HIGH SCHOOL CADET
Alumni MAY UNITE
Col. Craigie Proposes Organ
iZation to Aid Morale of
Present Brigade.

organization Of an association COM
posed Of former Washington High
School Cadets who had an honorable
record while in the school military
service was proposed today by Lieut.
Col. Wallace NJ. Craigfe, U. S. A., pro-
lessor Of military science and tactics
In the high schools. Such an alumni
association. Col. Cragie believes, will
have splendid morale on the present
cadet brigade and add prestige to the
military body.
Col. Criagie said today that before
attempting to organize the proposed
alumni association he would first OBJ
tain the views of the prominent men
in Washington who were during their
high school life members of the
cadet brigade. He requested that
those concerned communicate with
him at his headquarters in the Frank
lin School building at 18th and K
streets.
An organization similar to the one
proposed by Col. Craigie was organ
lied recently at Business High School.
The personnel is composed of present
and former cadet officers, and its OBJ
ject Is to perpetuate the cadet spirit.
The alumni association planned by
Col. Craigie, however. will not limit
its membership to former officers, but
will include privates as well as nom
commissioned officers.
The newly organized Business High
School Cadet Officers Association will
award three medals annually to the
military company at the school which
makes the best showing in a competi-
tion manual Of arms drill. The first
prize will be a gold medal. the Sec
ond a silver medal. and the third a

The proponents of modification,
