Students Learn Home Care for the Sick How can one record a person’s temperature and pulse? What does the color of a person’s skin tell? Can you change the sheets on a bed with a 180 pound woman in it? What would you do to improvise babies’ diapers? Students learning home care for the sick can answer these questions. Mrs. Edith Staples, the school nutse, teaches this new course offered for the first time. Every day twenty-five to thirty weary, complaining, and confused Chancellors go to the nurse’s office. Only a small number of these are sent home. The medical department sponsors projects concerned not only with the immediate health of students and teachers. Among other things, the department gives flu shots to teachers and prepares various bulletin boards and show cases emphasizing the need and the importance of good health . Mrs. Edith Staples, B.S. Medical College of Virginia Every senior receives a chest x-ray as part of the medical program. Judy Marmion enters x-ray truck as Mary Wilkins and Carl Carwile wait for their turn. Mrs. Marie Osterman, superintendent of nurses at Grace Hospital, speaks to the students in the home care for sick class. Administration and Departments 4]

Cordial Custodians Keep School Clean “Grab the shovels, men! It’s snowing again!’ These words were spoken more than once this past winter, as Mr. Garber made preparation for one of the many jobs his staff performs. Each day, rain or shine, these men are always ready to help faculty and students. With courteous service, they play an important role in maintaining a clean and healthful George Wythe. Because the newest ideas in school architecture are found in our school, it attracts numerous visitors who notice its neat and well-kept appearance.
