K The Colonial Pistol Club was organized in 1949 and the first business meetings were held informally in the cafeteria. Who knows?! Maybe those informal French class meetings also will develop into something .... The members have now widened their horizons somewhat. A new firearm has come to their interest, the rifle, and the original Pistol Club has taken the name, the Pistol and Rifle Club. Shooting teams were formed, both for men and the girls, and numerous matches occurred outdoors in the fall and spring and indoors in the winter. Frequent trips were made to the Square Deal Rod and Gun Club Range for pistol practice for these matches. We wonder who Won? . . . che boys or the girls? Other activities also included a talk by Endicott Police Chief Leroy Wike and formal instruction by Binghamton Police Range officers.

pin topplers Boys and girls, profs and proteges-it's all evens on Friday afternoons when these Harpurites get together on the K. of C. alleys to bowl. All distinctions, except for pin handicaps, are symbolically brushed away at the start, through a strange ritual in which each of the devotees covers his fingers with chalk. They then begin hurtling the mincralites down the alleys, at the same time gyrating through a series of move- ments called Body English, and issuing forth with lusty shouts of fore, or track, or whatever it is you holler at the pin boy. The Harpur ten pin circuit has some 40 aficionadox of the art with averages ranging from ISS fgood, they tell us,j to 7+ fanyway, you meet a lot of nice peoplej. Weekly prizes are awarded to the pin topplers for men's and women's high single and tripleg an annual trophy is given in each of these categories at the end of the year. Season's end is also marked by the yearly keglers' ban- quet. At this affair, che aforementioned trophies are passed out, to the accompaniment of much welkin-ringing, average- comparing and food-eating.
