DICKERSON JANELLE GERVICKAS Mrs. Janelle Gervickas has been with the unit since 1970. She likes her work in the administrative office because she comes in contact with the mid- shipmen so much. Janelle is not only popular with her three granddaughters QTiffany, Rachael and Bethanyj, but with the midshipmen as well: she is the lady-with-the-flying-fingers when term papers are in season. Janelle plans to stay on at the unit for several years and we will appreciate having her here. I A ..-xv X V, ,,. Cs -...ur .3 t Miss Jennie Dickerson began working at the Vanderbilt unit in 1962. She has seen many changes in that time, includ- ing eight C.O.'s and five X.O.'s. Jennie has more sea stories about the unit than any midshipman could ever dream up. She tells one about the Spring Review during which protestors laid down on the marching field in the way of the midshipmen, who were conse- quently given instructions to march over them! There have been some trying times, but Jennie enjoys her job and plans to stay on to see many more C.O.'s. if 9 3 Q5 ,.

The Band' s repertoire of patriotic ballads, ' hymns and marches was enough to inspire and motivate any whole-hearted American. Under the direction of Ken Harding 5 di and Hal Schillinger, the band took part in the Veteran's Day parade, the Home- coming parades of both Vanderbilt and Fisk, and, special to them, the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. The Band's grand- est appearance was in the Krewe of Iris parade at Mardi Gras, where they played to scores of spectators. The appearance at. Mardi Gras was quite meaningful in that it demonstrates the degrees of excellence maintained by Vanderbilt NROTC. f 4-fi: Lie' 'L Q S 43 Q , 'Q-l BL E ANGELS The Blue Angels were a very vital part of our unit this year.

A large freshman turn- out learned much from the returning members, perfecting new moves to em- bellish standard routines. This year they participated in two drill meets, at Eastern Kentucky and Georgia Tech, where they took third overall. Tom Koenig took a first place with his indi- vidual routine at Georgia Tech. The drill team also took part in several parades including Mardi Gras and Vet- eran's Day. 44, l ,Ji af r ,K 1531523 C U'l.illl.-3333! The staff of Crosscurrents worked hard this year. putting out six issues plus an alumni issue. Editor Craig Cowden continued the high standards of the paper, trying out a new format and adding a section for trivia buffs. For anyone who missed an event, the Crosscurrents was a source of infor- mation: and in times of tension, some fictional entertainment could be found. Congratulations on a fine year. ULOR GU The Color Guard represents the young- est group of midshipmen composing an organization. They have, however, per- formed as veterans, representing Van- derbilt NROTC in flag-raising cere- monies before basketball games. This year the color guard was led by Midship- men Tripp McCubrey and Kelly Wood- roof, both of whom are experienced in color guard movements and presentations. The organization prides itself on the perfection with which it executes its ceremonies and presentations. Q Yi 1 fu Y is lk- 'Q la, gi n X uf. Q.

Members are everywhere in the bat- talion in positions of leadership and authority. As president Steve Atwell boasts, Without a doubt, we attract and initiate only top-quality midship- men. Semper Fi conducts many activ- ities ranging from parties to weekend tactical exercises where Marine Options leam fine points of leadership. at 47 RIFLE PISTOL TEAMS The Rifle and Pistol Team is a small group of dedicated souls. The Vander- bilt teams hosted two matches, attended in the fall by Duke and NC-Chapel Hill, and in the spring by Purdue and Ole Miss. Captained by Frank WonderQRillel and Karen Kohanowich fPistolJ, Van- derbilt took top places in both matches. They also traveled once to North Caro- lina for a match but did not place. They have performed well under the guidance of SSGT Willoughby and will regret his loss. The Rifle!

They performed at such occasions as the Navy Ball and the reception after Spring Review. The Mariners' harmony was a welcome addition to social events throughout the year. Led by David Loy, they entertained guests and midship- men with traditional favorites and pop- ular songs. Given only a map and a compass, these daring members must find several checkpoints in as short a time as pos- sible. A fairly small team this year, Captain Steve Mercer and the Orienteers took part in meets hosted by Vander- bilt' s Army ROTC and the H. M. Smith Field and Orienteering Meet at Auburn.
