Health Fair Was Huge Success North Side High School was selected to host the first Health Fair ever held in Fort Wayne. Mayor Win Moses opened the Fair in a ceremony consisting of speeches and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Health Fair, sponsored by WPTA Channel 21, was held in November in our gymnasi- um. Registered nurses from our commu- nity staffed some booths, each featur- ing a different health test. Members of the Student Council assisted at the booths. There were stations in the gym for blood pressure checks, percent of fat tests, nutrition, anemia tests, and glaucoma tests for the faculty. The par- course at the IU-PU campus was opened to teams of five people each, several of our students took advantage of the event to have their heart rate monitored. Films about detecting can- cer were shown to all the students. The math classes tabulated the re- sults of the testing and the Health Fair was termed a huge success. Sophomore B ecky Renninger has her blood pres- sure checked while at the Fair. Students wait to have their blood pressure checked as part of the process.
