J! This year with the wartime emphasis on the saving of gasoline and the curtailment of un- necessary traveling, bicycling as a sport enjoyed increased popularity, The Bicycle Club was formed early in the fall and sponsored by Mr. Turner. Many trips were taken during the year on Sunday afternoons. The first real ride of the season was a trip to Newfields, one of the oldest towns in New Hampshire, with other shorter trips to Kingston, the dam outside Exeter, and numerous rides on the country roads outside of town. Thirteen boys turned out regularly for the Sunday rides: Dick Smith, Ed Tucker, Dick Marshall, Phil Horse, Sam Reynolds, Walter Cook, Steve Mandel, John Eater- house, Karl Pearson, Charles Haneock,Davii Ellis, and Joe Kerr. -00000-O O'IO O O'l 5-Qiiijiini as--f f'f3 aa- -A ---as K

' 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+
