Page 116 text:

C4 ! i XVhen you see a company of small cadets swinging down the parade ground in perfect time to the music, with rhythm in their every move- ment, with a line in which a Haw cannot be found, in which every head and body is straight and erect, with the left foot of each cadet striking the ground on the first beat of every bar fother organizations take noticej, only one thought enters your mind, 1-lere comes the Bratsf' Brats, you say? NVell, maybe, but anyway no organization can boast of more spirit than can the so-called Brats. XVe think of a brat as one who is a pest, one without whom we can very well. get along. If this definition fits your idea of a brat, then it is utterly impossible to refer to lf Company as the l3rats. llowever, be that as it may, a little nickname of live letters does us no harm. l-lavc you ever stopped to consider how overconceited those academy companies are? You say no? l.et me explain what 1 mean. No doubt you have witnessed several parades and have seen all of the companies march up to the reviewing stand. Have you ever noticed the expressions of false pride come upon the faces of those larger and old cadets? Couldn't you just read on their faces, There's some pretty nice-looking girls up there. I bet they are looking at me. I want them to meet me. I know after they get a close look at me, all will be over. The battle will be won for me. I never saw that girl before, l'll bet she's looking at me. Have you ever realized that there are about three hundred cadets in the academy companies, and each one is saying to himself just what I have said above? ln the first place, the girls cou1dn't do this. and in the second place they wouldnt and who could blame them. Along comes li Company, fifty-five strong. .-X few of the smaller cadets are painfully stretching their legs in order to keep the step. They think nothing of the many feminine hearts they are breaking. Their first and only thought is to make a good showing, and few ,, are the times that they haven't done this. Nevertheless, after all has been said and done, only t the best of feeling exists between the academy com- panies and Bard Hall. A friendly rivalry exists, but . 1 this is necessary in order to make competition.
