Sixty-three In a military institute, a drum and bugle band plays an important part. They play for all meal fornlations and pa- rades. The flag is lowered upon the sounding of To the Colors by the band. They lead the Cadets Corps on several special occasions in- cluding Armistice and Memorial days. Our band is composed of eighteen members this year. They have lead- ing them, Cadet John- son, drum major. Ca- det Koppel has charge of the band at all times. This year the cadets organized a jazz band with the help of Captain Martin. They played for the cadet corps in chapel a few times and also played at the St. Patrick's day dance.

Ziegler, a new mem- ber of the staff this year, did rrzuch to further the Academy by organizing the Military Band which was received by the ca- dets with great pleasure. The Military Band was organized last year under the direction of Lt. Ziegler. At the begin- ning of the year, more than half of the band's membership was made up of new cadets, but a number of them were experienced musicians. The band has accompanied the football team to Chicago to play at the Pullman Tech game, and has also gone to Viola with the basketball team, in addition to playing for many home games. Every other Friday morning, the band enter- tains the Cadet Corps during chapel. Lt. Ziegler is the director of the band and is assisted by Cadet Disch, who is student instructor. Sixty-two

The cadets pictured above, successfully edited, proof-read, and distributed over 3600 copies of the Rough Rider, R. M. A.'s contribution to the growing list of student publications. 1 During the course of the year the paper improved so rapidly that the last issue was published entirely without faculty assistance. Cadets who Wish to become mem- bers of the Journalism class will probably have to prove their ability as writers or typists in order to help with publication in future years. From February to May 21, the cadets put out nine issues with a circulation of over 400 copies. The school year was completed by a memorial issue containing all those articles which should be re- membered. l Sixty-four . ,
