We would here like to thank Mr. Jackson for all he has done for the platoon, as he is resigning from his command and handing it over to R. R. L. Pryer, who becomes a 2ndLieu tenant. Other appointments made this term are :To be Sergeant: Corporal Buckler. To be Lance-Corporals : Volunteers Long, Barker and Ruddock (P. H. 0.). The platoon has taken part in two Company exercises this term, and has also received instruction in bayonet fighting and other weapons. On the last Sunday of term a shooting match was arranged between the school platoon and No. 4 platoon of the Company, which was won by the school with 248 points to 232. Next term training will be intensified, and we hope activities will be continued at least as strongly as they have been this term, which has been most successful.
A. T. C. The newly formed Air Training Corps flight has been very active during the past term, and has nearly doubled its size by the addition of a considerable squad of recruits at the beginning of the term. All members of the flight have now received uniform, and considerable quantities of technical equipment have been arriving. At the beginning of the term the flight was inspected by Air-Commodore Sir Sydney Smith, who addressed the flight after the inspection. He was very pleased with the drill and the turn-out of the flight, and particularly of the new recruits, who had only joined a fortnight previously. Throughout the whole term parades were held three times a week, and a variety of subjects were taught. Several members of the flight have made visits to an R.A.F. station during the term, where a certain amount of flying was obtained. As weather improves next year, we hope to make these visits a regular feature of our training. We welcome to the flight this term Mr. Moore, as our Warrant Officer. He has already done great service for the flight as regards equipment, and we hope we shall see much of him. 27
