Qrganigaiions Clubs are for working together and carrying out purposes- Stonewall Jackson was a master of both. Flawlessly supporting Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy's greatest leader, jackson accom- plished his aims in a. way which astounded the Federals and be- came a model for military study. Especially outstanding was the Battle of Chancellorsville, in which Lee and jackson executed one of their most daring and successful maneuvers. This bold stroke gave them a decided victory, sending Hooker into retreat. It was not, however, a victory to rejoice about, for after the battle lack- son was fatally wounded by the accidental shot of one of his own nervous pickets. Thus, although Jackson himself was both a war hero and a great general, he is remembered principally as one of Lee's lieu- tenantsf' Military life taught him that cooperating with others is as important as leading others. Such leadership and willing coop- eration are the heart of all organizations-the heart of the activities carried on in the school. 54.
