Like many other cadeh, Harlan finds the eitended order drill more interesting. This drill consists of combat methods. Ho it taught to mate use of cover, to advance and to fire. No actual firing is done during this drill, however, for all the ammunition used is dummy material. Initiative and leadership are required In this work. Situations arising in the problems furnished oy tho Department of the Army call for quick tr. inking and immediate action.

« C»d«t HarUn C...« l|MMMI J«t ccmmixilii? pl«too» lt o«ii In DRILL is a vary formal affair. It is on the drill field that Harlan learns much of courtesy, discipline and alertness. He. with his entire battalion, is thoroughly schooled in good citizenship, taught the proper respect for superiors and trained in leadership. Learning to drill a squad is the first training in leadership. Throughout the year squad drill and competition is a part of the regular military routine. The squad is the smallest military unit and con- sists of nine to twelve men, two of whom are sergeants. A l instruction is conducted by cadeh under the personal supervision of members of the military faculty. Although military work tales bu ' one hour each day, the training is intensive and much more thorough than that found in larger units. Personal attention is given the individual cadet on the military field as well as in the classroom, end eacn cadet has an equal chance to advance to import- ant positions in Wentworth ' s military realm. In the army, the navy and the marine corps Wentworth is glorified by its alumni who have received their commissions and are distinguishing themselves in official capacities of these respective branches of service.

Meals are carefully planned to suit the needs of all cadets. They ere healthful and nutri- tious and just what active, herd-work- ing boys require. Meal times are at 7:00 in the morning. 12:10 and 6:10. This schedule is varied only on Sunday, when dinner becomes a more elaborate meal served at 12:30. After dinner there is a recreation period during which Harian and other cadets may do pretty much as they choose. The recreation room is a popu- lar place at this time.
