The Cadet Corps and School Morale By Dr. Harvey A. Smith, Principal, Central High School DR. HARVEY A. SMl'l'l-l Principal of Central High School HERE IS, in every school. a certain atmos- phere which characterizes the school and its pupils. This is frequently referred to as the spirit of the school. A better name for it is school morale. This school morale is a product of the actions, attitudes and ideals of the student body as a whole and in turn permeates the entire group of students and helps to fix the ideals, mold the character and determine the actions of each and every student. In this article we are concerned With the in- fluence the cadet corps has on the morale of the school. .Enlisting in its ranks, as it does, almost one-half of the boys enrolled, it is the largest single closely-knit organization in the school. As such it has, whether it will or not, a tremen- dous effect and influence on the life of the school. Any organization that includes in its membership almost one-fourth of the student body must needs do this. Admitted then, that the cadet corps does function vitally in the life of the entire school, how shall it use and make most effective the opportunity that thus comes to it? It must first of all develop in its members an appreciation of and a desire to achieve well- rounded, healthy, moral and physical growth. This means that a cadet must do his best to be a physically healthy young man: he must get the proper amount of sleep, he must eat-well- balanced and nourishing meals: he must pre- serve an erect and upright bearing and posture, and he must get plenty of fresh air and exercise. On the moral side his conduct should be such as to reflect honor on his company and his school. If he is an officer, he must do nothing that might in any way influence adversely the men in his command. If he is a private, his conduct must be so ordered as to make him worthy of the commission to which every cadet, even the latest enlisted rookie aspires. Every cadet should have a feeling of respon- sibility for the school and a pride in its achieve- ments. He should have a proper respect for authority and a willingness to cooperate for the common good. In short, the cadet corps should set a standard of conduct and morals that may well be enlisted by the entire school. Thus should the cadet corps help with the morale of the school. I may safely say that it has accepted this responsibility in a large part and is a great factor in developing boys into young men and setting the proper standards for the school as a Whole.
