««| 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.

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.

Strict inspection of quarters is a daily routine. Formal inspec- tion of Harian ' s person, room and equipment occurs on Sunday morning. At this time unusual care must be taken in cleaning the room. Our friend sees that hidden corners are carefully dusted, chairs poiished, and everything put in order. Then he takes care of his person. There s brass to shine, leather to polish, hair to brush, and whiskers to be removed. A certain time is allotted for ttiis preparation and all work must be done within that time. This young fellow knows that any deficiency in this work receives what is known in Academy language as a skin — which counts against one ' s company in color competition.
