Shooting
from July 1935

for section competition. Sgt.-Major Puddick, however, finds time to put a guard for camp through a rigorous training.
It is a great relief to everybody except Sgt.-Major that the Corps is going to Rushmore this year. A change was hoped for after two successive years at Strensall ; and it is gratifying to note the low number of Cade:s trying to get off camp. As one has to attend two camps before getting a Certificate " A," it is well worth going, apart from the fact that it is very good fun.
The Band, under Drum-Major Stephenson, has put in a lot of work, and as a consequence of their vast improvement they have been entered for the Band Competition at camp.
The following is a roll of N.C.O.'s :— C.S.M. : J. M. Atkinson. C.Q.S.M. : N. L. Dodd. Sergeants : M. P. L. Wall, J W Stead, A. W. Douglas, D. W. Watson,

Although there have been no School shooting fixtures this term, interest has been well maintained by the competition for the best individual shot, the section shooting competition, and the inter-House shooting.
E. Antrobus won the best individual shot, scoring 112 out of 120. P. N. Baines, the holder, was beaten by a point, being second with 111. The latter may claim to be one of the best shots ever produced by the School ; besides his score of 111 in the best individual shot competition, he had scores of 115 in the inter-House shooting, and of 117 while practising. The latter is the highest ever scored in the School range.
The inter-House shooting cup was won by the School House with a score of 399, the Rise being second with 382.
The scores and teams were as follows :— School House (P. N. Baines, 115 ; J. M. Atkinson, 102 ; R. S. Dixon, 97 ; J. B. Dixon, 85)—Total, 399. Clifton Rise (J. Dickinson, 103 ; R. White, 100 ; D. McLean, 95 ; E.
