Major McWade TO all who have ever known him. Major W. S. McWade has personified a distinct type of mankind. Blessed with a keen sense of humor, the geniality of a good fellow, the understanding sympathy of one in whose care secrets are secure, the briskness and energy of one younger than himself, the versatility of a magician, and a reliable nature, he has been honored by his cadets and all others alike as a real man. Coming to Central High School to take charge of the Military Training Department, Major McWade won his way into the hearts in a short time, although his duties as military instructor demanded proper disciplinary methods on his part. Since coming here, his rank has been promoted from captain to major. [ 21 ]

The Central High Cadet Corps Dl’RING the past year there has been an advance of some extent in the status of the cadet corps of the Minneapolis high schools. The War Department, in August, 1920, authorized the formation of a junior unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps in this city. The number of cadets was limited to five hundred, the quota of Central High School being one hundred and twenty. All equipment and uniforms are furnished by the War Department and commissioned and non-commissioned assistant instructors. The officers in charge of the cadet corps in Minneapolis are Major Tom Fox, Commandant, and Major W. S. McWade, Assistant Commandant. The cadets have been very active since last June. The Central companies, with those of West and East High Schools, spent four days in camp at Fort Snelling in June of last year. The cadets performed all the duties of soldiers including night guard and outpost duty, advance guard, target practice on the Snelling range, trench warfare and that romantic duty, kitchen police. This year there will be a camp for five days and probably a thirty-day encampment at Central with cadets from other states. In the competitive drill Central has held top honors. In June. 1920, a Central company for the second time earned the privilege to carry for another year the colors presented by the Scottish Rite Masons. December, 1920, witnessed the competition for the Lion’s Club sabre, in which Company B of Central under Captain Hugo Erickson, tied with Company A of West; and Central’s Company A, with Captain Rollin Dobbins commanding, won second place. At a second drill in January, Captain Erickson’s company won the sabre, which must be won again liefore becoming Central’s permanent property. The cadet companies also starred socially, presenting two military hops, in Central's gymnasium, and an “army feed” at North High. I 20 1
