8. The Members of the First Class, between REVEILLE and RETREAT, will
be permitted to have the limits of the Plain, included within the Main
Road, passing in rear of Camp, in front of the Hotel Yard, the
Quarters of the Superintendent, the Barracks, and the Library. Cadets
can visit the Library during Library hours, but the Barracks and the
confectioner's can be visited only by special permission.
9. The permission to walk on Public Lands on Saturday afternoons,
granted to Cadets in Barracks, is withdrawn.
10. Cadets will be allowed to bathe at or near Gee's Point, between
Reveille and Breakfast, and between Retreat and Tattoo. Cadets wishing
to bathe, will be formed in the company Parade Ground, and be marched
to and from the place of bathing, by the Senior Non-commissioned
Officer present. The members of the Old Guard, during the morning
after marching off, will be permitted to walk on Public Lands until 1
o'clock, and bathe at Washington's Valley during the same time, except
on Sundays, when they will be excused from Divine Service.
11. All Cadets, except Officers of the First Class, will pass in and
out of Camp by crossing Post No. 1, reporting their departure and
return to the Officer of the Guard, who will keep a correct list of
the same, and note the time. Cadets will visit the Commissary's only
between the hours of 8-1/2 and 9-1/2 A.M., and 1-1/2 and 3 P.M., and
the Confectioner's between 1 and 4 P.M.
12. Permission to walk on Public Lands, does not include the
Commissary store out of hours, the Hotel, the Hospital, Wharfs, public
or private buildings, or any other place on the Point, forbidden by
Regulations.
13. At Taps, all lights will be extinguished in Camp, except those in
Tents of Officers of the First Class, of the 1st Sergeants, and the
Officers and Sergeant of the Guard.
14. Immediately after Taps, the company Officers will inspect their
companies, and see that all Cadets are properly undressed and in bed;
they will remain in their company grounds long enough to insure
quietness and order in their companies, and will report all Cadets who
leave their Tents for any purpose whatever.
15. Visiting in Camp after Taps is prohibited, and the Officers in the
performance of their duty will confine themselves to the limits of
their company grounds.
16. The Officer of the Guard will allow no Cadet, except members of
his guard, to pace the Posts of Nos. 2 and 6 after Taps, except by
permission of the Commanding Officer, or the Officer in charge; and he
will, at all times, preserve proper order and quiet at the Guard
Tents.
