I remember the first thing he said on the first day of class. "Did all of you get into Central through regular channels? If you got into Central through some special program, then you need to tell your counselor that you'll have to transfer out of my class. You won't be able to compete in my class if you didn't meet the standard entrance requirements for this school."
I wonder if fellow student, Elliott Feldman can remember the first day in Mr. Cades' class. Mr. Cades handed out copies of Rudyard Kipling's book Captains Courageous. Feldman sat next to me throughout the school year.
Feldman and Michael Shapiro, M.D. were the only students in the class to receive a grade of A throughout the school year. I earned C's throughout the school year. But then, I was a premorbid psychotic.

James Kahn, the 230th class representative, was in Mr. Cades' class.
Mr. Cades died in 1986 at age 83.
I believe I learned more in Mr. Cades' English class than in any other English class at Central.
