A Stanford University R.O.T.C. cadet holds the City of Tacoma Achievement Award given to his school's Air Force unit on January 22, 1953. The award was given to Stanford for their performance in summer encampment at McChord AFB in 1952. The school whose representatives attain the highest degree of all-around proficiency at the summer R.O.T.C. camp at McChord wins the annual award. In 1952, there were two summer camps at McChord; the Oregon State College unit won the trophy for the first camp while Stanford received it for honors in the second camp. The cadet holding the trophy may be Cadet Major John McIntosh. (TNT 1-22-53, C-3, TNT 1-25-53, A-12))
