This year the honor went to Mary Loretta Blake, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. After the presentation of the Honorary Colonel, Don Cleveland, Cadet Commander, was awarded the rank of Regimental Commander. This award is given to the out- standing student of military science who has shown his capability through high achievement.
