To S amz y Ric lub y ' 'zf i ACK in tho dim, doad days of last Septombor, Doylostown's sporting population . began to notico tho doods of tho Doylostown High School Ritlo Club. For, although it was but thc beginning of their first full varsity season, tho boys wore alroady showing signs of futuro groatnoss. And whon tho ond of tho yoar rolled around, sport. fans had become so accustomed to tho vertical position that it camo to bo aocoptorl as a matter of course. For, during tho ontiro soason, only one team was able to outpoint thom. Upper Darby, the second host toam in tho llnitod States, managod to nose out tho local rangomon in two closo matchos. Porhaps tho ohiol' roason for this prowoss is tho toam's excellent equipment and range. Their lvinchostor 52 riflos, with Marble-Goss sights, thoir shooting jackets, slings, and mittons aro scarcoly rivallod by any othor toam. These articles woro bought by the club itself, 'without aid from any other sourco. Tho lingo amount of ammunition nooossary for practicing was also purchasod by tho niombers. Rifle is but a rocont adnition to thc Doylostown High School sports calendar. How- evcr, it, has alroacly rison to tho lovol of a varsitv sport, and worthy nlombors have rocoivcd rogular varsity D's. Rifle is tho only varsity sport in which individual prowoss is all-important. Led by Captain Edward Ferris, thc mcmbors showod a surprising amount of this individual talent. Bill Lo VVorthy, woll-known as tho toam's most efficiont trigrgor and penny SQllCC76l , led thc scoring with a match avorago of 97 ll 13.

Junior Thilatelic Society HE Junior Philatelic Society, under the sponsorship of Mr. Forrest. S. Sowers, is com- pleting its second milestone. Since many of the members received valuable training the year before, they proved to be good leaders and the Stamp Club flourished under their able guidance. Bob Sigafoos proved his worth as a very capable president. Allen Histand was the vice-presidentg Joseph Steelman, treasurer, and Helen Snyder, a very efficient. secretary. Robert Hibbard was the club auctioneer. As a means of improving the individual collections, various members brought in their duplicates, which were sold at auction to the highest bidder. Ten per cent of the proceeds went to the treasury. Other funds were raised by the payment of dues. Some of the money was used to purchase a few stamp magazines, and some toward payment of the yearbook picture. The balance of the money was used for an outing held near the close of the school term. During the various meetings Mr. Sowers enlightened members of the Philatelic Society on the various phases of stamp collecting, including such topics as Value of Collecting, Importance of Condition,', What and How to Collectf' How to Start a Collection, Perforated and Imperforatcd Stampsf' Guide Lines and Gutter Blocks, Precancels and Watermarks, etc. In addition other collectors were called in to speak to the club and to display their collections. Many of the members made contributions in the form of talks on stamp articles, and quite a number displayed their collections for the benefit of the club members. Stamp collecting is the king of hobbies and the hobby of kings. Equally interesting and inexpensive, it appeals to rich and poor alike. There are over ten million stamp collec- tors in the United States alone. Standing: R. Hibbard, R. Gradwohl, H. Connery, P. Gehman, J. Palmer, S. Myers, J. Diehl, G. Hamil- ton, Mr. Sowers, Sponsor.

Gzrls ' z e lub OBODY knows the troubles we've had-nobody knows but us! Girls C-an't shoot straight! They'll rui11 any good gun! Well not let them use our guns, said the riflemen of last year. Don't believe a word of that. They finally gave us their eonsent to use their guns, after a hard-fought battle for women's rights. It was worth the struggle as is any battle, if you win. We sincerely want to thank the boys for being so helpful and cooperative after the battle.
