Members of the R.O.T.C. at Bellarmine High School march in formation and the color guard carry the R.O.T.C. and United States flags in this photograph from May of 1950. The rifle team brought considerable publicity to the private school and city by winning second place in the Sixth Army intercollegiate and interscholastic rifle matches, small bore; second place in the William Randolph Hearst rifle competition in the Army area; and sixth place in the entire United States. Bellarmine won 10 out of 11 pistol matches with other high school R.O.T.C. units against which they competed. Ordered by Tacoma Athletic Commission, E. Metcalf. (TNT, 5/12/1950, p.D-7)
