' There is no specialization in any phase of nursing but is a general study of home hygiene and care of the sick. It enables the students to give simple treatments safely, to know when the services of a doctor are need- ed, and to care for and train children of various ages. It also teaches im- portant facts about the prevention of disease. A certificate of award is given at the close of the year to students who have passed a satisfactory examination. This course is especially helpful for wives and mothers who are gener- ally the nurse in the home. Miss Lottie Hagy is the teacher. 80 THE OWL

CLASS OF 1935 time ,H r- rrrr or ,r m 0 o J OURNALISM Because of hard work on the part of Mr. Gish, the students of Evening High School have benefited by the institution of a new course into their school's curriculum. This course is the study of Jounalism. Mr. Earl A. Master, the instructor, is capably fitted for this difficult subject. Not only has he made the course interesting but also profitable. A paper of Evening High activities was established which was favor- ably received by the Evening High students. Also a handbook was com- piled for the Evening High student body. While both these were edited by members of the Journalistic class, Mr. Master was a capable director and counsellor. This course should be the most popular in the curriculum once the stu- dents realize its practical value. THE owl. 7Q

CLASS OF 1935 fl OO LIBRARY Every Monday and Thursday evening, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the library of the school is open for use of the Evening High Students. Twelve thousand books of every conceiveable subject, fifty-four current magazines, and three daily newspapers may be found here, while Miss Maggie Mae Rawls, the librarian, will cheerfully and efficiently assist all those who desire her to do so. A i With so great a variety of books a student should be able to do all the reference work required by his teachers. An interesting sidelight on the library is that an estimated ninety-five percent of our students make use of it. For this reason, the greatest length of time allowed on any one book is two weeks and no renewal privileges given. THE owl. im 4 WMM H
