HISTORY fContinued from page 91 1937-The Woodrow Wilson Battalion increased in size so much that it was detached from the Fourth Regiment and was organized as the Sixth Regiment. Lieu- tenant William P. Trail was assigned as Military Instructor of the new regiment. The plan originated of giving a cup to the regiment whose companies averaged highest in the annual Competitive Drill. The Lieutenant Colonel, Principal, and Mili- tary Instructor of the successful regiment receive the cup during the final review. The cup was awarded first to the Fourth Regiment, Western High School. Lieutenant Joseph Murphy, military instructor of Western, died. 1938-The Anacostia High School Battalion, consisting of Companies A and B, was organized under the direction of Lieutenant Leslie Parmele. The new organization placed fourth in the Battalion Competitive. Lielenant George A. Hawkins assumed the duties of Military Instructor at West- ern High School, and Major William E. Barkman, who won the Competitive Drill in 1916, took over the same responsibilities with the Second Regiment at McKinley High School. 'I939-New Brigade Colors were presented to the Brigade at Roosevelt High School to replace the old ones which had been in service for sixteen years. 1940-Following the similar action of the United States Army the Corps adopted the new drill regulations. Captain Daniel Lloyd and Lieutenant Ralph Watt became affiliated with the Corps in the capacity of military instructors at Roosevelt and Eastern High Schools, respectively. Captain Lloyd replaced Lieut. Donald M. Brown at Roosevelt, who was relieved because of illness, Lieut. Watt replaced Captain Kelley who had been assigned to athletics. The Lions Club of Washington instituted the William Miller Memorial Medal, a replica of the Allison Nailor Medal, to be presented annually to the winning com- pany commander and to remain in his permanent possession. 1941-In December of 1940 Captain Paul L. Doerr was called to active duty at Headquarters of the Washington Provisional Brigade. Major William E. Barkman was temporarily appointed to replace Captain Doerr as Assistant IJ. M. S. 31 T. Shortly thereafter Major Barkman was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the Field Artillery Reserve. The Calvin Coolidge High School added to the Brigade a Battalion consisting of three companies in 1941. This unit is being trained by Roosevelt officers while it completes its first year of existence. Mr. Ryland M. Warren was appointed Military Instructor of the new Battalion. Mr. Thomas J. Holmes, new principal of the Calvin Coolidge High School, was called into service in his capacity of Major in the Infantry. Mr. John F. Brougher, assistant principal of Central High School, was appointed Acting Principal in his place. Lieut. ,Iustin F. Barnard replaced Captain Lloyd as Military Instructor of the Fifth Regiment at Roosevelt High School. This year the cadets aided in the Registration of Selective Service Draftees, the first since the World War. Thus the Cadet Corps has developed through fifty-eight years: from two com- panies at Central High School to thirty-two companies and eight bands distributed among the eight senior high schools. And so with each Pass in Review another group of young officers leaves the Corps, better fitted mentally, morally, and phy- sically to meet a life of greater advantages. Although the names on the rosters may change, the spirit of the Corps remains, and lives on as a river flows slowly toward the sea,-never changing, never ceasing. Filly-jour
