iw Matheny O'Kane Freeman Suckow 5253 F S. H. S. MILITIA COMPANY At the beginning of the year a company was organized among the boys for military drill. Mr. Freeman, the man- ual training teacher, Who has had several years experience with the National Guard was chosen as instructor. The boys were all enthusiastic and several squads could be seen at almost any time of the day. The rivalry for the L-Psitlon of officers and non coms became intense, and the c.'fferent manuals were read and reread. After several weeks of drill, Mr. Freeman appointed Vernon Suckow captain. Armond Matheny first lieutenant and Don O'Kane second lieutenant. . The company drills on Monday and Wednesday imme- diately following school. A great interest Was taken es- pecially at the first of the year, as the training would have been of use to the participants if they should enter the ser- vice. It is generally believed that drilling improves the mind and stimulates health and for this reason it is given in the high school. Next year it is expected that the drill will be even more successful than this year, since uniforms and equipment will probably be Secured.
