Health Office HE HEALTH Office’s most out- standing achievement of the year was the tuberculin testing program, which was conducted on a voluntary basis among high school students. Al- though awaited with fear and trem- bling, the needle-sticking proved to be a relatively painless process, and no students found their wounds to be mor- tal. Those showing positive reactions were eiven low-cost chest X-rays to deter- mine the presence and progress of the disease. The purpose of the program was to detect early symptoms of tuber- culosis and thus safeguard both unsus- peetime victims and classmates. Dr. W. B. Armstrong, giving time from his private practice to be the school physician, and Mrs. Sadie Dempsey supervised the unusually outstanding program of making the young people of Ames as physically fit as possible. Mrs. Dempsey replaced Miss Henrietta Gron- fourteen lid, who left January 1 after thirteen years of service as Ames publie school nurse to fly over thirteen states as as- sistant In the mid-area office of the American Red Cross. Following a precedent set in previous years, more than 2,200 young people in the first eight grades were given a physical checkup, while all twelve grades took time out from regular schoolwork to have their molars in- spected. A constant bugbear to students was the invariably forgotten rule requiring all those who were absent because of ill- ness for more than three successive days to recelve permission from Dr. Arm- strong or Mrs. Dempsey in order to re- turn to school. To aid those who could not otherwise afford needed medical attention, the health office purchased glasses and paid for tonsil and dental work out of one of its special funds. Although Dr. Armstrong still looks skeptical, Mrs. Dempsey writes out the ex- cuse necessary to get Marilyn back into class. б „ Ш sf $ EJ Ка,
