It's Sunday night of August 14th, 1960, and the cubs have an appointment for their back to school physicals for the 1960-1961 school year which starts in two weeks.
"It's getting late, and the cubs are scheduled for their back to school physicals tomorrow morning", Marge reminded Al. "I'm glad you reminded me of that", Al replied. "Okay, everyone. It's time to be getting to bed", Al announced to the cubs shortly past 10:00 pm. "You have back to school physicals tomorrow morning". "Can we stay up a little longer?", Jed asked. The cubs were having lots of fun running their toy trains on their large train board. "Yea. I was about to have a train drag a car", Rex added as he had a Matchbox brand, toy Vauxhall Cresta tied to the back of a toy train with a length of string, and ready to drag the die cast toy automobile down the tracks. "That's gonna be wild", said Clarence in anticipation of watching the train drag the automobile. "To bed", Al insisted to the cubs, then explained, "And Rex. What you're about to do with that die cast metal car will short circuit the tracks. That's best done with a plastic car". "I'll switch it out for this one then", Rex proclaimed as he reached for a plastic, O scale, 1960, Plymouth sedan parked near a 1/72nd scale model church". "You're not switching out anything right now", Al told Rex. "It's to bed now, or we're talking about a different kind of switching". That promptly got Rex's attention...And what Al said to Rex also got Jed's attention just before he was about to make his way over to the transformer and controls to be ready to start the train. "You cubs have an appointment with Dr. Ruben Ocelot tomorrow for your back to school physicals", Marge told the cubs. "It's past ten o'clock already", Al exclaimed. "You cubs need to be getting to bed".
As for back to school physicals, that was required, along with any needed vaccines, for elementary school students back in those days prior to starting the next school year. It wasn't really required for grades 7th and up.
They do have quite a train layout. As for back to school physicals, that was required, along with
Oh yeah, I know the horror stories of Polio well and have seen what it does. I'm more surprised that it is mandatory, today with all the COVID vaccine drama from the anti-vax groups. Some years after this (66-68 I think) there was one for measles.

When I was a kid, we had a teenager in our community who had polio and was treated in time to save him. However, polio messed him up to where he hobbled with a severe limp for the rest of his life instead of walking normal.

Yep, I've seen guys like that as well. Not pretty. I was more interested in it being implied that it is mandatory what with the anti-vax stuff of today.
