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.

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.

Eastern HIS year is the forty-fourth anni- versary of the organization of the rx Washington High School Cadets, 'V when two companies were formed and were drilled by a Central High School teacher. Interest in such an organiza- tion is evidenced by its growth. There are now 24: companies, embraced in three regi- ments, the third having been formed in 1922. We are fortunate in having as our military in- structor Major Raymond G. Payne, whose pa- tience and encouragement has been the chief factor in building up and maintaining the win- ning spirit which is so manifest in each com- '-eiq mfr, N594 NWN... in fjfafjl polls:- . fs..f'f1 pany this year. It seems evident that the friendly competition this year will be keener than ever. The Third Regiment feels confi- dent it will have the winning company. The boys have done and are doing splendid work. It is difficult to determine which is the best battalion or company. We must await with confidence the decision of the judges when we meet on the Competitive Fieldywhen We shall put forth our best efforts, such as have brought to us the coveted prizes of first place thirteen timesg second place, six timesg and third place, five times. We hope to keep up this good record.
