THE SECOND REGIMENT McKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL By LT. COL. JOHN W. FONDAHL, H. S. C. S THIS cadet year comes to an end, the officers of the Second Regiment look back upon their years in the corps with the satisfaction of knowing that, regardless of the awaids which they have received, they have attained the maxi- mum benelits from their training. They have become outstanding citizens in the school and the community, they have developed their leadership ability, and they have improved their character. ln all, they have achieved, as far as possible, the ultimate aims of the Cadet Corps. The regiment was characterized this 'ear b the excellent coo Jeration and com- me l Y l panionship among the olllcers and among the men. This spirit prevailed during this drills during the various schools and during the Saber and Chevrons Clubs meelinffs. 9 F 7 P P The Saber Club dances were the schoolis social highlights of the year. They were very well attended and were complimented by all for the excellent style in which they were put over. Financially successful, the dances furnished money to make contribu- tions to several school organizations, to present the school with a set of flags, and to sponsor an entertaining Cadet Night program. Col. Barkman was responsible more than any one person for the advancement of the regiment towards its present state. He has given all of the time possible in helping the ollicers perfect their units for the yearis competitions. Miss Hart, Miss Kingsley, and Mr. Krehbiel, as members of the faculty committee, have often aided us. We thank them all. l wish to thank every member of my staff for the faithful execution of his duties and for his willingness to cooperate with me. To the two majors and their staffs this appreciation is also extended. Every sergeant, corporal, and private is to be complimented on the part he has played in developing our regiment. Each one is responsible for a small and necessary part of the whole. This yearis ofhcers only wish that all of the future olhcers of the Second Regiment may enjoy their commissions as 111uch and profit by them as much as we have during this past year.

BRIGADE BRIEFS Colonel David Rhodes has become a familiar figure to us all this past year. His appearance and manner in dealing with the Brigade have well befitted his rank. However, several of his admirers have noticed that his apparent seriousness is often deceiving. We wish to congratulate him also as to his choice of a companion at the frequent cadet dances. Reports have come out that it was quite difficult to get a date for the Brigade Ball over at Anacostia. First Lt. Elmore from way down in Rockhill, S. C., practically held a monopoly. HCl'6,S hoping that little Ceorgiev Lenwell of Company D, Central, will be able to see over the top of his saber by the time he becomes Colonel. Ask First Lt. Volland at Tech why his car f?J is called Desdemona. Desdemona has few rivals in this world, one of them possibly being Major Edward Wolf's red trimmed, five passenger and up, Chevvy. Speaking of cars, did anyone see Colonel Rhodes and three of his highest ranking ofhcers pushing a car in the late hours of the night towards Four Corners? Or did anyone see the Sixth Regiment turn out to repair Lt. Col. Jack Bennett's Hat tire one afternoon after drill? What Captain of what company of Central expresses his artistic soul by crocheting? ' Major David Jenkins of Anacostia has more than one reason for dismissing his battalion in the afternoons. The major must rush home to milk the cows and feed the chickens on his farm. One of the prize contributions to the Corps this year has come from Wilson. There, every ranking officer has chosen a sponsor for his unit. With the permission of the principal and the yearbook staff, the picture of the sponsor will appear with the unit's picture in the yearbook. At the end of the year it is planned to have each sponsor review her unit before the school. Maybe this will be a future tradition of the Corps. Did you hear Lt. Bill Gill of Centralis Band tromboning through the auditorium? We are informed that a stretcher followed after. Mr. Warren, instructor of the Brigadeis new addition at Calvin Coolidge. can well say that he is acquainted with his men. He has not only learned the names of all the cadets, but hc has taken photographs of them as well. Captain Arthur Sands, on the eve of the Regimental and Battalion drills. was found to be in the hospital. The officers of Tech were notified that for the present only immediate members of the family and f'Betty', might see him. Captain Sands was one of the Brigadeis outstanding sharpshooters this year. Nobody knew where the Colonelss staff disappeared to on a recent visit to Anacostia. It was probably only a coincidence that during the visit the girl cadets were drilling at the same time as the boys. If you have a spare slug, give Captain Bernard 4'Absent-Mindedv Harrison of Company A, Central, a ring to remind him that today is the Competitive Drill. As both a cadet and a leader in his class First Sgt. Allan Johnson, Co. D, of the Sixth Regiment stands out. He has been elected president of the senior class and is also vice president of the school. Captain Robert Kaufman of the Second Regiment in addition to his cadet work has one out for athletics and is recognized as uite a track star. g tv q Who is the common object in both the minds of Captain Girard Jetton, Co. A, of Calvin Coolidge, and of Captain Ben Fisher of Roosevelt's Band? Lt. Col. John Anderson of Central plans to resign,-if the duties of his office entail the light fantastic. We hear that the Brigade Officers held a little tea-party at G. W. U. on April 5. We wonder if this will be repeated in June. Shrfy-Iwo
