Wentworth Academy Year Ends With Drills and Honors
Wentworth closes with a dramatic sham battle across a ravine and a crossing repair. Cadets perform drills, a hospital squad clears the field with imitation blood, and a traitor is shot as spectators cheer. The annual entertainment features His Sister Jane and a strong senior class cast. Graduating exercises award diplomas, scholarships, and medals as Major Hickman departs for service.
