Crerar who spoke to the cadets of this city in the auditorium of one of our larger schools where Walkerville Collegiate was repre¬ sented by our officers and N.C.O. s under the command of our new O.C.. Norm Marshall. He had the coveted privilege of meeting the general on behalf of our Cadet Corps. We were proud of Norm, who was, by far, the smartest Cadet Offi¬ cer to meet the Commander of the Cana¬ dian Army. Norm holds the respect and loyalty of every cadet at Walkerville Collegiate and we will support him to the limit. Under his leadership, we shall go forth on in¬ spection day, confident in our ability to carry on the traditions of our Corps, striving to maintain our record of pro¬ ficiency. This year holds forth great promise in cadet work, and we aim to put on the best show yet in all fields of our endeavour, keeping in mind always the main purpose of cadet training given in the words of the Royal Canadian Army Cadet Motto “ACER ACKRBORl —as the maple, so the sapling.
