24 Field Day. The full Corps Field Day was held on May 12th, 1943, in Devonshire and Smith ' s parishes. Dellwood, Mt. St. Agnes and Saltus comb ' ned ' n an attack on the Whitney Institute via the Middle and South Shore roads. Opposition was provided by the remainder of the Cadet Corps. Saltus Company performed their task efficiently, their inter-communication working smoothly. After lunch the cadets saw some Ministry of Information films together with some comedies in the Whitney Institute As- sembly Hall. Night Operations. Last November the whole Cadet Corps attacked Government House at night, the Home Guard providing the opposition. The cadets very efficiently worked their way past imaginary outposts and all surrounded Government House at the appointed hour. However, the final attack was somicwhat dis- appointing to the Cadets for, whereas the Home Guard blazed away with blank cartridges, the cadets were unable to retaliate in like manner, not having been provided with ammunition. Air Training. This section of the cadets was divided into two groups — senior and junior. The junior syllabus covers all the work necessary to enable the cadets to proceed to the senior group the next year, whilst the seniors prepare for and even go beyond the requirements for entrance to the R.C.A.F. Instruc- tion in aircraft recognition, wireless, mathematics, navigation and meteorology is provided. Several very interesting lectures have also been given by men from the Fleet Air Arm at Dockyard. Shooting. Shooting this year has been seriously handicapped by a shortage of .22 ammunition. Every senior cadet, however, had the opportunity of firing at least five rounds during the last two terms. Cadet Nugent turned in the best card for these early rounds with a score of 78%. A present of 200 rounds of ammuni- tion made it possible to hold the Annual Inter-House Competition. Darrell House finally won the competition with a score of 250 points. Watlington and Saltus Houses tied for second place with 220 points and Butterfield House socred 208 points.
