'THE SECOND BATTALION. FIFTH REGIMENT ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL By MAJOR NEAL GILBERT, H. S. C. 1 ISI L12 HUNTON LEITH MAJOR NEAL GILBERT Iff- LT. HAL M. LOWRY ADJUTANT COMMANDER sunptv offfcfk lllflilf. years ago, when l lirsl entered the Cadets at iloosexclt lligh School. there was quite a mnnher of rookies. Some ollicers were instructed to form us in a single line according to height. Although l was standing near the tall end at the time, l was moved with startling and lnnnilialing rapidity to the shorter end. Thus l entered the Second Battalion. which it has heen my pleasure to command during the past year. Rememhering the confusion of our first few drills in Felvruary. when to lift that Springfield rifle seemed almost a fferculean task, l am amazed that hy March we were ahle to perform rifle manual with thc ease of veterans. l recall how quickly the drill was over: l did not realize then the hours of practice and consultation which are necessary for a smooth coordination of the companies and the staff. It is this coordination which makes cadets such yalnalile training. For a cadet is a part of a group, a machine, as the time-honored metaphor. He learns, in the conrse of three years, to adjust himself to all positions-priyate, non-com, and com- missioned ollicer. ln all these roles, the cadet must work with others, as a superior or as an inferior. The process of reaching the top in the cadet corps is a lienelicial one. in which irregularities of personality are smoothed out. For their assistance. l wish to thank my faithful right-hand men. Lieut. lluntou Leith. Battalion Adjutant. and Lieut. Hal Lowry, who has capahly filled the post of Supply Officer left vacant last Feliruary lay the graduation of Lieut. Donald Frazier. Company l has heen ahly trained hy Captain Claude Dickerson and his ollicers. Lieuts. Holy Finlay and Pete Turner. Captain John VVolfe's work with Company K has been exceptionally conscientious, as has that of his aides. Lieuts. Paul Willhide and Morton Goode. Lastly. my thanks fro to Mr. Barnard and the rest of the Military Committee. . . l . whose praise has been cheerfully given.
