In addition to the high school students, all the teachers and the school bus drivers also were included and were to have X-rays taken of their lungs. The results of this X-ray were very satisfactory. lt is hoped that another clinic can be held in the near future and that all the school children can be examined next time. 0 0 31

They did however get to the finals and lost by a score of 3 to 2. Practically an entire new team was in the field. The majority of the players were freshmen and sophomores and a record of 7 wins and 3 losses was made. Gerald Stewart who pitched most of the games during the fall season left for the service in the middle of October and another pitcher or two will have to be developed to take turns with Jimmy Dooley on the mound. A schedule for the spring season has not been drawn up as yet with the ex- ception of two games with North High of Des Moines, Last Springs Record Las! F-HIVS Record M. H.

CLEAN TOWEL SYSTEM 'l'he Letter Club started a noteworthy project this year when they decided in favor of a towel system. lt is hoped that this will be permanent. ln starting the project four dozen towels were purchased. Every person going out for a sport was to donate one towel. Thus there are approximately seven dozen towels in the supply. Practically every student in lligh School and junior lligh also gave twenty-five cents to help cover the expense of 3545 which included the cost of towels, buying a washing-machine, tub, wringer, and clothes racks. The manual training boys take turns doing the washing in the annex room off the shop. liot and cold water have been piped into the room and the outlet drain which was already there, is used conveniently. With this arrangement a towel is used but once and every boy or girl has a clean towel every day. Athletic equipment can also be washed and kept in good condition. -rr ff 1: is WATER APPROVAL Difficulties with the water system that had been of an extended nature caused the board to make some repairs on the pipes and pump. Samples of water were sent to the State Department of Health both before and after finishing the work and a satisfactory test and official approval resulted. aff fi -xr fr DENTAL CLINIC Mr. Hoffman, from the State Health Department in Des Moines, came on November ZZ to examine the students' teeth and advised them what to do if dental work was needed. This was part of a state wide project and was done free of charge. The reason for this was that many of the men going to the Armed Services were found to have defective teeth. They hoped by this project to discover the decayed teeth and correct them now before they had a chance to get worse. 00 4 32
