One week of school has passed. All
of the work Reorganization and clas.
sification being completed, this week
marks the opening of year of real
earnest work.
Mcmillan is now a military high
school. Thirty minutes of real mill
tary training is given all boys every
day. Captain Julian c. Stoy is COM
mandant of the Mcmillan Cadet
Corps. While all boys are taking mil
itary training all girls are required
to take physical training.
The Mcmillan Band furnished the
music for the Odd Fellows picnic at
Santa Fe, and will play at the cele-
bration September 18th. This year
Prof Stoy has introduced a new fea-
ture, the beginners band, which is
to insure a band after a majority OF
the members of the regular band
graduate this year.
At the patriotic celebration, Sept
IS, given in honor of the departing
soldiers, Mcmillan will play big
part. Besides her band, the student
body will parade with the other
schools of Mexico. Mcmillan will b
about the biggest one thing present
Athletics will soon be in sway

team last season, is already maxim
plans for some track work this ia
Under this expert coaching McMilla
will doubtless have winning team
next spring.

creased. Total enrolment at pres,
ent is about $50. The Seniors nov
