Training Which is Secured by the
High School Cadets.
GROWTH OF THE ORGANIZATION
A Record Which is Highly Credita-
be and Brilliant.
S KILL D IN R1LLIN G

The High School Cadet Corps has gained
for itself a wide reputation. The organiza-
tion is recognized as one of the features Of
Washington of which the citizens are just
ly proud.
At the national interstate drill held here
in May. 1857. the High School Cadets gave
an exhibition drill which was considered
by army officers to be the best drill seen
during the week Every movement that
could be done by platoon and company was
executed in manner that had not been
equaled during the week OF he encamp-
ment- The grace, regularity and precision
with which every command was executed
won high commelda ton for the boys and
had they been allowed to compete for
prizes they would undoubtedly have Sc
cured one.
The Morton Cadets, which is conceded to
be one of the best drilled companies in the
United States, is composed almost entirely
OF High School Cadets. All of the officers
down TO the company guides. received their
hrst instruction in the High School Cadet
Corps, as did at least Seven-eighths of the
drin team that won honors at Memphis
last year and also the one that is preparing
