Year: 1997

Summary

The Cadet Room Exhibition project seeks to preserve the unique character of the typical 1930s aviation cadet room at Randolph Air Force Base. Since "the construction of Randolph Air Force Base in the 1930s, thousands of air cadets have passed through these well-designed dormitory rooms on their way to serve as Army Air Corps and Air Force officers. Former cadets who return to Randolph recall their experiences at Randolph and remember their rooms. The changing military mission has necessitated the reuse of facilities to the extent that-most of the remaining cadet rooms have been adapted to other uses. The Cadet Room Exhibition will serve as a remembrance of cadet life at Randolph and a tool to educate the public about how the cadets lived during the 1930s.
