J IFLE Club members, while they have had their chances to drill holes through conventional paper tar- gets at meets and at the rifle range, preferred this year to test their marksmanship by hunting rats in assorted town dumps. Besides ridding the towns of a danger- ous menace, the boys developed the quick reflex action and deadly aim necessary to hit a moving target. The favorite weapon in this unique sport, say the experts themselves, was a .22 Martin Lever Action rifle. Practice gained in rat-chas- ing should go a long way toward making Mr. Meyers’ Rifle Club a top team. 28

Under Miss Ames’ careful management, The Bookworms’ library has grown apace until it y includes enough different volumes to suit the taste of the most discern- ing bibliophile. The annual Christmas party was full of fun and food, with Mr. Mac lending his support in the way of entertainment. Though not given to tooting its own horn, the Bookworms’ Club nevertheless offers its mem- bers a chance to enjoy both the time-tested classics and the latest best-selleis at probably the lowest price available anywhere. 27

Some ardent skiers took y off anyway for the snowy heights via the weekly snow train to North Con- way, while the rest meditated morosely on unused boots and poles. With Mr. Smith’s aid, the club was able to take advantage of speakers available to stay- at-home skiers. At several meetings there were movies of experts going perpetually down-hill with grace and speed, inspiring the viewers with hopes of achieving sim- ilar feats as soon as they came within grabbing distance of the next tow. 29
