it was almost twenty years ago that the
cadets of the Washington High Schools be-
gan to give annual exhibitions of their mil
itary skill. The cadet organization was first
formed with two companies in 1882 by Pro-
fessor f. A. Paul. who was then principal
of the High Schools. These two companies
were stationed at the Central building.
which was then the only high school in the
city. The military spirit took strong
hold on the young men in the school. and
1t was not long before two more companies
were added. In 1885 the High School Bat
tallOn was OTSdUlZeu, Win IOuT companies
and with Major La Fetra in command.
When this organization was formed the
boys believed that they were the real
thing" in the military line. and the pride
which filled the hearts of the youthful
cadet when he was arrayed In fun regi-
mentals was regarded as good for the
school. 1t melted in the students addi-
tional interest in their work
The first exhibition drill was given in
1884 on the plaza In front of the Arlington
Hotel. The boys made a fine showing and
were received with uprOarious applause.
The prize drill feature was introduced in
1887 and awakened more interest in the
regiment and it's work. At the time 1t was
thought that there could not be greater in
terest in the High Schools than was man,

keen interest in the work of the corps,
and it is expected that the competition
will be exceedingly close.
The Ever-Present High School Girl,
The most interesting feature of the drill
to the casual spectator Is not the work
of the military organizations in the field,
but the manifestation of enthusiasm on
the part of the thousand or so of girls who
attend the high schools and who are stanch
partisans of the various companies, Each
organization has it's own colors, supplied
as a rule, by the girls. Every partisan
OF that company wears it's colors, and
every other company supporter believes it
to be his or her duty to cast word bricks
on every other organization. The girls
have formulated company yells, and, with
yards of colored ribbon streaming in the
breeze they make the drill ground the
most noisy place imaginable. The school
girls endeaVOr to get seated in groups,
all of school together, SO that their
concerted efforts to cheer their company
will have some effect.
The Regiments Officers.
The commanding officer of the High
School regiment today is Col. Robson De
S. Brown of Central High School. He is
a native of Iowa and is eighteen years of
age. He came to Washington with his par
ents in November, 1892, and entered the
graded schools. He reached the High
School in 1899 and joined the cadet regi-
ment as a private in Company c. The
officer in Company and last year was
