These meet- ings are conducted by the Academy Chaplain, but are not strictly religious. Travel talks, health lectures, scientific demonstrations and short sermons, presented by outstanding speak- ers, are frequently on the program. The serv- ice is opened with a hymn, prayer and respon- sive readings, and closed with the singing of Wnntworth, the Academy song. Pep meetings, preceding important ath- letic contests, are also held in the chapel. These are always occasions of great fun. Students and faculty make rousing speeches. The cadet band furnishes gay, martial music and everyone antic- ipates the big game on the morrow. Athletic contests are important recreational events. Every caner ananas mem.

All players receive intensive training, both in the art of the game and in clean sportsmanship. Football ranks as the number one sport and the Red Dragon elevens are consistent win- ners. The fine spirit of players and corps is credited with being a strong determining factor in every contest. In the wmter months basketball comes into the spotlight. Again there are the varsity and company teams and a place for every cadet who desires to play. Home games are p ' .eyed in the spacious gymnasium where there are two courts and ample space for Wentworth is a member of the Missouri Junior College conference, an athletic asso- ciation numbering ten schools as members. Almost every major and many minor sports a ' « on the Wentworth program— all played undo ' competent coaches — and every caoet is required to participate.
