AF S Olympics draws crowds You Got Leggs. . . but how many pair of pantyhose can you put on those legs in one minute? Penn students and adminis- tration worked at pulling on the most pan- tyhose in the American Field Service (AFS) Olympic Games held at Penn high school, February 24 and 25, Olympic teams consisted of six mem- bers, three girls, three guys and one alternate, each participating in spoof events. Prior to the olympics, teams obtained pledges from local businesses, promises for one dollar per point. Money raised will be used in three different ways: for scholarships, short term exchanges, and our foreign exchange students’ indi- vidual needs. Members of the teams were required to wear an arm band or T-shirt identifying them with the real or fictitious country they represented. Field games, held Tuesday evening, opened the AFS Olympics. Events viewed by spectators were an egg toss, consisting of two mem- bers tossing an egg the greatest distance without breaking it, a marshmallow treat, where team members try to consume all the marshmallows in the shortest time, and a tug-of-war. Wednesday evening included the games in the pool, featuring the team event kick board relay, where flutter kick only was allowed and a kick board was used as the baton to be handed off. Everyone kept a close watch on the scores knowing what tough com- petition they were up against. Capturing first place in the AFS Olym- pics was Swaziland, second place was Poland, Mononucleosis won third place, Swedish Sweat Hogs placed fourth and Austria was fifth, Page 24 Bottom left Wayne Anthony wiggles to keep his hula hoop up.
