It’s 1954 and you are excited. You just won your first race for the high school track team and your dad thinks you might be Olympic material.
What a fantastic idea. Do you stand a chance?
It is possible, but the 1956 Olympics are only two years away! If you’re going to compete, you need to start training now.
Your first step is to pick up this booklet and learn more about the history of the games. Then you’ll discover details that will come in handy when the 16th Olympiad begins.
Take a look.
You’ve been so engrossed in your reading that you’ve lost track of time. Now it’s late in the day and your body is signaling for your attention. Your muscles did not enjoy your excursion on the track and are making their displeasure known!
Perhaps there is a price to pay for all this athleticism?
Instead of competing in person, you could participate in the games by reading articles in the newspaper, watching newsreels and collecting stamps. They might even show an event or two on that newfangled invention called television!
No matter your choice, you’ll still have this booklet to enjoy, brought to you by GVS, Glorious Vintage Stuff!
