WINTER DRILL.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As the corps shivers on Soldiers Field the student-soldier wonders what is going to happen when winter really comes. Hemenway Gymnasium used to harbor us successfully last year, but now that the Radio School lives there we cannot use it; even if it were available, it would be inadequate, for by December we will be too advanced to spend the winter in the gentle art of right facing. Like Germany, we must expand and like her we have no place to go. Somebody will have to think and do it thoroughly to solve the problem. Unless we find an armory in town or build one here the winter drill is sure to be a dismal failure and a glaring waste of time. It has been suggested to take Brattle Hall and drill there, but this is absurd; no company of one hundred men can manoeuvre there. Where one hundred men can dance, one hundred cannot drill. The problem still unsolved remains to be worked out before the thermometer takes another appreciable drop.
