Christian Athletes learn from spiritual discussion The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a club at North that few people know about. They donit sponsor roller skating parties, nor do they sell bagels and cookies. Their meetings are on Wednesday evenings after everybody else has gone home, but the FCA is very important to many people. It allows young men to share their faith with their fellow athletes, and it gives these men spiritual preparation that is so necessary in facing the world after high school. At their weekly meetings, the FCA members go over business matters and then study and discuss a scripture reading from the Bible. This year the FCA has about 25 members and their sponsor is Mr. Raymond Ritter. Aside from their weekly meetings, they have car washes and speak to different church groups. They helped sponsor the November Pancake Supper, and some members go to an annual summer seminar. Activities 99
