as n There are six organizations in N. Y. M. A.g six units which com- pose the whole battalion, but there is only one A Company. There could only be one A Company. It is beyond the realm of possibility that two companies could be turned out of the mill in such perfection as A Company. Of course it is natural that we should have the best com- pany of all, for have we not all the big and brainy fellows in the school? Have we not a staff of oflicers headed by the veteran Al Young, who is seconded by another veteran, Foote, and the famous Nelson and Her- nandez? fls it possible that there could be another such assemblage of brain and brawn as UA Company? No!-of course not! From these facts and the detail that A Company has won the competitive drill this year. we deduce this statement: A Company is far superior to any other organization in the battalion. The truth of this statement can be ascertained at commencement by the readers of this book. Notice the snappiest company in close order drill-ask which it is and the answer will be A Company. Notice the company who puts the greatest amount of vim and dash into extended order work-ask which it is and the answer will be HA Company. Notice the company with the neatest uniforms and the best line at parade, ask which it is and the answer will be AU Company. We lay emphasis on the standing of our company for the youngsters in B and C companies are wont to dispute our claim. They really think they are better than we are and will continue to say so, but XYords to the best of deeds too cold breath gives. A Company was organized the lirst day here in September, and ever since that day we have worked for perfection. Constant repetition has produced a highly satisfactory result which, although not quite per- fection, gives us all a feeling of work well done. NVe are nearing com- mencement with an ever- , growing anticipation of a tri- f umph on the greatest day of f gym ,mx the year.
