as these three cadets are considered to be
almost certain candidates the commissioned
positions at this school will then be filled
AS to the officers of Company H, at the
Western High School, there has been but
little said. 1t is thought that all three of
the Heutenants will return, and that the
position of captain will be given to either
William H. Cassn or Lloyd D. Smoot In
addition to these ex-officers who expect
commissions again it is possible that c.
McGowan or Harry Walters may receive
an appointment.

ago, and combined these three languages
with mathematics throughout the whole

course at any of the three schools. There

be eliminated from the list, as the other
courses are entirely adequate

ably tie most successful of the ten, which
is due to large extent to the efforts of
the Central, who undertook its manage
ment in the fall and is responsible for its
publication this year, for had 1t not been
Tor him there would undoubtedly not have
been any issued at ALL for the want of
