Announcement that two r. o. T. c.
Infantry companies, including band
of 80 pieces, have been entered in the
inaugural parade of March 4, has given
an impetus to the cadet battalion at the
Hilltop. Since the companies are to be
selected by competition, each company
commander is putting his men through
severe PAGES these days. The competi-
ton exists also among the bandsmen,
as there are about IS pieces in the Hill
top band and the parade regulations
permit only 80 pieces to be entered.
Lieut.. Col. Augustus F. Dannemiller,
q. S. A., in command of the r. o. T. C.
unit, has impressed upon the student

the country, including r. o. T. C. COM
mands, will feature the parade.
