HEALTH Strivecl to develop and maintain physical well being THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT strives to 2 i - maintain a high standard ot physical titness 3 il through education and examination. In the iunior year students undergo a physical ex- amination conducted by Dr. Andrew Cerne.

Mrs. Tempero also ad- ministers first aid, making sure that each student receives proper care when needed. Health as taught in the senior year seeks to give each student a knowledge ot the basic principles of hygiene and the physi- ology ot the body. The tact is stressed that advantages of good health as well as a good mental outlook are vital in every phase of life.
