jBDoo- When asked, What does keeping fit mean to you?, many students in- terpret it as being in good physical condition. When questioned, Dick Rusche said, It ' s a personal feeling to each individual. Actually being physi- cally fit, means being able to go through a regular day without being physically exhausted from your daily activities. Talking to a few students, at Palm Beach Junior College, they seem to have daily routines in which they jog a half mile to a mile a day. Other students preferred swimming rather than jogging because they say, It ' s better exercise because you use every muscle in your body. Some students would rather participate in group sports. Besides the obvious physical benefit, they also like a chall- enge. Tennis, involving concentration, great legs and strong arms is a perfect example. Likewise, golf has many en- thusiasts who like being outdoors and use this sport as another means of keeping fit Diet is important and how you spend your leisure time. You should be active instead of sitting at home. Even though many students at PBjC are not sitting at home, many don ' t have the proper diet, quoted Dick Rusche. Although the students I talk- ed to seemed to have three meals a day, many of them skipped breakfast, and ate junk food for lunch, but had a good dinner that consisted of meat, vegetables, and fruit. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day since it gives you the energy to start the day right. Also, I found out that fish is al- most a forgotten food to some stu- dents since they prefer steak and chops. There are many ways of keep- ing fit and having fun at the same time. So grab your favorite partner and run a mile. 9 Scott Voipe

You Black Joyful Word Black as silk darkness of my raven nights The smile and profile You ' re a dreamful sight The smartness is nature itself wise with its beauty your sweetness is truly felt why look so innocent of what ' s in you Maintain little lady and be yourself you more than over-do My, your girlish style yes that can walk down any style aisle smile again and show that beautiful thin chin Again smile Profile, you sweet lovely words of joy. Someday the factory of man Will give you a beautiful strong boy You black joyful word how could one say good-bye With you in mind and soul It will be more like winter ice. J.T. Roberts Serenade When he with confined ardour sings I feel the very sou! within me springs. A brilliant light does spark within his eye; and quick changes all that once within was shy. Softly puring out soul, life, and loves As his quiet spirit takes the wings of doves.. Kathi Irish 4

' II III Intercollegiate What comes to mind when you hear the word softball? Probably the image of a person pitching a ball, or some- one running to catch that bail and get to the proper base in time, but there is far more work involved in softball than meets the eye. John Anderson, head coach of girls softball for the past two years; and assistant coach prior to that explains that the girls must run one mile before and after practice. To help the girls play so well, they must run one half mile any time an error is made. I am sure that few mistakes are made in that case, and it also would explain why the team has been so successful in the past. Last season ' s team consisted entirely of freshmen, and out of 54 games they won 33 times. In 1974, the team won the state championship and this season ' s team looks like a real winner as well. The softball season began February tenth, and will end April third. All the girls from last season will return, with the exception of three. Nadine Erb will do most of the pitching, and Lisa Turdo from Cardinal Newman will help out this season ' s team. With practice daily from three to five, I am sure the girls will all be in shape for the national competition in Ft Dodge, Iowa in May. This is the first time for junior colleges to partake in national competition. With fund raising events, practice and games; I am sure that these energy filled ladies will knock them all dead this season!! Debbie Ruday, coach of woman ' s golf, was proud in announcing that they came in fourth over fourteen schools in the Peggy Kirk Bell tournament on January 29 and 30. The team has been playing since September and will con- tinue through May. The woman ' s golf team is the only team that plays four year colleges as well as junior colleges. I am sure that their winning streak will last for the rest of the season. Nice going ladies!!!!! Men ' s golf started the 26th of February and will end the 30th of April, with state championships on May first and second, explains coach J im Simon. It looks like a good season ahead and we wish you all luck!!!!! 26
