BOYS RECEIVE
THEIR AWARDS
Young Swimers Who Passed the Test
Were Given Their Swimming
Buttons Today, Forty
eight in All. .

Swimming awards were mailed to
forty-eight boys today from the boys
department of the Y. NJ. c. A. for
having passed the required swimming
tests in the free class held at the
"Y' for the past three weeks. ...-
Forty-eight boys, all between the
ages of eight and twelve. were able
to swim the length of the pool and
dive from the diving board, which
feats composed the test. Nearly all
of the $50 boys of these ages who
were in the class learned to swim at
least a few strokes.
Another school similar to the one
this year will be conducted next
summer and the youngsters will have
an opportunity to continue their edu-
cation along this line.
Any boy who fails to receive his
swimming button is asked to report the
failure at the "Y," where he will be
given one.
