- 19 9-80 r anization And Activities NROTC does not con- sist of simply drill and classroom instruction. To insure that we will be ready for commissioning there are many and var- ied organizations and ac- tivities ta challenge and motivate us as midship- men. Our two societies - the Trident Society and Semper Fidelis - pro- mote a better under- standing of the naval ro- fession. The Rifle amf Pis- tol teams develop marks- mahship. The Honor Guard travels around the state fand even makes an annual trek to Mardi Grasj representing the Unit before military and civilian audiences. Our many activities include the Orientation Week, field days, compang com- petition, Mess Nig t, and Militarbv Weekend. The end o iective is to com- mission competent, pro- fessional, well-rounded officers. Op ortunities for learning agound. But we must also challenge ourselves.

Semper Fi The Semper Fidelis Society is an or- ganization open to anyone enrolled in a program leading to a commission in the United States Marine Corps. Its ac- tivities are designed to further the professional interests of its members. ln the past the Society has invited such speakers as the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps and Brig. Gen. MacMil- lan, who leads the recruiting effort. Any other special events, including the Marine Corps Birthday Ball and af- fairs given in honor of fellow Marines, are planned and directed by the Soci- ety. In addition to listening to the ex- perts, Semper Fidelis members ex- change opinions and advice with each other. Everyone benefits from the in- formal discussions of aspects of life in the Marine Corps, especially the young guys, according to Midn 2! C Youngdale, President of the Society. Semper Fidelis members develop strong friendships through their com- mon bond, along with an esprit that is unmatched by any other organization. Trident The Trident Society is composed of those outstanding midshipmen that show particular promise 'in the Naval profession. Dedicated to the advance- ment of understanding in matters that pertain to the Navy, the society spon- sors several awards recognizing schol- arship and professionalism. The soci- ety also hosts the Spring picnic and various other social activities. All work and no play makes an officer a dull boy. left to right: Manthe, Clement, Kinneer, Thomason, Shue, Tharp, Butler, Healy, Thomas, Galbreaith, Mills, Bergey, Dixon, Ward, Throckmorton, Cordle, Meuschke, DeWolfe, Mallon, Youngdale.
