Physical Ability Test ln the spring of each year the seventh, eighth grades and the High School Department have what is called the State Wide Phy- sical Ability Test. For the girls this test is the basketball throw, the run and catch, and the dash. For the boys it is the dash, chinning and standing broad jump. If a student gets 50 per cent in each of these events he is entitled to a bronze badge. For a silver badge 75 per cent is required, and for a gold badge l00 per cent is required in all the tests. Last year no one won a gold badge but there were six persons who won silver badges. Doris Bel and Arrethea Verdine were the girls, and Ralph Casey, Arthur Alborn, Carl Hopkins and Ray- mond Middleton were the boys who won silver badges. There were twenty-eight girls and eleven boys who won bronze badges. Raymond Milldeton and Melville Sheahen earned a silver ring with a bronze emblem for making an average of 50 per cent for three years. The Junior Division of Boys had an average of 73.7 per cent. This was the third highest average in a school of this size in New York State, and as a reward the school received a certificate. This year nearly all the students have raised their averages. In the seventh and eighth grades all the girls but one fwho was absentj, will receive a badge.
