LOYOLA WO years ago, when the quarters of the contingent were moved from the Administra- tion Building to the Junior Build- ing, everyone thought that a much- needed improvement had been adequate- ly supplied. But those quarters, excel- lent as they were, did not suffice to satisfy the wants of an ambitious and growing unit. Asa result, this year the Officers’ Mess, Orderly Room, and Quarter-Master stores were installed in a new location, through the kindness of the Recreational Department. These new quarters have proved in every way satisfactory. Another improvement, longer await- ed and more required than the above, came when the corps received a com- plete issue of the new style, super-fine C.O.T.C. uniforms. Unfortunately the issue arrived too late to be of use for the last parade but it will be available for the coming year, and when the corps does appear in the new uniforms, it will COLLEGE REVIEW be able to hold place with the smartest dressed units of the city. In addition a new badge has received Ottawa's ap- proval, and will be ready for issue with the new uniforms. This year saw one of the largest classes for Certificate “А,” twenty-one in all writing the examinations. For the first time in the history of the corps, there was a class for Certificate “В.” Under the chairmanship of Captain J. W. Long, boxing was also included in the program of the C.O.T.C. Four of our boxers reached the finals in the Military Boxing Tournament held in the Craig Street Drill Hall. The capable instruction of Major Murtagh, well- known boxing authority, had much to do with the success of the boxers. The annual inspection took place on Friday evening, April 26th, under Brig- adier W. W. P. Gibsone, C.M.G., D.S.O., O.B.E., assisted by Lieut. Col. M. M. L. Garon. The competition for the best platoon was won by No. 1 Platoon commanded by Lieut. Eric Kierans and Sgt. T. McGovern. The best dressed cadets were in the order named Cpl. Romano, Cpl. Lalonde, and Pte. Hackett. On May 6th, the corps had the rn of showing its loyalty to their gracious majesties King George V and Queen Mary by taking part in the Jubilee Parade. 483%
