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

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

The yearly try- y outs, in which prospective members must present a dramatic skit or mon- ologue to be judged by the officers, were awaited with glee by the old mem- bers and with trepidation by the aspiring Barrymores. Trips to the legitimate theater were suggested to the members at various times during the year, and many went on their own initiative. Programs for the year consisted of several one-act plays as well as shorter dramatic entertainment given by members of the club. 30
