The Mark I Drill Platoon awaits LSU competition.
Withstanding a shaky start which unfortunately saw command fall
on three diffe
fallon
rent midshipmen, the Mark I Drill Team, under the eventual leadership of sophomore
Midn
Midn. Lt. Ronald J. Seelman,
Beelman, gained experience and maturity which should prove valuable in the near future to its predominantly freshman and sophomore members. A
creditable showing at the Southern Invitational Drill Meet
Me t held at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and a strong second in the Annual Scabbard and Blade Competition, give the Team something to, be proud of, yet provide an even higher goal for
next
ne t year.
Once again the Navy Drum and Bugle Corps proved its superiority by defeating
the Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps and the Army Band in the Annual Scabbard and
Blade Competition. Commanded by Midn. Lt
Lt. John B Jinks with Midn. Ensign James J.
Porter serving as Drum Major, the "D&B" also received at that same drill meet the Harry
Mendelson,
Mendelson l Jr. Memoral Trophy, presented for outstanding mustcal
mUSical and marching ability.
In addition, the Drum and Bugle Corps participated in a number of Mardi Gras
parades and acted as escorts and performers in the New Orleans Charity Horse Show.
