The Third Regiment By Lieutenant Colonel Israel Shulman, H. S. C. EGRETFULLY and sorrowfully, we the Offi- cers of the Third Regiment, bid adieu to the High School Cadet Corps. For, during the past year, we have found pleasure in working faith- fully and zealously in order to keep our com- mand up to the high standard of the Corps. Besides having succeeded in improving the discipline and precision in drill, we have ad- vanced and carried out certain seemingly small duties which have increased interest in our regi- ment. Among these are The Dflicers' Club and The Ushering Staff. The Oflicers' Club is an organization which has acted for the benefiting of the Corps in all its phases. It has promoted many activities, the most outstanding of which is the Annual Regi- mental Dance. The members of this organiza- tion unselfishly offer suggestions for improving units other than their own. There is no spirit of antagonistic rivalry: all work with a single idea in mind: namely, the betterment of the regiment as a whole. This same spirit shows itself in a different form in the Ushering Staff, an association of approximately seventy selected men. This has operated efficiently and unostentatiously on various occasions both in and outside of school. The giving of pins to Cadets has only been originated recently. The pins are made of either gold or silver, the former denoting the rank of officer, thenlatter the rank of non-commissioned oiiicer and private. They are loaned to the Cadet until graduation, when they are presented as an emblem of an honorable discharge. Cadet nights are another feature of the Third Regiment. These are attended by Cadets and their parents and friends. They have proved to be entertaining as well as educational and we hope that they will be held in the years to come. All these deeds would not have been made pos- sible had it not been for our friends and advisers. We wish to thank, from the very bottom of our hearts, Mr. Charles Hart, princi- pal of Eastern High School, Major Raymond G. Payne, Military Instructor, Mr. H. Daniel Shorts and Mr. Thomas J. Holmes of the Mili- tary Committee. and all others who throughout our high school careers aided us in our accomplishments as members of the High School Cadets. f'To The Victor By Virginia Hoffman,- Betty Vay, E. H. S. SECOND PRIZE POE.M Lines and Lines of boys in blue, Marching there in the sun- Doesn't it thrill the heart of you, And make you proud of each one? Think how hard they've had to work, They couIdn't quit when they tired: Never a one of them tried to shirk- With grit those boys are fired. Mothers proud are in the stands, Amidst the rousing cheers: And though they loudly clap their hands, Their smiles are close to tears. Sweethearts. too. are in the stands, Watchi'ng their boys in blue: And every wildly waved arm-band Means Boy, I'm proud of you. ' l51l Out of these many lines of boys A few will victors be: Donit begrudge their well-earned joys- They've worked too, you see, When they're rewarded, don't boo them down, Give them a spirited song: To the victor belongs the crown- So just keep cheering along. Remember, if you're feelina blue, That each of those who's won- Though it's disappointed you- Is some proud mother's son. Lines and lines of bous in blue. Marching there in the sun- Dor-sn't it thrill the heart of you, And make you proud of each one?
