CHANGING OF THE GUARD An important phase of military life at Carlisle is the changing of the guard. Each day at noon, the new and retir- ing guard form to observe guard mount routine. The officer of the day, a com- missioned officer, is in charge of each group. He is responsibile for maintain- ing discipline of the cadets at school and on leave through the officers and ser- geants of the guard, and the Military Police. This traditional military custom is the keystone of the cadet government. Every commissioned and non-commissioned of- ficer learns to exercise authority with justice and judgment and to command the respect of fellow cadets by soldierly conduct.

BATTALION The Cadets at Carlisle undergo a rigid military curriculum. Aside from their daily drill and Sunday Dress Parades, the students are subjected to a maximum amount of military training in regular military science and tactics classes. Here they are taught not only to be a good soldier in war, but also a good citizen in peace. These classes are instructed by the P.M.S. T., Capt. Waddy Thompson. The Cadet Corps is under strict military discipline and supervision at all times. All school regulations are carried out through the cadet com - missioned and non-commissioned officers, as well as by the faculty. Carlisle operates on the age-old honor system, and military courtesy is traditional. The student body has received much recognition and praise for its functioning as a well-disciplined and well-trained military unit. It is only through the complete cooperation of each individual that this achievement could have been attained. 10
