Abstract
In the Spring of 1963, Bill Carr, then a Thirdclassman, formed an Indoctrination Committee to document and implement a standardized approach for the Swabs of the class of 1967 in an attempt to improve upon the indoctrination his Class of 1965 had recieved. Two classmates from each of the six companies plus several other classmates participated through that summer of 1963 on through Christmas leave and the last regimental rework in 1964.
SECTION ONE is a digitized copy of the retyped original mimeographed booklet published and distributed to all classmates. The original source document is on file on the shelves of the Academy Special Collections Library.
SECTION TWO consists of six pages and several photographs of the Purge and Welcome Party just before that 1963 Christmas Leave.
Upon return to the Academy for the new year of 1964, classmate Russ Hebert took over the Presidency and had the foresight to ask for and recieve feedabck form each of the 1965, 1964 and 1963 classes (SECTION THREE) regarding how well that indoctrination year had gone along with suggestions for improvement and changes for the incoming new class of 1968.
SECTION FOUR is a composite indexing of the Running Light (61-62) and the Indoctrination Committee Handbook (63-64) rearranged according to 39 Prmiary Leadership Principles (PLPs) as detailed on the reverse of this page. This composite has been entitled "Cadet Leadership" as it is a reflection of the leadership training afforded the very junior incoming class (1967) by the Class of 1965 as a result of their responsibilities of providing that indoctrination and training.
