Because of inability to secure suit
able range for purposes of practice, the
George Washington University Rifle Club
will not enter the intercollegiate indoor

being able to obtain the National Guard
range for practice purposes. but these
plans were shattered when it was found
that the range could not be secured for

free to use it.
The club will not disband, however. 1t

Per Aspera.

A winning smile distorts my
phiz, cen while the jumping
rheumatic is scorching through
nv bones; for I discovered long
ago it doesn't pay to voice ones
woe, and fill the air with groans.
Not Spartan is this soul of mine;
bv nature I'm inclined to whine,
when | am sick or sore; my i'm
pulse is to tear my hair, to shed
the briny and to swear, and make
myself a bore. Experience has
shown to me that if man wants
sympathy, when he is out of luck,
he'll make the scalding teardrops
cease a-rolling down his frontis-
piece, and show some signs of
pluck. And sympathy, my friends,
is sweet, when one has collie in
his feet, or gout all up his back;
It's good to see his friends come
in and praise him for his cheerful
grin that does not jump the track.
The man who grins and bears his
pain in course of time will surely
gain fine and fair renown; the
story of his dauntless front when
rheumatism did its stunt will
travel over town. Then men will
say he is a jo, because he faces
pain and woe with calm and
steadfast eye; and lovely DANES
will bring him jam, and chicken
broth and deviled ham, and slabs
of pumpkin pie So, selfshly, I
jog along, and try to croak a
cheerful song, and stop the flow
of brine: and as | hobble on my
crutch, l say, They don't amount
to much, these doggone aches of
mine!' WALT MASON.

''Old times" were recalled, plans for the
occupancy of the new Central High School
building when it is finished and ways in
which the Alumni Association can help
the school were some of the matters dis
cussed when the Central High School
Alumni Association held its annual re-
union at the school yesterday afternoon
Ernest l.. Thurston, superintendent of
schools and a graduate of the class of
1889, explained that the new Central is
to be the. first high school in Washington
to offer a wide variation of courses. He
wished, he said, that one room in the
new building might in way typify the
old building. He urged the alumni to
think of the school when it is in the
new building as the school which was
their school, although on another site. He
also urged the alumni to remember that
the school would be judged largely by
the actions of the alumni

Alumni Association should have for it's
object more than mere social meetings.

to erect buildings. but it could establish
one or more scholarships in colleges
