THE CADETS-THE OUTSTANDING ACTIVITY FOR BOYS By MR. CHARLES HART Principal, Eastern High School HE CADET ORGANIZATION OVCI 3 lOI1g pe- riod of years has retained its position as the outstanding activity for boys because it has had something definite and worth while to offer for the time and effort required of its members. Otherwise, it would long ago have taken its place among the minor activities of the high schools. Sentiment, of course, is a fac- tor, and the boy's desire to have his school the best in anything it undertakes may have an in- fluence on the cadet enlistment. The modern boy, though, must feel that he is personally benefited by the training, if he is to accept this as his major activi.ty. He realizes, first, that the contacts made as a cadet, are of the best, and that cadet membership in itself gives the boys a certain standing and distinction. He knows that it is one activity approved in its entirety by the teachers, and that the men re- sponsible for the actual training are men of force, personality and character, He knows that there is no other activity in which intelligent effort and attention to duty brings a more ready reward. He is stimulated to give his best, be- cause he knows that promotion is given to those who earn it. He is ambitious to obtain a high office, because he realizes that such office offers the best possible opportunity for the develop- ment of qualities of leadership. He knows, too, that even if his cadet training is to be limited to one or two years, the regular drill in the open air, and the individual and group instruction will be of immeasurable benefit. The indefinable something which, through all of his early school years, made him look forward to cadet mem- bership, has its influence. The fact that his Dad or his uncle or his older brother tells with pride of his cadet days, and shows a faded red ribbon of earlier days, makes him feel that it all must be very much worth while. The greatest advantages, however, are those that he cannot appreciate until his active cadet participation is a thing of the past. He won- ders a little, perhaps, when his Dad says, Why, I had the honor of being a private the year Reichelderfer was Colonel of the Regimentng or, I was a Corporal in Edgar Shilling's winning company : or, What a thrill we had back in 1909 when Jimmy Dulin brought the flag for the first time to Business High School. Then he will follow, with a personal interest, the ac- complishments of those he served with in the Cadet corps, and feel that he has a right to share in their successes. And then, when he returns to visit the school and perhaps see on the wall. his picture as a member of a winning company he feels that of all his school experiences, the one that comes first is connected with his mem- bership in the High School Cadet Corps. He goes back in his mind to his first days as a cadet. He lives over again those early awkward mo- ments when it was difficult to remember which was his right foot and which was his left. He remembers the thrill of his promotion to the front rank, and the thrill that came with his first uniform. He thinks again of his deter- mination to live up to the cadet ideals placed before him, and how he set as his goal a cap- taincy in his senior year. And when it came. what a feeling of responsibility it carried with it! Is it all worth while? Ask any who has carried through for four years, if there is any- thing to compare with the experiences gained in that period of service as a High School Cadet.

THE THIRD REG1MENT By LIEUTENANT-COLONEL MORRIS KRUCOPF, H. S. C. T the beginning of the present school year the Third Regiment was organized. It consisted of four companies and a band. However, due to the influx of recruits in Feb- ruary, its strength was augmented by the addi- tion of Company F, and the other companies were brought up to full strength. This year the Regimental Band has, for the first time, been of sufficient strength to Warrant the commissioning of a Second Lieutenant, con- sisting as it did of forty pieces. Although the Third Regiment of last year placed in every competition in which it entered, and Won the coveted red ribbons , this year's regiment is just as good, if not better than last year's. In the Honor Guard competition in .the Regiment, the first two companies were only three one-thousandths of a point apart. This points out very effectively the efficiency of the present Third Regiment. Other activities participated in by the cadets are the Ushering Staff, the Rifle Club and the Officers' Club. The Ushering Staff has given splendid service at various school functions, such ti -- .1-., . Til .. . . ... t. , it 'il5 'f'Qi'it' '.. NH- -1 'A' X t. . ..

A drive was instituted to have every cadet qualify as a member of the National Rifle Asso- ciation. Each company was allotted a day on the range, and many cadets have already quali- ned. The Officers' Club Was formed to promote comradeship among the oflicers and to promote the social functions of the Regiment. In this it has succeeded very well, a tea dance having already been given as well as the Annual Reg- imental Dance. All these activities would not have been pos- sible Without the able assistance of our many friends. The Third Regiment wishes to extend grateful thanks to Nlr. Charles Hart, principal of Eastern High School: to Mr. H. D. Shorts, Miss E. E. Drumm, and Mr. Frank Suter, of the Military Committee: and to Captain Thomas J. Holmes, the military instructor of the Third Regiment. . e A ff, Dr. Frank W.
