S. C. The Donator of the Medal for the Winning Captain, Allison Nailor llli lVashington High School Cadet Corps is an established institution. rw' The best evidence of its perma- nency is the fact that it has grown from a group of one hundred boys under a single director to an organization of lilteen hundred boys under a Professor of Mil- itary Science and Tactics and three assistant professors. Forty-four years ago, about one hundred boys in the old Central High School, organiz- ing themselves into two companies, started to . drill under the direction of Mr. George Israel, a teacher in the school. They had but fifty old rifles, and so the two companies were forced to alternate in the use of the equipment. After but a few months of drill, in May, 1883, one of these companies participated in the parade of the Grand Army of the Republic. The same year, when the Corps entered its second year of existence, Lieut. Col. Burton R. Ross, of the District Militia, was appointed permanent instructor. The second public appearance of the Corps was in the inaugural parade of President Cleve- land in 1885. The same year the Cadets ap- peared at the dedication of the lVashingtou Monument. Upon the death of Lieut. Col. Ross, Major MeCathran, of the District Na- tional Guard, was appointed instructor, and held that position until called to war in 1916. The Corps, during that time, had participated in every Inaugural Parade. Lieut. N. B. Briscoe, U. S. A., became in- structor in 1916. By that time the Corps had grown considerably, so that Lieut. Briscoe was able to organize the Brigade. XVallace M. Yater, assistant instructor and former Cadet Colonel, succeeded Lieut. Briscoe in the Fall of 1917, when the latter was called to war. During the war the Cadets assisted in the registration in the Selective Draft, for which they were awarded certificates by the VVar Department. Colonel Yater was soon suc- ceeded by his assistant, former Cadet Major Shoults. ln 1919 Major Shoults gave up his place to Lieut. Richard R. Day, U. S. M. C. The extended order drill was made a regular feature of Cadet Drill by Lieut. Day. One of the many occasions at which the Corps parti- cipated was the National Army Essay Contest Parade of May 5, 1920. The Corpsreeeived many compliments from Government Officials on this occasion. In the Fall of 1921, Lieut. Col. Wallace 'M. Craigie, U. S. A., was appointed Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Captains Strecker and Johnson were at the same time appointed Assistant Professors. The Medical Company, 2d Regiment, existing at that time, was under the direction of Dr. Yater. The year 1921-22 marked a busy one for the Corps. Two companies assisted at the Wash- ington Monument Ceremonies on February 22, 1922. The Brigade acted as guard of honor at the inauguration of President Harding, and marched in the Grant Memorial Parade. Sev- eral officers took part in the procession at the burial of the Unknown Soldier. In the Fall of 1922, Capt. A. J. O'Keefe filled the position of Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics, vacated by Capt. Strecker. At the same time, Capt. johnson was detailed elsewhere, and Major B. O. Ken- nedy took his place. During this year and the next, selected companies participated at the Washingtoil Monument Ceremonies on Wash- ington's birthday. The two assistant professorships were again vacated in 1924, and were immediately filled by Major Maish for the lst Regiment, and Captain Judkins for the 2d Regiment. Major john G. Donovan, instructor of the 3d Regi- ment, was, in the Fall of 1925, transferred to the 1st Regiment, in place of Major Maish, resigned, while Major Raymond G. Payne was assigned to the 3d Regiment. This same year the system of Junior High School Cadet Drill was discontinued. In the Fall of 1926, Cap- tain judkins, 2d Regiment, was succeeded by Captain David Van Pelt. Now, for the fortieth time, the Competitive Drill is at hand. This drill is the largest event of the school year. All persons who are inter- ested in the Cadets have their minds centered on one cadet officer. This officer is the Bri- gade Adjutant who designates the winning company. The captain of the winning company re- ceives the Allison Nailor Medal. This medal was presented more than twenty years ago to the winning captain, and has been handed down each year since. The medal is kept by the winning captain from the time he wins it until he graduates, when he is furnished with a replica. This replica was presented iirst by Mr. Nailor and later by the Chamber of Com- nierce. As the forty-fourth year of the Wasllingtomi High School Cadet Corps draws to a close, I cannot but express the hope that the Corps will always be what the Secretary of War termed it: The model high school military unit of the United States.

As a guide and means toward developing the young men of the nation into useful, de- pendable, and prideful citizens, this course, which so many of our leading educational in- stitutions have so wisely and liberally included in their curricula, ably meets the need therefor and promotes national safety. Militarism appears to be the spectre held up by certain groups who would save the country from the rattling saber! but who in reality have as their ulterior purpose the ob- struction of citizenship and national defense training: a training now so universally ac- cepted as a national safeguard and the best kind of national life insurance. When a vast majority of our leading edu- cators include citizenship and national defense training as part of their curricula, when an- A., Professor of Military Science and Tactics nually nearly one hundred and thirty thousand 029,116 to quote official figuresj of our young men are today receiving this training in the universities, colleges, high schools, and other institutions of learning, when upwards of thirty-five thousand of our young men from every walk of life annually attend Citizens' Military Training Camps, established through- out the country, when countless large business and, manufacturing concerns grant their ein- ployees leave on full pay to attend these camps, when national patriotic bodies of our women and national patriotic bodies of our men recognize the importance and usefulness of this training and give their full support and endorsementg then, there must be a recognized fundamental principle of right teaching in- volved. A citizen is gauged by his instinctive obe- dience to and respect for constituted authority, by his conception of and regard for the duties, responsibilities, obligations, and privileges of his citizenship, and a nation's safety-its very existence, indeed-can be founded only upon the principles inculcated by education and by training in citizenship and national defense, and communistic teachings can find no foot- hold in the national life of a citizenry so trained. If war is to be outlawed, if the pesti- lence of war is to be stamped out, this training in citizenship and national defense offers the ounce of prevention which is worth more than the pound of cure! As applied to our own Cadet Corps, this training manifests itself in numerous Ways, during and after service in the Corps. I can safely predict that, should the Alumni of the Washington High School Cadet Corps be re- quested to state whether they regard their training in the Cadet Corps as a real asset, their replies would register one hundred per cent YES! The Cadet Corps may well be proud of its achievement in annually develop- ing a large group of high-principled young men eager to assume the responsibilities and duties of their citizenship, and to take their places as leaders in civic developments. Habits of discipline, self-control, obedience, tolerance, and respect for the rights of others, are in themselves an equipment of incalculable value to anyone and are, in great part, the bulwarks of character and a well-balanced citi- zenship.

Donovan, U. S. A., Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics Major John G. Donovan, U. S. A., Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics RIDAY night une 25 there was C' h Q 5 omes scattered throughout VVash 6 'gh ington as the Cadet members of the families were busy packing their old kit bags for the annual cadet camp, which was held at Camp Simms. This Gov- ernment Reservation was placed at the dis- posal of the High School Cadet Corps through the kindness and courtesy of the Commanding General of the District National Guard, Major General Anton Stephan, and the Adjutant General Lloyd M. Brett, Colonel, United States Army. Saturday noon found all the Cadets, Cadet Instructors, and the army officers, detailed for duty with the High Schools, assembled at the Camp. The Cadets were divided into two pla- toons, the lst platoon, consisting of all Central High School Cadets, and the 2d platoon, of Central, Western, McKinley, and Eastern Ca- dets The number reporting from the diiferent schools were as follows: Central 38, Western 12, McKinley 7, Eastern 2. The platoons were assigned to separate bar- racks and the assistant Cadet instructors de- tailed to immediate command of the units g Captain D. C. Crain was assigned to command of the mixed platoon with Lieutenant L. B. Voshall as assistant, whereas, Captain A. W. Van Leer, who commanded the winning com- pany for the year 1926, commanded the lst or Centralite Platoon, assisted by First Lieuten- ant C. B. Bishop. YM much hustle and bustle in many -. y, Tam, - N-x' Ltd' ' ' iij ?E-it ' .. V . The commissioned and non-commissioned personnel were assigned to duty as follows: Camp Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Wal- lace M. Craigie, U. S. A.g Camp Executive, Major john G. Donovan, U. S.

Bishop, First Lieutenant L. B. Vosh- all, and Second Lieutenant T. R. Troth. Night found the camp well policedg bed sacks well filled under the watchful eyes of Sergeant Trometre 3 every Cadet had been as- signed a bunk, and a good supper had been enjoyed by all. The dispensary was ready to handle all minor aches and painsg castor oil and the proverbial black pills were placed in a most prominent position on the shelf with other distasteful drugsg Sergeant Hess with a Well-stocked Post Exchange was behind his counter prepared for a consuming raid, and the cook shack personnel were most busily cleaning up dishes 5 however, very few required cleaning, except for sanitary reasons. Sunday the 27th, the Cadets were author- ized to attend church services in Anacostia or Washington for those having written requests of their parents. As it is the policy of the camp authorities to exercise as great and, in many cases, greater care over their charges than their parents, Cadets are not authorized to return to Vifashington over night without either verbal or written request of parents. Visitors and relatives flocked to the camp dur- ing the afternoon and were proudly shown the sights by the Cadets. Monday the 28th, the real program of train- ing was initiated, which was followed strictly, and instruction was made progressive through- out the camp. This schedule of instruction and drills was published in camp orders as follows: 6:15 A. M.-First Call for Reveille. 6:30 A. M.-Reveille and Assembly. Q10 min- utes setting-up exercises, police of barracks and camp.j 7:00 A. M.-Breakfast. 7:25 A. M.-Sick Call. 7:25 A. M.-First Call for Drill. 7:30 A., M.-Assemble for Infantry Drill. 8:30 A.

CLights out.j The swimming pool, being protected from use by unauthorized persons by a high barb wire crowned fence, and with facilities for refilling with fresh water every night, proved a source of fun and delight for the Cadets, after an arduous day of drill and camp police. Every precaution was taken to prevent acci- dents, with life guards detailed from the Ca- dets and with life buoys placed conveniently around the edge of the pool. July the 4th was declared a legal holiday, and the day was given over to inspection of the camp by relatives and friends: a special holiday dinner having been prepared by our eliicient chef, Sergeant Gibson, of which visi- tors were invited to partake for a minimum charge. In the afternoon, field, track, and swimming events were held, as well as the comical sack race, the three-legged race, and the spoon and potato race. judging from the numbers of entrants for the past two camps, these events always prove popular with the camp personnel. Small prizes were donated to winners by the Post Exchange. The late afternoon brought forth the big event of the day, the annual game between the Cadets and the instructors. As usual, age will tell, and the Cadets won. Bruises, stiff joints, etc., fol- lowed the game in regular sequence, and the writer, as umpire, lived to congratulate him- self after many narrow escapes. One dark night, a snipe-hunting party, headed by Private Herman Gelman, armed with a large sack, sallied forth from the camp to hunt the elusive snipe. As a result of this venture, Private Gelman holds the record as the best snipe hunter in four counties. During the camp, Major Burns, command- ing the Coast Artillery Battalion of the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard, was the host to about twenty of the Cadets on a week- end visit to Fort Washington. The Cadets were the guests of the National Guard, enjoyed an automobile trip to Fort Washington, lived during their visit at the Fort, and were allowed to drill with the 10-inch rifles. It was evi- denced from the broad smiles on all their faces that the trip was both appreciated and enjoyed. The last night in camp found many bunks overturned, and a playful, yet not disorderly or boisterous spirit held sway. Everyone was good-natured, yet sad, as the end of a most successful camp was nigh. After retreat, a competitive drill was held, which was won by Sergeant Norment D. Hawkins. Prizes and medals were distributed to the following: Sil- ver cup to the lst Platoon for promptness at formations, accuracy of drill, neatness of per- son, and police of barracks: Gold medal to Ser- geant Hawkins fCentralj, individual drill: ex- pert rifleman medal to Private D. S. McDou- gal QWesternjg Sharpshooter silver medals to Douglas WVilson, W'alter Mcllhenny, and Ma- son Culverwell, as well as marksman's pins to nine other Cadets. The camp closed without mishaps, except that Captain Crain tried to crank a White Re- connaissance Car backwards, resulting in a nearly broken wrist: and one of the cook's po- lice mistook his slim leg for a beef bone and stuck it in scalding water: and, but for the one dollar Post Exchange dividend received by each Cadet, walking home would have been in order, for most of them were Hat broke. v THE .

Assistant Professor, Military Science and Tactics K mdlqfj RRY frequently I hear or read some ' ,V E3 1 comment comparing unfavorably the present generation of young mf Clio men to those of previous genera- tions. I fervently wish that these thoughtful dispensers of gloom could witness at least one of the Competitive Drills of the Washington High School Cadet Corps, there would be an immediate feeling of reassurance and a renewal of faith in the modernyouth. The competitions are the culminations of the long months of steady grind necessary to train the Cadets in their various positions, and to develop the precision and splendid appearance that characterizes this organization. The team work and coordination of the boys in ranks, the calm efficiency of the young Cadet officers and non-commissioned officers, as they maneuver and direct units ranging in size from a squad to a brigade, brings a realization that the Washington High School Cadet Corps is made up of boys fully as manly, as capable, and as self-reliant, as any similar organization that existed in the so-called good old days. The spirit of good sportsmanship in the High School Cadet Corps is truly remarkable 3 there is never the slightest quibbling or con- testing of decisions in the competitions, the losers congratulate the winners in the straight- forward manner that is the measure of true manhood. Qu f..-'views J- - --xi ' ,gf gf? m?'l4l'7i , ' 'm s '-fe ' s a 'Qi 'gs cgi 22: ,. 354 Q-ya bar' Gi Last year at one of the high schools, one of the fine young Cadet officers was stricken with that terrible affliction, infantile paralysis, and was in the hospital for months fighting for his life. At the Cadet assembly, when school opened last September, the first boy to step forward was this Cadet officer, anxious to re- join and to do his bit, though sadly crippled and able to walk only by the aid of a cane. l-le was duly assigned and instructed to come to drill only when he felt like it, to leave whenever he wished, in fact, to do just as he pleased. Like a true High School Cadet his sense of duty was too high to be a Cadet in name only, regardless of the cold weather he attended all drills throughout the winter. His department functioned most efficiently and his battalion watched with great interest and pride his gradual improvement in health which is now approaching the normal. Another High School Cadet with a broken arm reported regularly for drill. When in- formed that he would be excused from all duty until completely recovered, his reply was typical of the High School Cadet Corps and one that I wish could have been heard by every critic of our young men, as well as by our enemies both foreign and domestic, Ma- jor, please let me drill, I can't carry my rifle for a few days but I can perform my duties otherwise. It wouldn't do for me to fall behind and handicap my company. These cases are but two of many such. Where is the lessening in devotion to duty in the spirit of self-sacri- fice, in team work, in the feeling of personal responsibility ? With such spirit, do you wonder that in the city of Washington with approximately one- half of one per cent of the population of the United States, this one organization of 1,645 Cadets alone, numbers among its alumni over three per cent of the total number of Cadets now at XfVest Point, and over three per cent of the total number of Midshipmen now at The United States Naval Academy, or, more than six times the number that would nor- mally represent the entire District of Columbia at the National Academies? The high standard that must be attained to be admitted to either is well known to us all. In every field of en- deavor alumni of the Washington High School Cadet Corps will be found at the topg they freely state that much of their success in life is due to the training received as High School Cadets. lldlealls and Responsibilities ol' the Cadet Corps By Captain David B. Van Pelt, U. S. A., Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics Captain David B. Van Pelt, U. S. A., Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics 1, ig ,Q HEN we begin to consider the ideals lf, of the Cadet Corps, the first thought 'Q Wil- naturall is to ask what is meant fit vw- Y . . 4,52 F123 by the word ideal and, next, with tra what particular ideal are we ex- pected to occupy ourselves. By ideal we us- ually mean the state of unattainable perfec- tion. But that perfection, if not attainable, is nevertheless approachable, and the aim of those who seek the ideal should be to do their best tpl arrive as closely as possible to it. Viewe in this manner, the pursuit of the ideal or the approach to perfection approxi- 'mates endeavoring to do all of one's duty to the best of one's ability-the development of loyalty and fidelity-the realization of the value of cooperation-the acceptance of re- sponsibility and the meeting ,of its demands. The zeal and effort spent by our Cadet Corps to reach these ideals teach invaluable lessons in preparing, not only for the Cadet Competitive Drill, but also for the sterner competition to be met at the close of our school career. And at that important cross- road the Cadet finds himself equipped with valuable qualities to help assure his advance- ment and success. The problems of life differ in principle but little from the problems of preparing our companies for the Competitive Drill-certain fundamentals must be learned, and then, determination, cooperation, and real- ization of responsibility can bring only suc- cess. Likewise, the responsibilities of the Cadet do not cease with graduationg but, on the other hand, they increase. Though soon busied with his individual problems, he must ever keep in mind his civic responsibility, his duties to his countryg and, paramount to all others, protection of his country either from devasta- tion of a foreign foe or insidious and danger- ous heresies undermining the very foundation and security of our glorious country. With the ideals which have been and are now a major part of the Washington High School Cadet Corps, we cannot help but instill into the citizens of tomorrow that sense of re- sponsibility for our country.

Q A V, an universities which have always 'ff been favorites with VVashington -ga rn: 41 high school students. At present, , there are registered in the Univeri- sity nearly fifty Washingtonians, of whom twenty-three were formerly High School Ca- dets. Six of these are from Western, two from Tech, and the others from Central. Two of them, Lieutenants C. M. Myers and G. K. Withers, U. S. A., are NVest Point grad- uates, taking special work in the College of Engineering. Each year the Army details several of its young engineer officers for ad- vanced study at the leading technical schoolsg Charlie Stewart, Central's Winning Captain in 1918, attended Cornell on such a detail last year. Service in the Reserve Oliicers' Training Corps is compulsory for the first two years, and elective thereafter. Former High School Ca- dets usually receive advanced standing, which enables them to commence the advanced elec- tive work before their junior year. Seven of the present Washington delegation either are or have been R. O. T. C. officers. While the majority of this group are still underclassmen, several have already made their mark in extra-curriculum activities. Vee Smythe, Central's 1922-23 Lieutenant Colonel, is Associate Editor of the Cornellian, Editor of the Freshman Handbook, and a Cadet Cap- tain. Bud Corbett, who was a Major at Central in 1921-22 and is now taking post- graduate work in the Law School, was Man- ager of the University Band and a Cadet Cap- tain. Charlie Schaaff is President of Wil- lard Straight Hall fthe student unionj, and Senior Editor of the Cornell Daily Sun. He was also a Cadet Captain. Henry Gichner is on the Baseball and Boxing Teams, while Bob Milans and Freddie Mack have been active in Track and Cross Country. Mant Wyvell has recently been elected Manager of Swimming. Harvey Mansfield is prominent on the Varsity Debate Team, while Larry Gould and Dana Lee are doing Well in Dra- maticsy Milt Dulin, Tech's Winning Major in 1923, is a Cadet Lieutenant, while Jack Fair is a Captain, and the writer a Major. Several of the others are now competing for honors in activities and will probably be heard from in the near future. Besides those shown in the accompanying picture, the following former Cadets are now at Cornell: L. T. Corbett, I. S. Fair, Henry Gichner, H. C. Mansfield, I. S. Mansfield, C. H. Schaaff, 2d., M. H.

Phone Main 933 The Cadet Corps From DR. FRANK W. BALLOU, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Frank W. Ballou Superintendent of Schools FTER the World War the mental outlook of youth changed in many '51 respects. From his standpoint i. many long established customs be- came obsolete. However, the tra- ditions of our Washington Cadet Corps re- mained unchanged. Half a century of honor- able service, accompanied by high ideals of honor and truth, stood as a strong defense against any possible destructive tendencies. The spirit of the Corps rests on a foundation whose worth has been demonstrated by the leadership attained by hundreds of former members. An endowment of moral courage, breadth of knowledge, love of sport, and the habit of regular exercise had produced men who were worth while, men who could lead the way toward a richer life. And what of the future? Few today can guess the needs of the next generation. VVill the Cadet of today let the old traditions fail? It must not be possible. Changing demands must be met by personal effort, by more than old-time vigor, but especially by service and sacrifice. When the spirit of team work prevails, real discipline begins. Thus character develops, as training goes on and on to higher and better stages. Our form of military training includes many factors that tend to produce useful citi- zens and capable leaders, young men of vision, who by patience and perseverance, by clarity of thought and firmness of character may lead the way to higher appreciation of the real meaning of life with its manifold activities of mind and body.

Witli- out. this Staff there would be three entirely separate regiments of Ca- fwoff dets. Of necessity, the Brigade Staff cannot officially belong to any one school g it must belong to the Corps only. The Stall' consists of the Colonel, commanding the Bri- gadeg the Brigade Adjutant QMajo1-J 3 the Bri- gade Quartermaster CMajorj 3 the Brigade Ser- geant Majorg the Brigade Quartermaster Ser- geantg and two Brigade Color Sergeants. The Colonel, whose rank is the highest be- stowed by the Corps, conducts a minute in- spection of every company in the Brigade at least once during the year. He commands the Corps in all Brigade formations and at public appearances. At other times he makes infor- mal visits to the regiments, supervising the drills. He issues general and specific orders from time to time, orders which he deems necessary and which are not under the admin- istration of the Professor of Military Science and Tactics and his assistants. The Brigade Commander's assistant is the Brigade Adju- tant, who has as his assistant the Brigade Ser- geant Major. The Brigade Quartermaster is responsible for all Cadet equipmentg his assist- ant is the Brigade Quartermaster Sergeant. The Brigade Color Sergeants carry the Na- tional and Brigade Colors at all ceremonies and reviewsg at other times they assist in the duties of the Staff. 27 Iohn M.

Captain Stiinson, of the First Regiment Band, reports excellent progress. Central is just proud of them for having Won from Mc- Kinley. Major Donovan, Assistant Professor of Mil- itary Science and Tactics, is one of the reasons for Central's scoop of last year, he will be a great contributing factor this year also. Cen- tral, having started with one more company than usual and having filled the vacancies with February men, feels that she has nine almost equal chances of getting her eagle feathers in the big event.

C. ,, f4-- 5 7 ,V.1 'gg Second Regiment of the Wash- ington High School Cadet Corps contains two battalions, one from 1' Q 'ye McKinley and one from Business 1 . - High School. The battalion from McKinley consists of four full, well-trained companies, while the Business battalion has in it two spirited companies, each of which needs only a few men to complete its roster. At the beginning of the present school year last September, a new military instructor was detailed to the Second Regiment. Captain Van Pelt jumped right into the thick of things and proved himself an excellent organizer and drillmaster, and every Cadet in the regiment knows now that he is every inch a soldier. The NVar Game Team of Company B, led by Captain Hugh H. Hussey, Jr., won the Final NVar Games Series this year. This is the first time the Series has ever been won by a Sec- ond Regiment Team, and we may attribute the victory to the patient, earnest instruction afforded the several teams by Captain Van Pelt. During past years the Second Regiment has been at a great disadvantage in not having a suitable place in which to drill. We have had to drill either in the streets adjacent to Mc- Kinley and Business or at the First Street Reservoir, which is covered with raised sewer outlets, which greatly inconvenience the com- panies at drill.

It seems evident that the friendly competition this year will be keener than ever. The Third Regiment feels confi- dent it will have the winning company. The boys have done and are doing splendid work. It is difficult to determine which is the best battalion or company. We must await with confidence the decision of the judges when we meet on the Competitive Fieldywhen We shall put forth our best efforts, such as have brought to us the coveted prizes of first place thirteen timesg second place, six timesg and third place, five times.

A 321-IE purpose of The Adjutant .is to - . , tell the story of the Cadet Brigade I?-45 from year to year. It is the channel through which the boys may make evident that work in the Cadet organization is a strong ele- ment in their own individual development, and through which they may get the point of view of their Principals and Military Instructors. On this, the Tenth Anniversary of the Cadet magazine, I want to thank the Officers of the Cadet Brigade, especially those on the Literary Staff and those on the Business Staff, for their cooperation, and the School Officials, Colonel Craigie, and the other Military Instructors for their supportg Miss Simons for her poem, To the Youth of Today, and Miss Orr for the words to The High School Cadets March. Next year I hope that The Adjutant, which began as a mere program, will develop still more successfully as a military year book, and so be both a record of good things past-work, victory, fun, friendship-and an anticipation of good things to come. R. E. S. Commissions and Warrants By Lieut. Col. Albert Small, H. S. C. March 7 meant as much to officers of the High School Cadet Corps as May 24 and 25 mean to their companies. On this date the annual presentation of commissions was held, with speeches by prominent personages, and the presenting of the desired certificates by the commander of the Third Corps Area, U. S. A., General Douglas MacArthur. These commis- sions are always terse and plain, but they berit officers and gentlemen. Non-commissioned officers, consisting of all sergeants and corporals, receive their warrants at different times throughout the various schools in chapels before the student bodies. These Warrants are also concise and unadorned, yet they are worthy stepping stones toward the dreams of Cadets' hearts-the commis- sions. Stephen E.

C. j FN years ago at the thirtieth an f-vf School Cadet Corps there appeared f 'fy a booklet bearing the title Offi -' -H'-ti cial Program, Thirtieth Annual Drill, Washington High School Cadet Corps. It consisted of but twenty pages and con- tained the photographs of the high school principals, of school officers connected with the Corps, and of Cadet officers of the rank of Captain. Besides the rosters of the companies, it had but few articles. War with Germany had been declared about a month before, and the little booklet bore these words- The su- preme test of the Nation has come. We must all speak, act, and serve together. -Woodrow Wilson. And below that- VVhat are you do- ing for your bit ? At the next Competitive Drill, in 1918, the Official Program again appeared. It was made up of twenty-eight pages of characteris- tic war-time paper. Numerous Red Cross posters appeared in it, under one of which were these words- To the junior Red Cross of the Washington Business High School, which has gladly and freely responded to the call for service, this page is dedicated by the boys of the school. In the Spring of 1919, the Program was again issued, containing more photographs and articles. Such was the humble beginning of the Washington High School Cadet Year Book. Hui - , ' ' . ' nual drill ot the Vifashington High il ' 1 ' u ',- z-'la -, ' .9 . irc.: . . . In 1920, the Ofiicial Program again ap- peared, but this time entitled The Adjutant. With the photographs of the Lieutenants, the explanation of various Cadet matters, and ar- ticles by school officials, the magazine con- sumed fifty-eight pages. In 1921, the Year Book had increased to sixty-four pages, with more pictures and more reading matter. Surely The Adjutant was keeping pace with the strides of the ever-growing Cadet Corps. In 1922, the first Cadet Staff was detailed as aids to Miss Shanley, the teacher in charge of The Adjutant and originator of the Offi- cial Programf' The method of selection of the Staff was the same as prevails today: that is, the Brigade Commander, who is the Cadet Editor-in-Chief, selects the literary and busi- ness staffs from among the Cadet officers. The cover design, appearing on this book, was adopted in 1923. It is The Brigade Flag, a clever combination of the colors of the Wash- ington High Schools. Each school has at least one of its colors represented in the designg yet the cover has the three national colors: red, white, and blue. Each year The Adjutant has steadily de- veloped, Its number of pages has reached the one hundred mark. It contains pictures, ar- ticles, rosters, drawings, and explanations of Cadet matters. It is the Cadet Year Book and History at the same time. NVe, of the Cadet Staff, have contributed our little share to the best of our abilities. Yet We know that the man behind the plow, the one responsible for the wonderful growth of The Adjutant, is Miss Shanley. ' 's f 'x K5 M Battalion First Regiment First Lieutenant Robert C.

They are an important part in the school activities, not only taking part in them but also helping as out- siders. In all presentations of the Dramatic Association, Cadets are ushers. In the choice of a student for any purpose, the Cadet has the advantage. He has proved trustworthy, and has always won the confidence of his teachers. Whether he win or lose, in the Cadet can be found something, not always tangible, which adds to Central's glory and in- spires that song that every true Centralite knows so dwell: Central will shine tonight, Central will shine.

C., Contributing Editor E331 'i6'f,Qf SQ always, the Cadets who were for- tunate-and wise-enough to spend three weeks at the Annual Cadet Encampment at Camp Simms last 'I i wiim X' summer had a countless number of pleasant experiences, but there were several which stand out in the minds of all of us as particularly unforgetable. The Fourth of July was the same big cele- bration as usual, the qualification shooting the same big thrill, andthe last night of camp the same big brawl. However, no story of Cadet Camp would be complete without tell- ing something of them. On the glorious Fourth fwhich was, incidentally, the Fifthj, there was a noble display of fireworks in ad- dition to the regular track meet, swimming meet, and baseball game. That morning most of the camp journeyed up the road in a body, carrying death and destruction before them, and returned with a seemingly limitless supply of fireworks. By taps that night, however, every bit of it had been consumed. There were so many who Mr. Crockett con- sidered had good chances to qualify for the Army rifle medals that the firing had to be conducted in three separate reliefs, the pro- cedure taking almost all day. Private David McDougal, of Western, emerged from the or- deal with the highest medal awarded, that of Expert Riiieman. Three other Cadets got Sharpshooter's Medals, and nine Marksman's Bars were awarded. The principal diversion of the last night of camp were: rolling the water-Wagon up and down the company street, throwing each other in the swimming pool, and arousing the inhabi- tants of Congress Heights. Much else was done besides, but no particular damage caused. The big event of camp was the week-end trip taken by about twenty of us to the Na- tional Guard Camp at Fort Washington, Md. Some made the journey in an Army truck, and the rest in a big war-time camouilaged car, but we all got there in spite of the roads and other difficulties. We spent most of the time until supper around the barracks and the Post Ex- change. After supper, we marched over with the guardsmen' to the 12 -inch battery. Fort E 7 J Wfasliington is a Coast Guard Camp, and we had the experience of watching, for the first time, a Coast Artillery Night Drill. It was too dark to see much, but what we could see was most interesting. The next morning we had the opportunity of seeing the whole works in the daylight, and studying how the business was done, from the ground up. All of us were as- signed to various places on the gun crews, where we learned all the many things that had to be done in the firing of a big gun. It takes twenty men and two officers, at least, to load and fire the huge piece, about ten more to haul up the powder and shells from the arsenal below, even with the elevator which is used for that purpose, and a staff of weather experts and mathematicians in the sighting room. After the target has been sighted and the range and elevation noted on the sighting in- struments, computations must be added to take care of the elfect of the wind, the barometric pressure, the height of the tide, the sunlight, if any, the temperature, and any other condi- tions which would effect the veracity of the sights or the path of the projectile. There are special instruments for these calculations, but the work must be done quickly and expertly, in time to telephone the corrected range to the commander of the gun crew in time for the next shot. Even then, if the target is mov-- ing, allowances must be made for the elapsed time between the sighting and the firing of the shot, and a special chart by the gun is used to calculate this. When it is considered that one shot is to be hred every minute, one can see how fast and accurate the work must be. VVe visited several other batteries, some larger and some smaller, but none of them were in action. It was interesting, neverthe- less, to climb about on the pieces and examine them. Guns were not the only things which held our interest at Fort Washington. The food was beyond comparison, and those K. P.'s really piled it on when we came back for more. VVe talked about their proficiency and gener- osity all the way back to Camp Simms, Sun- day afternoon. The Annual Cadet Camp will be held again this year at the same place, and the same time, except that provisions are being made to hold the camp for four weeks instead of three weeks as it was last year. So, the number of enjoy- able and edifying experiences, which take place at this year's camp, should be greater than those of last year, in proportion to the in- crease in the length of the camp's duration. Even if it were not, I do not think that any Cadet would be losing anything by attending camp this year. Many who have been there once and twice before are planning to go again, and though there are accommodations for one hundred, applications should be made as soon as possible. Any of the Military Instructors or any Cadet who has been to Camp Simms, would be glad to give any information desired about the camp. Come to Cadet Camp this summer and enjoy the biggest time we've ever had! Famous for Food HOTEL OCCIDENTAL Gus.

Schmidtman, H. S. C. f my ,G H12 unifoim is always an important T95 591' l'he umtorm which the Washington I A NIV, High School Cadets wear has been I developing for forty-three years. The uniform in which the first body of Cadets appeared consisted of a blue coat with brass buttons and white duck trousers. In 1901, the Cadet uniform consisted of a cap of the type worn by the Army during the period of the Civil W'ar fwith a gold braid chin strap for offieersj, and a blue coat on which were strips of black braid running en- tirely across the front from collar to skirt. This coat had a high military collar and two insignias of rank Qfor oflicersj, shoulder straps such as were worn by the U. S. Army during the Civil VVar period, and braid on the sleeve such as is worn today by the officers of the Army on overcoats. The trousers accompany- ing this coat were of a little lighter blue than the coat. In this one respect the uniform has remained the same to the present day. Desig- nation of company, together with I-l. S. C., were worn surrounded by a gold wreath on the front of the cap. This uniform was in vogue until 1906, when the cap was changed to one greatly resembling the cap now worn by privates and non-coms today. The officers' caps had a gold chin xv-eq mfr 4 i ' I O X2 1 . at ,- . . . . part of any military organization. X f , .. . . ,, - in I ,'-,-1 .. s - 1' strap. The coat also was changed at this time. The black braid extending in rows across the front was abandoned, and the Ca- det shield insignia was worn on the collar. The officers, as well as the men wore white gloves at this time. The uniform, just described, was worn with- out change until l914. Sometime between 1914 and 1920 the cap was changed to its present form. In 1913, a gold underlay was added to the shoulder strap, and a few years later, the present shoulder strap was brought into use. In that same period, between 19141 and 1920, the present method of denoting service by braid on the sleeves was instituted. In 1922, the Sam Brown belt and cross-guns insignia on the collar was brought into use. In 1926, the collar' of the coat was changed from the high, stiff, military collar to the lapel collar now worn by the men in the Corpsg the collar ornaments being worn on the lapels of thecollar, and brass buttons were used. lt may be easily seen that the Cadet--Corps has kept pace with the Army in respect-Q to uniforms, and while it may seem a great 'step from a uniform of blue coat with brass but- tons ,and white duck trousers to the present one, forty-three years more there may be an even greater change.

Myron Mike F HQQX3' TJ Morgan drew up to his full sitting ,ggfgqi IS height and enunciated with the ll vigor of seventeen at its ruddiest. ff M551 'Fi For the past half hour he had played manicurist to a company-full of regula- tion Cadet clodhoppers. His shoe-black- ened handkerchief bore testimony. Now he waved the sorry square of linen with limp abandon. Hike, haltg at ease ! He mock commanded the nearest group of alert high school youths marking time in close formation with a trained precision and unity. Cadets weren't at a premium thereg they swarmed the concrete entrance to the big stadium like the bees in the over-worked simile. Though they wore different colored chevrons, and stripes down the trousers of their 1926- 1927 model uniforms, according to the school they were contesting for, they were all broth- ers under the skin in objective and spirit. Dick, Mike addressed Captain Richard Darby, suffering a few feet away with acute pride but even more goose flesh. Dick, he pronounced in a tone of authority not his by right, your men look like winners. All they have to do now to bring home the bacon in this Competitive Drill is live up to appear- ancesf' Gosh, thanks, Dick mumbled gratefully. He passed an excited hand over his headg a hand whose perspiration made his hair blacker and sleeker than ever. That was the only Latin-American thing about Dick 3 his features were devastatingly regular, and his build six feet U. S. A. We go on, company after next. Seems soonpnow-and just a little while ago it was centuries off. f'Your uniform, Captain. Mo r e p o i n ts docked if mussed in stage fright, Mike ad- monished with the gruff affection one boy can show for another. Fd better be getting back to my ringside seat where I can razz you with the least exertion. 1 He set his panama at the prevailing angle over his hair, of a blondness and waviness that made girls less fortunate cattily jealous. Up, he directed himselfg and with the aid of a few clutches at the wire fence, against which he was resting,,presently arrived at that posture. Under the test of the sun-light, Myron's ap- pearance graded A No. 1-and any impartial person will tell you what a tremendous accom- plishment it is to be fair of color-scheme, good- looking, and virile all together. He was a Lochinvar come out of the West until you noticed his eyes. They were brown, but even more thoughtful than brown eyes usually are. Their depth almost contradicted his cheerful smile and bearing. They suggested suffering. No need for two worrying, Dick, he said, a shade of tremolo threading the harshness of his voice. You keep cool. Then he started for the stadium and the stilted movements of his tweed-groomed legs explained away the why of his civil dress and the necessity for his box seat. The slow walk also suggested the origin of the philosophic eyes. Hike! Hike! Hike! Through the everlast- ing thump of the martial music emanating from the stationary band near the President's box at the fore end of the green, Myron could hear the inevitable hike, hike, hike. The mili- tant refrain which companioned the whipping into shape annually of thousands of raw rookies into stalwart little men in blue, grated on his unquiet nerves. Yes, he was tired. Toiling up the gradual incline to a higher landing for a higher seat, in order to avoid the beastly glare of the re- lentless sun and the worse conspicuousness of a box, was labor for the manipulator of arti- flcial legs. Those corkers! When he first started wearing them, after the street-car accident twelve years ago, Myron's saving sense of humor had manifested itself in inventing that nickname. It was at about that time, too, that he confessed the appellative Mike, after the newsboy- who always stopped to read the fun- nies to him. It was plagiarism with the ap- proval of the plagiarized. Now, in his mental revolt against the cause of his pain and gloom, and the humiliation of ground-floor conveniences, Myron struck the left leg inadvertently below the knee. It bounded forward with the reflex action and reminded him of its humanness, after all. Corking good corkers, he amended. The catastrophe from which he had recov- ered sooner than his parents had thought he would, brought one silver lining. Dick's father, an eye witness to the horror, had stifled his little son's cries andl had rushed the un- conscious mangled body to a nearby hospital. Ever since, Myron and Dick had been a living emulation of Damon and Pythias. Together they had played sitting or crawling games as tots. Later on Mike's invincible will to do what others did had made Dick his watchful partner in chinning on the shower curtain's pole and, later yet, in swimming at the school pool. Now deadened to the exclamations of those hypernoisy younger schoolmates engulfinghim 3 blind to the Iris of colors darting from posts and wandsg oblivious to the Adjutant auto- graphing, the hot dog and candy munching, pop sipping and ice cream eating on every side of him, Myron Morgan was yielding to captivating reminiscence. The stars and the str-ipes for-ev-er Roused from his reverie by the blatant fervor of the Sousa march, Mike shifted his position ever so slightly. Dick and Company D must be hiking it very near the gates of the arena right then. - He bent forward to tie a loosened shoe lace. Queer for his shoes to get untied! Strangers always admired his good-looking Oxfords and collegiate socks, until he began to walk in them. Then they sympathized. Darn sym- pathy, and pity! On the way up again, his eyes encountered the back of a girl sitting six rows down to the left, a girl with an attractive, well-poised back, Stella Belmont. Myron knew that from a front view she was pretty as a more expen- sive calendar picture, almost. She would draw attention in a drawing roomy but a country scene-a sea of any blue Spring flow- ers-would form the best background for her. Her heavy chestnut hair rippled back from a a side part to coil voluptuously at the nape of her neck. It was too bad a portrait couldn't transmit her fascinating Southern drawl and manners, as it could mirror her aliveness, the rare violet of her long lash-framed eyes, and the allure of her complexion and teeth. But he despised girls. He'd hated them from childhoodg it was a manly boyish trait elaborately to evade their presence. Stella had gone through grammar school with him. She had the habit of giving him Heet smiles with her eyes and lips that conveyed more frank friendliness than embarrassing pity. She still dispensed the same variety of greeting when they met in history, or when she saw him embarking in the freight elevator, his especial privilege, to scale to the higher flights of the school building. No, he still abhorred contemporary females 3 even Stella. What was the use of liking any girl, or her? A cripple made such an ineffec- tual love-, liker. The chestnut head in the sixth row down to the left turned and looked up to the sixth row right, as if it knew the route from previous excursions. Clashing for a second with unexpected brown eyes, those other brown eyes quickly retraced their journey. I hate,- Myron repeated. But the exclamation had lost some force. Hike, hike, hike. The word implied in the motion didn't rankle quite so much now. Dick and company entered the prize ring with a flourish, it seemed to Mike. They look like Dutch Cleanser dirt chasers, he thought, Dick the biggest and most determined. Carefully and appraisingly he followed their drill maneuvers and inspection by the army officer judges. Like West Pointers, he breathed. The squads received the awaited orders to charge on the enemyg in other words, they meant the War game with the bill-board as ad- versary. The men fell to, bobbed up, squat- ted, and fired in obedience to surreptitious signals. While cute little, dumb little girls bawled insistently, I don't see how they see with those caps way down on their noses. Mike prayed that those caps 'way down on their noses would stay just there. Cold sweat trickled down his anxious spine. It let up only after he ascertained there were two bare-headed soldiers in Company D at the conclusion of hostilities. He sighed relievedly. That was rather a record. During the remaining demonstrations before the judges' decision, interest palled for Myron and time lay heavy upon him. The humidity of a typical drill day in June, which Lowell overlooked in creating his gem, depressed. Rampant outbursts of racket settled down to conscientious loyal party rooting. There was time to contemplate the head so near him, yet so remote. There was time to reliect and then to retract his soaring cocksure assertions and feelings concerning Company D. His eyes had of course been too prejudiced to see aright. Any- way, Dick was a dandy nowg even if once he'd slumped to a slacker and had to be cooerced into the Cadet Corps by Myron's continued urging. Something was responsible for Dick's for- mer attitude. Five years back, in Junior High, the girls had discovered that Dick was a bru- nette edition of Wallace Reed. Old enough and vain enough to realize the advantage ac- cruing, Dick had taken it and himself seriously, posing up. It would have been Alas, poor Dick if Mike hadn't jerked him out of the clouds to just plain earth again. Now, it was a funny memory, but it escaped being sad. The trailer rasping of a throaty command, clipped and slurred to unintelligibility for mili- tary effect, Wafted through the grandstands. On and off the stage, everybody was enduring the at ease made tense by the usual excru- ciatingly long deliberations of the judges. Grumph-umph! Uh-tensh-hun! The Cadet Colonel knew the decision and was informing the Brigade Adjutant. Heart action acceler- ated from high to speeding. Myron gazed on dully and bitterly. VVhich- ever captain should win would be realizing Mike's own impossible ambition. He swam decently with his handicapg he'd have been a real athlete. Perhaps, even now, he'dt be the captain destined to glorify his school, his com- pany, and himself with first place honors, if-! If not for the biggest little word in the world! Bringing the good news from Ghent to Aix may have been more dashing to witness, but it couldn't have been more dramatic in sus- pense. From Adjutant to Adjutant-Brigade, regimental, battalion-traveled the word. A final swaying, the trick relished by that official, and the hoarse cheerleaders in Myron's section were having their moment. VVith more pan- tomine direction they were getting thunder- claps of sound out of the ecstatic crowd. All for D and Dick Darby! Along with the rest, Myron's emotions stam- peded. He found himself standing up, his body suddenly refreshed, shouting himself to a sore throat. Dick. DICK! HIS Dick! Hike! Hike! Hike! Heralded by its school band, the winning company began its trium- phal march around to the judges and the school and public dignitaries grouped straight down in front of Mike's section. Mites of red ribbon Haunted the victory on every man's chest. Proud bewildered grins, forced out of repression, spread over the faces of the little conquering privates. Unrelaxed as steel was Dick's expression as he set the pace for his retinue of faithful who had labored well and profitably under his leadership. Myron watched his pal's Mussolini aplomb and experienced a qualm. Dick was now a fatal combination for girls, fiappers or other- wise: hero, really, by virtue of this drill, and almost reely, by curse of his collar and looks. And once already Dick had succumbed to van- ity induced by the vain and flattering. Would he bow under this greater pressure and be- come a lady's man, probably for good? Dick and Company D were fast approach- ing 5 only twenty feet separated them from the judges and acclamation. Myron searched the countenance of Richard Darby, captain of the winning company of the 1927 Inter-High Com- petitive Drill of the Washington, District of Columbia, High School Cadets, and turned away disgusted and wistful. joyous pandemonium inspired his part of the audience. Dick Darby and D, D. C. The school cheerleaders appreciated the eu- phony of the phrase and the wild outcries of their schoolfellows equalled their enthusiasm. Hike, halt ! Dick's curt, distinct Stento- rian cut a gash in the heart of his friend. It would be all off between them. He couldn't bear to see him present arms and accept hon- ors With that same condescending hauteur, that despicable egoism. Laden with disillu- sionment, he glanced upon Stella's vivacious head. That was a worthy goal to be reached by some one, never by him. 'He clenched his fists disconsolately. The disappointment and forlornness he felt were unbearable. The atmosphere ridden with hur- rahs for Dick Darby was too much. In that two-by-four chair, there was no way he could vent his feelings. Still, he was certain he'd roar if he would stay in it much longer. Slowly, although it was his fastest, he lifted himself out of the green seat and manipulated one foot into the adjacent aisle. Suddenly he felt himself glared at, the cynosure of all eyes. Fumbling with his hat, he stood embarrassed, and the directions being rehearsed from the baby elaphantine megaphone floated into his consciousness. Mike Morgan, now-a loco- motive. Into it, everybody! Let's go: one- two-three- During the ensuing applause sensibility re- turned. He tapped the arm of the glory-filled freshman girl beside him. How come? he managed to ask her 5 and for once was grateful for the concise volubility of slang. Oh, she replied with adoring naivette, Dick asked for that cheer when he was get- ting the cup and the handshake and the camera, and Colonel Craig said 'yes.' Couldn't you tell ?'f As Myron looked ati Dick, beaming up at him in a bursting show of brotherly love which was reflected in lesser degree by the ranks of synthetic Darby juniors standing erectly strained behind him, he couldn't imag- ine how he ever could have doubted him. Now he divined that Dick's aloofness of five minutes ago was merely the mask of a soldier acting his role in the face of achievement. Both of them exchanged prideful glances mutually full of the recognition of friendship repaid and justified. j Since he understood, Myron was proud of the fibre in Dick that enabled him to reassume that same expression and conduct his men off the field as strictly military as he had mar- shalled them on. He listened eagerly for the undertone of the regular hike, hike, hike, click- ing the beat for the tramping feet. I Pardon me, please. A drawling Southern voice sent Myron's nervous system back on duty more that the stumble over his protrud- ing foot. Excuse me, he corrected autornatically'as he drew in the limb he had completely forgot. He knew that it had tripped Stella on her way out. Then it dawned on him that she had hes- itated by him for a second, smiling discon- certingly. And then he realized that he didn't want her to go out of his sight immediately. He was a little bit dazed as he grasped her cool hand. Stella, he said dreamily, urging her back the few steps' difference between them, I wonder if you'd mind sitting out some of the Cadet Dance with me tonight. Because he didn't understand the catch in her breath or the light that came to her eyes, he hastened on. I'd see that Dick 'hiked' to any number of jazz pieces with you, he as- sured her with a valiant attempt at humor. He wondered desperately how he would carry off her certain tactful negative. All his present fears and some of his abiding complex paled into the past when she R. S. V. P.'d his invitation. I'd love to, Myron, she drawled in her inimitable way, even just to sit out. , L.A'Wf1x.J lFreckles A ONE-ACT PLAY IN TWO SCENES By Dorothea J.

Kramer, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. Stephen E. Kramer Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Cadets years ago there appeared a pub- lication .unique among the school ,f publications. It originated to ans- wer a felt need and to render a real if YMYW- and valuable service in the develop- ing of a corporate consciousness in the annual military competition of the Washington High Schools. General information in regard to the order of the appearance of the companies, the rules of the contest, and the program of military movements in the competition was given upon a single printed sheet privately printed and containing more advertisements than news. A need was felt for a publication largely stu- dent managed and carrying the sort of infor- mation which not only the public but the stu- dents desired. Such was the origin of The Adjutant. It began in 1917 with 20 pages chiefly devoted to company rosters and photo-' graphs. Each year has seen an increase in the number of pages and an extension of the m ate rijal presented. The publication has throughout its e X i s t e n c e maintained high standards in regard to mechanical make-up, good taste and excellent judgment in selec- tion of contents, and a high order of literary merit in the presentation of subject matter. Eminent personages have been willing to permit their portraits to be used in the illus- trated section of The Adjutant, and the interest of distinguished officials of the United States Government has been evidenced by their con- tributions of articles dealing with the work of the Washington High Schools in Military Training. It seems proper that there should be recorded here the development of The Adjutant through its history of success and ine service: Program 1917: 20 Pages. Roster of 20 Companies. Photographs of Cadet Captains and Officials. Cover: white, letters of blue and of red Cadet In- signia or Shield. Program 1918 and 1919: 30 Pages. Illustrations, Red Cross colored Pictures. A Verse.

The work of Miss Rebecca E. Shanley and those who have labored with her to achieve so great a success deserves the highest com- mendation. The Adjutant has rendered a val- uable service for it has afforded a vehicle for presenting matters of great interest, it has served to preserve our Cadet History, and, best of all, it has been a splendid voicing of the spirit of a wonderful organization. We are proud of The Adjutant and grateful to those whose unseliish devotion and untiring energy have made it possible. nf: U 4 A A 4 3 A an z o A o U r-1 z 4 z LII H :J Er! D-I A Q.

C'Mark Leigh J SECOND PRIZE STORY, 1927 CONTEST Long before he entered Lincoln High, when he was only a grammar school boy in knick- ers, David Kingsley liked to watch the squads of Cadets drilling before the big building. The rhythm of the marching feet, the straightness and precision of each separate unit fascinated him. And it all looked so easy! David al- ready saw himself one of them, as straight and as neat as a tin soldier, as unerring as a ma- chine, swinging his long legs in time with the steady, Left-right-1eft-right-left-rightl At last the day came when he was actually marching in one of those squads before Lincoln High. Then the process of disillusionment be- gan. David, who had dreamed of himself as the perfect Cadet, found himself the dub of Company T. He discovered that he had every fault a Cadet could have, a fact which his ser- geant did not allow him to forget. On every drill day, David's clumsy hands would fumble his gun, and his awkward feet would fall out of step. A big fellow like you oughtta do better than these little guys, the sergeant would rave, exasperated, whereupon, David, instinc- tively, would try to contract, twisting his long body into knots in the attempt. But again the sergeant would be upon him. Straighten up there ! These reproofs were always painful, but the most humiliating came one day when David was drilling with his company near the school, feeling rather proud of himself in his new uni- form. Hearing a familiar laugh, he turned his head and saw Evelyn Carey walking up the sidewalk abreast of him. Evelyn Carey! His heart began to beat more quickly, and he for- got everything in gazing at her. Kingsley ! came the sergeant's voice, vi- brating with anger. David started, and real- ized that he was out of step again, and falling behind. He hastily corrected himself, but the sergeant moved up beside him, his jaw omi- nous, his mouth sarcastic. You seem to think you're taking a stroll- stop when you please, and start when you please. If you want to flirt with the girls, why do it, but not here. We don't want any sheiks-straighten up there ! He forcibly pulled David's shoulders back, kicked his legs into step, and turned his head about. A laugh sounded again from the side- walk from the same voice which had turned David from the path of duty before-but, this time pointed, and too evidently caused by his predicament. He turned crimson and choked with chagrin. Why did he always have to seem such a dumb-bell before Evelyn Carey? XfVhenever he met her and talked to her, which happened infrequently because of his shyness and her indifference to him, he stammered over his words and stumbled over his feet, and in every way appeared ridiculous. David swung away with his company, feel- ing wretched, and during the remainder of the drill concentrated on the sergeant's orders. But, when he went home that day, he drowned his troubles, momentarily, in a delicious day- dream in which he was Captain of Company T, and Evelyn Carey was his humble admirer. He pictured himself in a glory of shoulder straps and medals and gleaming sword, strut- ting down the hall of Lincoln High, while she looked adoringly up at him. Oh, what a gorgeous medal you got for winning the Competitive Drill ! Yes, that was the proudest day of my life .... With a sigh David woke up, for the dream was too improbable to comfort him long. He remembered that his start as a Cadet was de- cidedly unpromising. Yet, three years from that day, half of his seemingly unlikely dream had come true. David was captain of Company T, having risen to that dizzy eminence from the dubbery of his rookie days by a long and strenuous process of drilling and training. The other half of the dream remained unfulfilled. Evelyn Carey still lacked the expected reverence to- wards him, and did not notice that he was no longer awkward and lanky and tongue-tied. David was obliged to look for adoration to the Cadets of his company, or to Ruth Darrell, who had been his confidante since grammar school days. Ruth was always ready to sym- pathize with his troubles, to praise him for his EIIICCCSSCS, and to laugh at his jokes, but not at im. Company T's gonna win the Competitive Drill ! David would exclaim to his company, and all the Cadets would chorus, Certainly ! Company T's gonna win the Competitive Drill ! David would exclaim to Ruth, and she would answer, Certainly ! VVith such confidence placed in him, David threw out his chest, and defied sceptics. He trained his company enthusiastically and pa- tiently for many weary months until the long- awaited day of the drill arrived. At two o'clock on that great day, Company T of Lincoln High marched on the drill field. From a corner of the grandstand, weary, but undaunted cries of Tl T! T! sounded in obe-- dience to the gyrations of two sweating cheer leaders, and the band struck up stirringly Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here ! Just as if it had not already played the same tune a dozen times that morning. The Cadets kicked out their legs in even rhythm to the music, and swung across the field in perfect formation. For the briefest second, as he marched on, a memory came to David of the little school boy standing on the street corner, watching the Cadets parade about Lincoln High, and he felt proud and happy to think that the same boy was now leading a whole company of the once-envied Cadets to victory or defeat in this big contest. The faces of his Cadets were red and drip- ping with the heat, and their stiff collars showed signs of wilting. Little rivers of per- spiration oozed between David's neck and col- lar and ran down his back, and the handle of his sword was hot, as if it had been heated over a forge. The sun, like a round, burnished shield, seemed suspended a few feet above his head. The white gloves of the Cadets formed a succession of rapidly changing patterns against the dark blue uniforms as they moved sharply about the butts of the guns in quick response to his orders. David did not see any one fumble, but he felt nervously that the keen eyes of the judges must be discovering any number of mistakes. If only this were over! The gay murmur of talk and laughter which fioated continuously from the grandstand filled his heart with envy. As he gave the commands, he had the feeling that his voice was issuing from some one else, and that he could not regulate itg it was as if a phonograph record were giving off the orders. Squads right ! Squads right! Squads right! the lieuten- ants echoed. While the Cadets obeyed, David stood still, as if being wound up for the next order. Squads left ! Squads left ! Squads left ! Worriedly, he watched the Cadets run and fall in extended orderg rise, run, and fall again. As they lay with their legs spread out, they looked like blue Y's drawn upon the field. The sun poured down upon the heads of the unfor- tunate ones who had lost their caps, and little wisps of dust, as irritating as pepper, rose from the dry grass. These discomforts made the Cadets seem rather heroic to David, as if they were soldiers on a real battlefield, and he felt a sort of fatherly affection for them, as he watched them creep up on the imaginary enemy. They were good kids, he told himself. They had worked hard and they deserved to win. Suddenly, with a brave shout, the Cadets charged. The band struck up again, encour- aginglyg, a trickle of applause sounded from the grandstand, and the cheer leaders prepared to do business for the next company. Unbe- lievably, the ordeal was over. Twenty-five minutes had decided the fate of Company T. Mopping his forehead, David made his way off the field. The long, hot afternoon went by like a dream, a constant repetition of maneuv- ering companies. The sun was growing less torrid, and the shadow of the grandstand was beginning to project out into the field, when the time came for the announcement of the winning company. The great open space turned blue like the sea with the massed Ca- dets, and against the variegated background of the spectators stood the figures of the judges and brigade officers. David, waiting in agonized tenseness before Company T, wondered how the officers could walk so un- concernedly at this critical moment. He felt that he had been standing forever in this same place, seeing the same scene-the stands full of people, the bleachers dotted with a few curious little boys, the group of officers with their gleaming swords. His eyes, which had been roaming, came sharply to rest on the 'bright flag of the Adjutant moving across the field. At last . . . . The Adjutant paused, turned, and came closer and closer. He's stopping now-he's stopping -David thought as the Adjutant passed each company. Company Q is the one-no-S-no-. Abruptly, he found himself looking full into the face of the Adjutant. He stood dazed, while a great, quivering roar, at first inarticu- late, then definite, swept over the field. Tl T! T! Yes, it was the proudest day of my life, David had once imagined himself saying to Evelyn Carey, and the memory of that day- dream crossed his mind, when, after the drill, he saw her rushing up to him. The crowd of enthusiasts, who were shaking his hand, and slapping his back, and displaying adoration in various ways, parted for an instant as she ap- proached. Oh, David, you're wonderful! I was never so thrilled in my life, and to think it was one of my friends-. Ch-uh-thank you- David gasped, look- ing at her thoughtfully. Why wasn't he elated by this realization of his longings? Uncon- sciously his glance traveled to Ruth Darrell, who was beaming at him from the outskirts of the crowd, which she had not been able to penetrate. .She was so happy in his victory that a glow radiated from her, and David suddenly perceived that she was charming. He looked again at Evelyn. Whatfwas there in her that had formerly fascinated him? ' Excuse me, he murmured, and forced his way through the crowd to Ruth. - T 1 l l...J Company B Central High School First Regiment First Battalion First Lieutenant Captain Second Lieutenant Frederick J.

C., Contributing Editor ,VIATION, in recent years, has so , 5 progressed and developed that we up regard it as little more .than com- Q IL: monplace, unless some pilot breaks 1' K all precedent for non-stop ilights or establishes a new speed record. Flying has reached its present high status largely through the developments brought out in the Wforld VVar, from which the value of the airplane for commercial use was foreseen. Since then, all nations have been constantly improving, de- signing and vying with each other in making new inroads into the realms of the upper air. Of these none has outstripped the United States. Our 'round-the-world flyers, the trip overthe North Pole by Byrd, the recent world record for endurance of fifty-one hours in the air, made by Acosta and Chamberlin, and the present tour of South America, being made by the American good-will flyers, all propheti- eally point to America's continued supremacy in aviation. Nevertheless, most of us much prefer read- ing newspaper accounts and seeing Pathe pic- torials of these events to actually engaging in them. Few people, comparatively speaking, have been up in airplanes. Ever since the first time I saw an airplane- before America entered the Wo1'ld War and mail planes were not running daily schedules, and skywriters had not heard of Camels and Rodney Hatcher and Donald Lane Rodney in the plane Bond Bread -I have had a keen desire to see what it's like to be up, looking down. At last I've succeeded and it's great. It was far from easy to get permission from Air Corps Headquarters, and only after re- peated assurance that the rest of the Cadet Corps was not waiting in line to go up also, Don Lane and I were granted the opportunity of making one local airdome flight in a gov- ernment plane at Bolling Field. Moreover, our parents had to sign statements absolving the government from any liability to suit or damages in case of accident resulting in injury or death. It took all of one day to get the permits and the next morning we presented our credentials at the Operator's Office at Bol- ling Field, Where we signed up for a flying suit, helmet and goggles, and parachute. The officer in charge told an orderly to go out and get one of those flying cadets who needs credit for flying time and landings. This was not overly encouraging as we did not know whether this cadet-bird was a safe bet or not. Ile was splendid. lVe walked out on the ily- ing field, carrying our gear. Lane and I both arguing as to who was to have the honor of the hrst trip, and neither one breaking a leg to get there lirst. Vile Ilippedg I lost, that is to say, I went Hrst. VVhile the pilot and mechanics were warm- ing up the motor I struggled into the heavy fur-lined ilying suit, put on the helmet and goggles, and hooked up the parachute. The mechanic explained how the 'Chute worked. In case of trouble I was to wait until the pilot told me to jump, then leap over, as though diving into the water, and when clear of the plane pull the ring that released the folded silk. I climbed in the rear cockpit, fastened the safety belt and sat tight, very tight. The plane was a two-seated De Havi- land, equipped with a double set of controls. There on the dash before me were the gas and oil gauges, altimeter, and air speed indi- cator. Rodney up in the air The plane swung around and we bounced down the field, heading into the wind and gaining speed with every whirl of the propel- lor. First the tail lifted, then the wheels and looking over the side I watched the hangars fall away beneath us. We straightened out for a long lap down the field, still rising, until at twenty-iive hundred feet the red roofs of houses looked like postage stamps and tug boats on the river like canoes. VVe roared along at ninety and one hundred miles per hour as smoothly and as lightly as a feather. No sense of ePfort, not the slightest feeling of discomfort. The noise of the motor was not at all unpleasant. The plane made dives, banks, turns, and climbed, and the pilot made Donald Lane and 'Rodney Hatcher several landings. After about half an hour we made a iinal landing, taxied across the field, and I transferred the equipment to Don. l was very pleasantly surprised, inasmuch as I had heard that the height made one dizzy, that motion of the plane caused sick stomach, and that the noise of the motor was a con- stant source of annoyance. On the other hand I can imagine no more pleasant mode of travel. It was thoroughly enjoyable. The Pilot and Donald Lane Don's turn in the air was about the same as mine, except that after he landed and was idl- ing across the lield toward the hangars, the wheels struck a large mud puddle, which, splashing up, was caught in the air stream of the propellor and flungall over the plane. W'hen it came up there was water, mud and grass all over it. The mechanics were not pleased. They had to clean-it up. VVe turned in our equipment and departed in Lane's Chevrolet, which has nothing on an airplane. It never misses a mud hole either. lle wanted to have a picture of it towing an airplane, but they were afraid that some one might think that it belonged to the govern- ment. Congratulations to Captain Hatcher, Company F First Regiment, Central The Brigade congratulates Captain Rodney llatcher on being selected by the Wlashington, Yale Club to receive its scholarship. This means four years at Yale for Rodney, and the advantage of entering college with distinction. Captain Hatcher has many talents, which have not been unappreciated, as he is the president of his class at Central, a member of the Senior Council, and of The Review Staff, the Com- mander of the Guard of Honor Company of the First Regiment, and Contributing Editor to The Adjutant. , Winners in War FIRST PLACE.-Second Regiment, McKinley: fSilver Cup to team and schoolj Captain Hugh H.

C. wi- ELIEVING that War Games is a term which is practically meaning- less to those not connected directly with the subject, I shall herein at- ' tempt to explain it in as much de- tail as a limited space permits. War Games are played on large topograph- ical maps on which vari-colored pins are placed to represent units of armies in the action. A situation requiring solution is given and having been primarily solved is supplemented with special situations. The solution is given by a team composed of six men. The captain of the team, having analyzed the problem presented in what is called an estimate of the situation gives orders to his subordinates just as though he were actually under the conditions of the problem. The subordinates, in turn, give their orders and actions and the problem is under way. The judge is the commander of all enemy forces and his object is to check the actions of the team. The judge must finally render a decision awarding the game to the team pre- senting the best solutions. This award is made on a basis of clarity and directness of all orders and estimates, delivery of orders and actions. War Games, like chess, are dry and of little interest to the onlookers, but afford thrills and pleasures in the extreme to the participants. The Games are played to promote confidence in ability to lead, to give an idea of War con- ditions and how they are surmounted, and to train to think clearly. 'L Members of the Brigade Champion WVar Game Team, 1927-Company B, First Battalion, Second Regiment, McKinley. iii The 1199.7 Short Story Contest lf I Rosemary McKinley, bwciy fy: i I-ggi, ,egg 1 Y O HONOR its Tenth Anniversary, The Adjutant this year offered for the best short stories two prizes to be given in books, selected by the winners. The judges-Miss Arnold of Eastern, Miss Selah of and Miss Denham of Central- were unanimous in choosing Hike and Mike, by Ruth Markwood f Steve Brody, Inj, of Central, as the best. The Dub of Company T, by Katharine Scott f Mark Leighuj, also of Central, was given two votes for second place and one vote for third. Both these stories are printed in The Adjutant. Hon- orable mention is made of The Fighting Spirit, by Harry Vignan C'Douglas Fair- banksnj, of Business, which received one vote for second place, and two votes for third. With their decision the Judges wrote a short criticism: A Just Reward and The Fight- ing Spirit, though well-written, had improb- able plots. M 0 t h e r was sympathetically told but weak in climax. The Glory of the Cadets was a bright, happy sketch but too commonplace in plot. The Dub of Company T showed vivid and accurate descriptive ' si power and had a well-worked-out, logical plot. Hike and Mike was written in a bright, original style. Besides plot interest, in which it was good, it exhibited a discriminating talent for character portrayal. It is hoped that the 1928 Contest will have more and even better stories, and that some of the writers of 1927 will again enter the lists-to win! A Cup for the War Games Major General Anton Stephan, commanding the Twenty-Ninth Division, who inspected and reviewed the Brigade at the Annual Inspection, was so pleased with the spirit and bearing of the Cadets that he has donated a silver cup, to be given annually to the War Game Team winning lirst place. The cup is named for him. This is a line compliment to the Corps, which appreciates to the full not only the generosity of General Stephan, but also his interest in the Brigade-his fine comments on the mili- tary snap and precision of its drill. 1'- PRIZE SQUAD OF THE FIRST REGIMENT, CENTRAL CENTRAL'S PRIZE WAR GAME TEAM, THIRD PLACE IN BRIGADE COMPETITION 70 A , A N 41 U 1.

Bradshaw, Assistant Principal w i , l Mr. Allan Davis Principal of Business High School '- k. Y pride in the High School Cadet 4 I Organization dates back to my first fgsg, 5 year in the Eastern High School, 'ge ii AH, 1 when one of our companies carried the coveted banner from the drill field. From that time to the present, when each year I watch the Business companies with hope springing eternal in my heart, I have been an ardent promoter of the Cadet Corps because I believe there is no finer organization in this great country. That the Cadet train- ing develops the boys of our high schools physically, that it teaches self-control and co- operation, helps them to acquire habits of dis- cipline and leadership, are reasons enough for the interest which the citizens of the District of Columbia feel in the Cadet Brigade. To be a good Cadet, the kind who develops into a successful officer, a boy must be hard working, persevering, alert, and intelligent in executing orders, have real respect for author- ity and a sense of loyalty to his company which makes for cooperation. His respect for his uniform and his organization carries with it the duty of maintaining at all times the high standard of character and conduct which is the ideal of the Cadet Corps. When every boy who receives this training realizes that with the beneiits come responsibilities, that the wearing of a High School Cadet uniform is a pledge to his city, to his school, to his com- pany, that he will maintain these high ideals of character and conduct, then, indeed, will the High Schools send out into the life of this great Capital good citizens.

Daniels Principal of Technical High School Company C By Captain W. O. Blandford, H. S. C. Talking about one's company before the Competitive Drill is a remarkably delicate subject. As captain of the company, I have a chance to see the men from a different angle from anyone else. In the beginning, we had very poor spirit, but as time Went on the morale and spirit grew, until, at the present date, it is as good, if not better, than I could ever have hoped to obtain in the short space of time allowed in the school year. We are going on the field with the hope of coming off with the Flag. There are twenty-odd com- panies, cherishing the same hope. May the best man win. Company A By Captain Alvin G. Wassman, H. S. C. From the very beginning, although handi- capped at first by blank files, Company A has shown the grit and determination which makes Tech Spirit famous. Every man has worked earnestly, from the two lieutenants down to the lowest private, and Tech may rest assured that the members of Company A when they march on the field May 24th, are doing their utmost to bring the flag back to the school where it was made. Company B By Captain Hugh Hussey, H. S. C. Since all captains are, at midyear and after, extremely hopeful, it is better to write of the deeds and not the hopes of Company B. First, Company B, of '27, for the Hrst time presented Tech with a first place war game team. Second, this company was unofficially announced as best in the annual R. O. T. C. inspection. Third, it was the third place com- pany in the Honor Guard Competition. As for the hopes, suffice it to say that B, like every company at this time, expects to be the winner of the Competitive Drill. Company H By Captain Robert C. Horne, H. S. C. Company H, the smallest at Tech, generally known as the war babies, is rapidly advanc- ing to a point where wel can put before the judges a well-finished company. Although we are small, we have the spirit which will put us over the top. We know that as we go on the field as exhibition company, our schoolmates will be with us. Our goal is the same at that of every other company. If we win, we have reached the topg if we don't, we know we have done our best for Company H and for Tech.

W. W' v f-Cs OFFICERS' CLUB AT MCKINLEY 1 4' Teclifi' Oiflicersl Club By Captain Hugh H. Hussey, H. S. C. Qfasx HAS been true in the past and Qu' HMS 571 will always be true in the future contact with the personnel of the High School Cadets of Washington ibm? gi: . . . . . f jfgu Lifes' that there is no one coming into HART' wfxv-c n . who does not notice its spirit and force. No- where is there greater evidence of spirit and personality than among the officers. The Tech Officers' Club is, each year, prac- tically reinitiated. By this it is meant that noii only do the names on the Club's roster change, but with each succeeding change there comes new spirit and force. The names of the Club of '27 are of little importance, but rather 'the deeds and acts that those names stand for. For the first time in several years a success- ful dance was giveng for the first time a new force was applied in order to secure uniforms for financially-embarrassed Cadetsy for the first time a hand was taken in the actual execution of Cadet affairs. All this presents an accurate view of the spirit in a material Way but it is necessary to associate with, to listen to the ofbcers to realize their real spirit, their ex- treme boyish ability to laugh off troubles, their ability as men to shoulder responsibilities. CUPID'S FI RST CASUALTY 79 Dir., Elmer S. Newton By Captain Samuel Dr. Elmer S. Newton Principal of Western High School fre express its appreciation for the yi, ' services rendered to the welfare of ii'-My this Battalion by Dr. Newton. In the early part of October, 1926, the VV'estern VVestern High School Battalion wishes to take this 'opportunity to ,kgs if Q. 1,2 t as Sugar, H. S. C. companies were formed, under the guidance of Dr. Newton and Major Payne, the military instructor at lfVestern. They made it easy for the Cadet ofhcers to take up their new po- sitions. Whenever there was any trouble of any sort, if it was brought to Dr. Newton, it was ironed out immediately. Dr. Newton takes an active interest in the Battalion. He keeps in touch with each Captain and learns how the companies are progressing. If any difficulties arise, he immediately confers with Major Payne to see if they cannot be settled. The entire faculty has also taken an active interest in the Western Cadet Corps, and in every possible way has helped the Battalion along. Although disappointed in the outcome of the Battalion and Regimental Competitives, the student body is still heartily supporting the Cadet activities and a great majority of them will be supporting the companies on May 2-1 and 25. This year the various activities have not con- flicted as they did in former years. The Ca- det Corps has supported the athletes and the separate companies have been working to- gether in order that VVestern might derive the most from the various competitives. At the time that this magazine goes to press, the results of the Company Competitive will not be known. However, win or lose, Western will have the satisfaction of knowing that every one in the Cadet Corps did his best.

Engineer Commissioner, D. C. Mr. Alvin Miller Principal of Central High School , v--. ig High School Cadet Corps has changed considerably in the twenty years which have elapsed since Sep- tember, 1906, when first I reported EQM- as a very raw and awkward rookie. There was but one regiment in those days, with three battalions and eleven companies. Eastern had F and Western Hg Business E and G5 Central A, B, and I3 while Tech had the greatest number with C, D, K, and L. We had no regular Army officer or non-commis- sioned officer to help us. Our only guide and tutor was the well-known Cocky Ross, oth- erwise known as Lt. Col. Burton Ross who, I believe, had been a non-commissioned officer in the regular Army and later a Lieutenant- Colonel in the National Guard. All Cadet non- commissioned officers were third year men, and all Cadet commissioned officers were seniors. The February classes had just started, so that the first recruits from them merely went to fill out existing companies. There were no war games, no bands, no battalion or regi- mental competitive drills. Once a year we had a review on the W'hite Lot, and occasionally we participated in a parade. Many things of two decades ago, however, were similar to those of today. The rookies were just as raw, just as awkward, just as young, and just as small. The Cadet suits were, for many, the first suit of long trousers. The com- petitive drill was, as it is today, the high point of the scholastic year. It was field in the American League Park as it still is, but the old park can be identihed with the new Griffith Stadium only in its location. The old one- deck wooden stands were always crowded both afternoons, and tickets, even with only eleven companies, were at a premium. The drill was plain closed order, with two or three firings. There was no extended order at all. The judges were invariably young engineer officers stationed at Washington Barracks and re- cently graduated from VVest Point. At the close of the drill the Regimental Adjutant, as he has been doing for decades, would march to the center of the Regiment, hesitate for hours as it seemed, and finally turn towards the winning company. In my last year as Captain of Company A of Central High School, I was particularly anxious to see which way he would face. I still remember distinctly the indeterminable time that he took and, finally, how he turned to the left. Slowly he passed the Second Bat- talion, while Central stands yelled in frenzy. Company I was passed, leaving only Com- pany B and my own. My heart almost stopped beating for he did not even hesitate in front of Company B, The next thing I heard him say was: Captain, report with your company to the judges. It was then that I experienced the thrill that comes but once in a lifetime-a thrill that is today the same as it was then-and which on May 25th, at the same old location, some Captain of the Washington High School Cadets will again experience this year.

Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics The Brigade is delighted at the return of Major A. W. Maish as Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics. The Major was W. Maish, U. S. A. detailed to the First Regiment at Central dur- ing the years 1924-1925. He then was relieved by Major Donovan, and assigned to other duty. On july first, Major Maish again will be oflicially assigned to duty with the Third Regiment. The Whole Brigade gives him a warm welcome, but especially the Third Regi- ment, and of that Regiment especially the Companies at XfVestern, to which it is under- stood the Major will be detailed. This gives each of the largest schools, Central, McKinley, Eastern, and VVestern, an individual military instructor. It is hoped that the Business Com- panies will have their own instructor also at the opening of the Fall term.
