Students found it fun to get out of class, run out- side to a big smooth-look in truck and stand in front of a complicated machine. It was all part of a state- wide campaign to tind tuberculosis in an early and curable stage by tak- ing miniature X-ray films. High school teachers, jan- itors and ninth grade pu- pils were included. f the 453 X-rays taken, six high school students showed abnormal shadows. Enlarged X-rays of those six were taken a month later and the final report sent to the family physician. This program was carried out in co- operation with the Iowa State Department of Health, the county, state and national tuber- culosis associations, the Ames Board of Educa- tion and the county medical society. Public speaking students cooperated in the light against tuberculosis by preparing speeches on subjects such as the first Christmas seal and detect- ing tuberculosis in its early stages. The best scripts were read over radio sta- tion WO I. This was one of the special projects under the direction of the school health department. Also, every student was given hearing and vision tests. Athletic examinations were under the supervision of the nurse’s office. Every sophomore was given a complete physical exami- nation and any abnormal conditions were reported to the pupils and their parents. To most students the nurse's office was the place where they were greeted with a friendly smile by the nurse. Miss Eva Lindgren, or the school physician. Dr. Kenneth ('.

Hall Doing its best to carry out the ideals of democracy throughout the school, this year's student council deserves much credit for organiz- ing and directing school activities and promot- ing interest in them. The eighteen homerooms in Ames High are represented on the student council by their presidents. Presiding over council meetings and representing the students as a whole are the duties of the student body president. This was the first year in the school's history that such an officer has been elected. In addition to supervising school affairs and deciding on matters of general policy, the coun- cil was divided into s. ven committees to take care of spicifie duties. The assembly committee planned all assemblies for the year, providing a varied and interesting program. The awards committee approved all awards, as well as spon- soring three awards assemblies. One was held in the fall and one in the winter for athletics, and one in the spring for scholastic, band, vocal music and spring sports awards. The noon-hour committee worked hard this year to provide for a well-rounded noon-hour program. Featuring volleyball and softball tournaments, the entertainment also included dances, musical assemblies and movies. The social committee handled open house as well as sponsoring matinee dances and the annual mid- Fourtcen
