THE JOURNAL the senior cadets are to be given rifle practice. The captains are be- ginning to get their companies into shape in expectation of the june drill. lt is now nearly time for the cadets of the class of 1923 to receive their honorable discharges. Every one of these men has benefited from his four years of military training. He has learned to obey the commands of his superior officers, one of the most important obligations of a cadet, he has mastered the fundamentals of military training: and he has been in a position to make many friendships. The Taunton High School Cadets have gained the present high standard which is theirs for one reason: they have had one of the most efficient military in- structors of any preparatory school in this part of New England, a man with an aptitude for instilling discipline in a boy, a man whose punctilious efforts have created the battalion which we now have-Major Norris O. Danforth. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB lTH suchatloodof clubs and activities, the students of the commer- cial branches, not to be left out of the swim, formed a Commer- cial Club. Their one meeting was in March, when the members listened to Miss Murphy's talk on her European travels and to a radio concert. Although there was no organization made, and no officers elected, this excellent beginning foretells a successful Commercial Club for next year. 86
