Each Determined to Win
The companies at the Central High
School are doing very well, a marked i'm
provement in thejrs work being apparent
of late. The general belief is that all four
will pass under the wire well up among
the leaders. with one OF the quartet at the
front The captains "are officers Of ex-
perience and ability
Every member Of each company seems to
be possessed of that determination to win
which each captain has shown from the
moment he assum6H command The decla-
ration that the Central High School must
win this year inspires the boys with a
certain spirit and enthusiasm which. in
snap has almost perfected the movements
of the companies OF: The lst battalion
Companies F and G at the Eastern High
School have from the beginning of the
school year been: werlSfns hard for the COW
eted red ribbons. Strict discipline has
brought about excellent hdPiH and 'steatli-
ness to a degree that Ioutcias ses all the
other companies. it Is claimed The MEM
beers are working one man, having alb
solute confidence in their captains, and the
state ment is made that the other six COM
panies would better keep their eyes open
When one inquiries Of the members of
Companies F and G if they are going to
win, the men say they are. while the cap
tains assume knowing looks and say moth
ing.
Company H at the Western High School
is working hard and is determined to win
the pennant again this year. The COM
pany is composed of fifty members, which
is probably the largest number of any one
company in the regiment. The Western
High School is most enthusiastic in hoping
for the success of Company H, and Will
not be lacking in its support at the proper
time.
At the Business High School Company E
is working diligently for the contest and
with no thought, some believe, that
the course being limited to two years con-
sttutes a handicap to success. The stu
dents of the school have in mind the credit
that would be due Company h, command
ed by officers of only a few years OF eX-
perience, and made up Of more recruits
at the beginning of the year than any other
company, should it carry off the prize.
The Business School Cadets appreciate that
the drill must be won on the field, ana
they are firm in the belief that th-y can
demonstrate their ability to work 10 sue
cessful conclusion The members of Com
pany f are of the opinion that the con-
test this year will be closer than ever be-
fore and that is to their liking, as victory
in such a competition would be more imam
ordinarily praiseworthy.
