Evening star., 1901-06-05

the Business and Western High schools
had a good time before saying goodbye
for the year.
Company II First on Field.
Company H, from the Western High
School, the first to take the field yes
terday afternoon. It's work before the
judges seemed to be entirely satisfactory
to it's friends in the stand. Company G was
next to appear and then followed Company
F. The Eastern companies appeared con-
fident of success, and did their respect
i've rooters The contest was ended with
the drill of Company l., from the Business
won a drill. but the fight it made yester-
day for the prize flag was a determined
and most credita bic one. AS each company
marched from the field the officers were
presented with huge bouquets.
The boxes were occupied yesterday by
members of the board of education, school
officials, the District Commissioners, Off
GERS of the army and the National Guard
and prominent citizens. One who attracted
considerable attention was Capt. Harry
Leonard of the United States marine corps,
who was formerly lieutenant colonel of the
regiment of High School Cadets. He dis
tinguished himself several months ago dur
ing the fighting il China, losing his left
arm in the fray.
Suggestion Made.
The suggestion was made yesterday by
military man among the spectators, and
it was approved by a number of others,
that the experiment be tried next year of
having the drill of the cadets really a COM
petitive one. The plan pointed out is to
require the companies to drill an unknown
program, and not, as has heretofore been
the case merely repeat in the presence Of
the Judges and the spectators number of
movements that have been carefully re-
hearsed in a given order for two months,
the captains having memoriZed the pro-
gram and each cadet knowing just what
command Is coming next. The opinion
seems to be that the competition would be
more interesting and more of test were
the companies called upon to execute an
unknown program.
Lieut. Col Burton R. Ross 1st Regiment,
District of Columbia National Guard, the
drill instructor of the cadets was warmly
congratulated by the officials present yes
terday on the excellent drill of the COM
panies.
