The 'Third Battalion Staff, Fourth Regiment Western High School .ai I Vi ' . Lusunzwwr Hcunv BQAGG ADJUTANT vlfxuon, ALEXAN om, Gonoon COMMANDER. Ml The Third Battalion, Fourth Regiment By Major Alexander P. Gordon, H. S. C. HE Third Battalion of the Fourth Regi- ment is made up of three spirited companies, F, L and M. Although it contained only two in October, with little prospect of having three. the men worked hard and when our rookie company joined us we were ready for anything. The Third Battalion has. perhaps, one of the greatest records in the Battalion Competition: that of winning more first places than any other l57l Battalion. Our first victory was in l9ZZ under Major Hoffman, when the competitive for Bat- talions was started. Skipping a year we took first place in 1924, 1925 and since then we have tried, but without material success. Our am- bition was to bring back first place for the Fourth Regiments smallest Battalion, but al- though we failed. our Battalion showed good drilling, perseverance and excellent spirit.

The Second Battalion Statll, Fourth Regiment Western High School Cxlnzsr uturtmm' CYIQST UEUTENANT cflfmorz stoner QICHAQDS MQZQETISBW COMMANDER TH3UA3Tai.'iEtl?l The Second Battalion, Fourth Regiment By Major George Richards, H. S. C. HIE Second Battalion of the Fourth Regi- ment was formed in 1928, then consisting of companies F, G and H. During the first two years this organization remained the same as when it was formed, but in the last two years, the enrollment of cadets in the Fourth Regiment has been below standard. For this reason F company, the last company organized at West- ern, was disbanded and K company was added to the Battalion organization, This year the Second Battalion is composed of three good companiesz each one is outstanding. G com- pany represented the Fourth Regiment in this year's Honor Guard Competitive while H com- pany missed this privilege by only a slight margin. With these accomplishments in mind every Cadet of the Second Battalion has high hopes in regard to the approaching competitives. l56l
