar award was given by the Armoured Corps. This award was divideo among five Cadets: Cadet Major R. Grant, Cadet Lt. M. Hutchinson, Cadet Sgt. W. Janisse, Cadet Walter Domarchuck and Cadet Pte. J Sobocan. The results for the Colonel Laing Cup were brought to the Battalion and it was learned that ‘E” Company had won it. Cadet Major Probert was awarded the Cup by Cadet 1 rant¬ ing Officer Major J. Young. Special mention was made by the Inspecting Off cers about the brilliant performance of tin Gym Team, the operation of the Field Radios, by the Signalling Class and the hirst id Team, the Precision Squad,-and the fine demonstration of the Battalion’s Bugle Band.
