The accompanying Tables (A and B) show the number of graduates from the Aca- demic High School and the Department of Business Practice, respectively, male and female, from ‘the organization of the High School to June 30, 1923. Vere S4 Im 1888 “instruction in military science was first offered in ‘the high school for colored youth then located in Miner building. On account of insufficient drill space, ununiformed, and with wooden guns, the prospective cadets were required ‘to report once a week at the O Street Armory of the Washington Cadet Corps, which later became the First Separate Battalion, District of Columbia National Guards. Major Christian A. Fleetwood, commanding officer of the Washington Cadet Corps, was the first instructor of the high school cadets. He served for a brief period only, and was succeeded by Captain Arthur Brooks, now retired Lieutenant Colonel, District National Guard, who served as military instructor and drill master from October 15, 1888, to November 30, 1918. Major Edward L. Webster served as military instructor from December 1, 1918, to February 27, 1920; and was succeeded by Major Milton T. Dean, who served from February 1, 1921 to June 380, 1922. September 14, 1922, Captain Edward L. York was appointed military instructor, and December 27, 1922, 1st Lieutenant Orestus J. Kincaid was appointed assistant military instructor. The first public appearance of the high school cadets was in an exhibition drill at Metropolitan Baptist Church in 1892. There was only one company under the com- mand of Captain Albert Ridgeley, and the drill was given to secure funds with which to purchase equipment and to help make up a purse for the military instructor, a salary being unprovided at that time. Under an Act of Congress granting the loan of arms to Colleges and High Schools, the cadets were furnished necessary arms and equipment. Accordingly, November 1, 1892, the colored cadets were formally organized with one company having a mem- bership of 70 boys. Only 59 purchased uniforms, thereby reducing those recruited as follows: Officers—Captain, Louis A. Cornish, Jr.; First Lieutenant, James E, Walker; Second Lieutenant, Benjamin Washington; Third Lieutenant, Marcellus M. Syphax. Non-Commissioned Officers—First Sergeant, Charles M. Thomas; Second Sergeant, Alonzo S. Mitchell; Third Sergeant, Edward Hall; Fourth Sergeant, Charles Tignor, Fifth Sergeant, John George. Corporals—Frank Marshall, George Bowser, Samuel Milton, James Dowling, Sylvester Thomas, Arthur W. Lynch. Privates— Harry Bell, John Bruce, Elias Brown, William Butcher, Henry Bolden, George Baum, Henry Burwell, Everett Brooks, John Brooks, William Brooks, Preston Clinton, Walter Chapman, Edward Davis, Andrew Dorsey, Albert Fields, Loraine Fisher, William Gunnell, Bernard Hartgrove, Charles King, Arthur James, William Miller, Charles Minkins, James Pinn, John Payne, John Quander, Henry Ricks, Daniel Southall, Daniel Spriggs, Robert Scott, James Turner, John Thornton, Joseph Upsher, John Wilkinson, Harry Wilkinson, Herbert Winsy, Richard White, Clarence Wright, Ira Wright, Al- phonso Woodson, Ferman Wormley, Howard Young. 5 ; is Without overcoats, yet undeterred by the morning blizzard and the frigid cold that followed on March 4, 1893, the cadets formed a part of the escort to the out- : F jami ri nd the President-Elect, Grover Cleveland, and going President, Benjamin Harrison, a . a een afterwards marched in the Inaugural Parade. The reputation which the cadets i. established was such that President Cleveland had made a special request that they be a part of his personal escort on that occasion. The cadets also marched
