X Q Journalism supplies an excellent outlet for the energies of boys who like to write and it is a popular pursuit at M. A. The class in journalism receives much valuable instruction and actual experience in writing. This class writes, edits, and publishes the M. M. A. Eagle, one of the most out- standing cadet newspapers in the country, which chronicles all events of interest at the Academy for the benefit of all cadets, parents and alumni. lf 1 .14 as--si. N A, ,- The M. M. A. Dramateers, an organization of cadets actively interested in amateur theatricals, offers much valuable training in dramatics and provides a number of good enter- tainments for the entire school. Five or six plays, ranging from one to three acts, are presented during the year. These include all types of plays--tragedy, comedy, fantasy, farce, and mystery. Occasionally the plays produced are written by one or more members of the Dramateers organization. In addition to these offerings, a number of prominent speakers, singers, ministers, and persons distinguished in other fields are brought to the Academy and presented dur- ing assembly exercises. Frequently musicians of note come to the Academy and present fine programs of classical music for the cadets, the faculty and members of their families. 2 ff. x .pk A

FN 01 .SPEBIM ABIIVIIIES... , Your boy will find a rich variety of extra-curricular activities at M. M. A. to provide profitable em- ployment for his idle hours and energies and to broaden his cultural back-ground. Some of these activities include public speaking, dramatics, debating, and journalism. Regular courses of instruc- tion are given in each of these and a number of other activities. A period each morning is set apart as an uActivity Period and each cadet is permitted to participate in the activities which most appeal to him and from which the institution feels he will gain the greatest benefit. Many helpful organi- zations and the discovery of latent individual talents result from these various activities. Q fllightl These cadets, working under the di- rection of an expert coach, learn to speak in public, and to express themselves forcefully and concisely, in their study of forensics. mx ' Y, '9- 11 KK
