lN1RS. BOWCOCK-ln her many guises, Mrs, Bowcock has seryed Grady well ever since the school was established. To the many sufferers from headaches and stomach aches who seek help daily at the clinic, her patience and understand- ing have been invaluable. To the equally numerous sufferers from rc-stitisf' the dread disease stemming from one's being poorly prepared for classroom examinations, she has seemed sympathetic, but firm. Distinguishing between real and imaginary illnesses has been only one of her tasks, howeverg 'her other duties have in- cluded keeping numerous records and supervising the dental campaign. For her important part in helping pupils toward a healthy participation in every angle of school life, the stu- dent body at Grady wishes to thank Mrs. Bowcock. Now that she is retiring, the clinic will seem forbidding and strange, rather than friendly as it has always been under her guidance. Taking the temperature of sick students is only one of Mrs. Bow- cock's many duties. Mrs. Bowcock, the school nl rse, is always willing to help students who con e to the clinic. Another of Mrs. lSowcock's tasks is examining eyes. 'S-t. li

Their warnings of Ushhln and quietl often interfere with gossiping in the stacks, but they do make the library a restful and useful place to work. VVhen the period nears an end, all students in the library rush to the desk for their permits. For a few minutes the library assistants are frantically busy. They cheek out books, sign permits, receive fines, and file cards. Soon after, however, a new group of students arrives in the library, and quiet again set- tles oyer the room. The clinic has a steady stream of customers from eight o'clcick to three. Nlrs. Bowcock is kept busy each day by constant demands for aspirin or per- mission to go home. Especially during the fall flu season the workers in the clinic constantly and hur- riedly file cards, fill out records, and care for sick students. After spending a busy holr in the library, students walt for their per nits to class. During each autumn, ilu epidc mics keep Mrs. Bowcock busy
