School opened regular sessions Monday, September 18. School was postponed from September 5 to September 18 by order of Dr. Moulton, because of the polio epidemic. Very few children were atticked by the dreadful disease. Sophie Kaidon who is still a polio victim, is slowly recovering at the Binghamton Hospital. Immediately after school opens all pupfu are given a physical examination. A health card is sent to the parents indicating physi- cal defects needing attention. Dr. Moulton has examined all pupils for about 27 years. For the past three years he has examined only the boys and Dr. Mahler has examined the girls. All pupils in C. C. S. from the fifth grade through the twelfth grades have gymf The girls have classes on Tuesday and Thurs- day and alternate Fridays: the boys on Monday and Wednesdays and alternate Fridays. Nearly all pupils participate in intramurals, played at noon, which increase the time spent on gym work. In the high school g1r1's basketball in- tramurals, the Dipsy-Doodles, capta1ned by Gloria Roberts, and the Hellcats, captained by Doris Manning tied for first place. The game that decided the championship was fast and furious with the close score of 16 to 15 at the end. The Hellcats came out on top leaving the Dipsy-Doodles in second place. In the seventh and eighth grade the Spars, captained by Agnes Mann1ng,.have won the most games. As a part of the health program, the school provides a dental hygienist each year to clean and examine teeth of the pupils who wish to have it done. She sends a letter and a chart to parents showing teeth defects which need immediate care. This year the dental hygienist was Miss Blanche Doyle from New York, who attended the A. and M. School at Stillwater, Oklahoma. She said that her work progressed niceh after the new pedestal, which is the same as in modern offices, was installed. She told the smaller children what kinds of food to eat and how to care for their teeth, so that they may have a fine set of teeth later on. Miss Doyle was kept busy from January 2 to February 9.

A group of witches served as court to try different members of the audience for unjust things they had-done since school' opened. Mr. McCune, wearing a dunce cap and fishing in a bucket of water, was a comical sight. Mr. Vetter skipped school to go hunting. So what-should be more appropriate than to haw him shoot at a pheasant with a bow and arrow. Miss lt? He certainly did. Mrs. Strong, she kept nJohnny on the Spotu for two months. The witches had her sit ln a corner on a high stool. Mrs. Strong will never put any one on the spot again. Wendell Hichards should be a little.g1rl. He didn't have any trouble put- ting on a corset, and the way he fastened his stockings to the garter. Ohl Boy. Peter Ward could dance with a chair as well as he could with a girl. At least he got around fastero Cider and doughnuts were served in the cafeteria. The remainder of the evening was spent in round and square dancing.

These were dried, and then shipped to factories for the manufacture of avlator's Jackets. Maybe Bud, or Sye or Ernest, or some of our other air men will be wearing one of them.
