FRENCH CLUB SR ' PAUL-BROWN rf: Il ARLY in the spring of 1907 the club called The Strollers was formed. It had always been a agfeilaitgiipleasure for many fellows to take long walks around the city,ril a1fgilfli'to attend out-of-town games of the different teams., so for this purpose club was organized. During the Easter vacation of 1910 a few of the members strolled to Philadelphia in the record time of 27 hours actual walking time. But the longest walk ever undertaken by this club was that to Albany. During the Easter vacation of 1907 a few of the members reached the Capitol in 38 hours of walking. About this time The Strollers found an efficient and active faculty adviser in Mr. Joseph Kahn, who had kindly consented to help further the good work of the society. During the past term the Strollers have visited Hackensack, East Orange, Poughkeepsie, Tottenville and Montclair. They have also had as their guests many well-known pedestrians who have given many interesting talks on the science and benefits of walking. . OFFICERS S Presidknzf ..... .......

H CLUB vf fill -IEW F ll lf je, -of ig All A ii .ir HE Commerce Gun Club Was organized very early, the aim being to carry out the desire of the school for actual riile shooting. Soon after the season opened in 1,908 the club joined the National Rifle Association of America. This association awards many medals and emblems to the Winners of competitions held under its auspices. It also holds rifle competitions in Which all of its constituent organizations may enter teams. As the membership of the Gun Club is limited to forty, only the best shots in the school can be admittedg therefore, all prospective members must be successful in the competitions held. A This year the club expects to enter teams in the various matches held by the N. R. A. We have the 'distinction this year ofnnhaving developed one of the greatest sharp-shooters the school has ever seen. He is Victor M'. Shapiro, the school boy champion sharp-shooter, who returned a perfect card to Commerce in all meets but one, Where he Was short but one point.
