HAMANN SERGEANT MAJOR The Second Battalion, Third Regiment By Major Norual HE second Battalion of Eastern's own regiment came into existence in 1927-28 with three companies. G. Company, the rookie com- pany, contributed its share toward a third place victory in the Battalion Competition of 1928, and to further accentuate a brilliant start, this same rookie company proved itself second to none by winning the rookie competition feature of the Competitive Drill of 1928. l53l E.

S. C. N 1929, Major Donald Craig led the first battalion in the Annual Battalion drill and captured second place. Never in the history of the drill has an East- ern unit captured iirst place. Again in 1931, with a crack first battalion, We went on the field amidst an uproar in the stands and came off second best again-losing only to Central's second battalion. A lot of the credit for our showing goes to Lieutenant Sydney C. Hoffman, Adjutant, and winner of the Distinguished Non-Com. medal, last year. Captains Smith, Crow and Meads all attended Cadet Camp at one time or another, where they learned to be seasoned and capable com- manders. Captain Meads and his C company team rep- resented Eastern in the Brigade War Game finals, and Captain CroW's Company B, entered the Honor Guard Competition finals and took second place. At this time I Wish to Present Arms to those men in ranks and their commanders, for the splendid support they have given throughout the year. 1521
