The Brigade Staff By Colonel Jack C. H. Stearns, H. S. C. HE BRIGADE STAFF of 1929-1930 con- sists of four commissioned oflicers and six non- commissio-ned officers. Upon these men, falls the administration of the entire Washington Cadet Corps under the supervision of the Pro- fessor of Military Science and Tactics and his Assistants. The Stall' this year, apointed with head- quarters at Central High School, has worked hard and earnestly to fulfill its duties to the best of its ability. The Staff, as originally ap- pointed, consisted of Majors Goldman, Conn, and Kaplan: and Master Sergeants Dyer, Kur- land, Howard, Crockett, and Carpenter. In February, Sergeants Kurland and Carpenter were appointed to other positions. Sergeant Car- penter became a lieutenant on the 2d Battalion Staff and Sergeant Kurland transferred to the new Company to hold the position of Quarter- master Sergeant. Sergeants Johnson and Hiero- nimus were chosen from the Regimental Staff to fill the positions left vacant, Sergeant Hieroni- mus as Color Sergeant and Sergeant Johnson as Technical Sergeant. Sergeant Rothrock was appointed as the second Technical Sergeant. There are certain men of the staff who should be given special commendation. They are Major Goldman, as Business Manager of the ADJUTANT and Major Conn as Photographic Manager of the ADJUTANT. The duties of Brigade Quartermaster have also been ably car- ried out by Major Kaplan. In closing, I wish to express my gratitude to the Brigade Staff for its excellent cooperation during the past year. Working with these men has been a stimulating and interesting experience. I sincerely hope that the Brigade Staff has added something to the significance of the Corps as it has upheld its highest standards and regulations. Approach of Valley Forge By Charles Heyward, H. S. C. View at Valley Forge, through trees in the direction of the chapel l39l As I approach this grey-hilled park, I stop and listen close, for harkl Is that the boom of guns I hear. Or th' echo ringing in my ear Of years gone by, when Washington Led his cold and weary men? The wind cuts through and takes my breath, But I think of how those men met death, And I hope, and wish, that I might know How heroes feel when the wind does blow Much worse than when it does as I Approach and Watch the sights go by. As 'neath the Memory Arch I pass, I see all as through a glass- While the cold winds blow at Valley Forge.
