Group of cadets in army uniforms marching past, one of whom is carrying a large flag of the Union Jack. Students in ranks going through manoeuvres with rifles. Another shot of a march past under the Union Jack. "Loyal interest and pride in their work means PROFICIENCY for these lads." A large contingent of students march past a saluting officer. Shots of marching students going through various formation drills. After breaking the ranks in one shot the students toss up their caps and wave them. "Hamilton takes pride in her boys, and their parade evokes as much interest as that of a crack regiment." Shot of a street parade in main street somewhere in Hamilton.
