ST. LOUIS
A Soiree de Gala on November 8 opened the new St. Louis fencing center sponsored by the fencers of St. Louis. The new hall accommodates four fencing strips and represents a long step forward in the local division’s plan to popularize fencing in that area.
Tracy Barnes has been elected chairman of the center with Ervilla Droll as secretary and treasurer. The management committee consists of George Curtis, Miss Droll, Robert Witte, Charles Morgan, and Alan Beck. The decision to establish a center was made at a meeting of the board of governors of the St. Louis Division of the A.F.L.A.
One of the features of the Soiree de Gala was the first demonstration of the division’s new electric epee machine.
Of course St. Louis is very proud of its girls’ foil team which cleaned up in Chicago on November 24th. (Turn to the Illinois News and read all about it.)
