Went to High School in the late sixties and physical fitness was required. We used to have to shimmy up these thick ropes that were hung from the high ceiling of the gym. You had to touch the steel beam at the top to get credit for it., even girls (like me) were required to do it. There were maybe three or four fat kids in the entire school. We also played field hockey, basketball, softball and did track. All in gym class. We were lucky enough to have a pond near the school and got to ice skate on it during the winter months.
Yep. Us too. No pond for ice skating in Seattle though. Do you remember the President’s Physical Fitness badge?
I was just going to mention this. We worked all year for one day a week, roughly, in order for everyone to make the base requirements for the President’s Physical Fitness award. We had PE three times per week and music the other two times for the last lessons of the day.
music, ah yes... boy do I remember that. getting up infront of the class and singing [if that's what you could call it] I wasn't that good 'course I had mamaw just grinning ear to ear at church when we all would sing. I miss those times. thanks for bringing up "music class" -good memories. Cheers Trumpgirl 🍻
I do lol
absolutely remember that. wasn't a bad thing either. instilled a sense of self-confidence and healthy competition. not this participation trophy junk that literally does nothing for anyone.
Yes, nearly the entire school got them.
I got one of those.. many of my classmates did.
