Hawthorne Continues Mastery Over Srs.

DCN June 19, 1963

NEW HAVEN, CONN., June 8 - The HAWTHORNE CABALLEROS continued their reign over the top Senior Corps of the country by defeating all comers at the 5th Annual 'Music in Motion' contest held here tonight. The show, which was jointly sponsored by the Connecticut Hurricanes and the New Haven Junior Chamber of Commerce, featured five of the top names in Senior competition.

Most notable facts about the results were that the scores were exceptionally low and that Hawthorne did not trounce their competition by as large a margin as they have maintained in the past. Only the Caballeros and runner-up Yankee Rebels broke 80.

The scores and Corps:
1. Hawthorne .................... 82.296
2. Yankee Rebels ............... 80.636
3. Reading Bucs ................ 78.686
4. Interstatesmen .............. 76.16
5. Princemen ..................... 74.85

Special trophies were also awarded in several captions. Hawthorne scored a double victory by taking home the high G.E. presentation, while Best Drum Major was that of the Yankee Rebels and the best Color Guard Laverne Rohrbach's Reading Buccaneers.

The show was rounded out by exhibitions of the host Hurricanes and the Conn. Royal Lancers Jr. Corps of Bridgeport.
