POND S XYalter fznnp, the great Ameriean athlete and writer said, lt is not the yietory that counts so mueh, hut the spirit in whieh the game is played. For the last two years the 'I'aunton loothall squad have had their u as and downs hut always in vietory or defeat they have 7 . . . played the game aeeording to Mr. Camp's idea. foaeh llanolds, or Pat , as all know him, had the great task of form- ing inexperieneed men into suitable material to meet the fast teams ol' New Bedford, Broekton, Fairhaven, and Fall River. Having sullered defeat lmy these seasoned players, Taunton always Came up smiling ready for the next. It is an honor to win, hut a far freater honor to take de- l- feat as Taunton has. The class of '21 wish to extend to Pat and Clap- tain Cohen their heartiest wishes for a yietorious season for 1921.

THE JO URN AL g A change, during the past four years, has come about in the method of selecting the Major. Now he is appointed by the drill master, and not selected by competitive drill. Since certain cadets remain in the High School five years, they attain higher oH5ces than they would ordinarily get. This prevents a few of the regular four-year students from becoming commissioned officers. Therefore I recommend that the following amendment be added to the constitution of the Taunton High School Cadets: All men serving in the cadets for more than four years shall automatically be transferred to the ofhcers' staff and shall retain the same rank which they held in their fourth year, the same to be placed on their Honorable Discharge. Then the fifth-year man would be able to continue his drilling, and a fourth- year man could at the same time have what rightly belongs to him. The competition this year between the companies is very keen, both officers and privates thinking theirs is the better company. ,The keen- ness of this competition is shown not only in the company movements, but also in the manual of arms. The competitive drill this year will be held in june. The drills are now held in the State Armory, and the entire Battalion at the present time is looking forward to the june Drill, which, as all indications show, will be as great a success as were the two previous prize drills.
