The First Battalion, T hirol Regiment Eastern High School FIRST LIEUTENANT SAMUEL H. ROHRER Adjutant FIRST LIEUTENANT JAMES B. GRAHAM Quartermaster MAJOR RUSSELL F. DAIKER Commander JOHN A. BELT JOSEPH M. SMITH Sergeant M a yor Quartermaster Sergeant The First Battalion, Thirdl Regiment By Major Russell Daiker, H. S. C. RIOR to 1927 Eastern had but one bat- talion, the Third Regiment being composed of a battalion from Eastern and one from Western. Eastern soon recruited more cadets and organized a Regiment of its own. The First Battalion is composed of companies A, B, and C. These companies, which are made up of the larger men, form uniform and smoothly working units. Company A started the year off right by winning second place in the annual Honor Guard competition. The officers of the First Battalion are a fine, l52l earnest, hardworking set of fellows. Two of the captains were lieutenants last year. All the oflicers are working hard, training their men to be line soldiers and oflicers. Through the helpful assistance of Major Payne, our military instructor, the men in the battalion are trained to a higher degree than has ever been reached before at this period of the year. With all their experience and training, some companies at Eastern should place highly in the competitive drill.
