The Colby Military Company drilled a
large part of Saturday afternoon with a
-reassignment OF squads. corporals, SER
geants, guides, li%eutenants, etc. Platoon
formations and movements were a greater
part of the work done. If Lieut.. A. r.
Rogers is called away on duty with Co.
III, a probability which seems entirely
likely, it is expected that a regular army
captain (retfreD will attend to the WORK
of drilling for the rest of the year.
Many of the students who had enlisted
in the naval reserve were called to their
posts on Friday and Saturday. Harris

ers expect their calls at any minute. Tine
students in Co. H, medical corps or other
wise, have put themselves in preparation
to mobilize at any time and all their worE
has been arranged for that purpose.
When all the naval reserve students go
any the infantry adjuncts leave the COL
,ege it is believed that at least 80 students
will have answered the call. This Is all
entirely separate from the 1o men VINO
drill in the Colby Military Company.

The first game of the aso comes
next Thursday, April 10, Patriots day,
and a large crowd is expected to wit
ness this contest with University of
Maine. as that is the day Of h annual
Junior Promenade in the evening.
All track work is called off for the
season, and as most other colleges have
all called off their schedules 1t looks
like an absolutely blank year in the
track games.
Owing to paramount interest in mat
ters military. the local production by
the Colby Dramatic Club has been
cancelled for this season.
Plans are being made by the Senior
class officers for graduation exercises
and the several committees and officers
are husily engaged in their various du-
ties, although the war will have a great
effect on the event. it is planned to
carry through the regular Commence
ment program.

strings but Colby ran away with a %
pin margin on the last string and that
