This end was reached through various class- es in leadership and United States military history in which patriotism, as well as personal honor and moral uprightness, was stressed. Another area of the Corps' leadership training program, which was greatly emphasized by its Com- mandant, Lt. Col. James W. Norwood, was the ov- er-all academic standing of each individual cadet. As a result of this increased stress on the scholastic facet of cadet life, the Corps' academic average improved noticeably. By gr aduation, the cadet had been equipped, through intensive leadership training and extensive competition, to deal with the vicissitudes of life.

Chancellor musicians played an essential role in this area-wide project. The regional competition was composed of two sessions. The first consisted of auditions by six hundred students. After the judging and elimination, especially talented stu- dents were chosen to perform at the second and fi- nal assemblage. As host school, George Wythe was responsible for housing representatives from forty- nine Virginia high schools. During the fall, the Virginia State String Orches- tra, held in Portsmith, Virginia, presented an oppor- tunity for members of the strings section to display their talents. After mid-semester exams, enthusiasm marked preparation as the Concert Band, Orchestra, and Cadet Band concentrated their efforts on the Spring Concerts.
