SNIFF, SNIFF, STEAK AGAIN. DO I HAVE AN APPETITE! SPAGHETTI ON THE MENU! PAGING MISS NIGHTINGALE Treading Warily in the Wake of Flor- ence Nightingale, girls with nursing am- bitions are taking a course in home hygiene. The course emphasizes good health and its natural effects-prevention and control of communicable diseases. Upon completion the students are given a test similar to the State Board test given to all nurses. Those who pass the test receive recognition from Washington. TIME OUT FOR LUNCH! Heavens, I can hardly wait 'till lunch! I always have such an appetite. Maybe lt's the rustic appearance of the cafeteria Mreminds one of picnics, out-door af- fairs, or lunch in some cozy lodge in the mountains. Of course, the appetizing menus supervised by Miss Ann Monaghan, assisted by Miss Mary Souka have a great deal of influence. i it BRACE UP NOW, YOU'LL RECOVER Ninety-two

Ei, ' 5 , , THIS EAR IRRIGATION WILL RELIEVE THE PAIN 3 NURSES IN THE ROUGH Ninety-four LET ME SHOW YOU MY OPERATION! Did I tell you about my operation? Possibly Theodore Woodrow speaking, for he is one of the many students who had their tonsils removed in the medical room of the school. This finely equipped room has facilities permitting minor operations which are performed by Dr. Knauer, school phy- sician. Students commencing a new school term are required to undergo a physical ex- amination. Teeth, eyes, ears, tonsils, throat, chest, and heart are tested. In establishing a policy which is ultra- modern and the aim of the future genera- tion--preventing of disease before it is acquired-the school provides a tuberculin test to discover susceptibility to tubercu- losis, and cold serum injections to pre- vent colds. Infra-red lamps treat colds, pains, and sprains. Ultra-violet lamps correct skin conditions and act as a stim- ulant. A telebinocular is the sight test- ing apparatus used for testing the effici- ency of the eye. The latest and most modern instrument used by up-to-date schools for hearing tests is the audiometer, which is included in the equipment.
