The tradition of chivalry is -bout at Magnet The baron sprang into action, at- tacking his opponent with a powerful thrust. “Thou hast offended me for the last time! But this time I shall be the victor!” he shouted to the duke. His chest heaved for air. But he was determined not to stop until his hon¬ or was protected . . . Many of our fencers must have had similar visions of the days when fencing was not simply a gentle- man ' s sport but a matter of life and death and honor. Under the coaching of Sharron Settlemire, Greg German, Rod Matthews, and David Logan qualified for the 1986 Junior Olym- pies as a sharp resuit of much prac- tice and dedication. Indeed, life or limb is not at stake for fencing competitors, but honor is stili very much a part of this popular Magnet sport. Officers are Secretary Susan Ganley, Vice-President Greg German. President Roderick Matthews, and Treasurer Brian Dulle. Fencers David Logan. Brad Eddings, John Vassar, Mark Walker, and Roderick Matthews are on deck to demonstrate their fencing techniques.
