' Fitness ' Leads To Racquetball Raquetball, one of America ' s favorite fitness pastimes, was enjoyed by Northsiders every Thursday at 3 f or about $3 every time they went. Each member of the Racquetball Club got a chance to play the other members and move up the ladder, and then a tour- nament was held to see who would fill the top spot. Mr. Ted Crum, club spon- sor, enjoyed working with the club and hopes that in the next year even more people would join in to share in the fun.
