From our ranks was taken one cadet to be a member of the Midwest All Con- ference Prep football team. Still three more were taken as players on Roosevelt's var- sity basketball team, one of them as captain. One of next year's co-captains for foot- ball was taken from A Company. We boast of the large number of our group chosen to participate in this year's rifle team matches. In competition with the other two large companies of our battalion we are proud to say we won the second quarter of the year by being awarded the highest number of points for excellence in the various phases of military drill, barracks inspections, and academic competition. Roosevelt's prize drill team, the Crack Squad, is composed of a very large number of cadets taken from our midst. Our company is under the supervision of Capt. LaMont, our Company Com- mandant. Our company commander, Cadet First Lieut. Spruce is responsible for the drill ability of each cadet in the company. Cadet First Sgt. Brand, L., is responsible for certain duties and has his own assigned tasks. Through conscientious and strenuous ef- fort we hope to come out on top and be able to call ourselves the Honor Company of 1941 and 1942. Acting Company Commander: Brand IMF: Guidon Bearer. Atkinson.

B Cgmpany if ak -nf ir ff f w af if if We are just B Company with a great tradition, proud of our records in the past, and eager to maintain them. Under the able leadership of First Lieut. Pellegrini, Second Lieut. Breskow, Sgt. Major Parsons, and First Sgt. Nelson, strenuous efforts were made to add our bit to the furtherance of that tradition. The future and compar- ative score will alone be the measure of our achievements. Our days on the campus, on the drill field, and in the classroom were days of work and play, days of loyalty and friendship, joys and disappointments. We are not making any claims for exceptional efficiency or unusual brilliance, but our record speaks for itself. We must not forget the days spent on the drill field, ruled by Major Rudolph. There We learned that respect and obedience were, and always will be, the school's first law. B Company was well represented by six lettermen on the football squad which ended up by taking the Midwest Prep Conference trophy. Also, we contributed six men to the rifle team. After starting off the new cadets with strange and inexperienced jobs, We com- menced working for another Honor Company pennant to add to our heavily laden guidon. Truly a valuable heritage has been created in this company, let Carry On be not merely a password, but-thenceforth-an inviolable order. Thirty
