The pace set by Central's Banner Year is one that Central will have a hard time in ex- ceeding, but it is one which is being fast equalled. Captain Rodney Hatcher has led his com- pany F to great success so farg he has the Brigade Review and Guard of Honor Competi- tion hanging now in his belt. Much is ex- pected from his company May 25. Captain Stiinson, of the First Regiment Band, reports excellent progress. Central is just proud of them for having Won from Mc- Kinley. Major Donovan, Assistant Professor of Mil- itary Science and Tactics, is one of the reasons for Central's scoop of last year, he will be a great contributing factor this year also. Cen- tral, having started with one more company than usual and having filled the vacancies with February men, feels that she has nine almost equal chances of getting her eagle feathers in the big event.

Witli- out. this Staff there would be three entirely separate regiments of Ca- fwoff dets. Of necessity, the Brigade Staff cannot officially belong to any one school g it must belong to the Corps only.

The Colonel, whose rank is the highest be- stowed by the Corps, conducts a minute in- spection of every company in the Brigade at least once during the year. He commands the Corps in all Brigade formations and at public appearances. At other times he makes infor- mal visits to the regiments, supervising the drills. He issues general and specific orders from time to time, orders which he deems necessary and which are not under the admin- istration of the Professor of Military Science and Tactics and his assistants. The Brigade Commander's assistant is the Brigade Adju- tant, who has as his assistant the Brigade Ser- geant Major.

C. ,, f4-- 5 7 ,V.1 'gg Second Regiment of the Wash- ington High School Cadet Corps contains two battalions, one from 1' Q 'ye McKinley and one from Business 1 . - High School. The battalion from McKinley consists of four full, well-trained companies, while the Business battalion has in it two spirited companies, each of which needs only a few men to complete its roster. At the beginning of the present school year last September, a new military instructor was detailed to the Second Regiment. Captain Van Pelt jumped right into the thick of things and proved himself an excellent organizer and drillmaster, and every Cadet in the regiment knows now that he is every inch a soldier. The NVar Game Team of Company B, led by Captain Hugh H. Hussey, Jr., won the Final NVar Games Series this year. This is the first time the Series has ever been won by a Sec- ond Regiment Team, and we may attribute the victory to the patient, earnest instruction afforded the several teams by Captain Van Pelt. During past years the Second Regiment has been at a great disadvantage in not having a suitable place in which to drill. We have had to drill either in the streets adjacent to Mc- Kinley and Business or at the First Street Reservoir, which is covered with raised sewer outlets, which greatly inconvenience the com- panies at drill.
