For being the eighth best shot in about one hundred and fifty, Capt. Dudgeon also won a bronze medal. At noon we were given our dinner at the ranges, a regular Jiggs and Dinty Moore special, consisting mainly of corned beef and cabbage, served on some old tin plates which had not been washed since the previous year. We slept at the barracks that night but did not get our meals there, after we were told by a rather offensive look- ing individual that there were lots of restaurants down town. Next morning we arrived back in Guelph, after having had a real good two-days outing. Shooting on the indoor miniature ranges has been in operation since last November. During the winter a team shot in the Laura Secord Competition. Another team composed of Cadets Large, Brook, Garrison, Pitman, Card. Broadfoot, Lowry, Phelan, Rudd, Dud- geon, Sloan and Hammond, shot the winter matches of t-he D.C.R.A. series. which run for three months. The gold medal for the highest score goes to John Dudgeon, while C. Sloan will re- ceive a second class medal. A silver spoon donated by the Club was won in February by C. Sloan, and the one for March by Lorne Lowry. Shooters who have won Dominion Marksmen's badges this year are: Gold, C. Sloan and J. Dudgeong Silver, D. Dudgeong Bronze, J. Card, G. Large, K. Brooks.

ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 -1-5 Our Literary Society Our nineteen-twenty-five and twenty-six Literary Society has been a great success, and has surpassed all previous records for real enthusiasm. It is now looked forward to with an eagerness which speaks volumes for the class of pro- grammes presented. Our Society provides pleasant recreation as well as a spirit of competition in our social life: without it something essential would be lacking. This year's Society has, we hope, done its full assignment of work in giving us better en- tertainment and a knowledge of how such a society should be conducted. G, C,-V.
