Hmitiffoduietory N AN introduction to this volume, Castle Heights would ask the privilege of suggesting the foundation of a mutual understand- ing, upon which there may be erected, if you choose, the conception of a healthful and useful and happy school home for your boy. As a chief stone of the corner of this foundation the Academy would place its own responsibility to you. It proposes in this book to talk to you about your boyg and in so doing, in expressing a willingness to receive him as a charge, it offers to accept whole-heartedly and genuinely the grave responsibility of doing for him the very utmost that all its wisdom and experience can produce. Sincerely and honestly it pledges its best efforts to do for him what you, as an affectionate mother, as an ambitious and devoted father, would have done for him-would do for him your- selves, did opportunity and circumstances permit. Yet there is another stone in this corner, and one which the Academy would be unfair to itsebf and to you, if it did not call to your thoughUut attention. That is, your responsibility to the Academy. There is built up at Castle Heights a painstaking and carefully planned system by means of which wonderful things may be ac- complished for the normal boy. We know of no other method that will accomplish so much. Yet even this structure of ours, as circum- spect as we may be, as watchful, as resourceful, will inevitably to some degree disintegrate unless the parents of each and every cadet give the Academy the same whole-hearted co-operation towards the upbuilding of the boy that the Academy pledges itself to give the parents. Too much money to spend-ruinous. Consent to drop subjects because they seem hard-weakening. Permission to open credit accounts or to draw checks and sign drafts indiscriminately-demoralizing. Assumption of the attitude that the cadet's duty to the Academy is a matter exclusively between the Academy and the cadet-damage ing. Requesting furloughs except under extreme and most unusual circumstances-destructive of the very spirit of responsibility and routine that is the crowning virtue of military school life. 6 Encouragement to overstay furlough, to report late at the open- ing of term, to leave ahead of everyone else-all these are injurious to the highest degree, not only to the boy, but also to the institution. With all its heart Castle Heights believes in the happy, pleasant, enjoyable side of school life, but not at the cost of better and bigger and finer things. There are a hundred ways in which the parent can support the Academy, make its work more valuable, its teachings more construc- tive, its law and order more helpful: and there are just as many ways in which the parent, unintentionally, can hinder the Academy, and, hindering the Academy, hinder the boy far more. That is why Castle Heights must in all conscientiousness state plainly and unequivocally, at the very outset, that it cannot undertake to accomplish worth-while results for your boy unless you, for your part, will give freely and fully and continuously of your own co-operation. And now, if you will do this, as naturally you will, let us remind you of the fact that the boys of today, your boy among them, will be the men of tomorrow. Civilization is still in a critical period. Tremen- dous problems must be solved by this next generation. There will be a great need for clear thinking and clean living. , What kind of men are these boys going to be? The Academy is making it' its business to help answer that ques- tion inthe way that every father and mother wants it answered. Consider that boy of yours for a moment. Consider his education. Does he study? Does he know how to study? Has he the exclusive oversight of trained men who know their business? Is his school course properly arranged, or is it at loose ends? ls he passing in his classes? ls he accumulating mere facts, or is he learning to use hisihead? When he gets through where he ls- will he really be prepared for college, for business, for life? Will he be ready to tackle the big job of being a man? Can he think? Can he spell? Can he write a decent letter? Consider his physique. Does he carry himself well? Is his eye clear and bright? Is he in bed every night by ten and up every morn- ing before seven? I-las he the set of the shoulders, the spring of the step, the poise of the head that mean superbly developed muscles, good digestion, abundant sleep, and systematic exercise in the open air? 7 Consider his habits and character. ls he obedient? Do you have to tell him twice to do a thing? Does he want to argue with you? Does he know twice as much as you knew at his age? Do you know who his companions are? Do you know where he goes and what he does? ls he neat? ls he orderly? Does he shine the heels of his shoes? Can he begin a thing and finish it? Does he respect his elders and superiors? 1 l These things are straws that show which way the wind blows. Castle Heights ofers to help you answer these questions and many others as they must be answered if your boy is to do his full part in this world of ours. As a real school, Castle Heights believes that its special business is to develop real boys into real men. lts program for endeavoring to accomplish this is dehnite, and resolves itself into six distinct heads: l . Isolation. Castle Heights is located just outside the corporate limits of Lebanon, Tennessee, thirty miles from Nashville. This beautiful, historic little town of 4,000 inhabitants is a kind-hearted, Christian community which for eighty years has been the seat of Cumberland University. It has no atmosphere of bright lights, of questionable resorts, of city temptations and distractions. Here a boy breathes the clean air of the unspoiled country. ' 2. Faculty. Castle Heights faculty officers are gentlemen as well as scholars. They are men of experience and ability, each a specialist in his own line. The boy in his manifold moods and problems is an old story to them. They are here because they are ready and will- ing to make the development of your boy their private and personal and particular business. And the faculty for the coming year is larger and stronger than it has been in the Academy's twenty years of un- interrupted success. 3. E q u ip m c n t. Castle Heights is the most magnificently equipped boys' school in the South. Its eight brick and stone build- ings, its commodious auditorium, its gymnasium and swimming-pool, its generous sized class-rooms, its modern laboratory, its beautiful mess-hall, its armory, its memorial library, its hospital, its comfortable cadet quarters, its spacious parade ground and athletic field-these place it in a class by itself. 4. Scholarship. Castle Heights scholarship is already widely recognized. Its diploma means something, and it is about to mean 8 more. Its graduates enter nearly all the great colleges and universi- ties without examination, including West Point and Annapolis. No consideration comes ahead of scholarship here. The Military De- partment is subservient to the Academic. Athletics are decidedly a nsideration, yet the school is famous for its teams. The best that modern educational thought and methods can offer secondary co awaits your boy. - 5 Discipline. Castle Heights is a rigidly military school be- cause it believes that under no other system can mind and spirit and body be so successfully developed. Its cadets wear well-Htting uniforms because these are part of the system. It does not try to make soldiers, but men who can obey as well as command, who have self-control, initiative, brains, manners, and the highest standards of personal conduct and human relations. The normal healthy boy comes to love this -form of control and activity as he loves nothing else in all school life. It brings out in him all that there is of the man and the gentleman. 6. Personnel. Castle Heights chooses its boys. It is in no sense a reform school. lts cadets come from many of the best homes in the country. It specializes in the superior boy. It does not hesitate to get rid quickly of the boy who proves objectionable. It does its utmost forhimg but it has other boys, yours among them, to consider. Its authorities do not believe that anywhere in the United States is there to be found a more wholesome, controlled, straightforward, well-behaved group of boys than those who make up its student body. With this introduction, Castle Heights invites your attention to the pages that follow. Its integrity is behind every statement in this catalogue. Its doors are open for you whenever you will come and see for yourself. 9 ON THE CUMBERLAND NEAR LEBANON Mn Faculty em Admimigfimiiiml COLONEL CLARK M. MAT!-ns, A.M., LLB.

Equipment 11216 RUTHERFORD PARKS LIBRARY Equipment THE boy who comes to Castle Heights comes to a 3500000.00 school. No preparatory institution in the South and few in other sections of the country can compete with Castle Heights in equipment. The Castle Heights school plant consists of eight separate and distinct buildings. All are of brick and stone, and most carry out in buff and red brick the castellated style of architecture. Each build- ing is electrically lighted, and all are heated by steam. As a group they present a sight as agreeable and attractive as it is dignified and stately. Patrons will note that during the summer of 1921 white enamel stationary washstands, with running hot and cold water, were installed in all cadet quarters on the Hilltop, including the Main Barracks, the Halls, the Tower, and the Chapel. These buildings were also equipped with porcelain lavatory stands conveniently located. Extensive improvements were likewise made in the electric lighting system and in the basement of the Gymnasium, where are located the general latrines, the shower-baths, and the swimming pool. THE MAIN BARRACKS The Main Barracks, the principal building of the Hilltop group, erected in l902, has a frontage of 2I5 and a depth of 250 feet. Its foundation is of buff stone: its superstructure of red and buff pressed brick. The building is four stories in height, and contains in addition to quarters for some l20 cadets, double parlors, a guest room, an oc- tagonal mess-hall finished in hardwood, an infirmary, a commodious and excellently equipped kitchen with ample store-rooms, and, in the basement at the rear, the engine-room, water-works, and electric and steam-heating plants. THE GYMNASIUM The Gymnasium, erected in l904, is eighty feet by forty. In its basement is 61 Swimmihg pool, forty feet by nineteen, with an ex- treme depth of eight feet: a shower bath room, toilets, and an indoor rifle gallery. The main floor is occupied by the gymnasium proper, with its hand ball and basket ball courts, its suspended running track and spectators' gallery, and its admirable supply of gymnastic ap- paratus. 31 1 Hvnigmkw, I1 1 1 Ejx3 U ' ' S, Pu f-L THE CHAPEL BARRAC KS QA, 4 u c.,j,4f..: 1. 1, -, 4, L J THE. 4 . , gy.- DF CADETS 5 THE TOWER . This unique structure was completed in l905. It is about forty feet square, with octagonal towers rising at each corner. A faculty officer occupies the lower floor, cadets being quartered on the floors above. Like the other buildings on the Hilltop, it has running water and electric lights in each room, and is heated by steam. . THE HALLS The next building to be erected in response to the steady growth of the institution was the Halls, constructed in l908. Of an architec- tural design in harmony with the other Hilltop buildings, it is likewise of buff and red brick. Four large, airy class-rooms occupy its lower floor: on the second and third floors are quarters for faculty officers and cadets. A THE ARMORY This one-story structure was completed in l9l0. First used as a Guard House, it was subsequently remodeled and transformed into an Armory. Here are the store-rooms for the Government equipment and also an office for the Army detail, the Professor of Military Science and Tactics. THE RUTHERFORD PARKS LIBRARY The most attractive building on the Hilltop is the Rutherford Parks Memorial Library, erected in l9l2 as the gift of an alumnus. I t has the shape of a Greek cross, with an extreme depth of fifty-six feet. It is beautifully finished, and is furnished with heavy quarter- sawed oak tables, chairs, and sectional book-cases. This generous gift has not only conferred distinction on the Academy, but has also supplied such means of broad culture, through association with good books and clean periodicals, as few preparatory schools enjoy. THE CHAPEL The Chapel Barracks is the second largest structure on the Hill- t0P- .It Was completed in l9l2. ln appearance it is a companion building to the Halls, which faces it across the Avenue. lts entire ground Hoor is occupied by ai large auditorium and study hall, Htted with individual desks. Four well-appointed recitation rooms are on the second floor, the third being given up to cadet and faculty officer quarters. Vt . 33. f SUMMARY The seven -buildings described, together with the residence of the President, occupy a beautiful hilltop one mile west of the County Court House. This commanding elevation not only ensures perfect sanitation, natural d.rainage, and an abundance of pure, fresh air, but also affords a lovely view across the valley to the foothills of the Cum- berland lVlountains. All these material advantages, combined with an ample campus and athletic field, place Castle Heights on an equal footing with the very best similar institutions in America., i Why not give your boy the bcneft of all this? I I -f ps' . Q 34 Sckwlastic THE HALL5 BARRACKS GN NOTHING, except on the building of character, does Castle Heights lay as much emphasis as on its academic work, its undeviating standard of scholarship, and its requirements for grad- uation. The Castle Heights diploma, representing the completion of fifteen units of preparatory school work, represents also those particu- lar units required for entrance by the great majority of dignified col- leges and universities. In other words, the winning of a Castle Heights diploma means that a boy is ready for college, unconditioned, and that there is no question about his fitness or about his acceptance by the college: conversely, until .these requirements are fully satis- fied, that he cannot obtain the diploma. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS As the college requires fifteen units for unconditioned entrance, specifying certain ones as necessary and offering a list of electives from which the others may be selected, so Castle Heights requires fifteen units for graduation, specifying certain ones as necessary and allowing the cadet to make up the remainder from another list. The units without which a cadet cannot graduate are: English Cfour years, .............................. 3 Mathematics fAlgebra IW, Plane Geometry I, Solid Geometry V25 ............................ 3 2 E Along with these eight units the candidate for graduation must present seven others from the following list Cmost of these subjects, althmlgh not all, being offered in the Academy curriculumfz Mathe- matics I fAIgCb1'a IJCYOUCI Quadratics VZ, Plane Trigonometry IQDQ History 4 CEnglish I, Ancient I, Medieval and Modern I, American ID: Civics IQ or I: Latin 4: Greek 33 French 2: German 23 Spanish 2: English or American Literature Cif in addition to four years of Eng- lishb I 3 Physical Geography Vg: General Science I 3 Physiology and Hygiene I :Chemistry I Q Physics I 3 Botany V2 or I Q Zoology VZ or I : BIOIOSY IZ Mechanical Drawing Ig and Manual Training I.

Total specified .................................. 37 E I THE ARMORY has no value as an additional credit unless it has been pursued in a class distinct from American History: only one credit can be allowed for Manual Training: the Sciences, must have included full laboratory work: and single credits in Language cannot be recognized. I t should be understood that many of the better universities demand four years of Language fsome of them four years of Latinj for admission to their A. B. courses. The completion of two years of Language, how- ever, with certain other units, admits to the scientific or mathematical degree courses of most higher institutions. i The Academy will be glad to co-operate most heartily in preparing boys for the college of their parents' choice: but, U' at all possible, this decision should be reached before the cadet entersihis Junior or third year of preparatory school work. I Attention should be called to the fact that in some secondary schools graduation is not based upon the completion of courses rep- resented by any such selected list of units as those here specified. That is to say, a diploma from one school stands for one thing, while a diploma from another school may stand for something quite differ- ent. As can readily be seen, the college cares nothing for the diploma itself. No college will admit a boy merely on a diploma. It always insists on being informed, in detail, as to what the diploma represents. If it represents what the college requires, well and good: if not, it is worthless for that particular purpose. The Castle Heights diploma represents what the reputable university demands. What is required to graduate from the Academy is what the college requires to enter. A I CERTIFICATION PRIVILEGES ' A few colleges, Yale, Princeton, Harvard, and certain others, make it a point to accept no students from any secondary school ex- cept after examination. The great majority of the American colleges, however. do accept the certified statement of certain accredited Secondary Schools, and thus, provided that the applicant ha's done the required Work. admit him without examination. By virtue of its standing as a member of the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, and on account of its enviable scholastic reCOI'Cl, Castle Heights is able to assure its graduates of the widest Cefiiiieetien Privileges. In fact, by certification, Academy graduates 39 THE TOWER BARRACKS can enter any institution of higher learning that does not invariably require written examinations for entrance. Some of these institu- tions are: The University of Alabama The Alabama Polytechnic ln- stitute The University of Arkansas Center University The University of Chicago Clemson College Cumberland University The University of Florida The University of Georgia The Georgia School of Tech- nology The University of lowa The University of Illinois , The University of Kentucky The University of Kansas Leland Stanford University The University of Michigan The University of Missouri The University of Minnesota The University of Mississippi The University of North Car- olina The University of Ohio The University of Oklahoma The University of Pennsyl- vania The University of the South The University of South Car- olina Southwestern Presbyterian University The University of Tennessee Trinity College CNorth Car- olinaj Trinity College CTexasj Tulane University Vanderbilt University The University of Virginia Washinl and Lee Uni- versity The University of Wisconsin COLLEGE SCI-IOLARSHIPS It should also be noted that several institutions offer Castle Heights graduates one or more freshman scholarships worth to the holder the cost of the regular tuition, which ranges in value from seventy to one hundred dollars. Among these institutions are: Cumberland University Washington and Lee Uni- Tulane University Southwestern Presbyterian versity The University of the South University The University of Virginia ln addition, the University of the South offers a scholarship of two hundred dollars to first-honor men. ADMISSION When a boy has completed grammar school, he is ready for Castle Heights. Castle Heights is the link between the grammar school and the university, or the link between the grammar school and business life. It is not a college, nor does it give collegiate work. It takes the boy When he is ready to begin Algebra and the Languages. While application should not be made for a boy not ready for high school work, or for one under fourteen years of age, too much emphasis cannot be laid on the fact that the longer a boy remains in Castle Heights, the greater will be the benefit that he derives. Even a single year at Castle Heights is worth much to any boy,' but 41 ,Q--,. VIEWS OF THE MESS HALL two years' stay is three limes as valuable to him as one, and the gain to the cadet who remains three years is proportionately greater. The ideal as well as the most economical plan is to enter the boy as a freshman, and give him the cumulative advantages of the full four-year course. There is not a month of the year in which the Academy does not receive letters from parents the burden of which is, My only regret is that I did not send him to you sooner! Work at Castle Heights prepares a boy for whatever the world may have in store for him. If he is going to college, he will be pre- pared to get out of college the best there is in it. If he is to begin work, he will be ready to take up his new responsibilities with a mind accustomed to meet difficulties and conquer them. Whatever the boy's course later, as a freshman he will begin Algebra and go through a very careful review of English Grammar. The importance of these two classes cannot be over-emphasized, for nine-tenths of the trouble that a willing boy may have later on in his preparatory school work arises from a lack of foundation here. That is why the Academy makes so earnest a plea for the boy as a freshman, when there are no mistakes to rectify. ln addition to English and Algebra, the new cadet will take up English l-listory and either Latin or General Science, this choice depending largely upon his already pre-determined course after graduation. For the sake of the cultural advantages as well as the great assistance the subject is in the study of English, every effort is made to schedule the boy in Latin. These four studies, English, Algebra, History, and either Latin or General Science, together with Spelling and Military Science and Tactics, which are required of all cadets, give the boy a full schedule. When he passes this work at the end of his frst year, the cadet has an absolutely solid foundation for the remainder of his preparatory school course. He ought never to have any further serious trouble in the classroom. The sophomore cadet completes Algebra through Quadratics, and COUUHUCS the Study of English with special reference to composi- tion. By this time his letters home should begin to be sources of real gratification-and just here the Academy wishes to call attention to its unique system of required letters home. In addition to the regula- tion that every cadet must write a letter home each Sunday and 43 GYMNASIUIVI INTERIOR Eneid of Virgil, and an examination into the ancient myths of Greece and Rome. The cadet devoting himself to modern language has his second year of French or Spanish, not only conversing in these lan- guages in the section room, but also pursuing his study of grammar and idiom, and reading a number of well chosen texts. The senior history courses offer American History or a year's work in Civics. In the realm of science the cadet is offered an unusual course in Phys- ics, again with the two additional laboratory periods and some forty experiments. The senior work in mathematics, finally, em- braces a half-year in Solid Geometry, a half-year in Plane Trigonom- etry, and a half-year in Advanced Algebra, beginning at the end of Quadratics and especially designed for those cadets who desire to present two full credits in Algebra upon college entrance. . ln addition to this academic work, Castle Heights offers a highly practical one-year Commercial course, the work of which includes Bookkeeping, Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic, Shorthand and Typewriting, and English. The Headmaster will be glad to correspond direct with any parent regarding a boy's special scholastic needs. CLASSIFICATION One of the most vital influences in determining the success or failure of a schoolboy is his classification. ' Hundreds of boys who are willing to study, and do study, stillfail to make passing grades. I n nine-tenths of such cases these boys are in classes where they do not belong. Almost every classroom in the average school has its boys whose minds are incapable of the particular work required. This condition arises, Hrst, from the natural ambition of the boy to get along in school: secondly, from the still more natural am- bition of the parent to hasten the b0y's graduation: and, thirdly, from the unescapable fact that too often boys are allowed to advance from a lower class to a higher without having mastered the work they were supposed to do. The value of a school credit depends upon the school. Credits are not necessarily worth anything. Castle Height-9 will I-W-If your boy where he belongs, and where he will do the bestiwork of which he is capable. When a. cadet enters the Academy as a freshman, his parents 47 . may be sure that when he passes a class he is thoroughly prepared for his next year's work in that subject. He is not eased through. What he is supposed to get, he gets. No sooner does he begin to drop down in his class work than a memorandum to this effect goes from the instructor to the Headmaster, and within a few hours the cadet finds himself in the President's office, there to explain his delinquency or to have immediate steps taken for its cure. The President con- tinuously gives his personal attention to these questions of scholar- ship. If the fault lies in a lack of study, this fact is forcefully brought to the boy's attention. If the trouble lies in his room-mate, his quar- ters may be changed. If he needs more time for study, he is at once assigned to afternoon delinquency school. Should he be found in- capable of the work of a particular class, he must go to the next lower. If his schedule is too heavy, it is lightened. And this cadet comes back every Monday evening to report, the Headmaster having continued to furnish the President detailed infor- mation as to his attitude and work, until the remedy is found. That is the method by which Castle Heights takes care of your boy, and by which it ensures the integrity of its contract with the parent and the preservation of its own high academic standards. In the meantime, of course, every encouragement is offered the cadet in the class room and in his quarters. The Academy faculty officers are gentlemen of experience, all of whom feel a deep personal interest in the success of the cadet under their care. These instruc- tors are wonderfully patient in the section room: their business is to make things clear. Night after night they are to be found in their own quarters, where the cadets may go for further assistance and explanation. ln addition, one or another of them is always on duty as Officer in Charge, making the rounds of all the buildings during the evening study period, and affording still further opportunity for counsel and help. Castle Heights admits new cadets to advanced standing fin the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classesl on the presentation of proper credits. In order to remain in these classes, however, it is necessary that the cadet show the ability to do the required work. It is highly important, also, that on admission to the Academy the new cadet present an official statement from his former school or schools certi- fying in detail as to his work, classes taken, number of recitations per 48 week, length of recitation period, texts, ground covered, number of weeks pursued, and grade for the year. Higher institutions demand this information for every year of preparatory school work, and to postpone the obtaining of it is not infrequently to invite subsequent annoyance and delay. A cadet taking his four years at the Academy is never subjected to this embarrassment. Following this statement of the Academy's scholastic courses and methods will be found several pages devoted to a re-statement of these courses in tabular form, to which reference is invited. The curriculum is not rigid-that is, it is not required that a cadet take all freshman classes, all sophomore, and so on. A boy is placed where he belongs, as best the Academy can determine, so that he may, if his preparation seems to make it advisable, take Freshman Algebra along with Sophomore English, or may make any other ad- justment of classes that seems wise and that the class schedule will admit. This schedule, however, is prepared with a View to taking care of the boy who is progressing normally, and cannot, of course, be re-arranged for the sake of the cadet whose course is exceptional. REPORTS The careful system at Castle Heights by which a cadet is continu- ously checked up as regards his academic as well as his demerit standing makes it possible for parents to be furnished with detailed monthly reports as to the exact standing of their sons. Inasmuch as these reports constitute an unfailing indication of the boy's attitude and progress, parents are urged to give them the most careful consideration, and to help their sons by commendation, reproof, or appeal, as may seem best. ExAM1NAT1oNs AND TUTORING Examinations are held twice each year, prior to the close of the Fall and S15-'flng terms. and no cadet is advanced to a higher class un- less he. has attained a grade of 70 per cent on the year's work. This grade 15 Calculated On a basis of two-thirds for daily grade and one- third for examination grade.

In the exceptional cases where it is advisable, cadets, with the consent of the Headmaster, may make arrangements for this work at reasonable rates. THE MCLAUGHLIN SCHOLARSHIP ln memory of lVlrs. Rena McLaughlin, two thousand dollars has been given Castle Heights as a perpetual fund, the income from which, one hundred and twenty dollars, is devoted to part payment of the tuition of deserving and promising students. Disposition of this fund has been made for l922. THE BOY AND His MIND , The growing boy has always been one of the greatest of problems, in the home, in the church, in the school and out of it. To each of these influences that seeks to mould him he still presents himself in certain aspects as a riddle. For hundreds of years the school has been trying to offer him work precisely suited to his mind, and still. today, it has for guides in doing this only a few passing grades ob- tained in one institution or another, the fact that he has reached a certain age in years, and such knowledge as may be gleaned by ob- serving him in the classroom. Only rarely does any school try to measure the minds of its pupils, although several of the great Ameri- can universities are beginning to inquire closely into this very con- dition., and are experimenting with methods of examination, of testing, that may in time even bring about a sort of revolution in education. Interested, as every modern secondary school must be, in these investigations, Castle Heights has also been making careful inquiry into this new realm Of psychology as applied to education. It was soon ascertained that in some quarters the new theory was little more than a fad-a novelty rather than an actual help. Cn the other hand, certain of these lines of inquiry, especially when followed by highly capable investigators, apparently have already proved to be of real value- The mental age of a boy, for instance, can be easily and rather accurately determined, and from this analysis it may be ascertained that the reason, for example, one studious boy fails, say in Plane Ge- ometry, while another passes, is perhaps the underlying fact that the 51 SX ii., N, 5 I THE PHYSICS LABORATORY Hrst boy is too undeveloped mentally to exercise the intellectual proc- esses necessary to a grasp of the subject. It is unfair to such a boy to expect him to master Plane Geometry, much less to demand it of him. He cannot help himself. It is not his fault. ln this particu- lar case, the results would mean that the boy was in need of such train- ing as would stimulate and develop his mind to the point where it would be capable of the reasoning demanded by Plane Geometry. If mentality tests did no more than this, they would demonstrate their usefulness. As it happens, however, these psychological examinations appear to have demonstrated their ability to go farther than this. Often they indicate with surprising accuracy the particular profession or pursuit for which the boy is best fitted: they can place his weaknesses before him as well as his strength: they can warn him in what respects he needs to be safeguarded, they can point out to him, often, the stumbling-blocks over which he has been tripping for years, but of which he has perhaps been unaware: they can even now and then, by a certain psycho-analysis, remove, to an extent if not altogether, the actual cause of failure. Much of this has already been demonstrated here at Castle Heights. At the invitation of the Academy, a gentleman expert in these methods of examination spent a week on the Hilltop in March, talking with the cadets and applying some of the simpler tests. The results were so remarkable and benehcial that he was retained to give the Academy part of his time next fall, when it is proposed to examine, to a greater or lesser degree, every cadet in the Corps. The reason for this is, of course, apparent. Too many men fail in life. Human experience is filled with the wreckage of those who were trying to do what they were not fit to do, perhaps through lack of training, perhaps because the round peg will not fit into the square hole. If anything can be done while the boy is still a boy to put him OU the fight track, to save him disappointment, to help him under- Stand himself. to aSCCI'tain the precise sort of mental training de- manded in his particular case, to stimulate his intellectual processes, to assist him in becoming master of his own fate, captain of his own soul, and thus as the successful boy to develop naturally into the successful man-this is very greatly worth while. 53 THE PRBSlDE.NT'S HOME The exact nature of the work to be done in the fall, and the ex- tent to which these examinations will be carried in every case, cannot as yet be announced. Parents enrolling their sons as Castle Heights cadets for the coming year, however, may expect' definite and interest- ing information in this connection about October I.

The work includes Bookkeeping, Commer- cial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Shorthand, and Typewriting, in ad- dition to which, unless the student has passed four years of work in preparatory school English, he is assigned to that English class best adapted to his particular needs. Bookkeeping. Definitions and terms. Six weeks in the work- ing out of simple transactions illustrating significant terms: making and journalizing mod.el daybooksg posting: making trial balances, balance sheets, and statements. This followed by drill in the uses of the cash.book, the handling of the journal, and the closing and prov- ing of cash balances. Still later comes instruction in the conduct of the books of a single proprietor, of dual and compound partnerships, of stock companies and corporations. Commercial Law. The principles underlying business in its legal aspects. Frequent quizzes and informal lectures. Commercial Arithmetic. An unusually practical course devoted to all kinds of commercial calculations, including rapid addition, per- centage in its varied phases, short work in interest, equation of ac- counts, etc. Shorthand. The revised Pittman system is used, much time being required for out of class drill. The real objectives are speed and accuracy in the taking of dictation. Typewriting. The touch method is employed altogether. The Academy has a generous supply of good machines, and each student is required to spend at least one period per day in practice under the direction of the instructor. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that the Acadcmy's Com- mercial Course is distinctly a course for mature students. While younger Cadets may with Pmff take Commercial Arithmetic, they cannot with advantage be admitted to the other classes, nor can they be admitted to the Typewriting section alone. Only those Commercial students who present as many as nine aca- demic units will be ranked as frst classmen. E9 CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL FORMATIONS V. Military x 'fic MILITARY STAFF' AS a preliminary to an intelligent understanding of the military system at Castle Heights, it is essential that prospective patrons grasp one cardinal fact: The Military Department at Castle Heights is not in itsebf an end,' it is a means to an end. I t is here because experience has proved that under no other system can the boy be so successfully developed. As there are schools where the military activity is a poor thing, so there are schools where military demands crowd everything else to the wall. The one is as bad as the other. Military work at Castle Heights is confined to its own particular sphere. At the point where it reaches its maximum of actual value, it stops. I t does not encroach upon standards of scholarship or character. I t exists simply and solely because by means of it your boy can be better handled, better led, better taught, better brought to a realization ofthe whole man. x A Castle Heights, however, is a real military school. Although designed for younger boys, it is as military, in its way, as West Point is in its way. The play military school, in which a hoy merely wears a uniform, slouches through a few drills, comes down to reveille half dressed, and addresses his superior familiarly, throws away whatever advantages the civilian school might possess, and gains none of the advantages inherent in the military system. Every normal hoy has a hearty contempt for the second-rate, the sham, the imitationg and he ought to have. ' There is no imitation about the Military Department of Castle Heights. Not one Castle Heights boy in five hundred becomes, or thinks of becoming, a professional soldier. The Academy lays no emphasis on developing professional soldiers. But a Castle Heights cadet could become an efficient officer in the service of his country very quickly if he were needed-if a national emergency arose. He has had all the ground-work. He has actually had detailed instruction and practical experience that thousands of American officers who went to France had to go without. The Government did not have time to give it to them. 63 039 r A HKS X928 ,8'94,9 's FIC And the Castle Heights boy learns all this during the time when the boy in the high school and the civilian school is doing nothing. First, what are the requisites of a soldier? He must be physically fit, mentally alert, and morally straight. Unless he has these qualifications, it is impossible that he should be a good soldier. The high school and the civilian school undertake to develop your boy mentally--to some degree morally. The real military school must work day in and day our for the three- fold development of spirit, mind, body. The idealism that it teaches directs the trained mind to function usefully through the developed body. ln all the world there is no school plan that can compare with it. Most effective, for example, is its method of inculcating initiative and leadership. The cadet's first test comes when he goes on sentinel duty. Definite responsibilities are laid on him. For the time being, even though he be only fourteen years old, he occupies a position where not even the Commandant may approach him except formally and with the utmost respect. He halts all who would cross his post, permitting none to pass until they have satisfied his challenge. The Senior Cap- tain is of less consequence, on that post and at that time, than he. When emergencies arise, he handles them. The preservation of discipline there is his, and his alone, unless he chooses to summon the Corporal of the Guard, which he will not do unless he must. He is tremendously alert: he thinks quicklyg he acts promptly. He is obliged to. Next he is likely to become a corporal in his company. In this capacity he finds himself in charge of seven men. They constitute his Squad. He can make it or break it. Again there is demanded of him every ounce of leadership he has in him. If he has not this quality, he ITIUSY develop it, or he cannot hope to hold his office. Some hundreds of other cadets want it. A little later he may find hlmself a line Sergeant, with added responsibilities, or a top sergeant, with still more on his shoulders. They must be big and broad to hold lt UP' for the l30Y is becoming a man, with a man's outlook. Eventually, after he has proved himself, the chevrons of a commissioned officer are within his grasp. Here as first or second lieutenant he is in joint charge with two other officers of some ,seventy-five men, or, as captain, their acknowledged leader. They 65 N-,J - xr' ' B COMPANY A COMPANY look to him for encouragement, advice, correction, enthusiasm- everything. Perhaps he may even climb to that highest of cadet ranks, the Senior Captaincy, when not only a single company, but also the entire Corps of Cadets acknowledges his supremacy. Nothing else can give a boy what this training gives him. DISCIPLINE Discipline at Castle Heights is that system of control by means of which cadets cannot help receiving certain dehnite benefits from the Academic Department on the one hand and from the Military Department on the other. It is one thing for a school to ofer a boy advantages, most schools do that. It is quite another thing to persuade a boy to accept the advantages provided for himg few schools do this. As soon as a new cadet enters Castle Heights, he is given a copy of the Cadet Regulations. These are explicit. They tell him every- thing he needs to know about what is expected of him. After he has been allowed a reasonable period in which to adjust himself to his new environment, these Regulations become his daily rule of life. Then the building-up process begins. Whenever a cadet does the right thing, he reaps the reward. This may not always be definite and immediate, but it comes. The cadet soon understands. There are certain privileges that he wants, holiday afternoons that he would like to enjoy, military and academic d.istinctions that he covets. Whenever he does the wrong thing, he pays the price. Nobody storms at him. Nobody threatens him. Nobody lays hands on him. The impersonal machine takes care of it. The boy is a rational creature. In a surprisingly short time he learns that the more he gives of the best there is in him, the happier he is. And this law operates for twenty-four hours each day. when he fails to prepare a lesson, he has committed' a military Offense- Probably he will Spend an hour in delinquency study-hall that f1ftem00f1f between drill and parade. If his class failure is l'10t0l'10USly bad, he may be reported for academic neglect, and he is reminded Of this by hfwing to walk extra duty during recreation time. If his grades are Consistently poor, he goes under academic confine- 67 D COMPANY C COMPANY ment, which means that he cannot leave post until they are improved. He begins to study! He is taught how to prepare his quarters for inspection. The Hoor is swept: every drawer is open, its contents neatly arranged: his bed is made up with clean linen: his uniforms hang on certain hooks: his clothing is folded thus and so on open shelves: the broom is behind the door: his polished shoes are in a row under the foot of the bed: there is no trash behind the radiator, no dust on the top of the dresser: his person is immaculate from his toes to the top of his head. If he offends in any of these respects, he walks extra duty. He begins to bc neat and orderly! From reveille until taps he is under authority. He spends three- fourths of the day doing as he is told. Curiously enough, he does not object to it. Section marchers tell him, non-coms tell him, cadet commissioned officers tell him, sentries tell him, faculty officers tell him. He is told when to sit down and when to stand up, when to eat and when to stop eating, when to enter his room, when he may leave it, when to keep silent, when he may speak, when to go to bed at night and when to get up in the morning. Nobody tells him anything but once. He never talks back. He never argues. Within a month he would never dream of questioning an order. He is fitting himself to give orders. He begins to obey! He is punctilious in the rendering of courtesy to his superiors. He salutes with a snap. He jumps to attention when an officer-passes him in the hall or enters his quarters. He prefixes his remarks with Silt He knocks at a door once, and waits. He reports his presence deferentially, 011 approaching those of higher rank than his own. He begins to be respecU'uI! At first it seems to him that military school life is made up of countless impossible requirements. He forgets to take his book to ClaSS'af1d Pays the Price. He turns his head in ranks, forgetting that he 15 at atteHti0r1-and pays the price. He neglects to wear his bloflse Cl0Wfl t0WI1-and pays the price. He fails to hear the bugle, he IS a .half minute late getting to his quarters, he is in such a hurry at reveille that he leaves off his leggings-and pays the price, In two weeks he is looking ahead as he never looked ahead in his life before. He begins to think! 69 ,fr-xg-34,4-' T-'T ' - X M if X4 N481 125: . T-S3'k E'5, -A ' - f'?.':Al?'- ' t 'i 1 I ' ,- t Y - : ,-. fi X -. .....

The ideal of discipline at Castle Heights is nothing but a continuous efort to apply 100 per cent. common sense. THE HONOR SYSTEM Yet any system of discipline that failed to take into consideration the higher nature of the boy would be a specious pretext. All its results would he on the surface. It would he a thing of shadow, not of substance. Every Castle Heights cadet lives under the Honor System. His word is good. If it is not good, he leaves the Academy. When a cadet is reported, he goes to the Commandant's office, where the charge against him is read to him. He may reply, Sir, the report is correct, or Sir, the report is correct: may I explain? in which case he is given every opportunity to explain the circum- stances: or he may say, Sir, the report is incorrect, upon which the charge is at once removed. This same implicit trust characterizes the reception of the cadet's every official utterance or written statement. When the Cadet Officer of the Day signs his inspection return, he certifies on honor to the strict performance of his duty. When the Cadet Division Officer checks .up at call to quarters, he merely knocks at the door and calls Right? The reply, Right, Sir, signifies the orderly's statement, on his honor, that the cadets supposed to be in the room are present. When a cadet says in the class-room, Sir, I am excused from reciting to-day, his word is accepted. Through examination period the same high standard of ideals prevails. The Honor System has been unanimously endorsed and adopted by the Corps of Cadets of Castle Heights as the present and future standard of the Academy. The administration of the system is in the hands of an Honor Council of cadets appointed by the Commandant, and approved by the President, with whom always sits a faculty officer. In the rare instances in which matters come before this tribunal for adjudication, 71 5 CADET STAFF no extreme step is ever taken until the case has been carefully re- viewed before a Faculty Court. The Corps of Cadets, acting under the Honor System, is unanimously pledged not to haze, lay hands on, or humilate any new cadet. A DAY AT CASTLE HEIGHTS Castle Heights has a happy suggestion for those fathers and mothers who entrust their sons to its care: ' Let the clock at home time the boy at school. Castle Heights is prepared to tell you, in advance, just what your boy in all likelihood will be doing at any hour of the day or night while he is a cadet at the Academy. Q The rigid military system and the unescapable oversight make this possible. The cadet day at Castle Heights begins at 6:20 A. M., when first call sounds. Reveille is five minutes later: and if you look at your clock at 6:35, when assembly is sounding on the Hilltop, you may know that the cadet body, your son among its members, is in company formation, and that his name is being called by a first sergeant. He is fully uniformed. During the good weather of the Fall and Spring he immediately goes through setting-up exercises in the open air, after which he hurries to put his quarters in order for police inspection. His room, by the way, must remain in perfect condition until dinner, for at some hour in the morning it will be inspected again by a faculty officer. ' . When your clock at home points to 7 o'clock, your boy is going in to breakfast at the Academy. At the word of command, the long lines march steadily and silently, every head to the front, into the mesfyhell' Where YO'-11' Son goes immediately to his chair, standing leehmel lt at attention until he hears the command Seats There is a movement Of Chairs, and again a silence until the command Rest The tables aCC0mm0date eight or ten cadets each, the ranking men at Elie laead and foot respectively.

Dinner is at I :IO P. M. Your son has by this time probably had to meet nine or ten formations, and has nine or ten times answered to his name. Had he failed at any formation to answer to his name, he would have been checked up at once. Had his name then not appeared on the official absentee list, a guard would be looking for him in two minutes more. Your clock at home is still keeping time for your boy at school. At 2 P. M. come drill for the companies and practice for the band. The band is one of the features of Castle Heights life. It is directed by a competent faculty officer, and liberal allowances are made cadets who are proficient on the various band instruments fsee page 935. The companies march to the drill Held, and there are instructed in close order or extended order drill, or in the ceremonies. The entire Battalion may go through Butts Manual, with music, a remarkable and beautiful set of exercises executed with the rifie. One company may go to the target range, another on a practice march, a third to do bayonet work, a fourth to study methods of attack and defense in trench warfare. Sometimes signalling or grenade throwing is the order of the day: or perhaps there is a field problem, in which the Corps works out over hill and valley certain practical points arising in battle. In fact, on every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon, from 2 to 3:l5, you may know that your boy is building up brain and body in the open air, inclement weather alone interfering. On such rare afternoons this time is devoted to lectures by members of the military staff on such subjects as hygiene, minor tactics' ma-I9 reading. and military history.

The program is changed, however, on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. These are the recreation days. ln the afternoons all are free for outdoor games, for hikes and expeditions, for strolls to town and perhaps a visit to the motion picture house-all, that is, except those who have demerits. These spend the afternoon in walking extra duty, one hour for each demerit. On Saturday morning comes the most rigid inspection of the week, Hrst of quarters and then personally of the cadet under arms. The mother may well glance at the clock and think of her son at 10:30 A. Nl. Saturdays, but she will scarcely be able to dream of the incredible neatness of which her boy is now proving capable, or to conceive it possible that he should ever clean up a room to such an unbelievable degree of perfection. But he does, and he is proud of his accomplishment. lmagine yourself without a servant, and your son, having done all his own work, inviting you to enter, and challenging you to Hnd one handkerchief folded the wrong way, one messy spot in the soap-dish. one particle of trash on the floor, one book out of place, one drawer in disorder, one odd or end shoved out of sight, or one atom of dust any- where!

Supper is Served at 6130 P. M., after which reports are answered 'to the Commandant or his assistant. At 7:20 another bugle sounds 77 SENIOR CLASS ESCORT TO THE COLORS first call, and at 7:39 follows call to quarters, marking the beginning of a period which is perhaps scarcely possible to be duplicated in all school life outside that of the rigidly military institution. Before the last note of this bugle, your boy is in his quarters, to study until 9:40. The big buildings are quiet: the long halls deserted except for the figure, here and there, of a faculty officer or a cadet ofhcer on official duty. A glass panel is let into every door, and through these, as he passes along, the officer glances into each room. Should he enter, the occupants would have to stand at attention: but he does not interfere with their work. This is the study hour. Rarely does the officer disturb the cadets who are at work. And there is no visiting from room to room. For more than two uninterrupted hours your boy has absolute quiet in which to prepare his tasks of the morrow. At 9:40 a welcome bugle sets the cadets free. This, however, lasts but a few minutes, as at 9:50 a second call to quarters sounds, followed by taps at I0 o'clock. - And then-real silence. You may look at your clock at home and know that however quiet your sitting-room, it is no quieter than the surroundings in which your boy is going to sleep. Let the Officer of the Day's sabre clank a little as he goes from floor to floor on his final inspection: let the faculty'ofHcer's flashlight throw a lance of brightness across the bed-these are nothing to Castle Heights cadets. They have been through a full day, and another one will begin at 6:20 A. M. tomorrow. i MILITARY PERSONNEL While every faculty officer at Castle Heights is in uniform and all Cofffpefate in maintaining the military aspect of school life, the cadet's mllftefy Instruction Proper is in the hands of officers who by 'long training and Cxliierience are peculiarly adapted for this special work. At. the head of the military staff is the Army detail, an ofHcer of the Umted States Army 6Specially set aside by the War Department to act for the Academy in an advisory capacity. Next comes the Qommandant of Cadets, who is also the executive head of the dis- Clplmenfff the SCl1Q0l. Then follow the various tactical officers, who, in ffddltlon to thelf teaching in the class-room and their disciplinary duties 011 their own Divisions, have special oversight of the different company organizations. 79 K XX. uni,-N-1, THE.

Q 4 ,.,r, OF CADETS -s I , R. O. T. C. Every cadet at Castle Heights is in a sense a Government student, in that he is a member of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps Unit established at the Academy. The object of the Government in establishing these Units is, by systematic and standard methods of training, to qualify students at civil educational institutions as reserve officers, so that in time of national emergency there may be a sufficient number of educated men, trained in military science and tactics, to officer and lead intelligently the units of the large armies upon which the safety of the nation will depend. In the carrying out of this plan, the War Department each year. details at the Academy an Army officer as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. The present detail is Captain Charles L. Steel, QD. O. LQ, U. S. A. An Army sergeant is likewise detailed here by the War Department. . 4 GOVERNMENT SUMMER CAMP Each summer the War Department conducts, at one of its modern camps, a summer school and encampment for cadets of the R. O. T. C. The privileges and benehts of this camp are open to all Castle Heights cadets, the Government not only paying transpor- tation both ways, but also outlitting and subsisting the cadet during the six weeks period. A large group of Castle Heights boys invariably avail themselves of this generous offer. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION Every Castle Heights cadet is given a careful and thorough PhYSiCal examination: and while, on the one hand, no boy is admitted tc' the Academy who cannot perform military duty, so, on the other hand, no cadet IS permitted to tax himself beyond his natural ability. 81 xy Order of the Day Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday Wednesday Saturday Sunday First Call ,,,,.,,,,. 6:20 6:20 6:20 7:20 Reveille ................,,..,.. 6:25 6:25 6:25 7:25 Setting Up Exercises ..... 6:35 6:35 6-35 ..........

There are no dull moments at Castle Heights. Entertainments, minstrel shows, vaudeville, fraternity life, hikes, team suppers, literary societies, the orchestra, athletics, company competitions, moving pictures, encampment, barbecues-these and more make up the kaleidoscopic round of a cadet's life. These things follow seasons of honest study and hard drill. That is what adds the real spice to the enjoyment of them. It is the com- bination of honest work and wholesome fun that makes the Castle Heights cadet proud of all that his smart uniform stands for. DANCES V Well conducted and carefully supervised dances, both formal and informal, are held at intervals through the school year. These are under the management of the Cotillion Club of the Corps of Ca- dets, membership inwhich is open to every Castle Heights boy. Faculty officers and their wives are always present at these dances, and nothing is tolerated to which the most fastidious could object. Under no conditions are cadets permitted to attend dances held out- side the jurisdiction of the Academy. BAND AND ORCHESTRA No activity at Castle Heights is the source of more pride and satisfaction than the Cadet Band and Orchestra, both of which are under the direction of Captain W. C. Atkinson. . The greater part of both organizations is made up of cadets who, with little or no proficiency to begin with, have been taught by the Director ffor the roster and instrumentation of the Band, see Page 88l' with the purpose, however, of attaining still higher musi- 93 i WASHINGTON LITERARY SOCIETY JEFFERSON LITERARY SOCIETY cal standards, a number of scholarships are allotted yearly to band musicians of ability. These differ in value according to the pro- ficiency of the cadet, but the Academy is always glad to enter into correspondence on this subject. Cadets who have a slight knowl- edge of their instrument may, by being assigned to the Band, obtain valuable instruction without cost. All cadets, whether members of the Band or not, have the privilege of arranging for private lessons on any band instrument at very unusual rates. A feature of the I922-23 session will be a number of lectures on the general subject of musical culture and appreciation. In connection with the Band, the Academy also maintains a Bugle Corps, membership in which can generally be arranged, and especially if a new cadet already is some- what familiar with the infantry bugle. The Cadet Orchestra is a less formal organization than the Band, but is none the less enjoyable. Made up largely from the ranks of the former body, it includes also cadets who play the xylophone, the flute, the violin, the guitar, the mandolin, the ukulele, or anything else that will contribute to the musical concord. The Orchestra al- ways makes a number of public appearances, both at the Academy and elsewhere, and adds largely to the enjoyment of cadet life. LITERARY SOCIETIES Well managed literary societies furnish a distinct addition to the life of the Academy. Every cadet isa member of one or the other of these organizations, and takes his place in turn on the program. The societies are supervised by faculty officers attached to the English Department, and offer unusual opportunities for training and prac- tice in declamation, essay writing, reading, and debate, both prepared and impromptu. . 6 FRATERNITY LIFE . With the consent of the authorities, and under the immediate supervision of the Commandant, five secondary school Greek letter fraternities, the Pi Delta Pi, the Sigma Delta Epsilon, the Sigma Phi Omega, the Sigma Theta Chi, and the Tau Delta Tau, maintain chapters at Castle Heights. The following Honor Pledge, signed by every member of each fraternity, indicates the high standard under which these organi- zations exist: 95 SCABBARD AND SABRE. STAFF I, John Jones, about to become a member of the X Fraternity in Castle Heights lVlilitary Academy, do solemnly pledge my most sacred word of honor as a soldier' and a gentlemang That personally and as a member of the Fraternity I will stand by the good name, the reputation, the discipline, the honor, and the constituted authorities of the Academy: That I will be a party to the pledging or initiating of a member of this chapter only after the President and Commandant of the Acad- emy have given their formal consent: That I will not take part in or, if I can help it, allow any gam- bling, drinking, card playing, or immoral practices to be carried on in the Fraternity's quarters, That I will be active in bringing about the immediate expulsion of any member who shall be insubordinate, mutinous, or rebellious against Academy discipline, or who shall be guilty of any dishonorable act, the interpretation of such conduct, in case of difference of opinion. to be left with the Commandant: That I will immediately abide by the decision of the school authorities in the event that my chapter is ordered to discontinue, and that, such order having come to my attention, I will attend no more meetings, wear my pin or insignia no longer, and will not assist or in any way encourage any continuance of the chapter sub rosag - That I will abide by the regulations imposed by the school authorities regarding Fraternity membership. Beginning with the coming scholastic year, none of these or- ganizations will be permitted at any time to conduct meetings off of the Academy grounds. CADET SHOWS No year passes at Castle Heights without its amateur perform- ances of one kind or another-a play or two by Punch and Judy, the dramatic club, a minstrel show, enlisting the aid of the cadet or- chestrag a side-splitting vaudeville, or some other event of histrionic nature. These enterprises are always supervised and directed by faculty officers, and are enthusiastically supported by the cadet body and the citizens of Lebanon.

This is a bright and interesting news sheet, devoted to the life and activities of the Academy. It is prepared entirely by the cadets themselves, under the direction of the English Department. I-IALLowE'EN BARBECUE One hilarious occasion of the school year is the old-fashioned Hallowe'en barbecue given by Colonel Mathis. The enftire Corps of Cadets, with faculty officers, their wives and guests, hike into the woods or mountains, or out along the shores of the rippling Cumber- land, and there enjoy the old time Lucullan delights made famous by a past generation. Y. M. C. A. Nothing contributes more to the upbuilding of right ideals at Castle Heights than the fine Y. M. C. A. organization that has been built up by the cadets themselves under the sympathetic and helpful direction of Captain H. L. Cleveland. Realizing that religious ex- ercises in a boys' school too often become perfunctory and of ques- tionable value, Captain Cleveland has approached this important problem from a new angle, and has developed a highly efficient and useful Y. lVl. C. A. body, under the supervision of a Cadet Cabinet. This organization meets regularly on Sunday evenings, and is, besides, instrumental in bringing a number of helpful speakers to the Academy during the year. SPRING ENCAMPMENT While the Spring Encampment, when the entire school goes under canvas for a week, is not strictly speaking a social feature of cadet life, yet the novelty of the experience, the outdoor life, the sen- try duty under the stars, the swimming and Hshing, and the many other activities of the encampment make it a particularly enjoyable period of the scholastic year. ATHLETICS . For years the athletic teams of Castle Heights have been famous through that part of the country of which the Academy is a centre. Made up of genuinely enrolled students who are imbued by school spirit. the love of the game, and an admiration for clean sport, these organizations have always been able to be counted on to go through every season as sportsmen and gentlemen. - 99 51. 1555 .sf-QA. 4.12- I 1'f,.A- - - .

RIFLE TEAM Of all the competitions entered into by the Corps of Cadets none arouses more interest than the various gallery rifle matches that take place almost continuously through the year under the supervision of Major Steel, the Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Having won the Fourth Corps Area competition from twenty- three other contesting institutions, not only winning each of its in- dividual matches, but also piling up the greatest aggregate score. Castle Heights has obtained the first leg on the Area championship cup, and has the distinction of having out-shot every other Junior Unit R. O. T. C. team in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama. Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The personnel of the team is Cadet Welborne fCaptainD, Cadets Donovan, Helms, Pace L., Hamilton F., Hatch, Rominger, Neely. Seagraves D., Hain, Howell L., Meschendorf, Barker E., Cockrill, and Kirtley. Every cadet takes part in the rifie work, and each has full oppor- tunity. to qualify as a member of the Academy first team. A FOOTBALL Football, the sport glorious!-for, certainly, most red-blooded boys feel that way about it. First call for football is always a great day at Castle Heights, when new men and old men alike come streaming down on the big athletic field at the coaches' first announcement. Castle Heights is different from a good many schools in its football work-every man has his chance, and plenty of it. Frequently, as the season pro- gresses, there are six or even seven teams at work, thus affording the coaches the finest opportunity for advancing promising players from one squad to another. Most of the games are played on the home field, but the team goes away on several trips, sometimes as far as Memphis one way or Atlanta the other. One thing is true of Academy football, however, as it is of all the other sports at Castle Heights: a cadet must do passing work in all his classes before he can take any very active part. As every boy will see at once, this requirementkeeps off the teams all except the 101 BASEBALL TEAM , ,vw '. very best sort of material-men not only of the necessary aptitude and physical prowess, but also of the mental capacity to receive the finer points of skilled and careful coaching. It is a point of pride with the Corps that the class of athletes ordinarily known as Hringersn has no place on the teams, or, for that matter, in the Academy. The varsity football team for last season was as follows: Left End-THOMAS. ,I . Right End-RADFORD. Left Tackle-Sci-HLDER. Right Tackle-HELMS fCaplainJ. Left Guard-THOMAS, W. Right Guard-HAMILTON, F. CCNl6f MAASSEN. QUdffGfbdCk-COCKRILL. , Left HOU'-LILLY. Right HaU-HANCOCK Fullback-MURRAY. BASKETBALL It would be hard to find a more inspiring scene than that pre- sented on many a Friday evening during the basketball season in the Castle Heights gymnasium. It may be that the rafters are still draped in the Maroon and Gold that were placed there as decorations for the last dance, but the floor looks different as one takes his place in the circular gallery, perhaps near the Band, which is roaring out songs of victory or else the inspiring strains of the Alma Mater, while the building fairly shakes with the Academy yell as an accurately aimed shot goes to the right spot, and perhaps gives the Corps another hard-earned victory. The Academy quint for last season was: CCUfBf'ANDERSON, C. FOYWGYJSQHANCOCK, Lsscums, Monnis, W. fCaptainJ Guards--LILLY, PACE, F., Booman. BASEBALL It is in the Spring, however, that the baseball enthusiast comes in- to his own, when the big trees on the Hilltop begin to bud out, and a different sort of feeling breathes in the air. Gray flannel uniforms and maroon jerseys make their appearance along the avenue, and the crack of the horsehide against the willow or its soft thud as it shoots into the Pitcher's glove sounds on every side. Then, when the games come, no less than in football season do the cadets fill the bleachers, cheer-leaders out in front, and a host of well-wishers from Lebanon encouraging the team to win and yelling wildly for a three-base drive. 103 '- L ,E TRACK SQUAD The following made up the Acaclemy's nine last Spring: Pitchers--AMBROSE.

TRACK For the last five years at Castle Heights, as at most preparatory schools, there has been a growing interest in perhaps that finest form of outdoor sport-track. The Academy teams have been remarkably fortunate in this field of competition. Several Southern preparatory school records were broken by Heights cadets last year, and the team again came off victor in the great prep school meet held annually by the University of the South. ln all these forms of sport the Castle Heights cadet has the ad- vantage of superior and careful coaching. Captain Luna, the head coach and athletic director, has general supervision over all the athle- tics, being ably assisted last year by Major Gillespie in baseball, by Captain Cleveland in basketball, by Captains Cleveland and Ingram in football, and by-Captain Ingram in track. All these officers will again be members of the Academy's l922-23 faculty. PS' 105 Y. M. C. A. CABINET VII. Pinanc ia! HONOR COUNCIL y Fmanciat After this presentation of the varied and distinctive advantages offered at Castle Heights, it might be the natural conclusion that to give a boy the benefit of all thislwould necessarily cost a great deal of money. It costs comparatively little. Castle Heights is not an expensive school. On the other hand, Castle Heights does not try to compete with the cheap school. It is not an institution of that type. Efficient officers and teachers cost too much. Equipment has to be maintained, ln every respect the Academy must be kept abreast of modern edu- cational demands. You, as a patron, would not be satisfied with anything less. And, after all, buying school life and advantages for a boy is very much the same as buying anything else: one gets out of the purchase the value one puts into it. Castle Heights endeavors to give the maximum of return for the minimum of cost. The fixed charges for the year, which cover tuition, board, heat, light, laboratory fees, athletic dues fincluding admission to all ath- letic contests on the l-lilltopb, library and literary society dues, a reasonable amount of plain laundry fsee Page IZID, ordinary medical attention, and the use of two Government O. D. uniforms together with rifle and accoutrements, are S64-2.00. This sum, less the registration payment of SSI 5.00, is properly due and payable in full upon the matriculation of the cadet at the be- ginning of the scholastic year. For those patrons who prefer a different arrangement, however, the Academy offers a part-payment plan: 3515.00 with the application: 35350.00 on September I3: 5200.00 on November 25, and the remainder on January l5. A deduction of ten per cent. of the fixed charges is made when two or more cadets enter from the same immediate family. The formal entrance of a cadet for all or part of the scholastic year, as may be specified, constitutes a contract between the Academy and the patron. Deductions or refunds will not be made on account of Withdrawal, desertion, or expulsion, or under any other circum- stances except protracted illness. 109 ,K.., . ,Y UNIFORMS Castle Heights being an essentially military school, its cadets are continuously in uniform. This expense, however, cannot be considered an extra, since the total clothing cost is considerably less than would be necessary to keep a boy well clothed either at a civilian school or at home. Attention is first .called to the fact that the United States Government furnishes every cadet, free of charge, with two complete service uniforms. These the boy wears three-fourths of the time, so that his dress outht, which is the only part of his uniform for which he pays, is saved for such occasions as military ceremonies, church, social affairs, and furloughs. The Government's attitude is so gener- ous as regards these O. D. uniforms that a cadet may entirely wear out a blouse, for example, during a year's hard service, and yet, when he returns it to the Armory at the close of the year, he is receipted for it without cost, and when he returns the following year he will be issued a new one. No expense of any kind attaches to this Government issue unless some article is lost or inexcusably damaged, in which case, as in the case of abuse of Academy property, a statement will be sent covering the cost of replacing or repairing. With two service uniforms furnished him, then, the cadet needs to purchase only his dress uniform, which consists of black leather puttees, gray field breeches, gray Canadian-cut blouse, garrison cap, gray overcoat with scarlet-lined cape, and black leather belt- The total cost of this outfit is 5B84.00. Old cadets will note the following prices at which new articles of dress uniform may be obtained: Garrison cap and device . . JB 4.25 Gray' overcoat ..... . 34.90 Gray blouse . . . 23.35 Gray breeches ....... , l2,5O Leather puttees QCordovanD ...... . 7.00 Leather belt and plate ............. 2.00 N It should be noted that all these articles are made especially for Castle Heights, and that each uniform is tailored to measure. The Academy feels that it can conscientiously state its belief that no other military school furnishes the fine quality of material which goes into these uniforms at such a low price. 110 lnasmuch as these close figures on cost are made possible only by the promptest business settlement with the Academy's custom tailors, it is necessary that funds be remitted to cover uniform expense by the time the manufacturer's representatives arrive to take measure- ments. This is customarily done within two or three weeks after the Academy opens. Fit and satisfaction are, of course, guaranteed. It now begins to be seen how surprisingly inexpensive Castle Heights is: during the long scliool year there are no bills for civilian clothes. A boy has no use for civilian clothes at the Academy. A cadet is not permitted to wear such clothing at any time, nor to keep it in his quarters. The purchase of an Easter suit, therefore, is not part of the expense of maintaining a boy at Castle Heights. He should not even bring with him any outer civilian clothing at all except that in which he arrives. Within two hours he will be in Government uniform. When he comes home Christmas, he will come in his uniform, and this he may wear with distinction during the holidays. You will be delighted with his appearance. WHAT TO BRING Cadets should bring with them the following articles, any or all of which, however Cexcept pillowsl, may be obtained through the Academy Commissary at a saving of from fifteen to twenty per cent below usual retail prices: A copy of the Bible Cat costD. A small standard English dictionary. l rug, 3 by 6 feet. 6 face towels. 4 bath towels. 4 single sheets, 3114 by 61f2 feet.' 2 pairs of blankets Cno counterpane or spreadj. l pillow. 3 pillow slips. 3 pyjamas or nightshirts. I2 white handkerchiefs. 6 pairs of durable socks. Underwear. I laundry bag. l bathrobe. Toilet articles. 111 SUMMER SHADE The following will also be needed, all of which must be obtained through the Academy Commissary for the sake of uniformity of appearance: I black tie, regulation, 75 cents. I pair black shoes, Army last, 36.00. I pair tan shoes, Army last, 56.00. 2 gray flannel shirts, R. O. T. C., each 33.75. 2 soft white Oxford shirts, with collar, each 33.00. I pair woolen gloves, khaki, 31.00. I combination raincoat and overcoat, service, Qprice to be de- termined.l Statements for these articles, as well as for purchases of dress uniform or parts, books, writing material, etc., will be sent monthly. It is essential that sheets, towels, etc., be marked plainly with the cadet'sfull namei Marking with initials only is insuficient, and is sure to lead to inconvenience. ALLOWANCES AND SPENDING MONEY Since Castle Heights cadets are not encouraged to spend money uselessly, parents and guardians are urgently requested to limit the amount of pocket money they send their sons and wards. I The Academy cannot be responsible for wasteful expenditure by cadets, or for the forming of habits of extravagance, if boys are furnished with funds indiscriminately. It is recommended that S52 a week be the maximum amount o f spending money allowed a cadet. Younger boys need less. The Academy will be glad to act as banker for any cadet, and to issue to him weekly such funds as may be deposited to his credit for this purpose. I t cannot be too strongly urged that cadets be not allowed to carry accounts with the local banks, and that under no circumstances shall they be empowered to sign checks in the name of parents or guardians. Patrons will also note that Academy faculty ofhcers are expressly prohibited from endorsing checks and drafts offered by cadets. LOCAL CREDIT Unless the arrangement is personally and specifically made between the local merchant and the parent, the Academy likewise strongly Cleprecates the opening of any credit account in Lebanon by a 113 cadet: and it distinctly disclaims any responsibility for accounts thus irregularly opened. Castle Heights cadets do not need credit accounts. The Academy has already, in the first pages of this catalogue, requested the utmost co-operation of parents in all matters affecting the upbuilding of the boy. It desires here again to emphasize the great importance of curbing every tendency on the part of a cadet towards the useless expenditure of money. Castle Heights is doing its utmost to bring its necessary costs to the lowest Hgures. The boy should not be allowed to increase these unnecessarily, either to the burdening of the home purse or to the formation of habits of personal extravagance. k f-sv mg Zfiwfq :gig 'L 0 9 : 'dim 'Q 114 VIII. isce11ane0us - 'Q H cw Y0 CLEVELAND PHILADELP IR cm eo .

Excepting on Sundays, there are eight trains daily in each direction. Nashville, through its strategic location as a railroad centre, is easily reached by fast through trains from any direction. LETTERS I-IoME Every Castle Heights cadet is required by Regulations to write at least one letter home weekly. These letters are collected on Sun- day afternoon, and are carefully checked over. Failure on the part of any cadet to fulfill this duty brings a demerit penalty. QUARTERS Cadet quarters at Castle Heights are furnished comfortably but simply. Each cadet has his own bed and chair. Other furnishings are used in common. Two and three cadets share a room. Cadets -should not bring with them pennants, curtains, draperies, decorations, or pictures other than framed photographs. The Spartan simplicity of his quarters is a matter of pride to the old cadet. Every room at Castle Heights is an outside room, electrically lighted, steam heated, with running hot and cold water, with abun- dant sunlight and ventilation. MEDICAL ATTENTION One entire end of the first floor of the Main Barracks is set aside as an Infirmary and as quarters for the resident trained nurse. Here the cadets who need attention are continuously under skilled super- vision. In addition, the Academy's Post Surgeon, a very competent physician, visits the Academy daily at sick call, and passes upon the condition of any cadet who may present himself. No extra charge is rnade for ordinary attention. Should a cadet become seriously ill, his parents are at once advised, and such arrangements are then made for his care as may be necessary. Castle Heights conducts an unceasing warfare against every form 117 jv 49-,. -mt. .wx INTERIOR OF LIBRARY of venereal disease. No cadet with a disease of this nature is permitted to remain in the Academy. FIRE PROTECTION The Hilltop buildings have steel fire escapes affording easy exit from all rooms, and in addition are equipped with a supply of hand fire extinguishers recommended by the Tennessee Inspection Bureau. The Main Barracks is furnished as well with two forty-gallon chemical extinguishers mounted on wheels for ready portability and with three separate hose services of IZ5 feet each, attached to a tank of 7,000 gallon capacity. Still further protection is afforded by the Lebanon Fire Depart- ment, which has recently installed an auto fire engine of modern construction, capable of throwing water to the fourth Hoor. TOBACCO Cadets who have passed their sixteenth birthday and whose parents or guardians file written consent with the Academy may smoke pipes in conformity with regulations. The demerit penalty for smoking cigarettesis heavy, and is rigidly enforced. Cadets detected for the third time in cigarette smoking are expelled. HOLIDAYS AND FURLOUCHS Reference to the Academy Calendar will show the holidays regularly granted during the scholastic year. Applications for leaves of absence at other times, or for furloughs over the week end, will be refused unless accompanied by the written request of parents, together with a statement of the emergency justi- fying the furlough. , Parents are urged not to make requests unless they are absolutely necessary- The cadet as well as the Academy is invariably the sufferer from consequent interruption and demoralization. It is especially urged that a cadet's teeth and eyes be carefully looked over and attended to before he reports for duty. 119 COTILLION CLUB LAUNDRY ALLOWANCE The laundry allowance for each cadet is as follows: 2 shirts fnot silkj. l pair pyjamas, or nightshirt. 2 suits underwear. 2 pairs of socks fnot silkb. 4 handkerchiefs. Z single sheets. l pillow slip. Articles sent out in excess of this allowance will be charged for at regular laundry rates. ' REPORTING PROMPTLY As one of the great lessons to be learned at Castle Heights is punctuality and promptness, parents are urged most strongly to see to it that their sons report for work on the day they are required to report. THE BLACKSTONE CADETS The Castle Heights catalogue would be incomplete this year without some mention of the fifty-odd cadets and three faculty officers of the Blackstone Military Academy, Blackstone, Virginia, who found a temporary home on the Hilltop when their own main barracks was destroyed by fire. Even experienced educators questioned the wisdom, in the middle of the scholastic year, of introducing a body of a half hundred cadets from one institution, with their own ways, methods of discipline, and daily routine, into the midst of another institution, necessarily different, and with a much larger cadet body. It is a tribute to both schools that the amalgamation was effected with surprisingly little friction. Unce enrolled as Castle Heights cadets, many of the visitors participated in the school athletics, and won for themselves places on the various teams. AS Castle Heights welcomed them, so she has bidden them goodby alfd C911 Speed, with the hope that they, too, will feel some of the affection with which the Academy cadet regards his Alma Mater. 121 Q ,-4- S-..
