WE, THE CADETS We agree, I am certain, that in speaking of the Western Cadets, we mean, of course, the Seniors, who comprise ninety-nine per cent of our school, considering their use- fulness in each field of academic endeavor. Hence, we begin our discussion, due respect given to Edmund Burke, with the class of ' 35, never to be forgotten. I am sensible, Sir, that the Senior class of ' 35 has been a most successful one, and that quite a group of prominent men will be drawn from it. Graduation, gentlemen say, is a noble object. It is an object well worth striving for. Cer- tainly it is, if graduation be the best way of gaining suc- cess. Gentlemen in this respect will be led to their choice of diplomas by their complexions and their habits. Those who understand Senior Lit. will, of course, have some predilection for it, those who wield the rifles (Springfield — Caliber 30, Model 1903, Weight 8.69 lbs.) may possibly have more confidence in the efficacy of arms. But I confess, pos- sibly for want of this knowledge, that my opinion is much more in favor of fifty diplomas of A grade than of “B , considering B not as an odious, but a feeble document for presentation to a class, so numerous, so growing, so active, so spirited as this, in a pleasant and enjoyable relation with the school. First, Sir, permit me to observe that our present Seniors are anything but ordinary. Behold! They pass in review!
