LIJWEH SIIHIJIJL EUMMANDANT5 This year we have especially stressed aca- demics in the seventh and eighth grades. From nine to fifteen cadets a month have won scholarship awards. To receive these awards it is necessary to have a 2.00 average in all studies, the equivalent to a B- . ln addition to this high scholastic standing, the Lower School boasts of its two fine musical organizations, the Advanced Band under Cap- tain Joseph'5 capable direction, and the Drum and Bugle Corps with Captain Collins as its mentor. The latter has represented the Acad- emy in a Sunday Campus parade as well as in the Orange Show Festival, where it emerged with a hard-earned fourth place against com- petition from all around Southern California. With each passing day, the enrollment has increased, but regardless of these mounting numbers, it has been the firm endeavor of the Lower SchooI's Commandants to instill a high order of discipline and responsibility in the daily life of each individual cadet. As long as we are able to maintain and strength- en this endeavor, our small group will have succeeded. t If v Xiu. I Q 'Us ' X 1 A. ,-Q. -- .1- '? Capt. Robert Jensen Capt. John Mansfield -4. ,
