Rifle Adviser: Dallas Lore Sharpe, lr. Officers: President, Doris Cushing: Secretary-Treasurer, William P. Gotmbley. Members: lulia Borden, Doris Cushing, Iohn Donovan, William Gormbley, Ruth lorgenson, Milton Lyons, Katharine McBrien. The Rifle Club was organized to enable interested students, both men and women, to meet together and learn the fundamentals of small bore shooting under the guidance of experts in the field, namely, Mr. Larry Leete, Mr. Red Brown and Mr. Wm. Chisholm, all members of the Wonder Rifle Club of Springfield and well known marksmen. Weekly range practices are held during the school year at the Wonder Rifle Range in Indian Orchard at which time the coaches give brief talks on safety, mechanical aspects of good shooting, rules and regulations of match shooting and riflemenship. Each Thurs- day night the air at the range is filled with smoke and adjectives as the shooters pull the triggers and, strange as it may seem, this year's records show that the girls have sort of led the men. This year also the club felt strong enough to accept several challenges from other rifle clubs in this vicinity. Although the club failed to win any of these matches, the results were close enough to show that the club is progressing and that next year it will be able to hold its own with the best of them. l06
