Foreword We, the staff of the 1949 Rebel, have tried earnestly to bring be- fore you in this book a complete pictorial outline of cadet life at Car- lisle Military School On the following pages lie the formal and informal photos of the students at work and at play. This annual includes views of the physi- cal structures, the organization of the battalion, of the cadet as he is engaged in academic and military pursuits, in athletics, and in the extra-curricular activities of his club or society. The student body is composed of boys from all over the United States, neighboring countries, and American territories. We are proud of our achievements and the recognition we have received through our working together as a well-disciplined military unit. Now as you pass through the portals of youth and into the world of men where un-ending toil is the only gate to success, we hope, with all sincerity, that this annual will serve you as a brief but pleasant re- minder of your boyhood days, and of the many happy experiences you enjoyed at Carlisle. 4

FAC To make of every boy in Carlisle a man, a man to serve the world as a citizen who is not afraid to stand up for his rights and fight for his liberty, a man who can take defeat in his stride, smile when hardships come his way, and toil unceasingly until the bells of victory toll triumphantly in his favor; a man who will steer his ship of life away from the path of least re- sistance, who will work when there is work to be done, and play when he has earned his rest—this is the ultimate aim of our faculty. We turn to our faculty with pride and admiration, for here we find a group of men who have devoted themselves to us and to our school. They have backed Major James M.
