Q - time SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR CADETS The year 1920-1921 has been a very successful one for the Cadet Corps. As it was the first year of the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, some time was required to get started, but under our new instructor progress was rapid as soon as the work of organizing the battalion, appointing officers and giving out equipment was completed. The battalion was composed of three companies A. B and C. Each cadet received a uniform, con- sisting of a garrison cap, two shirts, coat, breeches, spiral puttees and shoes. The regiment in Kansas City was under the command of Major Samuel Smoke, and the in- structor at Westport was Sergeant Otto Boman of the U. S. Army. The work taken up followed the regular R. O. T. C. schedule. Close and open order drill, minor tactics, signalling and rifle work from the Small Arms Firing Manual were taken up. A crack platoon, composed of one squad from each company, was under the command of Lieut. Leland Reeder. This platoon competed in the an- nual field day competitions. During the last year the battalion has improved Wonderfully, and next year, since the work inci- dent to establishing a new organization in the schools is over, the best Cadet Corps ever seen in this city will be the Reserve Officers Training Corps. In the annual competition among the cadets of the four high schools the Westport battalion carried off the honors by winning first place in the company comipetitive drill. Company A, CBP' tain Joe Markley, was given the decision. The Westport crack platoon, First Lieut. Leeland Reeder, was second, and Joe McCaughey and Edmlund Platt won third and fifth places respec- tively in the individual competition. As a result of the victory of the Westport Cadets Major Edwin D. Peake was appointed colonel of the Kansas City Cadet Corps and Cap- tain Joe Markley was advanced to the rank of major.
