This year saw the formation of a Girls' Rifle Club at Vestal. The club was under the supervision of Mrs. Rose Tracy. The girls shoot three afternoons a week in the new range under the Clayton Avenue School. The girls were taught the fundamentals of rifle shooting, the nomenclature of a rifle and how to shoot accurately, during lecture periods. At the range they took turns shooting, im- proving their scores, and scoring the targets. They helped to paint the range, to make the mats and charts, and to help keep the range neat and clean.
