However, these obstacles have fail- ed to dampen the enthusiasm of the boys forpiay- ing every afternoon that is possible. ' A few games have been played with town teams, and some may be played with the Light Red and Blue teams at the Academy. While almost the entire school is active in baseball, uniforms have been issued to the following boys:Joe Kerr, Lorry Wooldredge, Tom Guglielmo, Randy Gardner, Eugene Baker, Dick Taylor, Ralph 'and Francis Mulcahy, John Alden, Sandy Draper, and Charlie Lennihan. ' 1 SO? TBALL Though regular baseball has been cmdailed somewhat, softball has had a flourishing spring with one or two groups playing every evening the weather permits. Plans are being made as we go to press to form an intramural league that will have a team representing each form entered in a round- robin series of playoffs. 7

' M-W-M-+--Q-V---Q-Q---Tl-IE SIGN -+0-+-M----------'-S HV ' r' mtl RAM The annual ski-meet with the Tamworth High School team took place early in March at Tamworth, New Hampshire. Somewhat handicappedby a lack of practice, the Emerson team was defeated b the Tamworth team having an elapsed time of 228 lf5 seconds to Tamworth's 212 life seconds. Although the score was not in our favor the boys had an enjoyable and lnvigorating week- end. KA NGEK PROGRAM Reflecting the spirit of the times the school this year has established a closely coor- dinated program of work, physical training, and sports. A contest was held early in the year for the purpose of naming this new course and Ken Smith's suggestion of the NEuerson Rangersn was accepted. The Ranger program is based on amkiinite series of ranks through which a boy may advance by completing necessary requirements of work, physical skills, and sports. All boys start the program as privates and may through work and physical development attain sergeants'and lieu- tenants' ratings. To date a number of the boys are privates first class and a few are corporals. In instituting the program the schodl was divided into three groups, each of which was assigned one day a week to the work program, the commando course, and sports. The Ranger Program has proved an efficient and popular way of coor- dinating our work and sports activities. .1 4+
