At the present time the Club has a membership in excess of fifty, which is subdivided into four groups, according to the age and experience of its members. A membership fee of fifty cents is charged, the money thus raised being used to provide entry fees for the Club teams in various matches, which are entered during the year, as well as to provide various fittings for the range in the school basement, where the shooting is conducted. Arrangements are made for shooting on three nights of the week during the winter months, for the various groups, while the team practices and matches are held on Saturday mornings. Heretofore the only rifles used have been of .22 calibre, but this year, provision has been made for gallery practice with .303 Lec- Enfield military rifle, owing to the fact that the Rifle Club enters a team in the S.P.R.A. meet, which is held during the summer months. The Club entered teams in the C.R.L. match, the Bisley match, and the Dominion Cartridge Company, the Provincial Championship, and R.M.C. matches. The Club made a creditable showing in all these competitions, taking second, third, fourth and fifth places in the Provincial Championship match, and coming third in the Dominion in the R.M.C. match. The latter showing is especially creditable in view of the fact that the match is shot outdoors, at ranges of two, three and five hundred yards, with the military rifle, with which the members of the team had had 33

teams, is in full swing. The senior is composed of teams from IV AB, III AB, III CDF, II ABV, and II CDV, while the junior has teams from IA, IG, I FV, ICD, and IEB. The teams appear to be very evenly matched and which two will capture the coveted honors cannot be decided at the moment of writing. There appears to be some real good material this season for a school team. The pitching department, which ever since the days of Bill Falls, has been noticeably weak and the cause of many of our defeats, looks to be fairly strong this year and with material for the other positions shaping up well we expect to take both Campion and Regina Colleges into camp this spring. Our team deserves the support of everystudent at these games and we hope to see a good cheering section. ' COLLEGIATE R ATHLETES Twenty-three students were presented with their letter at Easter for making a school representative team, keeping up in their work, and being worthy of the honour. Seventeen others at present in school were given their letter in former years. But one or two of this latter number have not been allowed to represent the school this year on account of being down in their studies. The following have won their PCS either this year or in the past and are privileged to wear it on their sweaters: Acaster, Sil. Arnold, Florent Arnot, Jim Barrett, Reita Busch, Nicholas Carpenter, Stanley Carpenter, Paul Cassell, Harold Crapper, Roy Currie, Dorothy Deacon, Lorne Dojack, Dan Dutton, Owen Ellis, Ed. England, Gladys Erskine, Gerald Fowler, Joe Graham, Marion Graham, Hugh Hettle, Harry Howe, Fred Howe, Glover Johnson, Rose Johnson, Roy King, Bert lVIcAra, Graham McCallum, Jack McDougall, Alex. lVIcElmoyle, Wm. Mooney, Flora Nessman, Rose Peacey, Olive Pederson, Inez Pettingell, Florence Riach La Verne Thomson, Mary Veak, Roy Webster, Ervin Wagner, Ed. Wood, Desta Since the inauguration of the athletic letter three years ago, 64 boys and 38 girls have won the honor. This completes the record of the year's athletic activities. 1922-23 has indeed been a good one, but, with the help of students and teachers we expect to make 1923-24 an even better one. -J.G.E. 32

practically no experience. In addition to these competitions, a team was entered at the Provincial Rifle Meet, held during July. One member of this team, Cadet Garfield Mclnnis, was also chosen as a member of the Provincial Rifle Team which went to Ottawa, where Cadet Mcinnis was very successful. During the year several gold, silver and bronze pins, issued by the Dominion Cartridge Company for proficiency in shooting, were won by Club members. Strathcona medals were won by Jack Anstis and Luther Fritz and D.R.A. marksmanship medals by J. Anstis, G. Spooner, H. Hettle, G. Wood and F. Arnold.
