If so, wend your footsteps to the basement of the infirmary at either about eight o’clock in the morning or at quarter before six at night and feel good again”. There you will find Doc Greiner and Demon Freeman presiding over the clinic. These two men of science arc never without a joke or a humorous greeting for those who come in search of professional advice and treatment for their various ills. Although the patient is always treated to a little banter, he is also given the most serious attention and competent care. Demon, in addition to being the medical technician at Kent, is also the dietician. Besides their daily clinics. Doctor Greiner and Mr. Freeman keep an eye on the health of the school behind the lines by regular weight checking and vaccinations, etc. It is the two hard working medics who bind up athletic ankles for battle before the football games and then carry any chance casualties off to the infirmary, where the wounded hero is fixed up”. So, for a treat instead of a treatment see the Demon and the Doc.

MRS. GILLIAM AND MISS RESTING Zke sick bay.. . Prim in immaculately white, starched uniforms and pert caps are Caroline Gilliam and Helen Resting, the two school nurses. The Kent angels of mercy” preside over the large brick building known as the infirmary. They are on the job regularly every twenty-four hours rain or shine to care for the boys in the infirmary who have been overcome by the sniffles, measles, or who arc sometimes a victim of a broken arm or leg. Whatever their ailment, the patients are cared for with friendly interest and professional skill. However, Helen and Carol arc not push-overs for a gold-brickcr and recognize those of the latter category immediately. The professional invalids arc soon made to realize that being sick isn’t a lot of fun and are hustled out as quickly as possible. But to those who are really ill, there is no one kinder or more considerate than Helen and Carol. Many arc the extra hours they have spent with those seriously ill. Expert in boy psychology”, and endued with warm interest in others, they add the feminine touch that Kent needs. CAROLINE C. GILLIAM, R.N.
