| TRAINING 69 Py 5 oe y) 0 NY ig , d SS X The results of this rounded program were voted favorably in the Physical Achievement scores which fully indicated the success of the training program. During the hardening-up process, at times, there was routine which was not favorable but each and every trainee knew that he was getting “in shape” for the rigors to come. The odd-million laps around the football and baseball fields, not to overlook the surround- ing countryside, were never a pleasure but were responsible for the training’s achieve- ment.

PHYSICAL The question of physical fitness was em- phasized more strongly this semester than at any previous time. With new changes in schedules arranged, a much keener interest was noted by the sa members. Organization was the keynote of the pro- gram’s success. Each day had its individual activities and was rarely overdone; variety added a spark that sent the A S scurrying to class instead of sauntering indifferently. Every phase of physical development and hardening was emphasized; boxing, wres- tling, basketball, baseball, football, and soc- cer, to mention only a few. Tumbling, with ‘a its stress on body and mental coordination, AO) mm S| was a highlight. Trainee “Buck” Jennings SF with the aid of A. K. Byars} sph sales gave a public demonstration which brought a nice | round of applause for a job well done. The | emphasis of this tumbling exhibition was R that a very few of the teams’? members had tumbled before entering the V-12 Unit here at Newberry and that to know how to fall, roll, etc., was invaluable in modern warfare. 68
