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. 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. '
