GOOD HEALTH HELPS Each year all ninth graders have the advantage of having their teeth examined at the George Churchill nurse's of- fice by Dr. Way, a specialist in orthodenture. Over and over Dr. Way pleasantly says, Open wide, as he prepares to examine the teeth. Mrs. McCreight, school nurse, is getting information from a student in regard to health records which are kept for all students. Checking the eyes is a yearly task of the school nurse who is assisted by members of the P. T. A. To be able to see well is es- sential to efficient learning.
