The Landon Rifles is an organization which is usually called the school's military crack unit. All members of the Landon Rifles are selected from the corps for their outstanding leadership, schol- arship, drill and good sportsmanship which they show through the years. This year the Landon Rifles was commanded by Cadet Lt. Colonel Frank Gioveg Captain Norman Eriksen was chosen as tactical adviser. Throughout the year the Unit puts on a number of special drills, the best being on Washington's Birthday. A lot of credit must go to the boys in this unit for their hard work in making the corps attain a high standard. Credit must also go to their tireless leaders. The Landon Rifles of '56 passes on to next year's men the honor of being inducted into this organiza- tion. Landon Rifles

Band The B. M. I. Band is one of the proudest and most spirited units in the Corps, and this year was no exception. This small unit, under the direction of Mr. Vincent Fiorito, Jr., and the fine leadership of Cadet Lt. Robert Slatoff, had many new and interesting drills. They also learned a wide variety of interesting numbers and played many of the tradi- tional school songs. A B. M. I. Band appearing at a football game is a rare thing, but this year the Band made an excep- tion to this by putting on an exhibition drill and playing during the games. They did this in spite of the little time they had to prepare. A splendid per- formance for the Washington Birthday celebration and a terrific Memorial Day performance are also memorable to the Band's credit. We all give our gratitude and respect to the Band and hope that the B. M. I. Bands in the future Years will be as good as this one of 1956.
