THE REFLECTOR statement and settles all arguments. So much for the serious side of foods and cookery. Since Septem- ber, besides the regular class work, afternoon teas have been given, re- freshments for children’s parties and card parties have been prepared and set up, Christmas candies made and consumed. The gala day was December 19, when the classes entertained the Clifton Kiwanians and Board of Education. A six-course dinner was prepared and served. The classes welcome such occasions, and wish there were more of them. The Neiu Wing 5HE new wing, which is being added to our school, is the second (wing we are fortunate enough to acquire in two years. The first wing, which we received last year, was not the same kind as this one. As some of you will remember, it was an aeroplane wing sent to us by the officials of the Teterboro Airport. The new wing of our building is to be completed by March first. It is located in the back of the building south of the auditorium. When it is completed, it will be seventy feet long and sixty feet wide and will be the same height as the rest of the building. The outside will be brick and the trimming will be the same as that on the rest of the building. There will be fourteen rooms in the whole addition. On the top floor there will be four regular classrooms. On the second floor there will be four rooms also, two general classrooms and two study halls. The first floor will have three rooms, one large typing room and two for reg- ular classes. The basement will contain three rooms, devoted entirely to storage purposes. One of the store-rooms will be for general supplies for the entire school system. Another will be to store books for the en- tire system and the third will be used to store the athletic supplies of the High School. Twenty-eigh Walter Nutt, Jr., June ’32.

THE REFLECTOR Domestic Science OCTORS, dietitians, nutrition experts, welfare workers, in fact all who are interested in health education, tell us that the daily quota of milk for the child, e. g., from birth to 21 years, should be one quart daily. For the adult, at least one pint is required until old age is reached. To make a long story short, the growing body requires lime for building strong bones and good teeth. Milk is practically the only food that gives sufficient lime to supply the body needs. After a person has reached maturity, lime is still very necessary, for teeth, like everything else that is used, wear out. So a certain amount of milk must be drunk daily that nature can make the needed repairs. An interesting experience has been conducted in the elementary classes of Domestic Science to ascertain how near to the milk standard the girls in the classes approached. A chart was given to approximately one hundred twenty-five girls, and they recorded the quantity of milk they used daily for the period of a month. The results were most gratifying. More than 90% of the pupils are consuming at least three pints of milk daily, and less than 1% no milk at all, only that used in the family cooking. In other words, it would seem that girls who are taking Domestic Science are as much concerned with their physical well-being as they are to learn the art of cookery. One glance at the majority of these culi- nary artists proves the Twenty-seven

THE REFLECTOR The Physics Club, although of recent origin, has gained a promi- nent place among the active clubs of this school. Composed of several interested members of the Physics Classes, the club has many activities, and it is beneficial, not only to its individual members, but to the school at large. The club gave its hearty support to the Reflector by its publicity program during a recent assembly, which consisted of a short screen story by means of slide projection. Miss Chanalis, who gave us an in- teresting and very entertaining illustrated lecture on Whistler, the great American artist, was ren- dered valuable aid by the members of the club who ran the slide projection machine. The intricacies of sound picture production and the mechanics of the projec- tion machine, were made clear to the members of the Physics Club by a trip to the Western Electric Laboratories in New York City, under the direction of the sponsor of the club, Mr. Joseph Rosenfeld.
