HIGH LIGHTS OF 1937-38 Editor's Noth: This account is based upon the diary of Cadet John J Kadet. SEPTEMBER 15th: Checked in this afternoon at one o'clock. Imagine my surprise to learn tint the old campus was even more beautiful than ever. I found Mrs Sandford Sellers working at her flowers. She told me about all the old boys who had been down to school to make short visits during the summer. SEPTEMBER 14th: Intelligence tests were given to the new boys, and they seemed as confused as was I a year ago. They all seemed rather discouraged, but I cheered them up, advising them not to let a mere I. Q. develop into neurasthenia. SEPTEMBER 20th: The Red Dragon football squad had a real steak dinner out at Pryor Lodge. For a little fellow Harry Ice sure can punish the meat! SEPTEMBER 27th: Mary McCormick gives a concert at Wentworth. We put on a special dress parade for her, and even made her an honorary colonel. She seemed to like her title. Now that she his a title she wants to know if she can hand out any demerits. OCTOBER 18tb: Well, school has been on for some time now and we’re getting set for Homecoming The local alumni met in the dining room and a few of us football players were asked to nuke short speeches. Sure' we were game! Why not when it means an extra meal and a chance to skip G Q. OCTOBER 26th: Dancing classes start and I finally get up enough nerve to sign up for the course. What a pretty little doll Mrs. Jones imported from the city to demonstrate these lessons. Say, had I known this, I would have signed up for dancing last year OCTOBER 29th: The first military big guns visit Use campus. Lt. Colonel Robert C. G. Goerz inspects Wentworth in connection with his periodical check of activities in the 7th Corps Area. NOVEMBER 8th: J. Peterson, a super-luminary of the billiard world, made us all perk up our cars and put on our specs when he started doing tricks in the recreation room. After that splendid exhibition, it will be a long time before those fellows down in B Company will start bragging again. NOVEMBER llth: A special service was conducted in front of the Soldiers' Monument on the campus Many visitors were on hand for the ceremony. Mrs. Sellers placed the wreath at the foot of the statue while Colonel Mac delivered the eulogy, NOVEMBER 17th: The local Rotarians decided to play the part of good Samaritans to all cadets whose fathers were members of that group. Wc had a grand meal and made hud of friends. Visiting with the Rotarians is indeed a pleasant pastime; it is quite a contrast to reciting in class or working off excess. NOVEMBER 20th: Colonel E. A. Hickman, formerly a Commandant at Wentworth returns hcie to pay a visit to Colonel Sandford Sellers. He seemed mighty pleased with our lines, and thought that we were pretty good. We think so, too! NOVEMBER 25rh: The roost exciting day on the Wentworth campus. Yeah, man, of course you can guess it. We play Kemper today, and to Boonville wc go by special train . . . (about fourteen hours later) . « . well, well get them next time ... they cant win all the time. NOVEMBER 50th: Captain James McCormick paid us a visit and had all the Texas cadets as dinner guests down at the Victory. Wc cornered him later and he told us some tall yarns about his experiences in ridding Texas of its badmen. Wc dug up some old firearms that Colonel Sellers had in his collection, and Captain McCormick gave ui a few pointers on the use of these weapons.
