Joseph Elliott, or simply Sarge to hundreds of form- er students. He served Campion as sergeant from 1934-42 and as PMS T from 1944-6. He was famous for training crack drill teams and coaching winning rifle teams. Before a festive Mothers ' Day crowd of parents and friends, the entire battalion passes before the reviewing stand.
