One last hop and we shall have completed our tour of inspection of Riverside's physical equipment-at the bottom of the page Riverside's Hollywood ACADEMIC BUILDING. As indicated before. THE BAYONET is in agreement with Col. Hortons notion that buildings do not make the school: significant is the fact. however, that two factors in Riverside's property are named as fitting memorials to two fine cadets who have passed on-Charley Vaden and Paul Elkin. Significant because indicative of the fine relationship of Riverside cadets and authorities. So long as this Hue cordiality and friendship continues, Riverside will pursues a policy of avoiding editorializing and of simply recording, but for once THE BAYONET will break from policy-long enough to remark that every present cadet will treasure this book more with each passing year for its pictures of fellow cadets, for its record and illustrations of activities. for its illustrations of the buildings that formed their home for at least nine active. eventful months. And thus will that friendliness of school and cadet be per- petuated and continue.
