In these days of food shortages and high point values it is a real problem to prepare well balanced meals at moderate cost that will please the palates and the pocketbooks of high school and grade students. Between 200 and 500 students eat daily in the high school cafeteria. Mrs. Ethel Frank, art supervisor, serves a real purpose in school and community by training stu- dents of all ages to see and appreciate beauty. Not all students will become artists in skill, but all can become artists in appreciation. Music hath power- sang Shakespeare long ago, and through the activities of Miss Catherine Keach that power is demonstrated in many ways in the city schools of Bedford. Honors in both chorus and solo work have been brought to Bedford in the past through her efforts, and when the war ends and transportation is again possible she will again lead her students in successful competition with other choral groups of the state. Instrumental music has always been popular with high school boys and girls, and the genial leadership of Mr. Thomas has made it especially popular this year. This group, preparing for an audition, is typical of the many small groups with which Mr. Thomas works day in and day out.

The girl who knows how to sew and knit and darn and crochet can save herself many a dollar along with filling many empty hours with useful activities. Wood work and lathe work, along with me- chanical dtawing, keep Mr. Beals busy throughout the day, but he is never too busy to give the word of encouragement or praise that helps the student to be proud of his work and to do better work. Home nursing is a vital factor in successful home making these days. Girls in the home management classes gain much by the training offered by Miss Cox and the city nurses who assist in this work. Metal shop classes under Mr. Hughes work steadily all afternoon mastering the mechanics of the powerful machines that perform the many miracles in metal that contribute to our modern civilization.

Q f' t ' Miss Grace Shaffer, school nurse, makes the rounds of the build- ings daily, checking temperatures, noting health needs, and furnishing advice and medical materials to the teachers. When family calls must be made and medical care recommended Miss Shaffer is unsparing in her efforts to help the children. Milk lunches in all the grade buildings are her particular care. Dr. R. E. Wynne, school doctor, makes regular health check-ups among the chil- dren of the grade schools where the greater number of cases of contagious illnesses develop. His duties as county coroner and as a general practitioner have never kept him from serving school needs first. Coach Ralph Holmes Games and sport programs are a joy to a gym teacher, but the real worth of a physical education program is proved in the regular daily routine of exercises that help build straight backs and strong mus- cles for those who participate. Miss Faye Witte, enthusiastic and energetic, has made the health program a real force in the life of the high school girls. is as famed for pungent wit and quick speech as he is for training boys to make a fine showing in athletic endeavors. His record in developing good sportsmanship along with hne athletes is an enviable one, admired throughout the state.
