H.rl.n- typiul Werrtwortli cade HERE is Harlan, a typical Wentworth cadat— a fine young Amer- ican — manly, scholarly upright. His respect for duty ard responsibility has won for him the rank of sergeant. He may have come from a large city or a very smell town — that mates no difference to the democratic spirit that prevails at Wentworth. He may be from a wealthy family or a family in meager circumstances — most rf his classmates would never know, nor even be curious, unless he chose to tell them. But he typifies all the fine qualities of a deserving and ambitious youth as he goes through the tried and age-proved Went- worth process of becoming a real man, a real asset to himself, his family and friends, and society as a whole. HoHan. like all the others, participates in many activities besides those shown. But lets follow him through a typical day. • HmU.

Furthermore, no two students have quite the same duties to perform throughout any given day . There is, however, a definite routine that all cadets follow each day. II is used to instill perfect regularity and promptness in attendance upon all duties prescribed for one end all cadets alike. While it requires some adjustments for new students to become accustomod to this rou tme any slight hint of monotony is soon lost in the kaleidoscopic whirl of the school year. To give parents and others a better insiqht, the following pages have been used to set forth, pictorially. the day ' s activities from Reveille to Taps, of a typical Wentworth boy whom we will designate as Cadet Harlan.

««| CAN ' T GET ' EM UP, blows the bugler, but he does, and at 6:35 o ' clock another day is under woy. Cadet Harlan goes first to the sanitary lavatory on his floor. A good washuo is part of the routine, for a cadet is expected to keep him- self dean at all times. At 6:50 he goes to a well-prepared breakfast. After breakfast, rooms must be cleaned. One of the basic aims of our system is fo form personal habits of order. Each morning Harlan makes his own bed, puts his clothes in order and helps his roommate clean the room.
