Description: This thesis attempts to answer the following research questions: (1) Does participation or perseverance in non-athletic extra-curricular activities in high school (defined as attaining membership or persisting in the same activities throughout high school) result in better leadership performance at the Naval Academy? (2) Can a measure be devised to predict leadership performance at the U.S. Naval Academy based on demonstrated participation and perseverance in high school non-athletic extra-curricular activities? To analyze these questions, a quantitative analysis of the Naval Academy classes of 1994 through 1998 is undertaken to determine if there is a significant relationship between perseverance in extra-curricular activities in high school and leadership ascent at the Naval Academy.
