Captain Champeny s Message to the Corps Dear Cadets: It is the purpose of a message of tins kind. I take it. to acquaint you with my feelings about the St. Thomas Cadet Corps, and to express more or less formally the ideals and objectives which 1 consider essential to such a unit. With these things in mind, therefore, and with the hope that what I say will find a responsive note in the minds of all loyal cadets, I am writing this. Let me say, first of all, that 1 am delighted with my assignment to St. Thomas. One might go far to find such another institution, supported, as it is, by the loyalty of administration, parents and students. Moreover, the atmosphere of striving to achieve which is so characteristic of our school is mighty rare outside of it: this, alone, would be enough to recommend it, I believe, though it had no record of accomplish- ment already to its credit. But beyond that which St. Thomas is or has been, let us look to what St. Thomas can be. In my opinion it has the potentialities of a bright future, particularly in the military work. In that line it has the fundamentals upon which to build the most ambitious achievements: a loyal spirit, excellent traditions, a fine uniform, and a com petent start of junior instructors. Very few school have more; many must get along with far less. Our goal, therefore, can well be of the highest. But what of the ideals which arc to guide us in the reaching of this goal? just this: let them be in keeping with the highest in Christian and military activ- ity, with the two great forces which you serve God and Country. Broadly speaking, nothing more need be said. Concluding, 1 should like to extend my congratulations to the entire corps, to the senior class, and to the editors of this Kaydet. Very Sincerely, A. S. Champeny, Capt. Inf. D. O. L. [21 }
