HOW THE MILITARY AFFECTS THE DAY At 6: 15 A.M. the boys awake at the sound of the bugle. They have a brief period in which to dress for the morning setting-up exercises. These exercises are similar to those used at West Point and include the many new exercises used in the training camps during 1917 and 1918 that resulted in such marvelous physical development of the young men in the service. While the notes of Reveillei' are not considered musical by most boys in the early morning, every cadet has good reason to be thankful the rest of his life for the physical development resulting from these exercises. The reader's atten- tion is invited to the views shown on pages 66 and 67 illustrating this work. CARE OF ROOM Following the setting-up exercises, a brief period is allowed for getting quarters in order for inspection. Most boys need this lesson in orderliness. Every room must be kept in order by the occupants, taking weekly turns. Faculty officers make a careful inspection of rooms on their floors each morn- ing and more exacting inspections occur each Saturday. MEAL AND CLASS FORMATIONS Preceding each meal, the cadets are formed by companies and marched into the mess hall. During the academic part of the day each class forms separately on the outside and is marched to the recitation room by the rank- ing cadet. This requires no more time than the less orderly manner of as- sembling in nonmilitary schools, and gives much experience to officers and noncommissioned ofiicers in handling groups of cadets. FIELD WORK At least one hour a day is devoted to outdoor military drill, this being done just after the academic work of the day is iinished. In addition to the value of the training given, exercise in the open is thus guaranteed daily. I I I A VIEW IN SPECIAL WEAPONS ROOM OF TI-IE ARMORY Page Sixty
