Dr. Cerne stops his examina- tions long enough for us to photograph him. Checking ears is one of the important parts of the physi- cal examinations. Mrs. Tempero, the school nurse, checks the weight of every student in the odd-num- bered grades. I . PPROXIMATELY 2,050 children in the grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 will be given medi- cal examinations during the school year in the Hempfield Area. The medical examination includesa hearing test, a vision test, a dental examination, and a test for tuberculosis. All medical examinations are given by Dr. A. J. Cerne of Herrninie and Dr. A. G. Cannon of Greensburg. Dr. W.W. Fisher, Dr. W.W. King, and Dr. F. H. Hoffman of Greensburg with Dr. D. L. Greene of Jeannette and Dr. John Nemec of Irwin are responsible for the dental examinations. In the fall of 1952 the children of grades 1 and 2 were given a Patch Test for tuberculosis. Of the 935 Patch Tests administered, sixteen showed a positive reaction. These were X-rayed to check more completely. The parent of a child with apositive Patch Test showed a positive X -ray and was sent to a sanitarium for care. Teachers and all students in grades 8, 9, and 10 were given chest X-rays for tuberculosis. Of these 953 chest X-rays only one was positive. The administration of these tests was made possible by the Christmas Seal Program of the Westmore- land County Public Health Service. CHEST X-RAYS WERE GIVEN TO 953 STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.

,f ff ,Z Daily five buses load at the front of the school. Nine buses line up at the rear of the building. The upper picture shows the five buses and their drivers just before dismissal time. CWOWNSHIP-owned buses in our school area transport students to our ele- mentary andjunior high schools. They also transport the junior and senior students to nearby high schools. The system consists of twenty-three buses that carry 3,548 students to and from school daily. Thus, approximately seventy-five percent of our students are transported. Nearly 650 of these pupils attend Harrold Junior High School. The buses travel 1,911 miles daily. During the 158 daily trips, 1,190 stops are made. It takes a great deal of careful plan- ning to make the operation of these buses efficient. Art Armbrust is the overseer of the bus drivers. The lower picture shows the buses at the rear of the building after the dismissal bell has rung.
