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.
