Times being tough, the Cavalier members themselves took fund-raising into their own hands with "Family Fun Night". Clowns, games and sumptuous repast at "The Cavalier Cafe"' netted $1,000 on a $39 investment. The big money-making activity of the night was to hit Don Warren in the face with a whipped cream pie for a dollar (there was a long line).

Efforts to recruit experienced Corps members was an arduous task, but by early in 1960 the Corps was ready for 1960 field program. This year required a demanding preparation schedule. The Corps had a "Nationals" style commitment to the Preview of Champions show in Jersey City in May against Blessed Sacrament and the Garfield Cadets.

The intense training regimen required by the early season challenge bonded the many new men and existing veteran Cavaliers into a solid unit. This new generation of Cavaliers formed the base upon with the fabulously successful I 960's Cavaliers; dynasty would be built.

The 1960 season started on a somber note with the tragic loss of Terry Taylor, killed by a hit-and-run driver outside Cavalier Hall.

The 1960 season with all its ordeals developed into a successful one with the Corps earning a 17-4 record and recapturing of most of the show titles lost in 1959. While not winning a Nationals title in 1960, the Corps had maintained it's championship standing.
