We echo the wish of your editor that so fine a paper deserves support and should certainly be published more than twice a year.-High School Recorder.

THTE GARNET AND GRAY 25 record time. Weeks passedg April, May and nlost of June slipped by. Then when it availed us nought, our various implements began to arrive. By September all was in readiness. Last spring, due to the courtesy of several local National Guard officers, five or six meetings were held on the rifie range at Rensselaer, where we used rifles and ammunition loaned to us by the guard. Since September, the club has held weekly practice on the range in the Tenth Regiment Armory on Washington Avenue. In fact, permission has been secured from Colonel Walsh to have the range available for an indefinite period. This spring we expect to betake ourselves to the outdoor range at Rensselaer where it is hoped some record shooting will be done. At the present time, this club has the permission of Dr. Pratt to exist under the name of The Albany High School Rifle Club, but we do not represent the school officially, as we are not connected with the Athletic Association. It is to be hoped that we will be recognized as a sport before the close of school in June, and that a rosy future is in store for this latest venture in the school's athletics. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Frank S. Dowlingg Vice-President, Alfred Ludlum, Secretary, George A. Mills, -lr.g and Mr. Stanley E. Heason, Executive Officer and Faculty Adviser. FRANK S. DOWLING ART CLUB The Albany High School Chapter of Arts, a recently organized society is progressing rapidly with a membership of sixteen. lt is a Chapter of the American Federation of Arts, Washington, D. C. The first meeting was held on February 13 and officers were elected and a constitution drawn up. The aim of this chapter is to increase the knowledge of art in the com- munity. Mr. Leon L. Winslow, Specialist in Art and Industrial Arts Educa- tion in New York State, gave an interesting talk on the line of work the society expects to follow. Miss Ella -I. Graham, Head of the Drawing Department will act in the capacity of advisor. The officers are President, Miss Marian Weeberg Secretary-Treasurer, Miss Frances Buckley, Reporter, Miss Catherine Kies. Can you imagine t Mr. Southerland with a moustache? Miss Winne terribly cross? Peggy Frost losing her nerve? A quiet senior class meeting? Donald Pratt unaccommodating? I One thousand A. H. S. students at a football, basketball or baseball game ? ' Edna Nellegar living in Cuba? Marion Van Loon without Ray Flood? Earle Whitbeck not asking the senior class for dues?
