THE EASTERNER 15 our Alma Mater has shown her su- periority over the other high schools in this particular branch of student activity. We are proud that we are graduates of such a school as old Eastern. And being such, we wish to congratu- late the man who has won the victory this year, and also the faculty and stu- dent body, the former on being able to turn out such men, the latter on having such men among its numbers. May this achievement so stimulate the hearts and minds of the whole under- graduate body, that you shall not be satisfied until the name of Eastern stands for supremacy in every thing connected with high school life. And by imparting this spirit to those who shall come after you, may you build up a name for the light blue and white which shall never be forgotten by those who come in contact with her.

Be Near the end of last year ata meeting of the Rifle Club the following officers were elected: President Schwartz, Sec- retary H. C. Graves, Treasurer Floyd, and Captain Barkman. ‘Treasurer Floyd did not return this year, therefore at the first meeting this year Harvey Johnson was elected to fill the vacancy. At this meeting Mr. Schwartz told the club that the rifles, which had been re- turned to the War Department to be re- paired, would be returned to the club ina few days. As soon as these are received practice will begin. In addition to the N. R. A. prizes, which are given every year, two new decorations have been offered to the members of the club. The prizes are the “Proficient Shot’s Ribbon” and the “Perfect Score Ribbon,” and are to be presented to the fellows who make the qualifying scores. Miss Boyd: McEllhannon, where did you come from? Mac: From Mr. Schwartz's room. Miss B.: You'll have to go up to As- sembly Hall and get a permit first. Mac: Have to go all the way up there? Miss B.:; Oh, no, just go up half way and it will drop down the other half.
