...closing competition in the current match of the Shooting Club attracted just an even dozen of the members to Watertown yesterday. The weather conditions were of the best, and the scoring was high, one member reaching double figures in the singles. Appended is the sammary of the afternoon's work, together with the winners and their aggregates...

As yet, we believe, scarcely more than a dozen men have handed in their subjects for parts. It is obvious that the more parts the instructors have to choose from, the better will be the commencement exercises of '85. This one fact alone ought to induce more seniors to write in the hopes that they will thereby improve...
