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.

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.
