    The NAHS rifle team has accomplished more this year than did past winning teams. I believe this is their 3rd straight State Championship, and their score this year set a State record. That is quite an accomplishment.
    .
    It would seem that someone should put up a rational argument for the reinstatement of the Rifle Club. The safety classes alone were worth the membership. Also, it is where the rifle team acquired a number of new members.
    .
    It would seem that an argument for the reinstatement of the Rifle Team to a Varsity Sport should also be made. After all, the Olympics consider shooting to be a sport! I still have my Varsity sweater.

    I was looking on your website for the proper spelling of the name of an old NAHS alum, and I noticed the listing for ‘clubs’. The Rifle Club was, of course, missing, as I heard that it had been disbanded; so, I looked at the clubs that were listed. Six of them got my interest:
    .
    Dungeons & Dragons – Ms. Bronson
    Heavy Metal Music Club – Mr. Bradley
    Homer J. Simpson Appreciation Society – Ms. Ponder
    Magic: The Gathering Club – Mr. Flispart
    Underground Book Club – Ms. Koopman
    Yarn Club (Stitch and Enrich) – Ms. Fry
    .
    Except for the ‘Yarn Club’ the other five would have aroused the ire of the parents of my generation, not that I care. Hey, back in the day ‘Mad Magazine’ would have been considered fodder only for the ‘Underground Book Club’.
    .
    “Come on”, Homer Simpson? You’re pulling my leg…right? Homer Simpson, and NO Rifle Club? Get a grip!
    .
    What are your thoughts…for real?
