THE TIVIG CADET The Corps carried out its training this season with even more than the usual vigour. the keenness of all ranks assuring high standard of proficiency in less than the usual time. The battalion, with band and signal section, was inspected on the afternoon of October l7th under ideal weather condi- tions which no doubt were responsible for the presence of a larger number of parents and friends than usual. The ceremonial was performed without a hitch, the excellence of the dressing and the precision of movement being deserving of the highest praise, and receiving it. Ceremonial not only shows the troops at their best, but also gives them the ideal opportunity of feeling themselves a unit actuated by one will. Company drill also was excellently per- formed. Capt. Bill Moore and A Coy. are of course, veterans, but the performance of B Coy. was little, if any, inferior to that of their seniors, although Capt. Jack Ames had commanded for only two previous parades. The signal section under Lieut. Colin Rous sent their message through the four stations by semaphore, morse flag, buzzer and lamp, in the brief time occupied bv the companies in P. T. and comoanv drill. The band, which had been under the sole instruction of Lieut. W. F. Woodley, set an excellent step, Massed physical training, directed by lnstructor John Huggett was very effective. Cadet lVlajor R. L. Hennessy, who last year held A Coy. together in his position of right guide, now in command of the bat- talion, received the well-earned commenda- tion of the inspecting officer, Capt. Nl. Cumming upon the confidence and efhciency of his officers, and the loyal and earnest sup- port of all ranks. Capt. Cumming's remarks are always to the point-not stereotyped for all occasions, when therefore, they included a request for a whole holiday, they carried conviction to the point of success. RIFLE TEAM The rifle team is a branch of the Cadet Corps, since the Militia Department sup- plies rifles, ammunition and targets. All members of the Corps are given an oppor- tunity to compete, the twenty whose pro- gress is most satisfactory constituting the team. The Athletic Association recognizes rifle shooting as a school sport, and awards colours for performance based upon matches in which other corps compete. The Dom- inion Marksmen competitions provide con- tinuous shooting throughout the season with awards of bronze, silver, and gold badges
