Honor Council Left to right: Knopp, Risher, Said, Yaden, Smyly. One of the highest honors which can be bestowed upon a cadet at Carlisle is that of being selected by the faculty to serve on the Honor Council. Although at times the duties of the honor council members may be distasteful and unpleasant, it is' a great achievement for the cadet and denotes his character to be placed in this organization. The Honor Council is composed of five cadets, all of whom this year are commissioned officers, and one faculty adviser. For the past two years Capt. E. W. Burnett has acted as this adviser. It is the duty of this group to assign judicial punishment to those cadets who by their actions have committed offenses which reflect discredit on the honor of the corps of cadets. When such a violation occurs, the party or parties concerned are given a hearing by the Honor Council in which all evidence, testimonies, and witnesses are brought forth in order that a fair verdict may be reached. This verdict along with the recommended punishment is submitted to the Headmaster and the Commandant of Cadets for their approval. Exactly what transpires in the course of one of these meetings is unknown to the corps as each member is vowed to secrecy. As can readily be seen, a group such as this which has nearly unlimited power in handling these matters, must he made up of capable and broad minded men of sound judgment. 24

Cross Sabre Club The Cross Sabre Club is the oldest student organization at Carlisle—its origin dating back to the days when military was first being incorporated into the school’s system. The membership of this club is limited to the commissioned officers. These men are chosen as officers according to their seniority in years, scholastic record, character, and capability. The suc- cess of the school depends on its cadet officers for through these men the conduct, morale and general attitude of the student body flourishes. The members of this club convene informally, with the cadet major presiding, once a week to discuss matters pertaining to the betterment of the school. As a result of these meetings this year has been one of great improvement. Although the activities of this group are of a serious nature, they have their lighter moments. Our Thanksgiving dance was sponsored by these officers and their annual banquet, held in January at Orangeburg, was most successful.
