Dgtrlet tlayh Weed (By SHEILA MCFADDEN) Wednesday, May 25, the annual Cadet inspection, which is sup- posed to be quite an event, will be held at 2:00 p.m. at the Lipns Park. Now whether it turns but successfully or otherwise will de- pend entirely on. the `weather, both before the inspection and the clay of the inspection.

Oh, well, maybe we can satisfy the man we have to! The night of the annual cadet inspection the high school gym will be filled with boys in uni- forms and girls in—. Wilbee's orchestra will provide music for dancing from 8:30 to 12. Admis- sion is the usual 50c a person and 75c a couple; extra 'to anyone out of uniform.
