Military Science and Tactics. Captains Strecker and Johnson were at the same time appointed Assistant Professors. The Medical Company, 2d Regiment, existing at that time, was under the direction of Dr. Yater. The year 1921-22 marked a busy one for the Corps. Two companies assisted at the Wash- ington Monument Ceremonies on February 22, 1922. The Brigade acted as guard of honor at the inauguration of President Harding, and marched in the Grant Memorial Parade. Sev- eral officers took part in the procession at the burial of the Unknown Soldier. In the Fall of 1922, Capt. A. J. O'Keefe filled the position of Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics, vacated by Capt. Strecker. At the same time, Capt. johnson was detailed elsewhere, and Major B. O. Ken- nedy took his place. During this year and the next, selected companies participated at the Washingtoil Monument Ceremonies on Wash- ington's birthday. The two assistant professorships were again vacated in 1924, and were immediately filled by Major Maish for the lst Regiment, and Captain Judkins for the 2d Regiment. Major john G. Donovan, instructor of the 3d Regi- ment, was, in the Fall of 1925, transferred to the 1st Regiment, in place of Major Maish, resigned, while Major Raymond G. Payne was assigned to the 3d Regiment. This same year the system of Junior High School Cadet Drill was discontinued. In the Fall of 1926, Cap- tain judkins, 2d Regiment, was succeeded by Captain David Van Pelt. Now, for the fortieth time, the Competitive Drill is at hand. This drill is the largest event of the school year. All persons who are inter- ested in the Cadets have their minds centered on one cadet officer. This officer is the Bri- gade Adjutant who designates the winning company. The captain of the winning company re- ceives the Allison Nailor Medal. This medal was presented more than twenty years ago to the winning captain, and has been handed down each year since. The medal is kept by the winning captain from the time he wins it until he graduates, when he is furnished with a replica. This replica was presented iirst by Mr. Nailor and later by the Chamber of Com- nierce. As the forty-fourth year of the Wasllingtomi High School Cadet Corps draws to a close, I cannot but express the hope that the Corps will always be what the Secretary of War termed it: The model high school military unit of the United States.
