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. Gordon Argyle, Bob Corcoran, and Ray McGrath. Each team played seven games, most of which were bitterly fought and won or lost by a close score.

Thej C of 1937 W. A. A. CFFICERS One of the most active organizations of tl. I. C. is the XV. A. A., and these tive women are its mainstay. These, with the cooperation of the members, are respon- sible for the introduction of badminton and the sport nights which both girls and boys, young and old, enjoyed so much. Do Chalstrom is president, and it was her splendid leadership that gave the club so much pep and enthusiasm. Amiable Mary Ellen Seamans is the club's vice-president and chief adviser. If you want something original and dif- ferent, ask Mary Ellen, for she is always willing. For that added touch of femi- ninity or just that bit of color, petite Phyllis Anderson is always called on, as she is the club secretary and artist. The girl who goes out for every sport and excels in all of them is Yirginia Lindblad, who is the head of sports. Mrs. Kirby needs no introduction, for she is well known in J. -I. C. and is held dearly in the hearts of all collegians. These otihcers served as the central committee for most of the important events of the XY. A. A. year. Important projects, besides regular sports activities, were the fall Harvest Moon dance. specialty numbers in the inter-class meet. tirst co-educational sports night, Canine Sports Day. and the annual Mother and llaughter lianquet. For harder workers, better planners and organizers you will have to go far. To these tive we do homage, for they made the year '36 and '37 a grand success for the XY. A. AX.
