Upholding the 1'.C7.I. tradition. the cadets put on an excellent display for the inspecting olticcr, Vaptain Mann. Credit for the line exhibition should be given to ltr. Craig. the instructor. Early in the year he called for volunteers for the officers' training course and as a result, he was able to turn out highly trained ofticers for the corps. Inspection day soon arrived and three hundred and ninety-seven cadets were on the grounds ill front of the school, ready to go through their drill. Ceremonial and platoon drills were smoothly carried out. Then a group of cadets gave a fine exhibi- lion of tumbling. The bugle band, headed by E. Westbye, led the corps, and as in other years, rendered yeoman service for the occasion. l After the inspection was completed the inspecting officer addressed the cadets, and complimented them for their fine exhibition. This year the I.O.D.E, shield was awarded to Number One Platoon. commanded by H. Botnick.

At the extreme end rose the orchestra stand placed aganist a background of black and silver. Directly behind it, on a black background stood a modernistic tree. flanked by two huge red candles, and from either side of that stretched long black panels on which sailed majestically along over blue waves. two red ships with silver sails emblazoned with the double insignia of the school. P.C.I. and P.V.S. Silver fish danced merrily out of the Water. Above, blue and silver clouds glided along. Two large baskets were filled with artificial snowballs and icicles which caught t.he light as they floated from the balcony. Sweet music and soft light lent an air of enchantment to the whole. Supper was served about midnight in the Upper hall, the catering being capably handled by Hooper's, whose dainty refreshments were indeed welcomed. -GQ-
