[Ansteorra-archery] Students

[Susan Hill]

Probably the most appropriate term would be 'yeoman'. The word is, according 
to my Websters, derived from the Old English for young man and has been used 
to describe manservants in noble households, assistants or subordinates to 
such a position as sherriff, a small landholder, a british volunteer cavalry 
force used as a home guard beginning in the mid 18th century. Yeoman service 
is also considered to be exceptionally good, useful or loyal service or 
assistance.

We use Yeoman as a ranking, but it is proabably the most fitting term for 
these apprentice bowmen that I can find. Fledgling isn't so far off either, 
as it is used in Britain as another spelling for fletching.

In the beginning there were Knights.  After a period of time, they took 
Squires.  Then there were Dons. After a period of time, they took Cadets.  
Then in due time, there were Arcus-Majorisus.  And tonight became the time 
for them to start taking Students.  HL Talon of Blackoak, Ld. Robert of 
Yorkshire and Ld. Edward MacTavish, in the presents of the assemble populace 
at feast during Middleford's Ice Ax Tourney, became the Students of HL 
Gilbert Ost Westley.

Each of the new Students were given a red bracer with a black Ansteorran 
Star, which also had a black and green knot work around the sides and lower 
portion of the bracer.
