He said the primary reason for dropping baseball is that the new semester system leave* less time for baseball. He said, “There is less de mand for baseball now due to the early system. There is a lack of time for baseball between spring holidays and the start of exams. “Also, we have no baseball scholarships and it has been difficult for us to compete, with any degree of success, in the AT BANK OF CLINTON YOU CAN COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY'RE HATCHED . . .

Visitors are invited to shoot in the Visitors’ Class, and specta tors are welcome. The local club was organized in 1967 with 10 members, and now totals sixteen. Modest member ship fees are required. Jerry King of Shands Street is president, and Jerry Hendrix of Skyland Drive is secretary-trea surer. Members of the Clinton Club have won several trophies in both indoor and outdoor events since 1967. Young people are en couraged to come along with the adults. Looking back to the ‘good old days’ of archery, Charles II re vived archery as a Court recrea tion in 17th century England. About the time Charles Town (S.C.) was settled, archery was introduced in America, and flourished from that time on as a popular sport. By 1879, its popu larity led to the formation of the National Archery Association. There are four divisions: target, field, flight, and crossbow shoot ing. “You don’t have to be Robin Hood, Maid Marion, or William Tell to find the sport a wonder fully relaxing pastime,’ says Jerry King. “It can be enjoyed by the whole family. We all look forward to free afternoons and weekends when members of the Broken Arrow Archery Club all get together for exhilirating mo ments of a wholesome group sport."

Joe Perma, who was a sagacious comic of the thirties, had a famous saying: “Monkeys is the craziest people.” Now in the enlightenment which has come to us through the ensuing years, it is obvious that the peculiar insanity which Mr. Penna assigned to monkeys is not limited, but rather extends full force into the human race as well. It is most graphically demonstrated in the antics of sports enthusiasts who are generally called fans. This word alone should be a clear indication of the dementia besetting those who follow their idols into the various stadia of the country, ¥ 4 4 Happy Sort- Of Neuroticism Fans is a vulgarized form of fanatics, and certainly most of the people who were in Charlotte last week for the Atlantic Coast Conference Basket ball Tournament were afflicted with a serious psychosis. It is a happy sort of neuroticism from which the basketball fans suffer. Even in going down to defeat with his team, the basketball buff manages to savour a peculiar sort on excruciating delight. In victory, one might observe men and women of mature years and deeply lined countenances whooping with the wild abandon usually expected from the unrestrained young. To me, it was one of the refreshing experiences of the year. When every headline bodes ill, frequently too awful to contemplate, how good It is to see multiplied thousands of people, huddled together in close proximity, enjoying themselves just as though the world were not poing to hell in a handbag. It ought to happen more often in our part of the country.
