Nurse and dietitian join in health efforts Mrs. Gordon checks the list of students who left school. By working together, the nurse and the cafeteria staff ensured the health of all John Marshal l students. Students relied upon the nurse for health emergencies and general first aid, while the cafeteria provided them with well-bal- anced meals. Health examinations were given to all new students and juniors. They were also administered to all those who wished to participate in sports. If defects were found, the students were referred to their physician, dentist, or to a clinic. Mrs. Gordon worked throughout the school year giving treatment for such emergencies as broken bones, sprained ankles, cuts, and burns and, to help thwart re- spiratory diseases, seniors were given free chest x-rays. To meet the requirements of the State Department of Educa- tion, a hot lunch and a cold lunch were offered each day. These lunches were designed to meet two-thirds of the daily nutritional requirement. The cafeteria manager and her staff worked with the students in their many social activities and, on many occasions, they acted as hostesses for guests. To see if a bandage is necessary, Mrs. Gordon examines Peggy Jones’ wrist. 18 Gladys C. Gordon R.N., P.H.N., U. of Va.

Secretaries keep up organized routine age “But I have to go home and get my notebook.” “Why can’t I leave without seeing the nurse?” “But I couldn’t help it if the bus broke down!” These were just thtee of the minor emergencies faced and coped with by the office secretaries. Besides performing the normal office duties of typing letters, completing reports for the administration, and an- swering the telephone, the secretaries continuously aided per- plexed students and relayed messages from worried parents. They were also busy assisting teachers with the daily routine of cutting stencils, completing college transcripts, filing, and duplicating. The diplomacy and efficiency of capable secretaries succeeded in keeping the office operation smooth throughout the year. a oe re or ie . ny» «£ Mary Culligan Nellie P. Henson Rebecca F. Kate M.
