As we now have three companies here we shall want a major, three captains, and six lieutenants, making a total of ten officers.

After that each company shall choose its own corporals and sergeants.

The company marching best on parade the following Saturday shall have the honor of carrying the flag until after the annual encampment, which this year will begin a month from to-day." At the mention of the annual encampment the cadets set up a cheer.

The outing was looked forward to with great interest.
"Where are we going this year ?" asked George Granbury.
"It's a secret, I believe," answered Larry Colby.

"But I am pretty certain that we are going further away than usual." "I hope we go into the mountains." "Or along some other lake, where the fishing is fine," put in Tom.
"Yes, that would suit me, too." The announcement concerning the examination in military matters also caused much talk, and many of the cadets began at once to study military tactics harder than ever, while drills became a pleasure instead of a hardship.
"I'm going to win some kind of a place," said Larry earnestly.
