oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo C H E R R Y A N D W H I T E oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HIGH SCHOOL CADETS 1 lie 11 iir11 School Cadet system has become a reality in Arvada this year. It is a compulsory subject for Freshmen and Sophomores and is open tor upperclassmen if they desire to take it. The knowledge of military tactics and drill Inis become a valuable asset to any young man. as has been shown by the present war. for this is one of the ways in which our nation was unprepared to carry on war. I lie practice and knowledge gained bv taking this training is very pronounced: it builds up the physique of an individual to a great extent, increases the mental ability of a person and develops a strong character for carrying on national affairs in later life. The number of pupils taking military drill is not enough to constitute a company but good practice is derived from it. There are two officers and several non-commissioned officers in the Cadets this year. The Cadets while drilling are under strict military discipline. This is of great value to them iu teaching respect for discipline. The military drill is given for one hour three times a week. Vtttjv Ttrcntf nix

FOOTBALL Owing to the fin and a late start, we did not have a football team this year. However, the prospects for next year are very bright. BASKETBALL The past season has been one of the most successful ones in which Arvada has ever figured. The season began early in November. Coach Sells had a large squad out for practice. The team finally dwindled down to the following: Bi through, Allen, Finkbeiner, forwards; Martelon, center; Harris. Maloney, Schooley, guards. The first league game was played with Golden. They were reputed to be our most dangerous rival, but we did them up in fine style. The result of the attack was the score of 84 for Arvada, and 16 for Golden. The following week we journeyed to Littleton. This was a much better game than the Golden one. However, we won this encounter in the last five minutes of play, the score being 80 to 20 in our favor.
