Keeping in mind that a student who isn't physically fit cannot learn pr perly, the school up- holds its health department as a very important part of the educational syst m. The purpose of the health program is to try to prevent sickness rather than to treat it. In order to fulfill this purpose, Miss Dorothy Binkley, the school n rse, gives and assists in giving various types of examinations to students throughout the year. These different types ofexamining include visual and audiometric screening, physical examinations and dental examinations. Every student was weighed, measured and had his eyes checked this year. An audiometric examination was given to eighth, tenth, and twelfth grade class members. Eleventh grade pupils and allthose participating in sports were given physical examinations. Dental examinations were given to seventh graders. Besides Miss Binkley , other personnel ofthe health department are Mrs. Robert L. Adams, Dr. Joseph Prowell, and Henry C. Stouffer, Jr.,D,D.S, .gf School nurse, Miss Binkley, checks dental equipment in the health room. 12
