HERE ii Harlan, a typical Wentworth cadot— a fine young Amer- ican — manly, scholarly and upright. His respect for duty and responsibility has won for him the rank of sergeant. He may have come from a large city or a very small town — that males no difference to the democratic spirit that prevails at Wentworth. He may be from a wealthy family or a family in meager circumstances — most of his dessmates would never know, nor even be curious, unless he chose to tell them. But ho 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 himseif. his family and friends, and society as a whole. Harlan, like all the others, participates in many activities besides those sho wn. But let ' s follow him through a typical day. • • • H rUn fahl.

Furthermore, no two students have quite the seme duties tc perform throughout any given day. There is. however, a defmra routine that afl cadet follow each day. It is used to instill perfect regularity and promptness in attendance upon all duties prescribed for one and all cadets alike. While It requires some adjustments for new students to become accustomed to tfiis rou tine, any si ' lqht hint of monotony is soon lost in the kaleidoscopic whirl of the school year To give oarents and others a better insight, 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.

« HUrUn ' t firtf duty it « thorou K, Ml CANT G£T ' EM UP, blows the bugler, but he does, and at 6:35 o ' dock anothor day is under woy. Cadet Harlan goes first to the sanitary lavatory on h ' is floor. A good washup 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 to form persona! habits of order. Each morning Harlan makes his own bed, puts his clothes in order and helps his roommate clean the room. Hajhw nulm up hit
