RIFLE CLUB President Secretary-Treasurer Manager Team Captain Range Officer The Armour Tech Rifle Club, although one of the youngest organizations, is one of the most outstanding at Armour. It has lived up to its founder’s purposes; that of en- couraging competitive matches with teams throughout the country and the teaching of the safe use of fire-arms. Recognition by the A.T.A.A. in the award- ing of sweaters and letters and the support of the student body have shown that it is an integral part of Armour’s activities. The team, which is one of the best in the country, has been very successful in big time” competition. For the fourth consecu- tive year it is headed toward the Illinois State Championship. A little hard luck at the be- ginning of the season made it possible for the Humboldt Park Gun Club to win this year’s team trophy match. Steady improvement. Arthur Marow William Henning Richard Harwood Elmer Rcnstrom Joseph DeBoo however, showed victories over the New York Stock Exchange, Appleton Rifle Club, Ohio State University, University of Michi- gan, University of Minnesota, and Lawson Y.M.C.A. The Club’s equipment was materially strengthened by the acquisition of a new Winchester target rifle. With this addition, the use of the range has been extended to its full length. The range is now located in the basement of Chapin Hall. The Club participates in shoulder to shoul- der matches or exchange score cards by mail with those teams with which it is impossible to meet in personal matches. The Armour- ites favor the former type of competition. It is hoped that more of the future matches will be of this form. OFFICERS Hanes, Waldmann, Salt man, Bradac.

THE CAMPUS CLUB OFFICERS John A. Cramer President George H. Adrian Vice President Since 1927 the Campus Club, an organiza- tion open to all students of Armour, has offered the student an opportunity to culti- vate closer social contacts with those members of the college enrolled in other courses. The purpose of the club is to offer the student body a place where a general get-together may be held at various hours during the day. Due to the convenience of the club rooms, in Chapin Hall, one can always be assured of finding a fourth hand at bridge, a ping-pong partner, a fellow billiard player, or a chess companion. For those who care for none of the above mentioned amusements there are always numerous opportunities for a good old fashioned session, the choice of subjects being limited to practically everything under the sun, moon, or stars, depending upon the hour. During the baseball season the radio offers Walter H. Bottelsen Recording Secretary Fred J. Meyer Executive Secretary up to the minute results on the progress of the favorite teams, and a widely diversified opinion of the value of a favorite player gives abundant material for debate. Starting the social season with a bang the Campus Club in league with the social fra- ternities, entertained the Frosh with the an- nual Freshman Handshake. Following this successful event an initiate smoker was held in October; the enthusiasm resulting from this meeting caused several other smokers to be given. A new plan is being developed by the officers of the society which, if successful, will make possible more smokers in the near future. The club extends a hearty invitation to all visitors at all times. Come on up! Watch the exhibition ping-pong games, or join the members in a game of billiards, or bridge. The latch string is out.

TRUSS CLUB OFFICERS Leo J. McDonald ’ President Curtis W. Thomas Secretary Ralph W. Stahl Treasurer Prof. Charles R. Swineford Faculty Member As the present college year draws to a close, the Truss Club concludes its tenth year of successful operation as an organization on the Armour campus. The Truss Club was founded in the fall of 1924 by a group of Senior students in the department of Civil Engineering. The basic purpose of the organization is to unite men of good scholastic standing and good personal character into a closer union whereby mutual benefits may be derived by all, and to form a closer bond between Armour Institute and its members. The social calendar has been dotted with Alumni Smokers, Radio Dances, Bridge Part- ies, and get-together dinners. These activities were conducted in the club rooms because of the accommodations and because of the de- gree of informality which they afforded. These affairs provided evenings of real enter- tainment and enjoyment and afforded splen- did social contacts. The spirit of friendship and comradship manifested by the members has been invalu- able and has aided materially in drawing another pleasant year to a close. It is the aim and delight of the Truss Club to work in union with other organizations, work in harmony with the school, and to uphold the morale and broaden the scope of educational and social activities.
