Shut lx S - W- --- ----5 i QA jllllilitarp COMPANY E Company E was organized in 1905 and was the first military organization in the School. The present organ- ization is the outgrowth of the original Company E. Since competitive drill became an annual event in the School she has taken her full share of first prizes. This year the company is made up entirely of men who have had one or more years of drill. This, with the able staff of officers to lead them, should make a very good show- ing in the coming compete. Right face! Left face! We're the boys that set the pace. E! El E! COLORS: Blue and White H. B. P., lst Sergeant COMPANY F Company F was the second company to be organized in the department of Military Science at the S.of A. dating back to 1906. Last year she won first place in inter-company competitive drill, and not stopping there, won both first and second prize cups for individual merit, this leaving her with nothing more to gain. This is the only instance on record when one company took all offered prizes. More promotions were made to com- missioned and non-commissioned ofiicers from this company than from any other. This year with her efiicient oHicers she expects to keep up her standard in competitive drill and also make a good showing in the inter-company gallery meet for both of which the out- look is favorable.

C., 1st Sergeant COMPANY G Company G, organized in 1906, was the third com- pany of the School of Agriculture Cadet Battalion. Altho she has never won first place in competitive drill, she has won other honors more highly prized. Com- pany G has furnished more commissioned oflicers for the battalion than any other company. Last year she easily won first place in the inter- company gallery meet, and again this year is well able to hold the honored position. This year, with the efficient work of the officers and the cooperation of the men in ranks, Company G can and must hold her own and announce the victory with: Battalion Attention ! ! !

B., lst Sergeant COMPANY H Company H was the fourth company of the School of Agriculture cadets to be organized, first starting in the fall of 1907. As a baby Company H has taken high honors, leading the other companies in first competitive drill, having five in all. The first three years after her organization she came out first. This year, with H. Boyer, captain, E. Humphries, lst lieutenant, and W. Rolofson, 2d lieutenant, as oflicers, and a good group of new men, we hope to duplicate Company H's past accom- plishments and take due honors in Compet to the tune of: V Squads Right, Column Right, Company H is out of sight, Yell it out with all your might.

eShuclxS 1 ifll wnrkiger Rifles The Workizer'Rifles were organized in the school year of 1907-08 by C. J. Frankforter, who was then cadet major of the battalion. They were named after Capt. John G. Workizer, who was then the commandant. The Workizers are made up of men in the School of Agriculture who have had at least one year's drill, and they are usually officers and non-commissioned officers of the battalion. We have an enro'lment this year of foursquads and with the old time ginger we expect to give our com- petitors the worst drubbing ever heard of. The purpose of this organization is to make drill more perfect and interesting for those who take part. They also hold a competitive drill with a similar company known as the Pershings at the city campus. Drill is held once each week and it is very necessary for every man to be out, or he is apt to lose his place in the company. Interest has been very keen this year, owing to the fight for major, and it is known that the membership of the Workizers is taken into consideration in the promotions. , With Major A. B. Worthman as our leader, we expect to give the Pershings a race they will long remember. , COLORS: Green and Gold W, I F. H. R., lst Sergeant.

No social affair in the history of the School has been so Well attended and highly appreciated as was the Commissioned Of'Hcer's Ball of this year. At 6:30 the guests were ushered to the banquet board which was adorned with daffodils and smilax, displaying the school colors. A row of lighted candles down the center added to the splendor of the banquet table. Toasts were given by Commandant Parker, Principal H. E. Bradford, and Major A. B. Worthman. Lieut. E. E. Humphries was toastmaster. It is regretted very much that the speeches were not printed so that they could be reproduced here. The speaking was followed by a grand march, led by the regimental and national colors. The rest of the evening was given over to dancing. Those who did not dance were entertained at a theatre party.
