Learn to Fence
In Spare Time

One OF the oldest methods OF
warfare, outside Of throwing rocks
Is fencing. II is practiced daily
by four members OF the 3s6th
Technical School Squadron her, at
Keesler Field.
Four instructors in the AM
School. Corp. Charles r. Sand
ford, Pies. Isadore Daniels, Mars
ton K. Reed and Edward G. Repar,
comprise the fencing school. Fenc-
ing master is Private Repar. only
member Of the group who had
ever fenced before. He learned the
art at the University Of Chicago.
The idea OF learning to fence
originated while the men we're
in quarantine Pooling their money
they bought four complete fencing
outfits at si395 apiece and, after
three months OF waiting for the
ordered equipment to come. three
of them fenced for the first time.
The equipment, like modern fight
ing equipment, was hard to get
and had 10 come from several diff
ferent sporting goods companies
at twice the pre-war price. To-
gether they got four masks, four
foils and four extra blades.
After watching Privates DAN
iels and Reed go after each other
IL isn't hard 10 see how two OF the
four blades have been broken, for
they lunge and dodge with deter
mined intent Fortunately, foil
has a blunt tip--no cutting edge
and fencers wear masks, otherwise
Daniels and Reed would have been
counted out long ago in these man.
euvers. They can only stand the
pace 20 or IS minutes at a time.
Wrists and ankles must be strong
and legs must become accustom-
ed TO the crouching stance OF the
fencer and his quick thrusts for
ward.
