P iMtiHXj, RiUeA, JOHN LYCAS Captain JAMES B. RICHARDS 1st Lieutenant GEORGE McDONALD 2nd Lieutenant ROBERT STUTSMAN 2nd Lieutenant THOMAS LEVI 1 st Sergeant Distinctive is the word to describe the Indiana University Pershing Rifle unit. The best drilled men on the campus, members of this organization do it up right, for to them precision marching is merely a breeze. However, it all takes plenty of practice, and the boys do not lag during the drills every Monday night and Thursday afternoon. The entire unit meets for a marching session of several hours at these times. Cherchez la femme can apply to this group too — for members of it selected Jo Anne Pier- pont for their coed sponsor for the current year. The organization was founded at the Univer- sity of Nebraska in 1 894 when Lieutenant John J. Pershing organized a competitive drill team from the army unit there. Although Black Jack was promoted, the unit thrived and when it enlarged during the ensuing years, it adopted the name of its famous founder. The Indiana University unit was established approximately eleven years ago. Spotlighting the marching year of the unit is the annual drill competition with other companies of the regiment. A crack squad was sent this year to the meet at Western Kentucky State Teachers College at Bowling Green on April 24 and 25. The Indiana University company was host at a regimental meeting conducted on the campus Feb- ruary 15 and 16. Representatives were present from all of the companies in the regiment. The Riflers, under the advisership of Lieutenant Charles L. Littell, annually assists in the presenta- tion of the Military Ball in February. More than one hundred drillers make up this year ' s unit. 26

MatohiHXf JluM ied When warm spring and autumn weather pervades the Indiana University campus, strains of martial airs can be heard daily echoing from Jordan Field. Day after day, rain or shine, the famous Marching Hundred, Indiana ' s noted marching band unit, practices the intri- cate formations and precision movements that have spread its fame throughout the entire United States. Under the able direction of Gerald L. Doty, the Band travels to several out-of-town football games in ad- dition to performing at all home games. Forming the outline of the state of Indiana at the Notre Dame stadium and at the Homecoming game last fall won numerous special acclaims from sports writers and fans alike. During the cold winter months, the Hundred keeps in trim by playing at all home basketball games, at pep sessions, and at numerous other University func- tions. The Band also marches at the campus military reviews and performs for the Federal R.O.T.C. inspec- tion. To raise special funds, the organization annually helps to sponsor the Band Benefit Ball. The Marching Hundred, actually numbering more than one hundred and thirty members, also received praise this year for its patriotic presentation of the air- liner and for depicting various famous figures. 28
