He received After inspecting the cadets and band which were formed up in Ceremonial Review the squadron .marched past Col. Sanford who took the salute from the cadet parade comâ€" manders, Warrant Officers Glen Gracie and David Kent. This was followed by a demonâ€" stration by the drummers who were then followed by the drill team. The drill team under the direction of W.O. Glen Gracie showed great precision using rifles. Rifle drill is not normâ€" ally part of the training for air cadets but many like the epportunity to do it. ‘Then followed the highlight of the evening with the presenâ€" tation of awards to cadets of the squadron. Warrant Officer Glen Gracie received the Top Cadet Trophy and also his graduation certificate, the Anâ€" nual Inspection being his final parade. The Trophy was preâ€" sented to him by Col. Sanford. One of the most handsomely bound books that a person is ever likely to feast his eyes on, sits encased under glass in the Riverside Crematorium, 2300 Lawrence Ave. W., Weston. Well, actually there are three of these books, all hand made, the ealfâ€"skin covers and flyâ€" leafs, the bindings and even the paper. Joa Graham, manager directâ€" or of Riverside Crematorium and Cemetery, said the first time he had ever seen one was on a visit to England. In the "old country" he says, almost all the cremagoriums and cemeâ€" teries have three or four of these books of remembrance which sometimes date back many centuries with the result that they are an invaluable source for historical documenâ€" tation and tracing family trees. Every four months, explained Mr. Graham, the names of deâ€" ceased persons along with one of the three books are sent by mir freight to Hilton Studio, Lichfield, England, where two or three line inscriptions are entered by a calligraphic artist in a style and script simulating The squadron had almost 100 per cent turnâ€"out of cadets on parade and this year the squadâ€" ron trumpet and drum band made its debut. The band was formed last fall under the direction of Mr. Doug Wilson and received many words of praise for their first appearâ€" ance. . Some 300 parents and friends and special guests including Major Brennand S.U.L.O., Canâ€" adian Forces Base, Toronto, Mr. J. McGuire, Principal Isâ€" lington Public School, Lions Club Presidnet W. Adams and Mr. Robbins representing Conâ€" troller D. Lacey and a number of exâ€"cadets of the squadron viewed the inspection.

The Best First Year Cadet Trophy was this year won by Cadet Paul Holland who has shown keen interest in squadâ€" ron activities. The trophy was presented to ‘ him by Major Cairns and he also received imâ€" mediate promotion to Corporal. Two new trophies were preâ€" sented to the Squadron this year for individual cadet achievements, the first from the Gracie family is the Glen Gracie Trophy.
