I lu ty ai Nl! W7 W-'Y 1 i 1 1 1 4 i MORRIS H.MANCHESTER DAVID STOWE rfcmwon SERGEAIVT Tscmvmat SERGEANT THE FIFTH REGIMENT ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL By LT. COL. KENNETH BROMLEY, H. S. C. T NO tin1e during the entire history of the Washington High School Cadet Corps have the interests, desires, and nceds of the nation as a whole become so closely correlated with the aims and ideals of our cadet corps. With l're- paredness the keyword of our country and thousands of men interrupting the normal course of their lives to acquire the military training which will make uPreparedness not a slogan. but a fact, it is a source of pride and satisfaction to every cadet that he has already availed himself of the opportunity to acquire the fundamentals of trrill, tactics, and discipline that are so import ' o our country's welfare today. It is a personal privilege that I can ot overestimate to be the commander of a regiment of our cadet brigade, and especially to be the commander of the Fifth Regi- ment. In my opinion, our regiment is emulating more closely the Regular Army of tht United States than any other regiment in the entire Cadet Corps. l refer to the fact that just as the Regular Army has supplied the experienced men to form the nucleus of our rapidly enlarging military forces and the ofhcers to train those troops, so has the Fifth Regiment of Roosevelt furnished the newest battalion of cadets, that of Coolidge High School, with experienced ofhcers in order that this newest addition to the brigade may take its place proudly and efficiently with the older units upon the competitive fields this spring. It is undoubtedly a fact, however, willingly as we may have rendered this service to Coolidge High and the brigade, that the Fifth Regiment has felt the drain on its manpower. From the largest regiment in its history in 194-0, six companies in all, wc are able to place only four companies upon the held this year. It is a conviction I share with my staff and the regiment, however, that, when the nFifth'7 enters the com- petitions, it will be reduced in size but not in ability. Much credit is due every cadet from my staff down to the youngest recruit for the unceasing work that has been and is being done to preserve our high standards. Speaking of standards or records reminds me that we have here at Roosevelt an organization that has compiled within the past four years a record seldom, if ever, equaled in the history of the brigade- our cadet band. With three consecutive victories and a second behind them. they set out this year to surpass their past achievements. and proved quite capable of doing so under the leadership of Captain Ben Fisher and Drum Major Herbie Jones, both of whom are under the skillful eye of Mr. Jackson. I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank Mr. Barnard, who in his first year in complete charge of military affairs at Roosevelt, has been a never ending source of advice and inspiration. Also l wish to express-through me-the appreciation and thanks of the entire regiment to the other members of the military committee, Mr. Brown, Mr. Littmann, Miss White, and Mr. Lloyd.
