Caption: Cadet Life Garden - Mess Hall
Additional Description: For many years the huge mess hall on the bottom floor of 1st Barracks accommodated the entire Cadet Corps at a single seating. Cadets marched to meals and took their assigned seating. Cadets marched to meals and took their assigned seats by Companies. The table arrangement usually involved a senior cadet officer at the head, a junior officer at the foot, and four cadets on each of the two sides. It was only after the orders of the day were read and the meal was blessed that paid cadet waiters served the food family style.
