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. Stow, M. H. VVillett, and Lieutenants Myers and Withers.

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.
