About two hundred men were members of the club the first year, and nothing could have been more conducive to good fellowship and fraternalization than this club. The ochers elected the first year were: R. W. Taylor, president; B. M. Trew, secretary; E. 0. Evans, treasurer; Mr. Stanley Runck, range oHicer. B. M. Trew left school shortly after this election, and A. G. Decatur finished the year as secretary. The second year the same men were again elected and served diligently and faithfully. The third year was much harder, as so many men had left School, new men coming in, and studies were getting harder for the men who stayed, thus leaving less time for rifle practice. The civilian stud- ents showed no desire to take up the sport. But at a meeting of the Club in Whetstone Hall, September 18, 1923, officers were elected and resolutions to carry on were adopted. The omcers elected were: Mr. Stanley Runck, president; Edward Ottensmeyer, Vice-president; Burl Mansberger, treasurer; Mr. John M. Russ, rahge officer, a member of the faculty; Earl L, Jackson, sec- retary. Ammunition was requisitioned and issued, and firing resumed. Some excellent shooting was done by Mr. Russ, using a Smith KL Wes- son 38-caliber, D. A. revolver. He has Jesse James, Bill Hart, and all the other old-time gun slingers backed off the range. We are all thankful that he doesnlt shoot math at us in the man- ner that he throws lead at the targets. We feel that the club has done a good work in bringing together men who do not meet in class and who probably Would remain strang- ers to each other if it was not for their common love of shooting. Of the sport itself, we could write a book, and not do justice to our subject, but we feel that the sport is so well known, we shall say only that, in our opinion, it has no equal, indoors 01' in the fields. In closing, we wish to add that our only regret is that so few civilian studentsl names appear on our roll, and that we desire more hearty co-operation from them next year. They will never regret a moments time spent on the range, for we know that once taken up, the sport will always retain their enthusiasm. Earl L. Jackson AFTER RIDING ONE FLOOR
