Scope and content
Jack McLin, advisor, stands with Rifle Club members outside the steps of Lincoln High School on April 12, 1957. The Rifle Club at Lincoln had a long tradition of safety in shooting. It was established in 1927 and since then, had had no record of accidents. Each member was careful when shooting, in practice or in matches, and all new members were instructed by old members on the proper use of firearms. Generally the club shot at a range of 50 yards, nearly always holding matches indoors. Lincoln participated in a league with teams from Stadium, Clover Park, Everett, Franklin Pierce, Sumner and Puyallup. The Girls' team finished first in its league. Photograph ordered by the Lincolnian yearbook. (1957 Lincolnian, p. 110)
