GOSSIP AND MORE
We had originally planned to publish two issues this year prior to March 15th. That is the date of the Sixth Annual Rapier Club Ball and Exhibition. The Columbia Rapier Club had planned successive advertising for these two issues. We have let the Club down by our slowness of publication and so feel duty bound to give it a free plug here to make up for the advertising it lost.
Frankly, this traditional affair has become the highlight of the fencers’ social season. The fencing exhibitions and entertainment are always of the best and fencers never fail to bring their friends and relatives to impress them with the high calibre of the sport. The Editor has witnessed a great many fencing exhibitions and participated in a goodly number too, but the Rapier Club Exhibitions have always had that “something” that puts them across with a bang and makes him feel, “I’m proud to be a fencer.”
Many a spectator has come to these Annual Exhibitions merely to take advantage of the pleasant dancing which climaxes these evenings. They have come away so interested in fencing that they are now annual attendants at these affairs.
Don’t fail to look up the advertisement elsewhere in this issue. Make a mental note of the date and reserve that evening for one of fun, instruction and frolic. They even tell me that there will be a terrific “surprise attraction.” Could it possibly be Armitage doing a sword dance atop a high wheel bicycle?
