New Market Ceremony, 1985 Corporal Atwill died on the field of honor sir . . . and so the roll of honor went on until the names of all ten cadets that had been killed at the battle of New Market 121 years before had been called.

Thanks to the efforts of both the cadre and the Class of 1986, this year has produced a class that the Institute can proudly call its own. In the classic position a new cadet receives the customary haircut that sets him apart from upper ' Saying Good-Bye to all that is familiar and entering into the Rat System is the first test of a new cadet ' s determination to become a VMI graduate. 2i Matriculation
