The stands of the red and white
Western rooters went wild when Maj.
Horace Pack, the brigade adjutant,
stopped in front of the Western COM
panies and notified Company NJ to
come forward to receive their well
earned award.
Gingerly the Company NJ boys.
many of whom are "midgets,"
shouldered their arms and snapped to
the front of the stadium.

P. Summerall. chief of staff; District
Commissioner Proctor l.. Dougherty,
Assistant Engineer Commissioner w.
E. r. Coven, DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent; Henry Gilligan, repre-
senting the Board of Education, and
Harry 0. Hine, secretary of the board,
to congratulate them.
A battery of cameras clicked as Gen.
Summerall pinned the coveted Allison
Naylor medal on the breast of Capt.
Chace. A replica of the medal will
be given Capt. Chace for his
possession.

summoned before the judges for their
purple and white ribbons and con-
gratulations upon their good showing.
Western Boy HOnored.
After the company awards First
Sergt. Weaver Garnett of Company M,
Western, was summoned before the
judges for the second time,, this time
to be awarded the medal for being the
distinguished non-commissioned off,
GER of 1927.
Col. Wallace M. Craigie, professor
in charge of military sciences and
tactics, then ordered the Is cadets in
various companies who won the ma
tional rifle award to come forward and
receive medals.
Assistant Superintendent of Schools

the drill, declared that the drill this
year was on a higher plane than ever
before in history. He highly praised
Col. Craigie upon the showing of the
cadets, as did Assistant Superintendent
Of Schools Robert L. Haycock.
The drill this year was held under
difficulties inasmuch as it rained both
Tuesday and yesterday. Despite this
handicap the cadets went through
their maneuvers like good soldiers
and their fellow students refused to
let their ardor be dampened by the
inclement weather.

dition that the guard Of honor com.
pany in March usually is placed in
the competitive drill. Company B of
Mckinley is commanded by Capt.
