HOLIDAY WREATH DECORATING Cadets gathered in the Social Center on Friday, December 12 to show their creative side in the Holiday Wreath Decorating Activity. The cadets were provided 30� wreaths, bows, ribbons, a large assortment of ornaments, decorations and candy canes. Everyone was impressed with the wreaths that the cadets decorated within one hour. Of course, this was also a corps competition between the companies. BRAVO Company finished in first place, CHARLIE Company followed very close in second place, and DELTA Company came in third place.
