cadet corps. It develops men who can obey as well as command, who have self-control, initiative, brains, man- ners, 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 noth- ing else in all school life. It brings out in him all that there is of the man and the gentleman. 6.

RUTHERFORD PARKS LIBRARY This lovely building was the gift of a former cadet, Rutherford Parlts of Dallas, Texas. Few schools are for- tunate in the possession of as beau- tiful and complete a centre of study and enioyment of good reading. i .t ' '1 ' 5 t as fe egcitfgtsi if ,. .if -2 - 2-if . this if Q lliHE FACULTY is literally that, the Heart of the School, the life-giving centre, from which must come the currents which energize, feed and quicken the entire body. We must have modern equipment, teacher train- ing, degrees, tests and measurements and the material things which go to assist the teacher, but after all the kind of man that teacher is, is still the supreme consid- eration. Castle Heights has four executives, of from ten to twenty-five years experience in teaching boys. Any one of these men might well be superintendent of a school. All of them teach in the classroom, subdividing the executive duties so that they will not interfere with what we consider here the most vital work at the Academy, namely, the personal contact with cadets in the class- room from clay to day. Having spent most of his life at the Academy, Colonel Armstrong is thoroughly familiar with every phase of the program. With the exception of several years spent as Dean and Head of the Depart- ment of Mathematics at Cumberland University, he has been at C. H. M. A. since 1909. Thousands of Castle Heights cadets have felt his firm, but kindly, guidance. CADETS RECEIVE PERSONAL ATTENTI Lt, Col. Ralph Lucas is the Headmaster, the one upon whom rests the direction of the academic pro- gram. A man thoroughly familiar with the academic problems of cadets, he combines the viewpoints of cadet and faculty officer most happily. The Business courses rake on vital interest under his compelling hand. He is the friend of every boy in the Academy and a wise and patient helper when a boy is in difhculty. Lt. Col. Ingram has the more or less thankless task of Com- mandant, with its disciplinary burden, but in spite of that fact the boys love and respect him for the im- partiality which accompanies his strictness. Lt. Col. Nolan, the professor of Military Science and Tactics, has the regard of every cadet in the school for his quali- ties as a gentleman and a soldier. He typifies in the highest degree the best traditions of the Service, and has identified himself with the school to a remarkable degree. Every member of the faculty is interested in bovs. Each has been chosen for outstanding ability in appeal- ing to, inspiring and developing boy-life and character. Each has been chosen for those qualities of heart and life which will live on and on in the lives of the boys whom he teaches.
