trustee, has supervision over matters per-
tanning to military drill in the public
schools. allows the Central to enter her
seven highest ranking. cadets, the Eastern
four. and the Western three to compete
for the six regimentai positions. AS the
list Battalion is made up of Central COM

the date for the first game of the High

team meeting the other once.
