The PEMM Club, for physical education majors and minors, continued its trend duro ing the 1981·82 school year of enhancing education by and through the physical. The club, led by Hermette Smith, began in the early fall with a traditional picnic at Wyldewood. At this outing, students were able to play ball against and share in a devo· tional with members of the physical education faculty. Another activity which has become associated with the group was the 100·inning soft· ball game. This all·nighter featured the PEMM Club soft· bailers in competition with clubs, the faculty and them· selves. In the spring, the group once again planned for a trip to Colorado and the ski slopes. As usual, the spring break jaunt was a tremendous success for the rookie skiiers as well as the veterans. The yearly Superstars ex· travaganza took place in the spring semester. A I~rge number of competitors partici· pa{ed in different athletic events in search of the prestigi· ous championship. Th roughout the school terms , the club also sponsored many sport's clinics.
