The Winners , ir 9 3 o HHN The First Regiment By Lieutenant Colonel John P. Wiley, H. S. C. llli FIRST RIEGIMENT has done unusually well this year. It has had success in all competi- tions thus far. Before speaking of the Regi- ment itself, I feel that I ought to say a few words about the Regimental Staff. It seems to me that the staff does quite a bit of work for which little credit is given. The l929-30 staff has done its duty well. They were not handicapped by the absence of Major Donovan as was the staff of the previous year. They have performed their regular duties with consistency and proficiency. Also, they have done quite a bit of other work. In the R. O. T. C. inspection of the First Regi- ment, they officiated along with the Brigade Staff. In both squad competitions, they were of great assistance. In the guard of Honor Elimination they acted as a board of judges with Major Donovan at the head. In the Battalion practices and drill, the staff was of invaluable assistance to Major Donovan. And last but most important, the staff performed outstandf ingly in the Regimental Competition in which we were so successful. At this time I should like to outline the accomplishments of the Regiment and its com- l4ll ponent units. Company C won the Brigade Inspection with Companies B and E placing 3d and 4th respectively. Company B's war game team won second in the Brigade Finals after tieing Business for first. One of the most important achievements of the Regiment and its affiliated units was the success of the Band. Under the able leadership of Captain George Bogikes, it has brought the cup home to Central. The outstanding qualities of the Band officers is emphasized by the fact that they were with- out the assistance of a service man to help them in the drill side of the work. Also, Company B placed fourth in the Honor Guard finals and the First Battalion placed third in the Battalion Competitions. Of course. we must not forget the Regimental Drill in which the First Regi- ment showed its true worth by winning first place. Viewing this record as a whole, I should say that it has a consistently high average which is hard to equal. I feel that the Regiment has worked hard with the old pep and spirit of Central, and that it deserves all the honors that it has won or hopes to win.

BURKART Commander JOHN A. STACEY JOHN E. HARRINGTON Sergeant Major Quartermaster Sergeant First Battalion, First Regiment By Major Bob Burkart, H. S. C. TTENTION T o ORDERS! commands Lieu- tenant Kenneth D. Morris, Battalion Adjutant. After the men have passed in review, the major has a message for the members of his command: Men! with the deepest regret, I, your Major, bid you farewell. Throughout the year we have coordinated our interests and ambitions, pro- ducing such great efforts, light, and zeal that could not be touched by any other unit in the Brigade. The officers, non-coms, and privates have been infallible in their cooperation with the battalion staff and their respective companies. No one will ever realize how influential and H21 pleasant a step my majority has been in my life. Your hard work, intangible spirit, and valuable friendships have been the nucleus of the line reputation which the First Battalion now enjoys. My only hope is that you will remember me as I shall you-a Comrade in the Corps. Naturally, we are desirous of having the First Place Company come from our Battalion, but win or lose, we wish God-speed and best of luck to every company and captain. Farewell as your commander but not as your comrade.
