Thej C of1937 THE MENS RIFLE CLUB The first men's ride club in the history of this institution was formed last year, April, 1936, by a group of twenty-odd fellows. Mr. H. D. Grose, teacher, an expert rifieman who helped organize the famous Vloliet Rifle Club, was chosen sponsor. James B. Egan was instrumental in bringing the club into existence. The organization decided that it could dispense with having officers and none were elected. Each member purchases his own ammunition, and the guns and use of the range are furnished by the school. Most of the members had to learn target shooting from the ground up as it differs greatly from field shooting. Under Mr. Grose's expert tutelage this was accomplished, and some of the members became quite expert in punch- ing holes in the ten ring. With the commencing of school in September, the club immediately re- sumed activities. Mr. Grose did not feel equal to the joh of sponsoring the group. so Mr. L. B. Aseltine, another expert rideman, became the new sponsor. The club has met every Thursday eve- ning on the school range, and although no matches have been arranged at the time of this writing, it is expected that there will be a few before the semester is finished. At a recent meeting, the scores ran as follows: Freckleton, 131: llr. .-Xseltine, 171 : Egan, 160: Lundquist, 160: Arthurs 153: Sanclstrom, 1533 Mason. 150: and Steinquist, 168. All through the year lireckleton, Steinduist. and Mr. Aseltine have been consistent high scorers. Earlier in the season, when Sid Peterson was still attending school, he too, was a per- sistently high scorer. At one time he se- cured the use of the National Guard range for the club, but due to the trouble of transporting the guns, mats, etc., over there and back to the school. the organ- ization decided to resume shooting on the school range. Other members not in the picture in- clude Arthurs. Mason. Sandretto, Lund- ouist. and Cron. NQGN-DAY BASKETBALL The noon-day bashctball league was composed of four teams captained by Fred Patterson.
