“Blimey, guv’nor, look at that

During British and American
Youth Fitness Competition i n
1956, British girls rated higher
not only than girls — but than
U.S. boys as well. American youth
looked pretty soft.

\381 boys surveyed
here, better than 84 percent pass-
ed with B-D grades. Three scor-
ed A’s,—Ronnie Terry, junior;
Ronnie Patterson, junior; and
Dale Edgeworth, senior. An over-
all score of 90 percent equaled an
A.
Three sophomore girls also
made above ninety percent on
their modified tests — Barbara
Bass, La Nell Bankhead, and Tan-
ya Holmes.
PERCENTAGES determining
scores were derived by averaging
each student’s percentiles taken
from a national form.
Girls scoring 50 and above
numbered 237. The remaining 211
fell into the 35 to 50 percent and

The animals to be entered will
be 16 to 18 swine, 14 barrows,

Five ag boys—Mike Gross, Ri-
chard Edwards, Wayne Haigood,

test items requiring leg use, like
the 50 yard dash and 600 yard
run-walk. This was true of boys,
also.
Corrective measures to strength-
en arm and shoulder muscles have
been activated already.
"BOYS WHO rated D’s and F’s
on the tests are lifting weights,”
states Coach Jim Curtis, boys’ PE
teacher.
A “wheel-barrow” exercise is
being performed by girls. The
exercise puts body weight almost
entirely on the arms.
THIS YEAR, because of in-
adequate facilities in the past, was
the girls’ first crack at physical
fitness testing in high school.
The seven-item youth fitness
test spurring on this activity in-
cluded pull-ups (boys) or modifi-
ed pull-ups (girls) to measure
arm and shoulder strength, sit ups
to determine flexibility and ab-
dominal strength, shuttle run,
standing broad jump, 50-yard
dash, softball throw, and the 600-
yard run-walk.
THE PRESENT test, officially
adopted by Kennedy’s Council on
Youth Fitness, is distributed by
the American Association for
Health, Physical Education, and
Recreation (AAHPER). It is gi-
ven twice—in early fall and
spring.
With the concern on the federal
government’s part of youth’s fit-
ness and the leadership of the
AAHPER, a national program for
health and physical fitness is as-
sured.
WITH THIS assurance, Wes-
terners, like other American youth,
may look forward to hearing:
“Blimey, guv’nor, look at that
Yank go!”
