Etiquette Meal

This is not a picture of Michael; however, every new cadet goes through an "etiquette meal". Here a new cadet properly passes and holds a platter to another fellow cadet during the dining etiquette class in the Black, Gray and Gold Room in the Mess Hall. New Cadets learn the American and Continental styles of eating, proper use of utensils, appropriate dinner conversation, mealtime manners, and courtesy at the table. This is part of the "Social Dimension" of leader development at West Point.
