The second year consists of tailoring, food and nutrition, family relationship, consumer buying, home planning, fur- nishings and home nursing. The third year includes textiles, ad- 18 vanced tailoring and clothing, homebuys and leisure time activities, budgets and family finance. Also, refinishing of fur- niture, interior decorating, vocations allied to homemaking, and advanced foods such as preparation for parties and luncheons.

Health Department Health of the student is one of the main interests of the school. says Mrs. Dorotha Frantz. Mks. ITOROTHEA FRANTZ, Fourth Street, Sharpsville, has a variety of jobs concern- ing the health of the student. She is the school nurse, truant officer, and conducts Boy Scout tests. She did undergraduate work at Penn State, Thiel. Edinboro State Teachers College, and the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Frantz, a grad- uate nurse, trained at Sharon General Hospital and has had experience at the Greenville and Sharon Hospitals. She has been at Hickory six years. Treatment of people in the health of- fice, home visits, supervising health and dental examinations, keeping all the first aid kits in the building up-to-date. and investigating lengthy absences by tele- phone or visits to the home, all make up the day's work of the school nurse. Two years ago the health department added the May registration and physcho- metic examinations of the pre-school children to the program. This part of the program has a great deal to do with the parents, for it gives them an outline of the school health program and creates a better home and school relationship. The health department gives every pupil a dental and a medical examin- ation every two years. If the pupil wishes he may have chest X-rays, the Volmer Patch test, or shots for various diseases. Dr. Francis L. Lally, Sharpsville, was the medical examiner this year and Mrs. Grace Edmunds, the medical assistant. Dr. L. R. Landay, the dental exam- iner, has been at Hickory ten years. The dental clinic is supported by the Com- munity Fund. Students may get dental care for a minimum fee on the request of their parents. The health room is a combination of office, emergency room, dental clinic and a small adjoining room with two cots. I7
