UNO-D7 Something similar to this happens every morning in the school clinic on the first floor. There is an average of thirty-five calls a day for everything from mumps to measles. The greater number of injuries are, however, minor cuts, burns, bruises, and sprains. In a record book are kept the name of each patient and the report of his illness. In a file is a record of every call made to the clinic during the pupil's four years in higih school. These files are kept by student helpers who aid the nurse in treating minor cases. What a comfort it is to have a nurse and a clinic in time of distress! , nufnn uuinnl4nllllnu-.uni nninn-un PHYSICAL EDUCATION is one of the most important courses in school. It strength- ens both body and mind, and makes us fit for other studies. The girls are divid- ed into four classes, the Gym I's, Il's, III's, IV's, and advanced, and have definite aims for each class. There are certain activities common to all classes such as basket- ball, volleyball, baseball, track, tumbling, and apparatus which vary in diiiiculty ac- cording to classes. Dancing is grouped so that the Gym I's have rythm, Gym II's folk dancing, Gym III's tap dancing, and Gym IV's and advanced, a combination of all these. The athletic activities are rather seasonal. In autumn we have the annual tennis tour- nament, and hockey: in winter we have basketball, which is the only sport at that time: in spring we have baseball, volleyball, tennis, track, and field. This is the fullest season in the school year. The gym exhibition is given by the girls and boys, and is usually divided into three parts: first, the girls doing tumbling, rhythm work, and exercises: second, the boys: and third, folk and modern dancing in the native costumes. This year the girls formed an athletic organization under the sponsorship of Miss Loehr and Miss Workman. The boys' gym classes have a series of activities common to all of the classes. Naturally, the more difficult stunts are given to the advanced students. The gym classes have tumbling, apparatus, exercises, contests, and games. They play class basketball and volleyball, and in the spring they go outside for baseball. Each year the boys have a track meet of all the classes combined, and ribbons are awarded to the out- standing boys. In the annual gym exhibition, the boys show these activities as they are done during classes. They show beginning and advanced tumbling and apparatus, and different games and contest. I28I

T THE Girl Reserves of George Washington high school hold their meetings at Hawthorne House on Monday evenings. After the meeting there is usually a program given by members of the club or a speaker from the Y. W. C. A. Every year they have a Christmas and Valentine party at which they exchange gifts and valentines. The Freshman club sponsored a convocation,a talk given by a traveler in old Mexico. The officers: Marion Drago, presidentg Anna Cornwell, vice-presidentgThelma T l Kostoff, secretary, Dorothy Wolfe, treasurerg Catherine Burton, sponsor, and Betty Sullivan, program chairman. Y nu un--nu2.nn. - iulfnnufunmunnuinn nu TRAILS, steep trails, rugged trails, rocky trails, are the ones followed by the Camp- fire Girls. This may sound difiicult, but the girls really enjoy the work so much that the trails seem to be merely shady paths. This summer they are going to organize a new camp near Morgantown. The girls that go to camp will have the privilege of making the trails. This organization plans many projects during the year. During the Christ- mas season old dolls were taken to the Campfire workshop and repaired. Afterwards, the girls dressed the dollsg and a prize, which was a week-end at Camp, was oifered for the best dressed doll. The prize was won by a Washington girl. Last winter, two hospitality courses were given at the Banner-Whitehill furniture store, at which the preparation of attractive salads and sandwiches was demonstrated under the spon- sorship of Miss Edna Purvis. The group at Washington high school have learned to makle some beautiful purses out of wooden beads which came from Czechoslovakia. W. nn ini--sinful: nu un nur . uuY.:- nn? un EVERY SATURDAY between 11:30 and 1:00 the members of the Hi-Y club have a gym period at the Y. M. C. A. Also, the regular weekly meetings of the club are held at the Y. M. C. A. every Tuesday evening at 7:30 and are preceded by an hour of recreat- ional games and sports. This year the Hi-Y also sponsored a skating party that was held at the Y. M. C. A. An Older Boys' Conference was held at Michigan City, Indiana, to which two delegates from Washington were sent. The club was also represented at the State Y. M. C. A. Conference at Kokomo, the State Hi-Y Officers' Conference held in Indianapolis, and the annual Hi-Y Field Day in Bloomington. The club was responsible for two convocations this year. These were the ones in which Mr. Arthur C. Ruth spoke to the freshman class on The Value of Hi-Y Organ- ization and its Work and the one in which Dr. Herman Chen-En-Liu addressed the school about conditions existing in China. The object of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.

Any boy who is a Scout is eligible for membership. Just at present there are only seven members. They meet every Tuesday in the wood shop where the boys are earning merits in woodworking. They are making various articles such as lamps, tables, and book ends which will meet the Scout woodworking requirements. i301
