On March 22 the elementary students launched balloons with messages asking balloon finders to put the message in an envelope with their name, address, city, state and telephone number of where the message was found. The first response was from Ottawa, Ohio, when the balloon of Jason King, third grade student, was found. The second response received was from Stryker, Ohio, and the finding of fifth grade student Jim Adams’ balloon. The balloon launch is part of a writing pals balloon contest through Weekly Reader in which the farthest-traveled card from a school is sent to the Weekly Reader office. The school submitting the card that traveled the greatest number of air miles before being found will receive SSOO. There will be 100 runner-up prizes. Shown in the photo is King and Adams pointing to the towns in which their balloons were located. (Photo by Deb Patterson)

There’s no doubt about it. Every year, more and more Americans participate in sports and fitness activities. They have many goals: improved fitness, weight loss, more energy, better health or to improve in their favorite sport. Yet, when surveys report on the number of people who exercise regularly at levels vigorous enough to achieve these goals, the number of true participants drops. You see, it takes a little more than just a weekly game of

tennis or an occasional swim to become fit. First, to improve the fitness of your heart and lungs, it is necessary to do some form of cardiorespiratory endurance exercise at least three times each week for a minimum of 20 minutes each workout. This form of exercise, known as aerobic exercises, uses large muscle groups and requires a lot of oxygen. As your heart pumps hard to bring oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, it gets stronger and healthier. Some popular aerobic exercises are walking, jogging, swimming, aerobic dancing, cycling and cross-country skiing. Muscular strengthening exercises are also important. Strong muscles are less likely to be injured and they make it easier to do endurance exercises for extended periods -of time. Also, strong abdominal muscles help prevent lower back pain, which is a common problem today. The most popular way to build strength is with equipment. Muscle strength is increased when you make a muscle group work harder than it normally does. This usually means performing

WHS seniors think about life after high school
I By NEVIN DULABAUM Staff Writer With 31 days left in the school year, most WHS seniors are thinking about life after high school. However, for approximately 20 seniors, life after high school will hopefully includecollege, which means they will have to do well on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). In order to prepare for the test, the 20 are attending a two-day workshop this week at WHS. The test is vital for any individual who would like to attend a college or university, as the scores will help determine whether or not students will qualify for acceptance to their institution. The two-day course is being taught by Rick Thomas, a guidance counselor at Yorktown High School, and met for the first time last evening. Last night Thomas reviewed the SAT with the enrolled students, explaining various test taking techniques. Thomas also described the general makeup of the SAT, and then reviewed three major components, including math, verbal and standard written English.
an exercise eight to ten times (this equals one set) and doing a total of three sets with a brief rest between each one. Finally, no program is complete without flexibility exercises. Stretching all the major muscle groups on a daily basis is important to ease such health problems as lower back pain and possibly arthritis. When your muscles and joints are flexible, you are less likely to get injured and you will feel better overall. Always remember to warm up your body before doing any type of vigorous exercise or before you do your stretches. Walking in place, arm circles, knee lifts and other limbering exercises raise the temperature of your muscles and make it easier, and safer, for you to do your workout. At the end of your workout, gradually come to a stop so that you don’t put too much stress on your heart. Stretch as part of your cooldown also, to relax your muscles and help improve flexibility. For more information, write to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, Dept. 87, Washington, DC 20001.
Marilyn Curtiss, guidance director at WHS, said the students then finished last night’s session by taking a sample SAT, which will be discussed during tomorrow night’s class. Curtiss said the students who are participating in the course will have at least a few weeks to study on their own, as the test will be offered nationally on May 7
OFFALOT Kindergarten Program teaches about energy conservation
The president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs/Ladies of the Round Table, a member of the GFWC/Indiana Federation of Clubs consisting of a membership of over 6,000 members, announces a plan whereby all Indiana kindergarteners can be taught that energy is “finite.” The GFWC/Indiana Federation of Clubs, a member of the largest international women’s volunteer organization, namely the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, has been awarded a $105,000 grant form the Indiana State Department of Commerce and Energy Commission to implement energy awareness through the OFFALOT Kindergarten Program. This project is endorsed, not only by the Energy Commission, but also by the Department of Education. OFFALOT is a furry animallike creature that turns things “off a lot” . . . things like the TV, or lights, when not in use. He knows a lot about energy and how to use it wisely and safely. The GFWC/Indiana Federation of Clubs will supply each student with an official badge. The federation will also supply all teachers materials such as the OFFALOT puppet and cassette, picture cards, poster and teacher’s guide. These supplies will be obtained from the Energy Source Education Program through the GFWC/Indiana Federation of Clubs, and provide them free-of-cost to the public school systems. The GFWC/Ladies of the Round Table cLub, as well as the clubs throughout the state, under the direction of the GFWC/Indiana Federation of Clubs, will provide these kits to every public U B ■ -B B 9'' B B ■ Jr TO ADDRESS FFA BANQUET — Scott McKain, former State FFA President and National FFA Secretary will be the featured speaker for the 1988 Wawasee FFA Parent Member Awards Banquet on April 18.
