FOREWORD AND DEDICATION
Freshmen, through this staff the Citadel welcomes you. We hope that as a cadet each of you will not only uphold the traditions and honor of dur college, but also make an honest endeavor to improve the standards in every phase of cadet life already established by the men who have gone before you. The measure of the Citadel Spirit, cherished by every alum- nus and cadet is what each cadet puts into whatever he is doing, whether work or recrea- tion, and to what extent he cooperates with the faculty and his fellow cadets. If, in these pages, we have been able to give you an idea of cadet life and activities, if we have pre- pared a handbook which will be useful to you, if we have in a small way given you a start toward becoming a true Citadel man and early acquiring the Bull Dog Spirit, we will not feel that our efforts have been wasted.
Old men, ]n welcoming you back to the Cita- del, we trust that you come prepared to con- duct yourselves as true Citadel men. May you realize that on the shoulders of upper- classmen and especially s'eniors rests the im- portant responsibility of leading the Corps, and moulding the morale at the Citadel. We hope that you will find this little book not only a useful article in everyday life but also a constant reminder of your duties and obli- gations as a cadet.
To Captain D. S. McAlister, the "Y" Hand- book of 1928-1929 is dedicated. The staff feels that Capt. McAlister deserves this honor not only because he is a man of sterling character, but also because through his efforts ,the at- tractiveness of the social and especially the athletic activities of The Citadel has increased perceptibly. He graduated from The Citadel in 1924. After being an instructor for two years in the Physics Department, he was during the year 1926-1927, Registrar and Director of Cadet Affairs.

f the many responsibilities of the latter office, ie devoted his enitre time to the direction of adet activities. Because he was recently a adet himself, he knows the needs and wishes f the Corps, and even more, he has the wel- are and growth of the Citadel at heart.
MARKS OF A CADET
There are many things which brand a man s a Citadel man after he has been at the Jitadel for any length of time. There are also lany small things which each cadet should bserve in their relations to each other, and iany things which should be avoided. A cadet tiould always hold himself in an erect posi- . on such as is required of a good soldier, and e should always keep his uniform in good con- ition lest he have a slouchy appearance. ladets should speak of each other as cadets nd not as boys or men. Chewing gum, horse lay, and gamboling while in public places re- ect discredit upon the Citadel. Above all lings, cadets should remember that diversion com the rules which stamp a man a gentleman eflect, not upon the cadet himself to any armful extent, but upon the uniform and the ihool which his uniform represents.

THE PALMETTO "HAPPINESS"
"Happiness is like a crystal,
Fair and exquisite and clear; Broken into a million pieces.
Scattered, scattered, far and near. Now and then, along life's pathway,
Lo, some shining fragments fall, But there are so many pieces,
No one ever finds them all.
"You may find a bit of beauty.
On an honest share of wealth, While another just beside you
Gathers honor, love or health. Vain to choose or grasp unduly:
Broken is the perfect ball, And there are so many pieces,
No one ever finds them all.
"Yet the wise, as on they journey, Treasure every fragment clear ;
Fit them as they may together, Imaging the perfect sphere,
Learning even to be thankful. Though their share of it is small,
For it has so many pieces- No one ever finds them all."

JAMES MORRISON LELAND
James Morrison Leland, the son of Mrs. E. L. Leland, was born in McClellanville, S. C, November 25, 1896. No events of any import- ance occurred during the youth of "J. M." Like most children of that day he attended the elementary schools and then entered the high school. In 1915 he was graduated from the McClellanville High School. Before entering an institution of higher learning, "J. M." decided to spend a year at the Patterson In- dustrial School, at Legerwood, N. C.
In the fall of 1916, "J. M." entered the freshman class at Clemson College. His col- lege career was interrupted in his junior year by the War. He was in service at Camp Gordon, and consequently only attended Clem- son for five months during his junior year. However he was able to make up the work los/t and was graduated with his class in 1920. After leaving Clemson, he taught school for a year at Patterson Industrial School. However, feeling convinced that he should devote his life to religious workd he decided to enter the "Y" graduate school at Nashville, Tennessee. lie spent two years there and took courses at Vanderbilt University at the same time. In June, 1923, he received his Master's Degree from the "Y" school and also one from Van- derbilt.
Mr. Leland's early youth did not pass with- out being touched by romance. While he was attending Vanderbilt, he met and fell in love with Miss Helen P'atton, of Nashville, also a student at Vanderbilt and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternity. They were married in June 1924, two weeks after Miss Patton's graduation. Mr. and Mrs. Leland have two children, Edward Patton Leland, and "J. M. Jr."
THE PALMETTO 7
In the fall of 1923, Mr. Leland succeeded Charles S. Nesbitt as general secretary of the Citadel Y. M. C. A. Since that time his con- nection with The Citadel has been unbroken. By his willingness to aid cadets at all times in any manner, and by his evident and zeal- ous s»pirit of cooperation with cadets, "Zeke", as he has come to be known, has won a place in the hearts of the members of the corps of cadets.
Cadets, when you are on leave, patronizze the concerns whose names you see in this book as advertisers. They have made this little book possible by their generous help, and in turn should be patronized to the fullest extent by you. They are friends to you and the Cita- del, so give them your support in return. The handbook staff wishes to thank these concerns for their help. We appreciate your generosity more than we can express.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
Brief Sketch of History
The Young Men's Christian Association, like all great organizations had its origin in one man. Sir George Williams of London, England. He was a poor lad, who worked in a drapery establishment in the city of London, but who found time to speak a word for his* Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Feeling the deep need for daily prayer and spiritual up- lift, he called together a number of his com- panions, and each morning they held a prayer meeting in an upper room of that establishment. Their group kept growing, and soon they had quite a following. From this group grew what is today known as the foremost organization for the carrying of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to young men through- out the world.
The Sfcudent Young Men's Christian As- sociation of which we are a part, is one of the many branches of this great organiza- tion, and it works for the uplift and welfare of the young men in college throughout the world. Its membership runs into the thou- sands, and other Associations are being formed every year. Most associations have
10 THE PALMETTO
secretaries to head up the work, but the students.' of the college are the chief promot- ers arid workers in the associations. They are student organizations, and it is the duty and privilege of every student to back them in the best way possible.
OBJECT
1. ^o lead students to faith in God through Jesus Christ.
2. To lead them into membership and ser- vice in the Christian church.
3. To promote their growth in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible and daily prayer.
4,. To influence them to devote them- selves in united effort with all Christians to making the Will of Christ effective in hu- man society and extending the Kingdom of God throughout the world.
MEMBERSHIP
Every student of The Citadel is at matri- culation an associate member of the Young Men's Christian Association. Thus, each man should lend his utmost effort towards; the building up fo a greater and stronger organi- zation, showing his interest by helping in every way he can to carry on the work, and not hindering it. According to the constitu- tion of the International Y. M. C. A., the active members consist of those students? who are members of Evangelical churches and who are alone allowed to vote and hold office.

SCOPE OF WORK
What is the Y. M. C. A. at The Citadel and for what purpose does it exist? It is a live, always active organization, made up of every Cadet in school, existing for the purpose of serving the corps as a whole as well as in- dividually, not only in religious matters, but in every way possible. It makes every effort in its power to carry out the great aim. "A clean mind in a sound body." Don't get the idea that he Y is a puritanical, inhuman kind of an organization. It is just the opposite, a young man's association in every respect ; and there is much fun as well as help in it for you, if you will just take part.
The Y staff is? made up of some of the best type and most representative men of the school. They are always glad to serve you, and take great pleasure in helping you out of any kind of a tight place. So bring your wrinkles to them and let them iron them out for you. Likewise, the Y secretary will be more than a friend to you, and is always looking for an opportunity to be of service.
The Y holds? special service on Sunday night. There are also many other meetings at other times. There are always good speak- ers, and often good song services and if you've never gotten to-gether with a bunch of men in a service like this, you've certainly missed yomething. Interesting slides and moving pictures are often shown. On the rifle range these pictures are particularly enjoyed. Ef- forts are also made to give those men who do not go out for the major sports an oppor- tunity to get some exercise and fun. Thus different games' are promised by the secretary in the evenings after classes. These things are for all the cadets, so get in the habit of tak- ing part in them, and make the Y even big- ger and better.
12 THE PALMETTO
THE SUPREME GIFT.
If I would endow my son or my daughter with but one supreme gift, should that be riches ? Nay, riches will take wings and fly away. Should it be power? Power too often corrupts and enslaves its possessor. Should it be beauty of person or grace of manner? Theste are things which perish with the years. Should it be intellect? This is good, but it is not the best. My one supreme gift, more precioua than money or power, more enduring than beauty, more satisfying and serviceable than genius, would be a deep sense of duty, a love of it, a faith in it which wofctld lead my child to give himself to it with joy and enthusiasm, and find in it an exceeding great reward. — Selected.

SUNDAY NIGHT RELIGIOUS SERVICE
Every Sunday night right after supper the Y has a religious service which is always* at- tended by many of the cadets. This meeting usually consists of a song service and a good talk by someone, who is* engaged by the secre- tary. Sometimes, however, some society or organization from the city comes out and puts on a very interesting program for the cadets. But whatveer may be the program, these services are always interesting and enjoyable. Don't let anything keep you away from them, for much good may be obtained from every single one. Whatever it may cost you in other respects, the spirit and higher ideals which will become yours for the attendance of such services will more than make up the deficit. So be sure to get the habit of going from the very rfist. You will find these services just the thing with which to end a week-end of pleasures. Moreover, you will find that by starting the coming week of classes and study- ing in this way, you will feel more disposed to do your work ,and can accomplish more no matter what you undertake.
MORNING WATCH
Every athlete will tell you that he who practices most is better able to kep up the race. So with the life of a Christian ; he who prays most, lives closer to Christ and is bet- ter able to overcome the barriers' and win the race of life. So be sure to get in the prayer group nearest your company, and every morn- ing just after reveille meet with this group, and devote just a few minutes to the worship of God. If you start the day off this way, you cannot go wrong for the remaining twenty- three hours and fifty-nine minutes

BLUE RIDGE.
Blue Ridge, in the "Land of the Sky", is the name of the "Y" conference held every year near Blue Ridge, N. C. Here about three or fofur hundred students from the ten south- ern states meet for ten days' to discuss prob- lems of college life, to hear lectures by eminent speakers, and to enjoy a general outing that is very inviting after nine months of hard study.
The scenery around Blue Ridge is noted for its beauty ; and there the unchanging sound of flowing water, the whispering of the trees, and the coolness and purity of the mountain breezes, together create an atmosphere that is peaceful, restful, and ideal fo_r worship.
At this conference the mornings' are devoted to meetings where interesting talks are made by men and women from all parts of the world. Work is discontinued in the afternoon and time is given to hiking, swimming, and to playing tennis, baseball, volley ball, and other games. After supper about forty-five minutes is devoted to the meeting of the various dis- cussion groups, into which the conference is* divided. Then there is a lecture, after which there is usually some kind of amusement, such as story telling or singing. Last year, we had Garibaldi, an educated native of Africa, tn tell some very interesting stories of the Africans and their superstitions.
Ten days spent at Blue Ridge are ten davs of character building, of righteous training, and of uplifting thought. If vou go to Blue "Radge, vou will never regret it. and you will rtovcr fnrrret the pleasant ti^ne yon will have thorp.

CONFERENCES
Of course Blue Ridge is one of the besJt and most popular conferences that is held in the South by the Y. M. C. A. It is always well attended by all the schools of the South and has a most representative body of delegates. But there are a number of other good confer- ences' also that are held each year for students.
Among these conferences, there is the Student Volunteer Conference held at some place in the state, to which The Citadel always sends delegates.
Once every four years a conference is held somewhere in the United States of the Student International Volunteer Movement. Year be- fore last it was hied at Milwaukee. There are other conferences which areheld from time to time ,and The Citadel always tries to send delegates to all of them..

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE CITADEL
Previous to the year 1841, the State of South Carolina had two depositories for its arms and munitions of war: — The Citadel in Charleston, and The Arsenal in Columbia. These were guarded by companies of enlist- ed men, with retained Officers, and were maintained at an expense of twenty-four thousand dollars per annum.
It was Gov. Richardson who made the suggestion that these garrisons be replaced by young men, who, while serving as guard, should receive military tarining, and instruc- tion in the practical and mechanical arts. Under the administration of his successor, Gov. Hammond, an Act of the Legislature was passed in 1842 creating The Citadel and Arsenal Academies.
The Board appointed by the Governor to carry out the purpose of the Act lost no time in performing theitf duty, and the Facul- ty of The Citadel was elected on Feb. 23rd. following. By March 20th both The Citadel and The Arsenal were in operation.
In arranging the course of studies for The Citadel, the report of the Board to the Gen- eral Assembly says: The Board have aim- ed at a system, of education at once scienti- fic and practical and which, if their original design is carried out, will eminently qualify the cadets there taught for almost any station and condition of life."
The Arsenal, at first co-equal with The Citadel, was soon incorporaed with it, and had for its special function the instruction andtraining of recruits forming what was known as the Fourth Class.
The first class, numbering six men, was graduated in 1848. C. C. Tew, first honor man of his class, afterwards founded the Hillsboro Military Academy in North Caro- lina, was Colonel of N. C. troops in the Confederate Army, and killed at Sharpsburg,

Sept. 1862, while commanding Anderson's Brigade.
The vahie to the State of the military ^<uning given at The Citadel is strikingly 'n by the fact that, of the two hundred forty graduates before the War between tates, about two hundred were officers e Confederate service, and forty three aown their lives upon the battlefield. Trie list of Citadel officers in that great con- flict ia an honor roll of which/ any institution may well be proud.
There are two dates in the history of the State Military Academy which mark the boundaries of this greatest military struggle of the century. Between Jan. 9, 1861, and May 9, 1865, what a tragic history was en- acted!
On the former date, Maj. P. F. Stevens, Superintendent, and a graduate of The Cit- adel, in command of a detachment of Cit- adel Cadets manning a battery of 24-pound- ers on Morris Island, drove off the steamer, "Star of the West," which was attempting to relieve Fort Sumter thus firing the first hostile shot of the War.
On the later date, Capt. J. P. Thomas, Superintendent of The Arsenal, and also a graduate of The Citadel, with the cadets of his command, had a skirmish with Stone- mans raiders near Wiliston, S. C, thus firing the last shot of the War delivered by any body of troops east of the Mississippi River.
At the present time, the corps? of cadets has an annual drill for the "Star of the West" medal, a handsome trophy for the best-drilled cadet of the corps, presented to the institution many years ago by Dr. B. H. Teague, a veteran of the War. This medal gets its name from a piece of wood, in the form of a star, taken from the historic vessel.
At the fall of Charleston, in February, 1865 .The Citadel was occupied by Federal
24 THE PALMETTO
troops. The corps of cadets was at that time in the field in the upper part of the State, and never returned to the institution, which continued in the hands of the United States military authorities, in spite of the best ef- forts of the State to recover it, until 1881.
In that year Gov. Hagood said in his annual message to the General Assembly : "The State Military Academy at Charleston has been suspended in its' operations since the late Civil War. This has been due to the fact that the building known as The Citadel in which it has its seat, has been since the close of the War in the possession of the United States authorities, and has been used by them until recntly as a military post.
"It is understood that the General Govern- ment is now prepared to restore it to the custody of the State. It is desirable that this property be recovered, and again devoted to the purpose of higher education, in/ the facili- ties for which our needs are greater than the source of supply."
An Act to authorize the re-opening of The South Carolina Military Academy was passed by the General Assembly and approved Janu- ary 31, 1882.
The Citadel was re-opened on Oct. 1st, 1882, with 189 cadets', and has been in con- tinuous and successful operation ever since.
In 1888 the sum of $77,250 was recovered from Congress for the occupation of the Citadel building by the Federal troops, and for the destruction of the west wing by fire while occupied by them. With this fund the Wing way restored, and the building thor- oughly equipped in its departments.
In 1908, the Central Police Station, which was erected on the King Street end of the Citadel property, just after the earthquake in 1886 ,was purchased by the State, and fitted up for the use of the college.
THE PALMETTO 26
In 1910, the Legislature fixed the title of the institution as "The Citadel,. The Mili- tary College of South Carolina." In the same year an appropriation was made for the construction of the Meeting Street Extension thus completing the design and furnishing equipment for all the anticipated neds of the institution.
But the college soon demanded larger quar- ters and, to meet this need, in 1918, the City of Charleston offered the State a mag- nificent tract of nearly 200, acres of land ad- jacent to Hampton Park, beautifully situ- ated on the Ashley River, for a Greater Citadel." he Legislature accepted the offer and in 1918 and 1920 made appropriations for the necessary buildings.
During the next two years the construc- tion of the new plant was in progress, and the session of 1922-23 opened in the com- modious quarters which had been provided at a cost of more than a million dollars. The college facilities in laboratories and classrooms have ben largely increased, dor- mitory accommodations have been enlarged forty per cent, and ample and beautiful grounds for all military work and athletic activities have been provided.
ASSOCIATION OF GRADUATESu
Since the year 1877, when it was first or- ganized, the Association of Graduates has worked unceasingly and has accomplished much towards the expansion and general welfare of The Citadel.
One does not have to be a graduate of The Ciatdel to belong to the Association. Besides graduates, all cadets who have been honorably
26 THE PALMETTO
discharged or have been permitted to resign from The Citadel are eligible for membership. It is the duty as well as the privilege of every honorable ex-cadet to join this; organiza- tion.
It is the piurpose of the Association to pro- mote all things which will react to the good interests of the Military College of South Caro- lina. It is only through wholesome coopera- tion that anything worthwhile can be accom- plished, and, knowing this the Association strives to stay perfectly organized so as to be able to act as a unit at any time it may be necessary. In this way all alumni and ex- cadets are able to keep in touch with thier Alma Mater, to stay informed of its successes and troubles^ and to give a helping hand when necessary.
The Association holds its annual banquet on the night before Commencement. The mem- bers of the graduating class each year are invited to attend vo that they may all be to- gether as a unit before going forth into the world individually. At this banquet plans for the ensuing year are discussed and plans are made for the whole-hearted, cooperation of the members in keeping the Citadel foremost in their thoughts.
Members of the graduating class automati- cally become members of the Association the first year without paying any dues, but after this year they are expected to pay the small annual fee of two dollars, or twenty four dol- lars for life membership.
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work in hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

As this handbook goes to press there is no Honor System, in name, at the Citadel. Last i year during the second term at a meeting of the entire Corps, it was voted to do away with the Honor System because under prevailing conditions it was not serving its ttfue purpose and was doing as much harm as benefit. Whether an Honor Code will be drawn up by the Board of Visitors which will suit the aim and purpose of an honor system at the Ciatdel is to be determined by future happenings, but as it is the Corps awaits their action.
However, it is not for one minute to be thought that there is no honor at thA Citadel. As a matter of fact cadets are even more care- ful of their actions now than they were while the Honor System was in practice in the school. The vote to abolish the honor system has impressed on the corps a desire to avoid even the appearance of a violation of honor more than any Honor Committee ever had or probably ever will. It is now a question of personal character, and each cadet does his best to convince his fellow cadets that he is an honorable gentleman. Without honor, the Citadel would be unable to exist. Honor at this institution has always been one of its most cherished possessions and always will. The Citadel thrived and grew before the in- stallation of the Honor System and there is no reason why it should not continue to grow and expand without any system except a gentle- man's honor.
A man who does not know how to learn from his own mistakes turns the best school- Trpster crit of his life.
The most remarkable thin.or about Pythian insurance is the peace of mind it brings to those possessing it.
30 THE PALMETTO
INTERPRETATION OF REGULATIONS).
The following is a list of interpretations of regulations accepted by the corps of cadets. The high spirit of honor of the corps demands that these be maintained :
1. "All Right Sir" on coming on sen- tinels post. After reporting "All right sir" on coming on sentinels' posts, one cannot break barracks or visit ; i. e., if you are going to the latrine or other authorized place on authorized business, and some one calls you av you pass his room, you can find out what he wants, (this is punishable by military author- ity), or if you are in the latrine or anywhere else on authorized business, yc*u may talk to other boys after you have finished. One can- not throw things on the quadrangle after re- porting "All right sir." One cannot report and go to the cadet canteen to get things dur- ing unathorized hours. Loitering is military offence.
NOTE :— After a cadet reports, this report holds good until he returns to his room.
2. The report "All right sir" at the in- spection of the first relief means that all occupants of the room are in, or officially absent, and that no one is visiting in the room.
3. At the inspection of the second and third relief, the report meant,' that no one is visiting in the room.
4. When a sentinel reports "All is well", on being relieved, this means that he has reported all cadets, who at any time during his tour of duty, have visited across his poEJfc in so far as he knows ; also that he has re- quired all cadets to report "All right, sir" on coming on his post and has reported all those who failed to do so : also that he has made the required inspections and has re- ported all cadets visiting at those times. In case of the first relief it also means that he has reported all unofficial absentees. In
THE PALMETTO
31
case the lights are off in any room, a sen- tinel is required to turn them on and in- spect the room, to see that no one is visiting there. "All right s«ir" or any deceiving report is* a violation of the honor code.
5. DANCE LEAVE. When a cadet re- ports "All right sir" when returning from a dance ,he signifies that he has complied with the following rules:
a. That he was at the dance at 12 midnight and that he did not thereafter leave the dance except to return to the Citadel or as covered in "b" below.
b. If a cadet has a lady at a dance, he has one hour after the dance breaks up to use as he s'ees fit, or if he leaves before the dance is over, he must report back by the end of general leave, or one hour after he laeves the dance, as the case may be. If the cadet does not have a lady at the dance, he has 15 minutes after the dance is over. He can use this 15 minutes1 to return to bar- racks.
6. A cadet having a car may report on using dance leave "with lady" in order to carry another couple to a dance.
7. A cadet in charge of any detail is honor bound to report for that deatil.
8. Any man receiving a report officially is honor bound to enter the report.
9. rn event of any member of the guard, regardless of the capacity in which he is serving .admitting cadets through any sally- port, he is on his* honor to report the time of the arrival of such cadets.
10. Sentinels shall be on their honor to re- port breaches of the following offenses : _
a. Visiting across sentinel's post.
b. Unable to report on gallery*
32 THE PALMETTO
ft. He shall challenge all cadets coming cm his post at all times and report all disorder.
11. The Officer of the day and Officers of the Guard are on their honor to report all violations of regulations which come under their observation, except in the following case: when an Officer of the Day or Officer of the (tuard goes to his room at any time other than an official inspection, he is not honor bound to report his roommate for a breach of regula- tions committed in their room.
NOTE : The Officer of the Day and Offi- cers of the Guard are on their honor to report any violation of regulations outside of their room which they may see while in their room.
THE ROUND TABLE
Feeling the need of some sort of organiza- tion to take the place of the inactive literary society at the Citadel, a group of cadets, select- ed by the Faculty from the various academic departments on a basis of scholarship, or- ganized The Round Table with the aid of Lt. Lyon. The purpose of this organization as stated in its constitution is to promote an interest in all things intellectual. The new members will be selected towards the end of each year by the Fadulty and club members. The method of programs for the club is dif- ferent from that usually followed by the liter- ary society. In the Round Table each member is notified of the topic for discussion. At the meetings the discussion is lead by one member. After the leader's talk the members enter the discussion. This method permits every mem- ber to take part each week and. since the topics are the foremost of the day, much bene- fit is derived from these discussions.

THE SON
(By Edgar A. Guest)
I am the son of one who dreamed,
And toiled for me and planned and schemed.
But I was such a youngster then, And couldn't read the eyes of men.
I only know he smiled on me
And talked of times that were to be.
He'd feel my muscles, leg and arm, As if for him they held a charm.
And I would laugh and romp and tease And ride away upon his knees.
I could not read the thoughts which he So bravely tried to hide from. me.
Nor grasp the weight of all he told, For I was* only twelve years old.
But now I understand and know I was his hope of long ago.
Those eyes of his looked far to see The grown-up man that I should be.
That counseling I laughed to hear Comes back today with meaning clear.
And now I wonder can it be
That I'm the man he longed to see.

Your deeds considerate, you'll get Smiles from the yhop girl or sotubrette

THE CHURCHES OF OUR CITY.
Cadets, you will find a cordial welcome at any and all churches in the city of Charles- ton. The pastors are anxious to meet you, and don't ever fail to wait after service and speak to a minister. Possibly he knows your folks back at home and has received a letter from them asking his prayers and guidance in your behalf while you remain at The Cita- del.
Before we moved out here, there was an opportunity given each cadet to join any church he wished, and these groups were marched to the respective churches on Sun- days. However, it's a good ways to town now, and it has been necessary to have regular chapel services out here, to which every one must attend, then you are priviliged to attend the church of your choice. Chapel is held very early for this purpose, and it will be fine if you will let the Secretary affiliate you with a local church, which means that your mem- bership is not affected at home, but yolu are just anchored, as it were, to a local church whose pastor will take as much interest in you as possible.
The churches of Charleston are numbered amongst the oldest in America, and it will not be amiss if you take several hours off and look them over. Be sure to go to chJurch
every Sunday 1

THE PALMBTCTO FOOTBALL.
45
During the past fall The Citadel possessed what Coach Carl Prause called, "The best j football team I have ever coached 1" And that is saying considerable, for the tall mentor has* turned out many wonderful gridiron out- fits.
In 1927 ,the Bull Dogs faced probably the most difficult schedule that ever confronted a Blue and White team, and the record that was made, though not as brilliant as the memorable season of 1926, showed very credi- table results. Of the ten games on the card, 3 were won, 6 lost by very slim margins, and one ended in a tie.
The first three games were played in as many states. The Citadel opened the season by losing to Davidson College, in Gastonia, N. C. 5 — 0. The next week, most of the Cadet Corps accompaneid the team to Savannah, and though Citadel made many more first downy than Mercer, 'Phony' Smith, Bear half-back, made the only touchdown. The following Sat- urday Citadel lost to the powerful University of Chattanooga eleven in the Tennessee city. Then, the Bull Dogs defeated the Oglethorpe Petrels, 19 — 0, in the initial contest in Char- leston, when the new athletic stadium was dedicated in honor of General Johnson Hagood. The Newberry Indians fell 27 — 0 the next week, On the annual pilgrimage The Citadel makes to Orangeburg, to play the University of South Carolina, the Gamecocks though com- pletely outplayed, lucked a long pass for a touchdown and won 6 — 0, completely upset-

ting the dope. Clemson came to Charleston next, and downed the fighting Bull Dogs, 13 — 0 displaying a very powerful offense. Wofford and The Citadel battled to a 6 — 6 tie, although the Cadets made double their opponents first downs*. On Home-Coming Day, the Cadets played their best game of the season and out-fought Furman all the way, only to lose, 6 — 0, when Blount . dashed 50 yards for a touchdown. The Citadel ended the yaer by triumphing over P. C, 7 — 6, on Thanksgiving Day in Charleston.
Outstanding among the many who received block "C's" were: Capt. Don Blanding, Teddy Hutchinson, Lionel Ingram, Dick Brown, Gene Figg, Tom Howie and Heinie Duvall. Bull King, tackle, and Dick King end, (Captain-elect for 1928), were selected on the mythical "All-State" team. Others* who won letters include Wilson, Reeder, Fer- guson, Thompson, Wideman, Sinkler, Harris Armstrong, Willard, Arnold, Brandenburg, and Manager Bell.
Many of the men graduated last June, but with the good material from, the Freshman team which won handily from P. C. and Newberry, tied Benedictine College, and lost to Carolina and Furman a neraly new outfit is to represent The Citadel on the gridiron this year. A very extensive and intensive spring practice proved quite successful, and it hoped The Citadel will finish on top in 1928. Go get 'em, Bucks I !
You can't be a howling success by simply howling.

BASKETBALL— 1928.
The Citadel enjoyed a very successful bas- ketball season last year, losing only to Merrer, Furman, Carolina and to Birmigham-South- ern, by a one-point margin, in Chattanooga, at the 4th annual S. I. A. A. Tournament. The Bull Dogs were not defeated during the season in Charletson and won most of the games by substantial margins.
The Citadel started off the schedule in true championship style, winning the first three contests, one a decisive triumph over the Caro- lina Gamecocks, 47 — 28. The Quint journeyed into Georgia and lost to Mercer University in two hard fought games. The next week-end the Blue and White downed Oglethorpe and and the following night defeated Furman, in a thrilling extra period affair, 42 — 41, which reminded every one of the Mercer game in the finals of the S. I. A. A. Tournament which the Cadets won in 1927.
The Bull Dogs? won consecutively from, P. C, Newberry, and Davidson in Alumni Hall. On the annual up-state trip the Cadet cagemen lost to Carolina and Furman, but won from Wofford, P. C. and Newberry easily.
The last games at home were briliant con- tests, in which the Blue and White defeated Wofford and the College of Charleston. The Citadel thus won the privilege of entering the S. I. A. A. Tourney, with Furman, as South Carolina's representatives', and for the first time was not one of the teams participating in the finals. But, a team canot be expected to win always, and unfortunately, the Bull Dogs, defending Champs, lost to the Alabama institution by one-point, the same margin by which they won the Title in 1927.
48
THE PALMETTO
The Citadel made a total of 745 points in 18 games, for an average of 41 points* per game. The highest team score was 69 points tallied against Wofford. "Whiskey" Johnson was individual high-scorer with a total of 252 markers. Weeks, Reeder, and Willard all made over 125 each.
Capt. Gene Figg was a power of defence at guard, but, unfortunately was pursued with injuries, being unable to play in several games, but Epps, who took his place, did excellent work. Johnson, Reeder, Weeks, and Willard formed one o fthe fastest passing crews ever to wear the Blue and White cage uniform. They all deserve worlds of credit for their wonderful playing. The other men who re- ceived letters, Dwight, Tiedemann, Daniel, and Armstrong, all showed great ability, and put up good exhibitions when they got in the game. Coach Benny Blatt turned out a truly great team.
Billy Willard, of Spartanburg, flashy run- ning guard, is Capt.-elect, and as only Figg, Reeder, and Armstrong graduate in 1928, and Bedell, Vandiver, Ewing, Rogers*, Brown, Chapman, Ellerbe, and Averb-uck of the fresh- man team will be available, prospects are fine for 1929.
* * * *
They can succeed who believe they can.
This above all — to thine own s«elf be true ; And it must follow the night the day, Thou cans't not then be false to any man.
THE PALMETTO BASEBALL.
49
The Citadel baseball team experienced the most unsuccessful season in many years in the spring of 1928 from a standpoint of games won. The Cadet diamond dusters just ccrfuld not "get going" together, and this spasmodic display of talent at times, coupled with a weak pitching staff, was the cause of the de- feats. The Bull Dogs won the first game of the season, then lost all the remainder on the schedule.
On March 30, Coach Matthews outfit handily downed P. C, on the local diamond, 8 to 4. The following wek-end they started losing, being victims of the Marines at Parris Island twice, and Newberry before returning to Char- leston, where another contest was dropped to Clemson. Furman won easily the next Sat- urday1. The Bfcill Dogs lost to Wofford twice, Carolina, Furman, Erskine, and P. C. on the second excursion away from home. Then they lost the final game in Charleston to New- berry ,to end an unglorious and disastrous season.
The letter men were Tom Howie, diminutive shortstpo and Captain ; Duncan, Hutchison, Murphy, infielders ; Read, Parler, Newton, SJuber, Barnes, outfielders ; Boylston, Crow, catchers: Griffin, Livingston, Wilson, pitch- ers.
GOLF.
Though there is no regular golf course laid out on the campus, many enthusiasts of the elub game play nearly every afternoon upon an improvised course. The Citadel has not had
golf team since Francis Ford won the In- tercollegiate honor of this district, several years ago, when he was a Cadet. However, though the authorities might not approve, quite a nice little six or seven hole golf course
50 THE PALMETTO
could be laid out conveniently on the college grounds. There are quite a number of cadets who play often, and would no doubt be in favor of making a small permanent course on The Citadel grounds, which wcHuld increase the interest in this sport a great deal.
VOLLEY BALL.
The three volley ball courts which were con- structed behind the Murray Barracks building have seen constant service. The Citadel "Y" built and maintains them for the use of the Cadets. Many a spirited and thrilling contest is played out there each afternoon. Mostly the boys' that do not go out for the major sports are participants in these games. It affords plenty of healthful outdoor exercise, and is a popular pastime with a large num- ber of the Corps.
TRACK.
In reecnt years there has been at The Citadel an almost shameful lack of interest and mate- rial for any track activities, but prospects1 for this year's aquad appear very promising. Dan Sinkler was elected Captain and practices on the newly laid out cinder path at Johnson Ha good Stadium were indulged in every after- noon by the men under the instruction of Coach Bar field. Several dual meets have been scheduled with state institutions, and a team will most probably be sent to the annual meet at Clinton, but we go ot preas too soon to print the results, although it is felt that the Cadet Track Team will account for itself in a very creditable manner.

SWIMMING.
The Citadel's prospects for a championship tank team appeared excellent in the spring of 1928, and much interest in this sport was dis- played by the Cadets. A scjuad of rare ability was rounded into fine condition by Coach Julius Anderson, and negotiations were at- tempted to arrange meets with various insti- tutions in the Carolinas and Georgia.
The first meet of the marine season was with the Cadets of the Schoolship "Anna- polis", of Pennsylvania, who were outclassed by the Bull Dogs, and defeated by the score of 47 to 18. The Cadet Swimmers next invaded the "Peach" state and encountered Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The Blue and White was downed, but not drowned, and made a fine showing against Tech's great team. The Cadets won several first and second places, but not enough to win. The score was 42 to 21. The U. S. S. Arkansas, Champs of the Atlantic Fleet met the Bull Dogs next in Charleston and were decisively whipped, 43 to 12. The Cadets were at almost top, form, and iost only one first place to the Sailors.
So far the swimming of Scofield has at- tracted a great deal of favorable comment. This boy tied the Southern record for the backstroke in Atlanta, and does the 100yd. free style in fast time too. Lionel Ingram was Captain last year and did diving and the breaststroke. John Bull swam the 220 and 440 well, as did Whitsett. Bill Jones and Garwees swam the 100 free style. Sherfeesee did the back and breast strokes. Siau and Htelfreich did 50 and diving. Skelton swam the 220 and relay. Others in the relay were Siau, Helfreich, and Jones or Scofield. The entire squad with the exception of Ingram will be back in 1929.

TENNIS.
Tennis at The Citadel was a very popular sport last year, and is indulged in by many cadets all the year. The coiurts on the campus are crowded to capacity every afternoon, and it is hoped that in the near future aditionai courts can be constructed to accommodate the increased number of the corps who play ten- nis.
The Bull Dog Net Team made very creditable showings in tneir matches locally and also up- state. The season opened with the Cadets de- feating the U. S. S. Arkansas, then the Col- lege of Charletson on the City "Y" courts. They lost to the experienced Carolina Yaoht Cjjub outfit on their courts, but soon after met Wofford at the Country Club and tied the Methodists by beautiful playing.
On the trip through the state, the Cadets were nosed out in close matches with Carolina and Furman, losing both 4 to 2. They de- cisively cJbwned Clemson and Newberry, and | tied P. C. before returning to Charleston.
The Blue and White team leaves for Colum- bia as this book goes to press, to enter the tdurnament to decide the State Collegiate Championships. Several other dual meets are scheduled to be played in Charleston later in the season.
Frank Porter was Citadel's No. 1 man, fol- lowed by Abie Steele, Dave Dwight, and Jack Nettles. Porter — Dwight and Kerr — Nettles were the doubles pairs. Porter, Dwight, and Nettles did well in the singles, while Captain Kerr and Nettles won most of the doubles matches. The latter lost only one match all season.
54 THE PALMETTO
COLLEGE NIGHT.
Each year one night is set aside for the general enjoyment of every member of the corps. This night is called "college night", and it comes shortly after the beginning of the school year. At this time the messhall is bedecked in a beautiful dress of blue and white, and the tables are covered with deli- cious food prepared under the direction of Mis. Avinger.
The affair is attended by many Alumni and by some members of the Board of Visitors and the coaching staff. Speeches are made by Colonel Bond, by the various coaches, the cap- tains of the athletic teams, the editors of the Sphinx and Bull Dog, and by some members of the faculty, and alumni. Each speaker cites the prospects that The Citadel has in his line of endeavor.
Then, too, the freshmen learn what it meanB to be a Citadel man. They realize that the far-famed 'Bull Dog" spirit of which they have heard so much, is not merely a myth, but a wonderful reality. Upon leaving the messhall every "rat" feels himself to be more acquainted with the school and its inner work- j ings. He finds that he has become thoroughly imbued with a school spirit that will count for much in his college and later life. That spirit will never die, for the slogan "Once a Citadel j man, always a Citadel man " will forever | sustain it.
FENCING.
Fencing was a new sport introduced into the many activites at The Citadel in 1927-28. The majority of the Corps did not take much ' interest in it, probably because they were not familiar with it and knew little about it. However Professor Gillardo and Major Mc-
THE PALMETTO
65
Elwee coached several as«pirmg foil artists along and eveloped among them some very good fencers.
A Fencing Club was formed, consisting of about thirty members, and McCarthy and Ward wer elected President and Secretary - Treasurer. By virtue of elimination contests a team was selected to represent The Citadel in matches with other colleges. This team was compsoed of McCarhty, Captain ; Ward, J.» Manager, and McHugh, Powell, Clare. The Southern Fencing Tourney, held in Charleston last year was very interesting. McHugh won second place in individual title matches. The team lo&t to the College of Charleston and Carolina by close scores.
INDOOR BASEBALL TOURNAMENT.
Tn the spring of 1927, The Citadel "Y" in- augurated the annual "Indoor" Baseball Tour- nament, which has proved exceeding popular with the Corps* in the last two years.. The games are played out of doors, however, on four regulation sized diamonds, but with an indoor ball, and without gloves.
The Regimental Championship in 1927 was won by the Band's team, which defeated Co. "C" in the finals. Co. "C" won the 1928 title, beating out Co. "D" in the finals.
The Regiment is divided into two Leagues, the Artillery, consisting of the Band and Com- panies "E", "F*V 'G", and "H", and the In- fantry composed of the Staff and Companies "A", *B", "C", and "D". Each taem en- counters every other team in its circuit at least once, and then the two winning nines play for the "Y" Pennant.
The contests are usually well played and are featured by heavy hitting by both sides. The pastime is very popular and is good sport and exercise, too.

"PASS - IN - REVIEW"
During* the spring of every year, the Char- leston Citadel Club presents a show, in which those members' of the Cadets Corps who have proper talent and theatrical aspirations, com- pose the cast of performers. The 1928 "Pass- In-Review" was financially successful and much enjoyed by the large audiences that saw the production in Charleston, Conway, Flor- ence, Columbia, Mullins, and Anderson.
Last year the show was given in two parts. The first part, based upon a "Radioland" theme included some special arangemnts of popular music, both '"hot" and '"sweet"" by the '"Citadel Bull Dogs" orchestra, a perfectly executed Silent Drill, some Original mono- logue comedy, close harmony by the Blue and White Quartet, excellent piano solos, and a variety of clog dancing steps by Fred Knob- lauch and Ed. Haselden. The last half was a military minstrel circle, featuring many popu- lar songs, and mirthful jokes by the black- faced endmen, which went well. The' personel of the show was as follows: Minstrel — Frank Tompkins, interlocutor. Perrin Smith, Tom Stevenson, Nap Vandiver, Osmond Brown, and John Carrington, sweet singers ; George Nel- son, whistler ; Ed. Haselden, Jim Calhoun, Shorty O'Neal, Charlie Johnson, and "Red" — Carter and Brandenburg. Bill Carlisle played the piano accompaniments and solos. The quartet included Jim Calhoun, Roy Hart, Clyde McWhiter, and Bob Goodwin. The Silent Drill, commanded by Jenx Harris, was picked from the rest* of the cast. Those in Cliff Mc- Clure's Bull Dogs, led by Reo O'Brien, were Pete Kershaw, John Bull, Werky Harell, Fin- kelstein, Youmans, McWhirter, Wallace, Good- win, and Brown.
The production was directde by J. E. De- Rain and managed by Chas. Jervey.

ORCHESTRAL
La&t vear The Citadel had the best orchestra it has boasted in several years. Under the able direction of Cliff McClure, "The Citadel Bull Dogs" Orchestra devleoped into an or- ganization that* compared most favorably with any in the state. The crew consisted of ten very competent musicians, who furnished always' an excellent brand of dance music, both "hot" and "sweet" numbers.
The "Bull Dogs" played for all the Messhall Dances, two of which were held each month, and most of the dnaces given by the Alumni Association, Charleston Citadel Club, and the "Sphinx". Their interpretations fo the popu- lar hits and fecial arangements of certain numbers met with much approval, and was pleasing to the dancers* always. Often Reo O'Brien would ascend to the platform ' and direct the orchestra, continualy causing the crowd that stopped dancing to watch plenty of amusement, at his corneal antics, which were ludricrous' to behold.
The personal of "The Citadel Bull Dogs" last year was as follows: Cliff McClure, director, trumpet, Pete Kershaw, manger, piano ; Clyde McWhirter, music arranger, bass ; Lewis You- mans, trombone. John Bull, reeds Werky Harrell, reeds ; Lester Finklestein, reeds ; Bob Goodwin, banjo ; Rufus Brown, drums ; John Wallace, trumpet. They all will return to play again this year, and should be better than ever.
CITADEL INFLUENCE
Occasionally when a group of people are confined into a sort of family group as at the Citadel, some members of the group are likely to get the impression that the otatsride world is unaware of its existence. The corps should never allow this idea to take hold of them. At
68 THE PALMETTO
all times they should act as though they were passing in review before the eyes of the world The influence of the Citadel is known to be wide, but last year this influence unexpectedly was felt at the University of Florida. The commandant of that school, being at the Citadel with Fourth Corps Area officers, was impressed by the exceptional military bearing of an orderly whom the commandant called to his office and by the military system of the Citadel in general. Last year the commandant of the Florida institution sent the nine ranking men from his school to observe the Citadel system. These men stayed here several days and returned with a good knowledge of the Citadel system. Always be at a perfect eyes right because you are continually passing in review before the eyes of the world.

THE SPHINX
The Citadel is always proud of The Sphinx. And rightly have we reason to be proud of such a work as the staff of The Sphinx always turns out. The most capable men in the senior class are always in charge of the pub- lishing of this book, and many are the hours of sleep and hard work that they sacrifice to make each publication just a little more per- fect than the one before it. All phases of the college work and the life of a cadet are pre- sented in a most atrtactive way in this book, and always there is much impatience towards? the end of each school year to see the new School Annual.

THE LIBRARY
A library is a necessary part of every col- lege. It is the final resort for all those who really seek knowledge on some specific subject or branch of work. We come to college to get a foundation in many different subjects on which to bfciild and to learn just where we can secure further information on any subject in which we become interested. We find that the library is the one place that can tell us any- thing and everything, and that the secret of education lies in the ability to use the contents' of a good library to the best advantage.
The Citadel library is located on the ground floor in the front part of the Main Barracks. In it are found works of all kinds, history, science, classics ; in general, sufficient in- formation on any subject which one needs to be call well educated and cultured. Besides there are also found the most important news- papers, magazines, and other periodic publica- tions* of current events and everyday happen- ings. Good fiction and other recreational read- ings are also fo'und. You will spend a good part of your college life in the librray, so learn how to us<e it and get the utmost from It.
THE BULL DOG
Every college has its periodic publication by the student body. The Bull Dog is The Citadel newspaper and is published by a staff, com- posed of men who are interested in such work, every Friday. Tn it are all accounts of col- lege athletics, campus events, dances, alumni news, editorials expressing school sentiment, in general everything that is of interest to college mon. Every cadet gets a copy and the paper has a wide circulation through the state as well as outside.

OUR MILITARY RECORD
The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, although at first established as a depositary for arms and munitions of war, is now a college that ranks' high in both its military and academic lines of instruction. While the academic duties of the cadets have been of first importance since the institution has become a college, it has a military record of which it, or any other institution, may well be proud. Since the establishment of the col- lege in 1842, the Citadel alumni and cadets* have played prominent parts in the history of the state, and indeed in some cases, im- portant parts in the history of the nation. Their services were invaluable to their state in that deadly struggle, the "War Between the States ; and invaluable to the nation in the latter and fiercer conflict. The World War. The lk't of Citadel officers in both of these wars is an honor-roll of which any institution of in- struction, and any state, should be proud. Citadel men have fought for the state on the field of battle, they have fought for the state in time of peace, and they are still fighting and will continue to fight with all their might for the good of the state and nation.
The training which the cadets receive has met the heartiest commendation of the War Department, which has for many years rated the institution as a "Distinguished College." The value of the training to the country is recognized by the government, which fur- nishes expensive equipment and details com- petent army officers for the instruction of the Cadets in the Infantry and Artillery Units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Tho

worth of this instruction in the duties of the soldier, the science of war, the evolution of the line, and the duties of commissioned offi- cers, is shown by the actions of the men in actual combat.
The complete and generous education which the cadets receive at the Citadel fits them to perform skillfully and justly all the of- fices of a citizen, both private and public, in time of peace and in time of war. The regular habits, the attention to duty, the obe- dience to authority, and the love of order instilled into the cadets enable them to live lives of value and worth to mankind. The Citadel releases men into the world who are proud of their Alma Mater, and the Citadel has certainly had every reason to be proud of its alumni.
"STAR OF THE WEST" MEDAL
Each year the Corps of Cadets holds a competitive drill in the manual of arms for the "Star of the West" Medal, a handsome trophy presented to the institution many years ago by Dr. B. H. Teague, a veteran of the Civil War. This medal gets its name from a piece of wood, in the shape of a star, taken from the historic vessel of the same name. To wear this medal is an honor indeed.
THE "WILLSON RING"
This ring, given each year by Dr. John O. Willson, late president of Lander College, is awarded to the member of the Senior Class voted by his classmates "the purest, most courteous, and most manly" cadet in his class.
This is a coveted honor.

MORALE
By Dr. Frank Crane
Morale is a military term. It means the spirit or general feeling of the troops. When soldiers are all united in purpose and enthusi- astic and determined, they can easily conquer disheartened foes. Morale is just as necessary in a business as in an army. When we all love our work, are enthusiastic about the busi- ness, are not jealous and contentions and work cheerfully together, we can accomplish great results.

If all my pain.
And all my tears, And all that I have learnt
Through all the years, Could make one single perfect song
To right some wrong ; To lift some fallen haed
To light some darkened mind, I shokild feel that not in vain
I served mankind.
If all my Joys,
And all my laughter, Could give one single soul
Faith in hereafter. If all the radiant things I see
Known but to me, Could give a half-life strength,
Lend sight to stricken eyes, I should know I helped the world
Glimpse Paradise.

MYSELF.
I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know ; I want to be able as the days go by* Always to look myself straight in the eye I don't want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for the things I've done,
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as I come and go
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of a man I really am ;
I don't want to dress myself tap in sham.
I want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve all men's respect.
But in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to think as I come and go
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me, I see what others may never see. , I know what others may never know I never can fool myself, and so Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting adn conscious free.

MOTHER O' MINE
If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' mine, O' mother o' mine!
I know whose love would follow me still* Mother o' mine, O* mother o' mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o' mine, O' mother o* mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me, Mother o' mine, O' mother o' mine !
If I were damned of body and soul, Mother o' mine, O* mother o' mine!
I know who&'e prayers would make me whole, Mother o' mine, O* mother o' mine!
— Rudyard Kipling.
THE JOY OF LIVING.
If nobody smiled, and nobody cheered, and
nobody helped us along — If each, every minute looked after himself, and
the good things all went to the strong?— If nobody cared, just a little for you, and
nobody cared for me, And we all stood alone, in the battle of life,
what a dreary old world it wduld be.
