the Uifliicers from the Girls By GWEN NORTON, Central High School The fact that clothes do make the man Is all too often trueg And uniforms do play a part In our regard for you. Alas! the dazzle of your braid Affects our flapper hearts- Sometimes pierced through by sabre points Instead of Cupid's darts! Your coats so trim, your shoulder-straps, Yourselves so straight and tall, Your belts, your caps, your gloves-we have A weakness for them all. And do we look at shields askance And Wonder-? Oh, my, yes! To secret longings, for cross-guns fShame!j All of us confess. When down the hall we slowly stroll What joy, what fun, what pride To have a Major toW'ring tall, A Captain at our side! And thus We fall for uniforms, As Well as grins and curlsg If this confession shows us weak, Forgive usfwe are girls. 23

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.
