Ripening Record: Mrs. Lawrence's daughter, Linda, shows off an over-anxious tomato plant that produced its first ripe fruit June 16, nearly six weeks before the normal ripening time. Her mother explained the shock of moving the plant outdoors probably caused its spindly appearance.

Inspecting Seedlings: Backgrounded by her 35 x 45 foot raspberry patch, Mrs. Merle Lawrence inspects the beginnings of the 21 fruits and vegetables she grows annually in her back yard. The garden's scrubby beginning sprouts fell prey to a menagerie of rabbits, raccoons and chipmunks before she acquired the trap in the foreground. The harmless cage caught 35 chipmunks last summer alone, which now reside 20 miles outside of Ann Arbor.

THE PRETTIEST FANS: Michigan's hockey team has a big corps of solid fans but the prettiest ones are members of the Hockettes who perform for early comers before many home games. They are scheduled to make their final "hockey" appearance at 7:30 p.m. either Monday or Tuesday, prior to the Michigan-Denver contest here. Chicly uniformed and seriously happy in their performances, the Hockettes -- in their third year under guidance of Professor Richard J. Porter, of the U-M School of Public Health -- also make occasional pre-game appearances in East Lansing. Members of this year's group are Linda Lawrence, Michelle Murphy, Sue Brown, Aprill Krause, Carole Miller, Ann Wilson, Marilyn Gale, Sandra Kerr, Karen Young, Bonnie Wecker, Martha Woodruff, Carol Porter, Edithin Bateman, Penny Moore, Sally Dilno, Nancy Hanks, Liz Seligson, Marry Ann Colvin, Cheryl Miller, Robin Lawrence, Julia Daniel, Alice Leach, Sue Goldberg, Pat Poupare, Peggy Reed, and Marie Menefee.
