PAGE THIRTEEN THE TOWERS 19 4 S — 1949 THE SIGNAL CORPS— The signal group under the instruction of Captain Anderson, with the co-operation of many of the teachers, has proven itself success¬ ful. We have three stations in operation: Wal- kerville, Patterson, and iust recently Kennedy. The signallers practise almost every night with Cadet Captain G. Tait, the cadet in charge. With the experience behind our members, we hope for a bigger and better signal squad in the future. CADET CAMP — This year many new developments have arisen. Since our Cadet Corps is affiliated with the 22nd Recces Reg ' t., they have taken special in¬ terest in our training. The 22nd Recces have enlisted eighty members of our corps and are training them in a special field. These recruits parade with the Regiment and, on Sundays, are taken out and taught the driving and mainten¬ ance of trucks. The cadets that are in the “Recces are also taught a little about radios and general training. This year, twenty-five cadets attended the special six-week camp at Ipperwash. Some took the signalling course while others took the Motor Transport Course. The signallers learned the operation, main¬ tenance, and use of “58 and “19 sets. Signal trucks would take a crew of boys out in the country where they could contact each other. With “58 sets strapped to their backs, the ca¬ dets would venture out by themselves and set up observation posts. Those who partook in the Motor Trans¬ port Course learned driving, maintenance, and repairs of the army trucks The R.C.A.B.C. supplied instructors and supervised the training. The cadets drove the trucks in convoys down to the swimming beach. Along with the signal¬ ling and “M.T.” courses many others were en¬ joyed. The cadets were taught Light Machine Gun training, map reading, range practice, and the “army version of marching. All subjects were taught very thoroughly with the help of army instructors. Excellent recreational facilities were given to us. Very good meals, movies, sports, and trips to the surrounding towns were enjoyed regularly. Those who went to the experimental cour¬ ses were: Motor Transport—Joe Agoston, Jack Altenhof, Dick Archer, Frank Belanger, Ro¬ bert Bishop, Bob Cunningham, Bob Ellwood, Norman Footnuck, Henry Hazel, Earl Hooey, Bill Kingsley, Ralph Lawton, Lome Mann, Da¬ vid Moody, Alan Nixon and Edward Tarcin; Signals—Roger Drago, Art Grundy, Norman Hall, George Hrisckenko, Charles Strong, Gor¬ don Tait, Fred Veitch, John Veres, Walter Wills. Cadet Capt. Gordon Tait had the privilege of going to Banff with twenty cadets, chosen from the cadet corps of Ontario. He had a very exciting three weeks which were spent in sight¬ seeing tours and sports.

CADETS r CADET BAND QUARTER MASTER STORES— The Q.M.S. , operated hy Lt. I ' . W. H. Barnes, is open every Tuesday and Thursday. Mr. Barnes and his able staff of eadets supply each cadet with the “proper uniform. This year the “Q.M.S. lias received enough berets for each cadet in the corps. Vlso army boots are being sold for three dollar ' . Cadet Lt. G. Bissett is in charge of the “Q.M.S. • FIRST AID TEAM— The First Aid Team which had over twenty-five members, was given praise for their impressive demonstration on the night of the inspection. This would not have been possible without the fine work and interest of Mr. New¬ man. the instructor. Cadet Lt. J. Mcndlcr was the cadet in charge. The team gave excellent demonstra¬ tions of bandaging wounds and stretcher cases. They also helped to put some realism in the sham battle by taking care of the wounded. The First id Team was well trained and smart; and with some of last year ' s experience and talent, we hope for a bigger and better team in the future. OFFICERS ' CLASS— This year the Officers ' Class has been broken up into two parts, the commissioned of¬ ficers report on Tuesday with Capt. Scguin. while the newcomers are under the supervi¬ sion of Major Malkin on Wednesday. Forty boys reported the first night with many of the seasoned officers. Some things a cadet officer must know are rifle, platoon, and company drill. He should know general items of interest about our armed forces. BUGLE BAND— The Band, under Cadet Capt. 1). Prodin ' s command, has been training all year. Kach Tuesday and Thursday they meet in Mr. Wil¬ son ' s shop to practise for an hour. There are forty members enrolled. Our Band was excellent last year and we hope for an even better one this year. • CADET RIFLE COMPETITION IN 1948- Our rifle team, under the instruction of Major Jennings, has entered many competitions. Some of these being: 1. The Dominion of Canada Rifle Associ¬ ation in which it stood tenth out of four hundred and nine teams entered. 2. The Ontario Rifle Association—we lost to Walke-fvillc by a slim three points. Fifty- seven teams entered this match. 3. Province of Ontario Competition—our team placed seventh in the fifty-eight teams that were entered. 4. Royal Military College our entry was lost in the London offices. • INSTRUCTORS— This year was a very successful one for our Cadet Corps. This would not have been possible if it had not been for Lt. Col. Harman, chief instructor: Major Malkin, junior officers: Major Jennings, rifle-team; Capt. Scguin. sen¬ ior officers: Capt. Anderson, signals; Major Barnes, quartermaster: l.t. McManus, publicity: Lt. Murray. P.T. instructor: C. 1. Newman. First Aid: Bandmaster Xeilson, and those who are company instructors. On behalf of the Cadets. 1 wish to take a little space to say so many thanks to those instructors who help us to achieve so much. OFFICERS’ CLASS
