Local High School Cadets.
The Washington High School Cadet Regl-
ment will turn out nearly eight hundred
strong for the inaugural parade next Sat
urday, always providing the weather is not
inclement in which case the boys who nave
no uniform overcoats will not be allowed
by the school authorities to participate. VI
the number expected to participate about
one hundred and seventy-five will be col
ored cadets from the M Street High School
and the Armstrong Manual Training School.
Each of the high schools will be repre-
scented by one or more companies.
Although the orders have not yet been
issued from school headquarters designating
the exact formation Of the regiment and
the rendezvous for the parade 1t is under
stood the companies will march without
much, If any, change in their present for
nation, and that the place of meeting will
be near the corner of Sd and streets
southeast AS the cadets are to join the
parade after the ceremonies at the Capitol
are over they will probably receive orders
to assemble some time after noon.
The position assigned to the regiment is
the last in the cadet division Of the military
portion of the parade. Here they will be
associated with cadet companies from mill
tary schools all over the country, who will
be given precedence over each other in the
alphabetical order Of the states from which
they hail. This will place the District, as
territory. at the end of the list, but it has
been stated by an official of the parade that
this situation is looked upon as very fortu-
nate, In view of the fact that large and
well-drilled body of cadets like that Of the
local high schools will have a well-rounding
effect on the cadet division.
Efforts are being put forth to secure the
services of the band of the LIST Regiment of
the Maryland National Guard of Baltimore
1t Is regarded as desirable. In order that
the boys may make the best possible show
ing. that they should have music of their
own. The organization of musicians re-
ferred to includes thirty-one pieces, and
should 1t be procured the expense will be
borne by the members of the cadet regi-
ment.
