Who knows?! Maybe those informal French class meeting also will develop into something .... The members have now widened their horizons somewhat. A new firearm has come to their interest, the rifle, and the original Pistol Club has taken the name, the Pi tol and Rifle Club. Shooting teams were formed, both for men and the girls, and numerous matches occurred outdoors in the fall and spring and indoors in the winter. Frequent trips were made to the Square Deal Rod and Gun Club Range for pistol practice for these marches. We wonder who won? ... the boys or the girls? Other ae£ivities also included a talk by Endicott Police Chief leroy Wike and formal instruction by Binghamton Police Range officers.
