S sicdlemt Activities 1 f there is anywhere a school in which a boy works while he works, and plays while he plays, and can enjoy himsebt in either pursuit, that school is Castle Heights. - Not many boys of today shrink from a military school because it is hard The red-blooded boy wants action: he wants his school to be a man's school: and, realizing this, Castle Heights goes a step farther, not only giving him a man's school, but adding to that square- shouldered, level-eyed life a variety of social relaxations and clean pleasures. 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
