"Birthday gifts" were made to Major Landon and Editor Leland by the Society and to Colonel Houston, Captain Wall, Captain Grant, Lieutenant Pad- dock, and Messrs. Eugene G. Foster and J. Hegeman Foster by the Active Company.


The Company received from Major Landon as a birthday gift the original parchment muster roll signed by "The Lancers" a hundred years ago, en- rolling themselves as "Members of the First Troop, 27th Regiment, National Guard, under the command of Andrew B. Brinckerhoff of the First Division of Artillery of the State of New York, to do duty as Cavalry."


This historic document, specially framed to include the original silver tube and spool which held it, will now take its place in the Company Room with the "Troop Flag," the hundred-year-old standard of Company I.

THE FIRST HUNDRED YEARS OF COMPANY I


SOBE


A Regimental Review for Brigadier General Wade Hampton Hayes, our former Captain and Colonel, was given on Wednesday, March 9. After the review the evening parade was taken by Major Landon, President of the Society of Ninth Company Veterans, and by the entire Active Company, a gracious com- pliment extended by Colonel Tobin in honor of our One Hundredth Anniver- sary. There was a delightful reception afterwards in the Company Room. Altogether it was a most glamorous event

1930-1938


THE CENTENNIAL COMPANY


As the year 1938 brings to a close the last chapter in "The First Hundred Years", a great rifle company stands ready to carry on the tradition of "Casey's Company."


The outstanding superiority of Company I in shooting has brought to the "Centennial Company" every Company rifle, pistol, and automatic-rifle trophy now in competition within the Regiment, the Brigade, and the State.


Regimental indoor trophies include the 71st Regiment (5-man team), Abeel (10-man team), Kemp (25-man team), Rathbone (30-man team), Clark (50-man team), and Adjutants' Pistol (3 officers).


The State Match Trophies offered for company competition are the Adjutant General's (3-man team), Company Team (4-man team), and Macnab Pistol (4-man team). All three matches were won by Company I teams.


Camp qualification firing in 1938 resulted in another "clean sweep" for Company I, with twenty-one automatic-rifle qualifications and the following remarkable record of fifty-nine qualifications with the service rifle:

The average rifle score for the Company was 217, three points above Sharp- shooter. The average score for the twenty-one qualified auto-riflemen who returned from camp was 392.


These excellent scores won the two Regimental outdoor shooting awards, the Stein and O'Donohue Trophies, as well as the Brigade "Figure of Merit" Prize.


This typically "Company I" achievement has never been equalled and can never be excelled !


REGIMENTAL EFFICIENCY GUIDON


In addition to its record in marksmanship, the 1938 company attained ratings in attendance, ceremonies and camp inspections which won for Com- pany I the guidon awarded annually by the Regiment to its most efficient company. And Toujours PrĂȘt, a centenarian, once more leads the great Reg- iment he has served so long, so faithfully, and so well.

Company I-Peekskill-1938

1930-1938


VALEDICTORY


T HE cavalcade of the years has passed. The drums roll off in the distance.


We have stood on the side lines at Bowling Green and seen the gal- lant old National Guard Troop clank by with Brinckerhoff at its head. We have cheered wildly for the Light Artillery Company as it dragged its howitzers down Broadway on the great march to save the Capital in '61.


With enthusiasm brimming over we have seen the best drilled Infantry Company in the National Guard-48 files-wheel with clock-like precision around the Square led by the incomparable Captain Casey.


We have seen its successors keep the pace and the spirit under Landon and McAlpin and Houston.


Then there came a sunburned and lean Company I with slouch hats and back-breaking packs, that had disturbed the alkali dust of Texas' burning plains, led by Hayes.


And when the war clouds again lower, across the fields of France in apple- blossom time plods a new Ninth Company singing the old songs, cracking the old jokes, while at the head of the column march Ray Egan and Percy Hall. The sun is out and all nature is smiling. Surely, this cannot be war!


But there came a day when these soldier boys of New York City and State awoke to the stern realities, received their baptism of fire, and made their first sacrifices in Flanders' fields. In the grey dawn of a fatal September morning they faced the great test, stormed the heights and three score died around Percy Hall on the slopes of Guillemont-but the survivors kept on!


After the black clouds passed over and the sun shone out once more, back on Park Avenue we saw a new Regiment swing by under the first Company I Colonel-Wade Hayes-who builded so well on the old foundations. And in its ranks another Ninth led by veteran Captains-Buell, Clayton, Garey and Johnson. No after-the-war indifference can break the spirit or weaken the stay- ing powers of "Toujours PrĂȘt." On they go!


And here we stand today, we Vets, with thankful hearts and brimming eyes as we view the youngsters of 1938 carrying the old Troop standard so high. Finer boys never marched under it. They have captured all the trophies for straight shooting-in more senses than one-with gallant young Devereux in command. A long cheer for him! A long cheer for them-the Actives of 1938!


The first hundred years may or may not be the hardest, but God grant that the next hundred may be as useful to our country, as glorious, and as enjoy- able, for we are here to proclaim to the world that belonging to Company I of the 7th Regiment is the finest thing that can happen to any man!
