Season spoiled by rain Vlother Nature causes game rain outs Baseball was slow in getting tarted due To all The rain in The urea. Mother Nature seemed To znow The exact days The boys ere To play. Although she man- ged To drown most of The ames, The boys did play Three eams. This included The Emporia, Even some of The games that were postponed were rained out again. Practice was difficult with a soggy infield and a lake for an outfield. l'We didn'T give up. We've en- countered worse incidents.

Dy QQQHTT so 1 Vi xjxfg ---.-..,-, Fitness . . by Maria Snell it is hard to say how and when the physical fitness craze began, but it was quite some time ago. A partial contribution has been the alarming number of people affect- ed by smoking, overeating, and ill- ness. Doctors urged people to im- prove both their physical and men- tal health by exercising: Thus the craze blossomed nationwide. Not only did this affect a persons health, but it also affected his at- tire. Sweatsuits were no longer for high school and college athletes. Grandmas and grandpas now en- joy the comfort of sweats and run- ning shoes. Jogging, walking, and exercising are not a passing whim in America: in fact, they are an important part of the United States' future. This craze is unique from most otherffads in The aspect that it has tasted so long. Another major point is the positiveness it has brought out in people. . . .
