Main Street, West Lafayette, Indiana �Since the close of World War II and that inactive period for Scabbard and Blade, our National Society has continued to grow steadily. No let up appears in sight. The 1953-54 school year was closed out with the admission of the 127th and 128th companies-H-11 at Northeastern University in Boston and I-ll at Loyola College in Baltimore-and additional installations were scheduled for early fall. The latter included K-11 at Niagara University and L-11 at Wake Forest College. Company H, 11th Regiment, at Northeastern University in Boston, Mass., was installed May 1, 1954, by Inspector Walter M. Snyder of the III Corps Area. His authority was Special Order No. 6, dated 20 April 1954. Upon arrival at Northeastern, Inspector Snyder was met by Captain Frederick H. Griswold of the military department. He then inspected the department with Colonel Murray D. Harris, PMS&T, Major Mark T. Muller, and Captain Griswold, followed by a tour of the campus with the Colonel. An interview with Dr. William C. White, vice-president, impressed Inspector Snyder with "the extreme amount of cooperation and high degree of comradeship between the educational administration and the military at Northeastern." The installation of H-11 took place at 2 p.m. Assisting the CAl were :five members of G-5 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They were E. Dale Strait, G-5 captain, Paul Vasques, James T. Duguay, Eugene M. Romer, and Rolf Kates. Eighty men were installed, making about the largest group ever to be taken into Scabbard and Blade at one time. Ten other members were to be initiated later as charter members. New officers elected following the installation ceremonies were George E. Stephens, captain; Stephen Clark, :first lieutenant; Angelo Spinelli, second lieutenant; and Walter Rose, first lieutenant. Inspector Snyder reports: "All indications pointed toward a most successful company under the able leadership of the above elected men. Their treasury already is over the $1,000 mark." That evening at 7 o'clock the installation banquet was held at Warmuth's Restaurant in Boston. (See photos.) More than 120 men were present, including the installing officer, the complete military staff of the ROTC department, 15 members of G-5 at M.I.T., and the new members of H-11 INSTALLATION CEREMONIES.

Fennell, assistant director of admissions and secretary to the faculty; Prof. Frederick R. Henderson, executive assistant to the vice-president and associate professor of industrial engineering; Prof. R. L. Woolridge, director, department of cooperative work; and Prof. Herbert W. Gallager, director of physical education. From his talk with Colonel Harris, Inspector Snyder learned that military training at Northeastern is divided into two divisions, A and B, which never meet at the same time for training. Since the school is a cooperative institution half of the students are out in industry while the others are in school. Thus every lesson is taught twice. The men work in the field ten weeks and spend ten weeks in classes. School lasts five years, instead of the regular four, with the classes listed as freshman, sophomore, middler, junior, and senior. Colonel Harris was most impressed with the role that Scabbard and Blade plays on campus and plans to pick all of his senior cadet officers strictly from the ranks of the Society, according to the installing officer's report. He and his staff have shown the utmost consideration for H-11. The petitioning group at Northeastern was the ROTC Cadet Officers Society, which was founded in the fall of 1952 with the initial purpose of sponsoring the annual Military Ball, first held February 13, 1953. The second ball was held February 12, 1954. In the spring of 1953, the society decided to apply for membership in Scabbard and Blade. Membership has included almost one third of the advanced course ROTC students. The Army ROTC was introduced at Northeastern in April, 1951, as a voluntary course. Signal Corps and Corps of Engineer branches were established with Colonel Howard E. Price, Sig C, as the first PMS&T. The military staff now totals 26 with three members of the University staff assigned for administrative duties. Extra-curricular activities of the ROTC unit include the band, Pershing Rifle company, rifle team, and military amateur radio progral)l (MARS) . Of the total male enrollment of 3,769 in November, 1953, 1,292 were in ROTC. This included 1,004 in the basic course and 288 in the advanced course. Colonel Harris, the PMS&T, is a graduate of Lehigh University where he became a member of H-3. He was em- played by the Bell Telephone Company of New York from 1927-1940 when he entered active duty as a captain of Infantry. He was transferred to the Signal Corps in 1942, served in the ETO as executive officer to the Theater Signal Officer, was commanding officer of Camp Crowder, Mo., 1945-46, deputy commanding officer of the Baltimore Signal Depot, attended the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, and from 1950-53 was inspector general of the Bremerhaven, Germany, Port of Embarkation. His awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, Commendation Ribbon and Reconnaissance Medal (France). Other members of the military department staff include Lt. Col. Ammon N. Hartman, CE, a graduate of Pennsylvania State College; Major Muller, a graduate of Cornell University and an honorary member of Scabbard and Blade; and Captain Griswold, Sig C, also a graduate of Cornell. Pursuant to Special Order No. 8, dated 17 May 1954, Inspector Walter M. Snyder, III Corps Area installed Company I, 11th Regiment, at Loyola College in Baltimore, Md., on May 22, 1954. He was assisted by an installing team from I-3 at the University of Maryland, College Park. Upon arrival at Loyola, Inspector Snyder met with the PMS&T, Colonel Vandervort, at 11 a.m. for briefing and a tour of the military facilities. At noon they joined the president, Father Thomas S. Murray, S.J., and the dean of men, Father Robert P. Arthur, S.J., and Cadet George N. Lewis for luncheon. A tour of the campus and a talk with Father Murray preceded the installation at 1: 30 p.m. Members of the installing team from I-3 were Arthur Weiner, captain; Phillip Kearney, first lieutenant; Dale H. Jackson, second lieutenant; and Richard Jansson, first sergeant. Colonel Vandervort also assisted. Elected officers of the new company were George N. Lewis, captain; William J. Schmidt, first l~eutenant; Matthew C. Butte, second lieutenant; and William R. Taymans, first sergeant. Following the regular installation ceremonies and election, Lt. Col. Woodrow W. Jordon, Armored, and Captain Loren S. Patterson, Infantry, w~r~ initiated a~ as- �4 THE JOURNAL I-ll at Loyola College, Baltimore. sociate members. Inspector Snyder then met with the newly elected officers and discuss ed plans, projects, and procedures. The installation team plus several members of I-3 attended a banquet held that evening at Loyola for the presentation of sports awards. Several of the new members of I-ll received letters. The ROTC program at Loyola was instituted at the beginning of the 1952-53 academic year. This college was one of the group selected to try out the new ROTC concept of Branch General Training. Two officers and three enlisted men were assigned that first year, and the cadet corps was organized as a provisional battalion with two companies of three platoons each. The basic course is required while the advanced course is elective and selective. Of the total male enrollment of 526 students, 197 were enrolled in ROTC last year. The junior and senior classes, of course, were ineligible. The petitioning group was made up of qualified ROTC cadet officers organized by the PMS&T to create a closer relationship between the cadets and the military faculty and to promote the military social and semi-professional activities. A Military Ball was held at Turner Armory on April 25, 1953; a Pershing Rifle company has been established, and the corps has participated in the Baltimore Armed Forces Day Parade, Armistice Day Parade, and the 195 3 Hagerstown Al Satian Mummer's Parade. Members of the petitioning group were John P. Burke, Charles L. Bauermann, Matthew C. Butte, James G. Connelly, Edward G. Gunning, George N . Lewis, Andrew P. Nicotra, Mario J. Reda, William J. Schmidt, William R. Taymans, Joseph I. Tivvis, and Frank A. Vonasek. The PMS&T, Colonel Vandervort, is a native of Oak Park, Ill., but was reared in Hollywood, Calif. He was graduated from Oregon State College in 1941 as a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery Reserve and received a Regular Army commission in October, 1942. From 1943-45 he served with the 96lst FA Battalion in Europe, and from 1945-47 he was on occupation duty in Germany with the 68th Constabulary Squadron. He was assigned to the War Department General Staff until 1950 when he attended the Advanced Course for Artillery officers at Fort Sill, Okla. He was assigned to Ohio State University as assistant PMS&T in 1951, being transferred to Loyo~a in June, 1952. Congratulations are in order for VII Corps Area Inspector Charles A. Grosche and his wife, Sue, upon the arrival last July 14th of a son, William Charles, who weighed in at 8 pounds 5 ounces. The Grosches reside in St. Paul, Minn.

The winners contributed 61 Y2 inches of material for two issues of the JOURNAL, as compared with M-4's total of 59Y2 inches of copy and photos in three issues. General participation in the 1953-54 contest was the best it has ever been. Seventy-two companies contributed news for at least one of the four issues, although no company �6 THE JOURNAL achieved the distinction of being represented in every issue. Four companies besides M-4-A-7 at Drexel Institute, C-4 at the University of Cincinnati, D-9 at Howard University, and A-6 at U.C.L.A.-had material appearing in three issues. Incidentally, all of these companies placed in the top ten in the contest. The perennial champs, K-6 at Boston, slipped well below the 100 inches contributed by their predecessors to four issues in 1952-53 and the 108 inches with which they won the 1951-52 title. Unless this year's crew hustles a bit, however, there's a good chance this year that another company will break the winning string amassed by K-6. Rules for the contest are simple. Awards are made solely on the basis of the total column inches of copy and photos appearing for each company in the four issues of the current school year. In other words, the 1954-5 5 contest which begins with this issue will include the November, 1954, and January, March, and May, 1955, issues. In addition to newsletters submitted by the companies, credit is given for items about alumni and for special pledge papers or other items properly identified with a specific company. Of course, all material must appear in the magazine; unpublished manuscripts or unacceptable photos cannot be counted. (See "The Editor's Corner" for specific instructions on preparation of copy and photos and for suggested special stories to increase your contest credit.) Here's how the top 14 companies placed in the 1953-54 JOURNAL Contest: 1. K-6, Boston University, 61 Y2 inches. 2. M-4, University of California, Berkeley, 59Y2 inches. 3.

Army photo) Novemb er, 1954 Cadet Colonel Arthur Dick Howard, right, a member of A-ll at the University of Richmond, receives congratulations from Colonel Robert C. Larson, PMS&T, for being named winner of the $300 first-place scholarship presented by the National Society of Scabbard and Blade last spring. The award was based on general all-around excellence in military science, academic records, and leadership qualities. Howard, regimental commander of the Transportation Corps ROTC at Richmond, received the bachelor of science degree in history and political science last June. While an undergraduate, he was first in his class scholastically for four years and was a leader in student government, a varsity debator, circulation manager and columnist for the college newspaper, and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, Tau Kappa Alpha, Pi Sigma Alpha, and Phi Alpha Theta. He was also secretary-treasurer of the band, a Glee Club member, and player in the Richmond Symphony Orchestra. Second place in the scholarship contest went to David T. Friest of the Naval ROTC at Iowa State College, and Richard T. Willham of O klahoma A. & M. College was third. They received $200 and $100, respectively, from the National Society. The Army has announced it is testing two new rifleseither of which is capable of replacing the M-1 , carbine, machinegun, submachinegun and the BAR. Being tested is the T -44, an American Army Ordnance-developed weapon, and the FN, a product of the National Arms Factory of Belgium. The Belgian weapon is being procured for the same extensive field testing under varying climatic conditions that the American weapon is undergoing. The procurement and testing in no way constitutes a commitment for adoption. Both weapons are shorter and lighter than the standard M-1. The T-44 has a 10 or 20-round capacity while the FN has a 20-round capacity. Th~ FN will be chambered for the new experimental .30 caliber shell adopted by five of the NATO powers.

Officers elected last spring for the 195 3-54 school year included: Captain, Robert J. Patrick, Navy; first lieutenant, Robert R. Anderson, Army; second lieutenant, E. Gene Belcoe, Air Force; and first sergeant, Gordon R. Papritz, Navy. The offices are rotated each year among the three ROTC units. The activities began in the fall with the selection of pledges from the ROTC units on campus. A total _of 34 outstanding men were initiated at a banquet held m the Student Union Building on December 2. Guests were Colonel Walter A. Rude, PMS&T; Captain Arthur C. Wood, PNS; Colonel George H. Dietz, PAS&T; and the three advisors, Major Philip F. Beaulieu, USA (a mem~er of F-6); Lieutenant Dean L. Kellogg, USN; and MaJOr Kenneth B. Clark, USAF. The formal initiation was held after the banquet. Jerry Read was the pledge trainer. Bob Patrick was the company's representative to the National Convention in November. In February, the company had a successful stag party. Chairman was Don Baldwin. Several of the meetings have been enlivened by interesting speakers, some of whom have been Colonel Rude, Lt. Colonel George E. Leppig, USMC, and Captain E. A. Valentine, USAF. In February also the company was saddened by the death of one of its members, William A. Lang. Bill was an NROTC junior and ranked high in his class in aptitude. (See separate article.) . In March Major Garfield R. Bensen replaced MaJOr Clark as the Air Force advisor. The Cadet Ball was held at the Fort Lawton Officers' Club on April 23. The six finalists as chosen from the 21 candidates were Sally McGee, Delta Gamma; Fran Herb, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Betty Casperson, McKee Hall; Beth Flower, Chi Omega; Marnie Moe, Alpha Phi; and Lynn Stewart, Kappa Alpha Theta. Some outstanding Scabbard and Blade men in Washington campus activities were Frank Parker, student body president; Jerry Tollefsrud, president of Pershing Rifles; Jim Callaghan, NROTC battalion commander; Jim Hennes, Nov ember} 195 4 TYEE (yearbook) editor; and Bob Patrick, president of Compass and Chart. The University of Washington has Infantry, Quartermaster, Artillery, Engineer, and Transportation units in the Army ROTC. Total enrollment, including basic students, is 87 4. The Air Force ROTC unit is the largest of the three, its total enrollment being 1314 students. The Naval ROTC has 350 students, and offers courses leading to line, Supply Corps, and Marine Corps commissions. On May 21, the University of Washington's three ROTC units held their sixth annual Governor's Day Review for the Honorable Arthur B. Langlie, Governor of the State of Washington. Nearly 2500 cadets and midshipmen participated in the ceremonies. The three units were combined in a Provisional Brigade, composed of a brigade headquarters and staff, an Army regiment of two battalions, a Navy battalion of three companies, and an Air Force wing of four groups. The brigade commander was Cadet Colonel Franklin Parker, Army; the brigade executive officer was Midshipman Commander Robert Kramer; and the brigade adjutant was Cadet Colonel Peter Hildebrandt, Air Force. Parker and Kramer are both members of Company I-1 of Scabbard and Blade. The Army's regimental commander was Cadet Lt. Col. Thomas Chitwood; the Navy's battalion commander was Midshipman Lt. Cmdr. James Callaghan; and the Air Force wing commander was Cadet Colonel Ronald Markey. Both Chitwood and Callaghan are members of I-1. After the address of welcome to parents and cadets by the University's President, Dr. Henry Schmitz, and the presentation of the ROTC Brigade to the Governor, anumber of outstanding cadets and midshipmen were presented awards and honors by various groups. Twenty-one Army ROTC cadets received awards. Among them were six Scabbard and Blade men. WILLIAM ALWIN LANG William A. Lang met his untimely death near his Renton, Wash., home on February 12, 1954. Bill was an NROTC junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in sociology. He was a member of Company I, First Regiment, of the National Society of Scabbard and Blade. Bill was also secretary of the UW Varsity Rifle Team and a member of the 49' ers, a speech association. He was second vice-president of Compass and Chart, NROTC social organization, and at the time of his death was chairman of that organization's annual Ring Dance, held on March 6. Bill was 20 years old at the time. He was survived by his mother, Mrs. Agnes Lang, of Renton. Bill showed his intense interest in ROTC activities by his active participation in many extra-curricular projects. His willingness to help and his boundless enthusiasm marked his every move and his happy smile cheered students and instructors alike. His unselfish spirit of cooperation made him an extremely valuable member of every organization he belonged to, and his friends, Scabbard and Blade, the Naval ROTC unit, and the University of Washington lost a truly great and wonderful young man. �November, 1954 9 THE JOURNAL Cadet Colonel Franklin Parker received the trophy presented to the cadet officer designated as commander of troops; the Senior Military Prize, given to the senior cadet who exhibits outstanding scholarship merit; and the Sons of the American Revolution award, presented to the senior cadet who possesses the highest qualities of leadership. Parker was student body president at Washington this year, having been president of the Class of '54 in both his freshman and sophomore years and being active in his fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau, and in university affairs. Parker is one of 75 outstanding young men and women who have been selected to enter the University's School of Medicine this September to study for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He was also pledged to Phi Beta Kappa this spring. The Reserve Officers' Association Citizenship Award went to Cadet SFC Richard Ramsey, who is I-l's captain for 1954-1955.

WINNING DESIGN in a contest sponsored by F-2 at Indiana University was this Army ROTC shoulder patch being modeled here by Miss Gail Framberg, freshman and Honorary Coed Colonel at I. U. James E. Osborne, who designed the patch, looks on approvingly. The design, which will be standard equipment for I. U. Army cadets this fall, will be modified to include the name «Indiana." (Photo Courtesy of Indiana University News Bureau.) IJJ-3, U. nt (JldaJwJrUL We started off the new year with 32 returning members. We think this is exceptionally good, because 34 were supposed to return and the two who failed to return have been medically discharged. Our new advisors for this year are Lt. Col. Thomas W. Shallington, Inf, Maj. Fred A. Coley, QM, and Capt. Alex H. Bernhard, Arty. W e welcome them as our advisors for the coming year and have already grown to appreciate their advice and helpful hints. Captain Smith, company commander, opened the first meeting and the main topic of conversation was the Military Ball, which will be held in our Student Union Building on December 4. After much debate the company finally decided on Tony Pastor as our orchestra for the evening. Necessary committees were appointed and work was well under way before the evening was over. Plans were also set forth by 1st Lt. Taylor for the first pledge class of the year. We had the pledges toeing the mark before October 1. D-3 has done well with drill field assignments this year with Carl Smith being appointed cadet colonel, Don Ellis as exec., Sam Britten, S-3, Henry Taylor, S-4, and Rex Kimmel, adjutant. This is a clean sweep on the regimental staff. Dan Duggan is first battalion commander and Leonard Sisk is second battalion commander. Most of the company commanders, platoon leaders, and other key positions are filled by Scabbard and Blade personnel. Some of our extended plans include a float in the Homecoming Parade, Pledge banquets, Scabbard and Blade For- �10 November, 1954 THE JOURNAL mal, and an Honor Guard for all home football games. So all in all it looks like a very full and active year for D-3 and the University of Oklahoma.-RK. Following is a review of the activities of D Company, 4th Regiment, during the past school year: On Armistice Day we participated in a civic parade as a unit under the command of Captain Van Nutt. The rifle team of our unit here at the University of Kentucky participated in the National Scabbard and Blade competition and fired a total score of 1791. The team was composed of the following members: John Fuse, Billy Engle, Van Nutt, Chester Walters, Roger Leland, and Robert Prichard. Our biggest activity was the Annual Military Ball which this year was under the direct sponsorship of Scabbard and Blade. The ball this year was held on March 6. The Military Ball Committee was cmpprised of Van Nutt, Jack Fuse, Ed Conder, and Billy Engle. Miss Anne Smith was selected as Queen of the Ball. Miss Marcia McDaniel served as her first attendant, and Miss Carolyn Sue West was her second attendant. Scabbard and Blade again participated as a unit in the Armed Forces Day Parade on May 15. The unit was under the command of Burnett R. Sanders, II, newly elected captain of D-4 for the year 1954-55.-KEG. )-If., SCENES FROM KENTUCKY Military Ball sponsored by D-4 show (top) Queen Anne Smith being escorted to the throne by Cadet Colonel John Fust under a saber arch formed by members of Scabbard and Blade; (center) Miss Smith receiving her crown from Van Nutt, captain of D-4; and (bottom) the Queen and her court. u. Dt ~ F Company, 4th Regiment, under the expert guidance of Capt. William H. Barnard, has started the new semester by bringing all company records up to date and by re-organizing the company for a more active organization in 1954-55. With the helpful suggestions of the 24 active members, the officers ofF Company have been able to plan a full program for the coming year. Special emphasis will be made to bring Scabbard and Blade to rite limelight among the campus organizations and to better acquaint the students with its activities and purposes. A meeting for all interested persons was held October 14th. Included on the full calendar of events are initiations tentatively set for December 5 and March 6, the annual Military Ball, pistol and rifle teams, and more formal meetings of the company. Plans are underway for a bigger and better Squire Week. With more interest and participation from the members this year than in previous years, F -4 is assured of a successful school year.-WHB. Under the capable leadership of Captain Harry Lamon, B-5, located at Davidson College, Davidson, N. C., has had a very successful year. The company set as its goal at the beginning of the year to place Scabbard and Blade to its rightful place of importance. This we feel has been accomplished through our activities and participation in campus and ROTC events. In the fall, the company organized an Honor Drill Platoon, made up of the ROTC second-year students. Our members have led in the instruction and training of the platoon. Likewise, we equipped the platoon with scarfs and shoulder cords. This Drill Platoon performs at every drill period and has added much to the espirit de corps of our entire ROTC regiment. Our social life has been very active- including two big lake parties; one in the spring in honor of our 2 1 new initiates. The highlight of the year's activity was our annual Spring Blood Drive, which B-5 sponsored and carried out in its �THE JOURNAL 11 ., ~· J BLOOD DRIVE activities at Davidson College were sponsored and carried out completely by members of B-5 in cooperation with the mobile Red Cross unit of Charlotte, N. C. (Photos by Andrew Simons, Jr.) entirety with the cooperation of the mobile Red Cross Unit of Charlotte. All of the planning, advertising, and administrative work was handled by B-5 members. The drive was under the overall leadership of First Sergeant Charley Hasty. The entire company felt that the drive was a success! At the present time all indications point to another big year with B-5 at Davidson.-CRH. Summer of 1954 proved to be one of many experiences for the members of E-5. Half of the company spent six weeks of their vacation running upon and down the hills of Fort Benning, Georgia, another step on their way to becoming qualified officers in the United States Army. Company C, GMS, ROTC Summer Camp, Fort Benning, Georgia, was the official address of the L.S.U. ROTC contingent. The University of Alabama, Prairie View A. and M. College, and the Tulane University were the other schools which composed Company C. L.S.U. made up half of the company, the third and fourth platoons, in which members of E-5 were fairly evenly dispersed. Raymond L. Waguespack, a spring of 1954 initiate, and member of the fourth platoon was designated by the cadre officers as the most outstanding cadet in "Charlie" Company for the 1954 Summer Camp. Philip J. Clements, present captain of E-5, was selected as the most outstanding cadet in the third platoon of "Charlie" Company. Many members of E-5 have been appointed to top positions in the L.S.U. Cadet Corps for the school year 1954-5 5: W. G. "Griff" Jones, cadet senior colonel, corps commander; Edgar P. Landry, cadet colonel, deputy corps commander; Roy L. Beard, cadet colonel, regimental commander; Zigurds J. Balodis, Philip J. Clements, Raymond L. Waguespack, cadet lieutenant colonels, battalion commanders; Gerald C. Coleman, cadet major, commander, The Pershing Rifles; Harry R. Sachse, cadet major, battalion executive officer; John M. McBride, cadet major, group executive officer; Larry L. Barron, John M. Bowers, Charles E. Colvin, cadet captains, squadron commanders; Francis R. Daigle, Anthony F. Maggio, cadet captains, company commanders. All are members in high command of staff positions. The total active membership of E-5 at the present is 21; however, this semester's prospective initiates show great promise and are expected to be outstanding candidates for membership. The company hopes to get off to a rapid start this year. Practice has already begun for the show to be presented at the Homecoming football game and at the Winter Military Ball to be held on December 4. New topics under consideration by the officers of E-5 include an improved method for tapping pledges for membership, a more rounded social program to be sponsored by the company, and a program to awaken freshmen and sophomores who are ROTC cadets to the honor and importance in becoming members of Scabbard and Blade and to get them to concentrate their efforts in Military and Air Science toward that end. We of E-5 send our greetings to all members of all Scabbard and Blade companies throughout the country and wish them a successful school year in the Five Stars. �November, 1954 THE JOURNAL 12 celebrate the completion of arrangements for the Military Ball. All of the members bring dates, military staff included, and we have a good meal followed by a speaker. One of the most important projects of this company throughout the past year was the building of reviewing stand on the drill field. The stand is dedicated to .Major Max A. Morris, a graduate of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, who was killed in the service of our country. Major Morris was a 1941 member of this company. Not only does this reviewing stand serve as a memorial to Major Morris, but also as a fine example of the service rendered to the campus in the past as well as in the present by L-5 of Scabbard and Blade.-WAN. a-6, u.e.:L.a. Gene Osman, retiring captain of I-5 at the University of South Dakota, left, receives the Scabbard and Blade Medal from Ronald McMaster, newly elected captain of I-5. The award was established by the company this year to honor the outstanding senior member of Scabbard and Blade at South Dakota. :L-~ CikWama.. OJIJ.hp:WL During the week prior to initiation last fall, we set up a camp for our pledges. We acquired fifteen shelter halves and food for an overnight bivouac. These men became acquainted with the outdoors and the problems of setting up camp. To my knowledge this is the first time an overnight camp has been set up by the company at Auburn. We believe this can be beneficial to the men and are planning to make that S.O.P. during our future initiation periods. During this camp we had an inspection by Colonel Kleppinger, PMS&T; Colonel Bell, PNS&T; and Colonel Townsend, PAS&T, and other officers of the three units. By this inspection the pledges, as well as ourselves, learned a great deal about setting up a small bivouac. L Company, Fifth Regiment, is at present engaged in planning its activities for the coming year. Although the company has yet to meet (October 1) due to the late starting school year, a great deal of ground work has been laid for the coming year. Probably foremost in the activities of the coming quarter is the forthcoming smoker in which we try to acquaint the prospective novitiates with the purposes and ideals of Scabbard and Blade. Also at this time many of the pertinent facts concerning the qualifications for membership in the organization are brought out and explained. For the first time we intend to have our regional advisor say a few words concerning his experiences in Scabbard and Blade. No particular major speaker has been chosen for the affair, although several interesting personalities are available. On the basis of the prospective member's response to the invitation and his other qualifications, we then consider him for membership in the company. Another item under consideration at the present time is the annual Army, Navy, and Air Force joint Military Ball. If this year's Military Ball works out according to the present tentative plans, it should be the outstanding social event on this campus for the year. As usual, the Honorary Colonel will be chosen from the co-eds on the campus. The members of this company present the dance and all of the phases of planning are handled through committees. Along with our Military Ball we have a Scabbard and Blade banquet at which the members can get together and Highlight of the spring semester's activities for A Company, Sixth Regiment, at the University of California at Los Angeles, was the annual Military Ball, held May 21, in the Starlight Room of the Hollywood Athletic Club. The evening was climaxed by the presentation of the Queen and her court, and the coronation of the Queen by Colonel Mason H. Lucas, Professor of Military Science and Tactics at UCLA. Queen Linda McCausland and her court, Princesses Betty Bernard, Diane Hurley, Norene Baum, and Janet Seward, were selected in a contest held May 4 on the UCLA campus. The panel of judges consisted of members of the staffs of the three military departments at UCLA and of a representative of A-6. On May 7 members of the UCLA company visited the office of Mayor of Los Angeles Norris Poulson. Miss McCausland formally invite~ the Mayor to the Military Ball. (S ee Cover.) The Queen and her court were among the guests at the Army ROTC General and Special Awards Days, May 13 and May 27. At the latter ceremony, Cadet Lewis C. O'Rourke was awarded the Scabbard and Blade Medal for superior attributes of a potential officer. Following the ceremony the Queen and her court were the luncheon guests of the Department of Military Science and Tactics. On June 5 Midshipman Roland R. Speers II was awarded the Scabbard and Blade Medal for outstanding military excellence at the NROTC Final Dress Parade. At the end of the sem~ster, new members were initiated and elections held for new company officers. MAYOR NORRIS POULSON of Los Angeles discusses the UCLA Military Ball with Queen Linda McCausland (see cover). A-6 played a major role in this gala event held last May 21 in the Starlight Room of the Hollywood Athletic Club. �November, 1954 THE JOURNAL REVIEWING PARTY (top) witnesses the awards ceremony of the UCLA Army ROTC unit last spring. Cadet Lewis C. O'Rourke received Scabbard and Blade Medal from A-6 for superior attributes of a potential officer. (Below) Miss Linda McCausland, center, Queen of A-6's annual Military Ball, poses with her court -Princesses Betty Bernard, Diane Hurley, Norene Baum, and Janet Seward. These lovelies reigned over Military Ball and participated in General and Special Awards Day ceremonies of UCLA's Ar!lly ROTC unit. As someone already has wisely pointed out, in the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of what he has been thinking about all winter. And so it was with Company E-6 and its amorous swains. Among the spring semester's social highlights were several events in which Scabbard and Blade men played important parts. The Military Ball, perhaps "the" dance of the season other than the Senior Prom, was held at the Penntop Roof of the Hotel Statler and lived up to its expectations. The success of the ball was due in no small part o the striking Honor Guard composed of Scabbard and Blade men and Pershing riflemen. Those in the honor guard included: Stanley Speyer, Bill Klein, Mike Varona, Larry Lerner, Walter Lehman, Tony Libonatti, Dick Elkort, Jeff Stark, and Arthur Sherman. Resplendent in their Bashing sabers and white satin sashes and scarves, the Scabbard and Blade men made an impressive arch with their sabers for the Queen of the Military Ball to walk through. A pledge dance was also held in the spring at Lawrence House on March 20, just two weeks after the Military Ball. Jimmy Fay, Ronnie Meltzer, Don Buttaro, Lou Dimaggio, Ernest Kaufman, and Marty Ontell were the pledges who 13 attended along with the regular members of the group. The enthusiam of the pledge class was certainly gratifying-and unexpected after the huge Military Ball. But the pledge dance was a small, intimate one that enabled pledges and members to get to know each other a little better. In the spring a college guy and gal have other thoughts, too. For instance: What's the spring without a real, wet, sloppy fishing trip replete with high boots, short pants, twopiece bathing suits, and half-drowned would-be fishermen? So, a hardy group of 25 stalwart seafarers set forth on April 18 for Long Island Sound and what they hoped would be smooth sailing and full creels. After floundering in the water for a while, the fishing became of secondary importance and the keg of beer astern took on a new light. Some Bounders were caught as were a few colds. But we did have fun. To my mind, this past spring session was one of the most jampacked, eventful and happy-go-lucky school session, Scabbard and Blade-wise, to my memory. Time for more serious things drew near and a pledge interview was held and initiation followed several weeks afterwards. Most of the pledges did well on the exam. Of the original six pledges (which was an excellent number for mid-term) four were admitted into our ranks. They are Tony Berman, Don Buttaro, Ernest Kaufman, and Ronald Meltzer. One of the characteristics, and an important characteristic of our members, is not only their active participation in Scabbard and Blade, but their participation in other extracurricular activities as well. Here are a few worthy highlights of our participation in school affairs: Walter J. Ferner, a 1954 graduate starred in several dramatic performances as did our PIO officer, Mike Varona. Both extremely talented young men, they are members of Green Room Honor Society, the dramatic honorary. Ronald Meltzer, a new member with a top bass voice sang with the Varsity Glee Club in appearances throughout the United States and at the annual concert in Town Hall. And Mike Varona was one of the five juniors last year to be elected to Perstare et Praestare, the school's highest extra-curricular honor society. A future article will deal in more detail on our members' roles on campus. ROTC Field Day on May 7 never showed our unit to better advantage. The field day color guard included Stanley Members of C-6 at Akron University who competed in the Scabbard and Blade Rifle Match included (from left to right) Jack Prarat, Robert McMillan, and Paul DiMascio. �14 November, 1954 THE JOURNAL Speyer, Tony Libonatti, Larry Lerner, Walter Lehman, and Tony Berman. An amusing incident occurred when the ~unior c~det officers took over command from the graduatmg senwrs. Don Buttaro, a heretofore hidden comedian, showed a sense of humor that brought loud and gusty guffaws from the spectators. As the adjutant, he waltzed out to take command like Jackie Gleason with a bit too much wine in him. From then on, it was anybody's field day. The last and most important meeting was held a few weeks before final exams. Tony Libonatti, a 1954 graduate, was voted the cadet who did most for Scabbard and Blade. He was the outgoing First Lieutenant. At commencement, he was awarded a saber. Election of new officers took place and those chosen were: Captain, Walter Lehman; first lieutenant, Artie Sherman; second lieutenant, Abe Rabisavsky; first sergeant, Bill Klein; and PIO, Mike Varona. Ernest Kaufman was appointed parlimentarian, and a pledgemaster will be appointed at the beginning of the fall semester. Company E-6 is characterized by the intense interest of its members continuing to improve and better themselves. Living by the ideals expressed in the Constitution of Scabbard and Blade, they are a group of men that America, NYU and the National Society can well be proud of.-MV. Too often, in an organization as large as Scabbard and Blade do many men go un-noticed-not because of lackluster on their parts but because of lack of space. However this report will try to make up for this in part by devoting most of its space to its men. Company E-6 can well be proud of its members, not only for their interest and enthusiasm shown towards Scabbard and Blade, but because of their broad and ever-widening effect on campus activities. Walter Lehman and Abe Rabisavsky have formed a film society on campus which caters to every group. Their efforts to obtain films anent the topics of the various groups on campus have gotten them quite a following. Abe has used the facilities of WNYU, New York University's radio station, in interesting students in Scabbard and Blade. Scabbard an~ Blade is the only extra-curricular activity on campus wh1ch can boast of having a set of twins-Dick and Don Elkort. Both are expert riflemen. Dick's prowess with a rifle has earned him a place on the rifle team. Dan's versatility extends to writing for Quadrangle} the engineering campus' literary magazine and as a lighting expert with the Hall of Fame Players. Ronald Meltzer has been mentionec_previously in another article. At this moment he is in rehearsal with the NYU Glee Club-preparing for their Town Hall concert and their appearance at the dedication of the new student center on October 30th. Arthur Sherman is a Pershing rifleman (we shan't hold that against him) and is active on WNYU and Violet, the yearbook. Most of our members are also fraternity men and among them is Don Buttaro who is vice-president of the InterFraternity Council and president of the Nu Epsilon chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. This fall semester he was chosen rush chairman of IFC. As a result, many freshmen will have the benefit of his experience. Larry Lerner is a member of the Jo.hn Marshall pre-law society and is the student representative to the Undergraduate Athletic Board, which deals with determining policy and program of NYU's athletic events. Michael Varona is executive secretary of Green Room Honor Society, the governing body of NYU's dramatic group, and is Scabbard and Blade's only member in Perstare et Praestare, NYU's highest extra-curricular honor society. Several months ago, the Patterson Memorial Armory was ?edicated. Completed in the spring of 1954 at the Heights, 1t stands as a memorial to one of America's greatest men. E-6 FURNISHED Scabbard and Blade honor guard for Queen of Military Ball at NYU. Shown from left are M. Vorona, R. Elkort, T. Libonati, J. Stark, W. Lehmann, S. Speyer, L. Lerner, A. Sherman, and W. Klein. At its dedication was Bernard Baruch, revered elder statesman, who received a hearty ovation from the spectators. Scabbard and Blade was represented at the dedication ceremonies. One reason for this may well be the acquisition of an office and recreation room by Scabbard and Blade for its members in the building directly opposite the armory, the new Gould Student Center. Scabbard and Blade will be in the middle of student activities-literally and figuratively. Its members make it so; its location makes it so. T his past summer was the beginning of a new and different experience for many Scabbard and Blade men. At least six weeks of it was. From June 20 to August 1, advanced corpsmen slept, ate, dreamt and acted like soldiers· fighting mosquitoes, poison ivy and themselves. It was si~ ~eeks of sweating, cursing, bivouacing, complaining, gett~ng up at 3: 15 and &enerally acclimating oneself to Army llfe. It was an expenence very few of us will forget or want to forget. What we learned was, or rather is too valuable. We may not. have all come out wishing to spend the rest. ~f our l~ves m the Army, but we certainly came out reallzmg the 1mportance of a well organized and completely prepared army. Scabbard and Blade men were once again in the limelight if it may be called that. The first company commander and company executive officer were our own Dick Elkort and Ronald Meltzer, respectively. Larry Lerner was company com!llander during bivouac week, and no man could have earned of! his position with more aplomb and fortitude than he d1d under the rrying circumstances of bivouac. Abe Rabisavsky was one of the few chosen from NYU for Intelligen~e and he came thro~gh summer camp with flying colors. M1ke Varona, on the hghter side of activities made the semi-finals in the summer camp tennis tourname~t, and Stan Speyer was on the winning volley ball team. A new term has begun. A new pledge class has been started here and at all the schools boasting of a Scabbard and Bla?e comp.any. Company E-6 would like to take this opportumty to w1sh all of you the best of luck and success in the new school year.-MV. [-8, ].ulr!utJL Unio~ ~-~.at T~lane University climaxed its company's spring act1v1t1es w1th the tapping of 17 outstanding members of the three ROTC units on ' campus ( Army, Navy, Air Force) for members~iJ? in the local Scabb~rd and Blade chapter.

According to Clay W . G. Fulcher, G-8 captain, purpose of the competition was two-fold. First, by making the competition an annual affair and by awarding permanent possession of the cup to the first team to win it three times, it was hoped that even more incentive would be provided to excel within each drill platoon. Second, it is a main objective of Scabbard and Blade to bring the three services closer together and into greater mutual cooperation by promoting fellowship and understanding among the student officers. 9-8, U. 4 ]llXILL Company G, Eighth Regiment, at the University of Texas, sponsored an inter-ROTC drill competition last spring. Participating were the Buccaneer (Navy), Orange Wings' (Air Force), and Ranger (Army) drill teams. A cup was E-8 at Tulane University. Activity by D-9 at Howard University came into fullswing as the new officers of the company began their newly acquired duties. Under the supervision of the company's advisor, Captain Samuel Sampson, and the new company commander, Cadet Captain Verdise Rollins, a new ROTC and Scabbard and Blade headquarters has been established. The other company officers are First Lieutenant Floyd Branch, Second Lieutenant Arthur Clement and First Sergeant Bobby Works. The company deeply regrets the loss of its former first lieutenant, Curtis Atkinson, who did not return to school this year. Lt. Col. Rischoi, PMS&T at Howard, expressed to the senior class his enthusiasm for the fine record that the class made in Summer Camp. Cadet Bobby Works was Howard's outstanding rifleman, and Cadet Verdise Rollins received the Outstanding Cadet Award for Howard University. Attractive Doris D aniels, a senior in Howard University's Music School, is this year's Queen. D-9 is proud that its choice of a queen will add glamour to the company.VWR. �16 THE JOURNAL November, 1954 Others initiated include Walter Greenwood, Veryl Brunton, DeWitt Ward, Gayle Erickson, Ted Hannah, Billie Little, Bobbie Floyd, Max Tomlinson, Larry Marks, Bob Etheredge, Harrell Hamilton, Keith Newman, Darrell Smith, and Jimmy Baggett. A party honoring the new members was held after the initiation services. The Texas Tech Army ROTC held its first annual field day April 1 under the co-sponsorship of Company D-11 and the Regimental staff. D-1 1 presented ribbons to winners of individual and unit competition in six events. The events on the program were: best drilled platoon, best drilled squad, best drilled cadet (Manual of Arms), best guidon-bearer, disassembly and assembly of the rifle, and grenade-throwing (For distance and accuracy) .-CM.

D-11 of Texas Tech College initiated 14 new members and two associate members in ceremonies on the campus March 27. The week end initiation concluded a week of extensive pledging activities. Wearing "fatigue" clothes and presenting "big brothers" with a two-foot replica of a saber were included in the activities. Dr. Dysart E. Holcomb, dean of engineering, and Maj. V. B. Penuel, Jr., Sig C, assistant professor of military science and tactics, were initiated as associate Scabbard and Blade members. DR. DYSART E. HOLCOMB, dean of engineering at Texas Tech, receives congratulations from two members of Company D-11. Dean Holcomb was initiated as an associate member of D-11. The "Climastat suit" has been added to the Army's list of cold-weather equipment. It is a version of the coldbar suit with automatic controls. It is believed to have a wider range of protection under varying cold-weather condition. The new type clothing has two layers stitched together so that the perforations do not coincide in the separate layers. When the wearer is inactive, an air seal surrounds his body and keeps him warm. When he is active, a forced pumping action results, which provides ventilation through the holes and rids the body of excess heat and moisture. The waterrepellant outer jacket and trousers prevent the entrance of outside moisture. The suit has flotation characteristics sufficient to keep the wearer afloat while fully equipped. The great advantage is the suit can be worn in moderate temperatures while engaged in vigorous activity. The coldbar suit tendency to become overheated is overcome. 'J1JllJJ 9Jta1f--9Jullm_, Unifo'tm, The returns are in, and Army men across the nation have selected a new general duty uniform, rejecting the traditional "olive drab" in favor of gray-green wool serge. The new uniform, which also eliminates the familiar Eisenhower jacket, was chosen by enlisted men and officers of the Regular Army, Reserve and National Guard in a series of preference votes held throughout the country last spring. The change will be the first departure from the traditional olive drab and khaki for general duty wear in more than 50 years. However, last winter the Army indicated its desire for a color change when it adopted a blue all-wool dress uniform. The new wool serge uniform has a fitted coat that extends below the hips, with no pronounced flare or waistline seam, and two upper and two lower button-through flapped .pockets. Trousers have no pleats or cuffs. Enlisted men and officers will wear the same uniformthe only difference being in insignias. Despite the change in color and styling, the Army retains its present preference for wool-traditionally used in servicemen's garbs. Because of its durability and ability to provide comfort under all weather conditions, wool best meets the needs of servicemen. The change-over to the new uniform is expected to begin in 1955-as soon as Congress and the Defense Department have given formal approval to the Army's choice. It takes about 18 months for the issuance of a new uniform the Army says, because of the procurement and logistics ~rob­ Jems involved. �Novembe1', 1954 THE JOURNAL By the time you read this, I'm sure each of you will be deep in the midst of the new school year. Undoubtedly, your company has already held several meetings and plans are underway for a bigger and better year. Why not make one feature of that year more active participation in the JOURNAL Contest? If your company is doing anything at all, it is certainly worth sharing with the brothers throughout the country. Elsewhere in this issue you will find a report on the 1953-54 JouRNAL Contest. A close study of the results will show that the winning company last year needed only 15 inches of material per issue to win. Although this was unusually low, the total indicates just how simple it is to make a showing in the contest. In the two previous years it took 25 inches of material per issue to win top place. This issue inaugurates the 1954-5 5 contest, but you need not have an article in it to have a chance for contest honors. Remember there's a big trophy awaiting the winner. Let's beat 'that record of 72 companies participating in last year's contest. In an organization such as ours, there's no valid reason why every company shouldn't be represented in at least one issue. First thing you need to know are the deadlines for the respective issues. Here they are: September 15th for November issue; November 1st for January issue; December 15th for March issue; and March 1st for May issue. But don't let these dates throw you: copy received anytime eventually gets into print. We don't throw it away. But you may be disappointed in the delay if you don't try to observe the closing dates. The following general rules for copy and photo preparation and content may help you-and your editor. 1. Try to write as interestingly as possible. Do not confine yourself to military style. D escribe in detail all company projects which you consider unique or of special interest to other companies. Remember that the primary purpose of the JOURNAL is to furnish a forum for the exchange of ideas among companies of the National Society. 2. Address your newsletter to the Editor, National Society of Scabbard and Blade, 705 North Main Street, West Lafayette, Indiana. Send by first class mail. If photos are enclosed, pack them carefully and protect with stiff cardboard. 3. Be sure all photos are properly identified. Do not attach photo descriptions to the photos with paper clips-they may ruin the print! Rubber cement used sparingly or scotch tape may be used to fasten cutlines to the back of photos, but is is much better not to attach the lines to the photo at all. Simply write a key word and your company designation on the back in soft pencil or ink and put the lines in loose. Numbering the print and lines to correspond is an excellent method of identifying. Prints should be 4-by-5 inches or larger but not larger than 8-by-10 inches. (Smaller prints can be used in some cases, but they should be sharp and have good detail and contrast.) 4. Copy must be legible! If at all possible, it should be typewritten and double spaced. Use one side of the paper only. If you must hand print or write the copy, please leave enough space between lines to permit minor corrections and word changes. We do not attempt to re-write newsletters; we believe they should express the company reporter's own thoughts as much as possible. 17 5. Be sure all names are spelled correctly. Use first name or initials for full identification. Yes, National Headquarters has the names on file, but we cannot take the time to check the spelling of every name mentioned in newsletters. 6. Do not Jimit your contributions to newsletters ab~ut company activities and projects. Look around for other Interesting and appropriate stories. How about telling the other companies about some military or naval post, camp, station, or base near you, or which you have visited? ~le~ge papers on military subjects are a good bet for publlcatwn if they are well written. 7. Do not stop there. If you have an idea for a story you would like to see in your magazine, drop us a line at National Headquarters arid we will try to comply. Maybe we can give your company credit for the story even though it is written by someone else. We welcome suggestions anytime. How about it? -Fred I. ]ones, Editor Jal:luvt, -$ML ?ri.JmWJlltiJ_, &JuL !JJL (JJJJL Snci.rd:q_ Father and son combinations are noteworthy in college fraternities but when both a father and son are found on the rolls Scabbard and Blade that is a sign of exceptional achievement in our book.
