cMecdtk Pn pjGA i tyoA, MISS GRACE L. CROWE received her B.S. from Carney Hospital School of Nurs¬ ing, and also attended Boston University. Miss Crowe is our capable resident nurse here in M.H.S., and supervising nurse of the Malden Public Schools. A gradu¬ ate of Bridgewater Teachers’ College, where she was awarded her B.S., is our health in¬ structor, MRS. FLORENCE K. PARKER. Mrs. Parker is also head adviser of the Class of 1954. One of the most important places in M.H.S. is our Health department Each year the different classes re¬ ceive health tests. Among them are the Massachusetts vision test, the pure tone audiometer test, and the patch tuberculin test, given in the junior year. The health course has been revived within the past few years to help our students become intelligently ac¬ quainted with future responsibilities. Here we see Miss Crowe testing but one pair of eyes of many hundreds in MJH.S. This is one of her annual tasks and tends to aid the student who is unable to receive care or is unaware of some eye defect. The Maldonian camera catches this group of students listening to the strange as¬ sortment of sounds issuing forth from the ear testing apparatus under Miss Crowe’s direction. [ 20 ]
