1L Owing to the fact that there was

this year. Student leadership
is good but tne nature of the
work is such; importance of
it is so vital that a. full time
secretary is necessary to pat
across an adequate Christian
program.

CADET REGIMENT '
HAS BANKER YEAR
(Continued from Page One)
drilled in close order work as many
men in the regular army, it was a sur
prise to some, but the precision and
steadiness with which the companies
went thrcugh their maneuvers seemed
to fully emphasize this statement. Be
cause of lh raft. which w&ld take
away many men from the regiment,
compel was held earlier than usual, so
it was thought best to continue drill
after com pet. to the close of school.
For this reason, as well as because it
is impossible to tell with any degree
of certainty who will be back next
year, the ofSeers for next year were
not announced the day of com pet, and
the military department will probably
not be in a position to announce ap
pointments and promotions until the
composition of next year's regiment is
more definitely known.
Taking the year as a whole, with a
world war stimulating every one to
make the most of his opportunities
for preparation for coming army life,
it might be well said that never before
has the cadet regiment had so ouch
snap and finish in the way its work has
be" done.
