It's work and football and not much time for anything else this part of the year. These kids are having a blast playing in the 62nd Annual Kid Bowl in Easley, South Carolina.
Still a youth hostel today although I gather the SYHA has been rebranded 'Hostelling Scotland' since 2018. The building dates back to the early 19th century having been built in connection with the local salmon fishing industry.

Statue of a youth, a Roman marble replica of a Greek bronze statue of about 440BC.
. He stands on the left leg, with the body thrown rather forward, and the right foot dragging behind. The head, which is of an ideal type, with short curly hair, looks downwards, and to the right. The left arm hangs by the side. The right arm, which was separately attached, is wanting from the middle of the deltoid. The stem of a palm-tree is by the left leg. The figure is very pleasing, but there is an undue exaggeration of sentimentality in the pose. In parts the execution is weak, as in the conventional treatment of the central line down the body. The separating line between the abdomen and the thigh, which is always accentuated in the antique, is here greatly exaggerated.
The question of the school and correct restoration of the figure has been much discussed. It has been restored as a youth placing a fillet or a wreath upon his head, and has thus been connected with the statue of the youth Kyniskos, a victorious boy boxer at Olympia (460 B.C. ?). The boy has also been restored as holding a strigil to his hair which seems an unsuitable and improbable position. He has been interpreted as a Narkissos of the school of Myron, who raises his hand to his forehead to shade his eyes, while admiring his own reflection in a pool of water. The subject, however, is improbable, and a figure in this position could not see itself reflected in water. The figure has also been regarded, without evidence, as the "nudus talo incessens " of Polycleitos mentioned by Pliny. Lately it has been suggested that the exaggerations and defects noted above mark the work of an eclectic school, such as that of Pasiteles, and that the composition seems to call for a second figure to complete it on the left.

At this time, 75 years ago, the Summer Olympics were winding-up in Berlin. Jesse Owens had won his four medals, and Hitler had refused to shake his hand (somewhere I have Jesse Owens autograph. Being a good Ohio boy (and an Ohio man) he came to speak at the Rotary Club (or something) and my father got it for me. Hitler famously refused to shake his hand, after he won the 100-meter dash.
And as for American participation in the games, read this about Avery Brundage: "As USOC president, Brundage rejected any proposals to boycott the 1936 Summer Olympics to be held in the capital of Nazi Germany, despite the exclusion of German Jews by the policies of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. In fact, Brundage became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after the group expelled American Ernest Lee Jahncke, who had urged athletes to boycott the Berlin games.
On the morning of the 400-meter relay race, at the last moment, the only two Jews on the 1936 US track team, Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller, were replaced by Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalfe. Brundage, a Nazi sympathizer had pressured to have the only two Jews on the track team removed at the last moment so as not to embarrass Hitler and the Nazis with a Jewish victory.[7][8][9][10][11][12][12] Brundage later praised the Nazi regime at a Madison Square rally.[8][9][10][13][14] Brundage was expelled from the America First Committee in 1941 because of his pro-German leanings. After the 1936 Olympics, Brundage's construction company was awarded a building contract to build the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. Brundage was notified in a letter from Nazi authorities acknowledging Brundage's pro-Nazi sympathies.[8] As late as 1971 Brundage still claimed "The Berlin Games were the finest in modern history...I will accept no dispute over that fact".[9]
Brundage opposed the inclusion of women as Olympic competitors; he insisted they have no role in the Olympic Games beyond the ceremonial or decorative. He was quoted in 1936: "I am fed up to the ears with women as track and field competitors... her charms sink to something less than zero. As swimmers and divers, girls are [as] beautiful and adroit as they are ineffective and unpleasing on the track." [15] (Brundage also suspended Eleanor Holm from the 1936 Olympic Games) Brundage, at the time of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, called for a system to be established to examine female athletes for "sex ambiguities", according to a contemporary article in Time devoted to what it called "hermaphrodites". He made this request after observing Czechoslovak runner and jumper Zdenka Koubkova and English shot-putter and javelin-thrower Mary Edith Louise Weston. Both individuals had sex change surgery and legally changed their name."
If you have not seen Leni Refinsthal's documentary on the 1936 games, rent it by all means and watch. It, and "Triumph of the Will," are amazing examples of the power of propaganda to make evil look seductive.

"Youth, so self possessed
Sometimes no self respect
Youth wants to give you all
Youth could be your downfall
Here comes another revelation
A revolution for us all
I never believed what you said
I only believe what we've done
We are the energy"
