Caption: Cadet Life Garden - Discipline
Additional Description: Freshmen were assigned to upperclassmen to serve as orderlies throughout their first year. This daily service included cleaning rooms, making beds, and running errands of all kinds. Inadequate attention to these duties resulted in discipline - usually, as here, administered with a broom or paddle. Occasionally all the "rats" on a company hall would undergo mass disciple - events called "pep meetings" - by upperclassmen armed with paddles, coat hangers and those dreaded long-handled brooms.
