1955 Debris

The Purdue Drill Team, sponsored by Scabbard and Blade, became national champions for the second straight year by winning the invitational drill meet in the armory this fall. At this meet the team made a near perfect score by compiling 492 points out of possible 500. This score far outdistanced every other drill team competing. Our team is composed of seventy members of which only twenty-four compete at any drill meet. Our practices are held early in the morning. Through many practices, we are able to perform many intricate movements which require the perfection of each man.
