FoREwoRo OWN through a half century the Cadets of Washington have marched to nationwide fame. As a Corps they rank today among the foremost school military organizations. But it is Washington itself that has watched with special pride the growth and perfection of these High School Cadets. There are indeed those of us who have followed through many successive years, both as students and as teachers, the fortunes of hundreds of Cadet Companies. The Competitive Drills are part of our tradition. In civic and in national affairs in this Capital it is the Cadets who are chosen to represent the public schools. Frequently the eyes of the whole nation and even of the President himself have been focused on these schoolboys. We applaud them as they parade: we are stirred when they drill: but we admire them most as we observe them in their day-by-day activities. For this brigade of boys represents the pluck, the persistence, the initiative, the team- work, the loyalty that are most typically American. The discipline is arduous, but the achievement is character. It is thus fitting that this book which presents an annual record of their triumphs should be dedicated to one who was the first Cadet Colonel to become Principal of a Washington High School, where he still carries on the leadership of the boys under his command, teaching them to meet victory or defeat, equally, with a sense of work well done.
