Their second annual Military Ball was the high light of their extracurricular ac- tivities. Long hours of planning and v1or- ous campaigning for a queen resulted in a striking show of brass and uniforms. Lovely Pat Lavens was voted queen by the cadettes and reigned with charm and grace.

I-Ierhei to the staff of instructors gave the cadets firsthand infor- mation about modern warfare. The year's training built up to the annual Federal and general inspection held the last of May. After the inspection and all the equipment was checked in and accounted for, cadets returned to civilian life for the summer. Lieutenant Colonel David S.
