Obstacle Course • • • By way of keeping in step with the wartime Physical Fitness Program an “obstacle course’’ has been constructed on the Tremont athletic field. It was fashioned after the one devised by the Office of Civilian Defense for the Minnesota area, and was endorsed for high schools by the National Federation. T. C. H. S. was the first high school in this part of the state to construct and make use of an obstacle course. The Physical Education program at Tremont underwent revisions in order to fit in with the wartime needs and this addition to the department is putting new emphasis on real physical fitness. Our course was laid out around the track and consists of the following twelve obstacles: 1. Fence vault (four feet high) ; 2. Under-over-under (in this obstacle the boys go under a chain, over a hurdle, and under another chain) ; 3. The low hurdles; 4. Wall scale (the boys must scale a 7-ft. wall without help) ; 5. Dodging run; 6. Balance beam; 7. Broad jump (1 foot rope instead of take-off board) ; 8. Tunnel; 9, Hedgehop; 10. Suspension hang and travel hand over hand; 11. Six-foot ladder climb and jump; 12. Maze run. All of the above obstacles were made by the manual training classes under the direction of C. J. Foli, Ind. Arts instructor, and Wally Schoen- feld, Coach. Records are being kept to measure each boy in his improvement and endurance. The course accommodates any number of students. It can be used for: Self-testing; pursuit race with handicaps for slower contestants; relay races; telegraphic meets, and novelty races. The course is such that it could be used in a regular track meet. There are only two rules: First, no spikes or cleated shoes can be used; second, when a contestant knocks over an obstacle, he must replace it and repeat his trial. Under Mr. Schoenfeld’s direction the boys are attaining a new high level of physical accomplishment and endurance. The pictures on the opposite page are prints of pictures which appeared in the Bloomington Pantagraph together with a write-up of the Tremont Obstacle Course. One of the striking photographs is of the fence vault. Billy Carius and Eddie Naffziger are about to go over the top. Bill Helle- mann and Emanuel Baer are attempting (and apparently doing an all- right job of it) to cross the balance beam. The three boys in the boxes are Roger Johnson, George Pumphrey, and Paul Koch, in the process of hedge- hopping. Emerging from the kennel is Dan Koch. This obstacle is known as the tunnel. Norvin Bright is about to enter at the far end. Twenty-six
