CORR GUYER KILDUFF CORE JOHN CLEMMONS ATTACHED ro keanu, Arm mio ro neo. Ha. THE FIRST REGIMENT By LT. COL. JOHN H. ANDERSON, H. S. C. HE Washington High School Cadet Corps is an organization of which we may all he justly proud. We, at Central, are even more proud of the fact that fifty-nine years ago. in l882, the first companies of the Cadet Corps were formed at our school. Although heset with difficulties, the members of those forerunners of our present hrigade. through hard work, overcame them. The cadets of today. in the same spirit. prove that they have tht- perseverance necessary to win out in spite of all obstacles. When the First Regiment was formed early in Octoher, enough men were present to form two hattalions of two companies each and a hand smaller than that of the preceding year. Conlronted with this hrst disappointment of having the smallest regiment of recent years, the members of the band and the companies resolved to main- tain and improve. if possihle, the quality of past years. Soon it was learned that the regiment was to lose to active service its ahle and cflicient military instructor. Captain l'attl li. Doerr, who was himself Captain of Com- pany l , lfaslern. in 1921. ln this case our loss was also the loss of the whole brigade. 'l'he search for a more competent ollicer would be long and arduous indeed. At this time tht- l irst liegiment was very fortunate. for. to take over the position of military instructor. we had our former haskethall coach, lVlr. Lynn Woodworth, who had volun- tcered to give his time and services to the Cadet Corps. 'lille added disadvantage of heing deprived of the use of our stadium only served to increase the spirit of cooperation comhined with determination which had mani- fested itself early in the year. Forgotten were personal likes and dislikes, discarded were personal amhitions. lnstead there was a unified desire to excel in every Wlly. Following in the footsteps of last yearis ollicers, whose dilhcult task it was to teach to the men the new infantry drill regulations, the olhcers and non-commissioned olliccrs have devoted themselves to helping the hoys to excel. Spurred on hy the indomitahle will to win and hy the spirit instilled in them hy their instructors, Captain Doerr and Mr. NVoodvvorth, the cadets of the First Regiment, regardless of the results of the competitions. cannot lose. They have felt the real pleasure of having worked hard and attained that goal of perfection. My four years as a cadet have well illustrated to me that maxim which appears in this yearhook. Save he serve, no man can rulefi This axiom epitomizes the whole purpose. the whole motive force hehind the Cadet Corps-service. Every man. private, non-com. or ollicer. realizes this. It is our hoast that when the school wants something done well it calls on the Cadet Corps. Of such a hody. then. it has heen my privilege and honor to serve as commander during the past school year. l must feel. therefore. in spite of whatever l may have done during that time. that l have derived more from my memhership in the Cadet Corps than l have given to it. for it has been my honor to he the commander of what l believe to he the finest group of boys in the Country.
