W' v f-Cs OFFICERS' CLUB AT MCKINLEY 1 4' Teclifi' Oiflicersl Club By Captain Hugh H. Hussey, H. S. C. Qfasx HAS been true in the past and Qu' HMS 571 will always be true in the future contact with the personnel of the High School Cadets of Washington ibm? gi: . . . . . f jfgu Lifes' that there is no one coming into HART' wfxv-c n . who does not notice its spirit and force. No- where is there greater evidence of spirit and personality than among the officers. The Tech Officers' Club is, each year, prac- tically reinitiated. By this it is meant that noii only do the names on the Club's roster change, but with each succeeding change there comes new spirit and force. The names of the Club of '27 are of little importance, but rather 'the deeds and acts that those names stand for. For the first time in several years a success- ful dance was giveng for the first time a new force was applied in order to secure uniforms for financially-embarrassed Cadetsy for the first time a hand was taken in the actual execution of Cadet affairs. All this presents an accurate view of the spirit in a material Way but it is necessary to associate with, to listen to the ofbcers to realize their real spirit, their ex- treme boyish ability to laugh off troubles, their ability as men to shoulder responsibilities.

B Comments by the Captains at McKinley Mr. Frank C. Daniels Principal of Technical High School Company C By Captain W. O. Blandford, H. S. C. Talking about one's company before the Competitive Drill is a remarkably delicate subject. As captain of the company, I have a chance to see the men from a different angle from anyone else. In the beginning, we had very poor spirit, but as time Went on the morale and spirit grew, until, at the present date, it is as good, if not better, than I could ever have hoped to obtain in the short space of time allowed in the school year. We are going on the field with the hope of coming off with the Flag. There are twenty-odd com- panies, cherishing the same hope. May the best man win. Company A By Captain Alvin G. Wassman, H. S. C. From the very beginning, although handi- capped at first by blank files, Company A has shown the grit and determination which makes Tech Spirit famous. Every man has worked earnestly, from the two lieutenants down to the lowest private, and Tech may rest assured that the members of Company A when they march on the field May 24th, are doing their utmost to bring the flag back to the school where it was made. Company B By Captain Hugh Hussey, H. S. C. Since all captains are, at midyear and after, extremely hopeful, it is better to write of the deeds and not the hopes of Company B. First, Company B, of '27, for the Hrst time presented Tech with a first place war game team. Second, this company was unofficially announced as best in the annual R. O. T. C. inspection. Third, it was the third place com- pany in the Honor Guard Competition. As for the hopes, suffice it to say that B, like every company at this time, expects to be the winner of the Competitive Drill. Company H By Captain Robert C. Horne, H. S. C. Company H, the smallest at Tech, generally known as the war babies, is rapidly advanc- ing to a point where wel can put before the judges a well-finished company. Although we are small, we have the spirit which will put us over the top. We know that as we go on the field as exhibition company, our schoolmates will be with us. Our goal is the same at that of every other company. If we win, we have reached the topg if we don't, we know we have done our best for Company H and for Tech.

Dir., Elmer S. Newton By Captain Samuel Dr. Elmer S. Newton Principal of Western High School fre express its appreciation for the yi, ' services rendered to the welfare of ii'-My this Battalion by Dr. Newton. In the early part of October, 1926, the VV'estern VVestern High School Battalion wishes to take this 'opportunity to ,kgs if Q. 1,2 t as Sugar, H. S. C. companies were formed, under the guidance of Dr. Newton and Major Payne, the military instructor at lfVestern. They made it easy for the Cadet ofhcers to take up their new po- sitions. Whenever there was any trouble of any sort, if it was brought to Dr. Newton, it was ironed out immediately. Dr. Newton takes an active interest in the Battalion. He keeps in touch with each Captain and learns how the companies are progressing. If any difficulties arise, he immediately confers with Major Payne to see if they cannot be settled. The entire faculty has also taken an active interest in the Western Cadet Corps, and in every possible way has helped the Battalion along. Although disappointed in the outcome of the Battalion and Regimental Competitives, the student body is still heartily supporting the Cadet activities and a great majority of them will be supporting the companies on May 2-1 and 25. This year the various activities have not con- flicted as they did in former years. The Ca- det Corps has supported the athletes and the separate companies have been working to- gether in order that VVestern might derive the most from the various competitives. At the time that this magazine goes to press, the results of the Company Competitive will not be known. However, win or lose, Western will have the satisfaction of knowing that every one in the Cadet Corps did his best.
