A few weeks after the season opened it joined the National Rifle Association of America, whose headquarters is in Washiiigton, D. C. This association Offers many medals and emblems to its members, besides holding many rifle matches in which all its affiliated organizations may enter teams. As the membership is limited to forty, and as all new mem- bers can only enter if they are successful in the competitions held for prospective members, this organization has only the best shots in the school in it. The Club expects to enter a few teams in the various matches held by the National Rifle Association of America 3 let us hope that they will bring many trophies home to Commerce. A few of its members go along with the Riiie Team tO the Twenty-second Regiment Armory on Friday afternoons for practice. Besides this, the Club has gone to the Creedmore Ranges and also to Captain Corwin's Ranges for practice. In this way its members are developing into crack shots. The National Riiie Association Of America gave a medal to the Club to be competed for. After a very spirited contest Charles Vogell, '1 1, came out with the best total, thereby winning the medal and the rifle championship of Com- ?

The members con- tinued the work of their predecessors by making visits to different plants and places of interest, such as the Supreme Court, the New York Ififorld, the New York Herald. and to the City National Bank. At all these places the members were shown about, gathering facts of interest as they went along. A visit was made to the giant ocean liner, the Lasi- tafzia. Here the members inspected the massive machinery, the different -staterooms, the kitchen and other departments, and nothing of importance escaped their notice. The Club was edilied by visits to the VVaterman Fountain Pen Comany, where they saw how fountain pens are madeg to the Dixon Crucible Company, where pencils, crucibles and allied products are manufacturedg and to the American Thermos Bottle Company, where the Thermos hot and cold bottles are made. The Club has planned to visit the Royal Typewriter Company, the New York Silk Mills, and other places of interest to Commerce students, to find out how the different products of these companies are manufactured. The members are greatly indebted to Mr. Healey for the attention and time he has given to the welfare of the Club. Sept. lo Feb. SAMUEL Psrvizel, ,II J. SCHADER, 'II TSIDORE SACHS, 'II Mr. H. G.
