Cadets At the beginning of each year, twentyffour members of the Stripette organization are chosen to become members of the Cadets. This choice is based upon the marching possibilities of the individual. This year the Cadets bought new suits which will be left with the College as Stripette property, and which will be rented by the Cadet girls each year. A Benefit Revue was given in January. Coffee, brown bread, and baked beans were served after the revue. The school orchestra played several numbers. This was the first appearance of the season and the first performance in the new suits. The suits add much to the military appear' ance and color of the drills.
