PUBLIC SCHOOL 173, MANHATTAN-JUNE, l930 Dear Readers: As President of the Open Air Class, I take pleasure in telling you about it. Our object in class is to improve our health and work. In the morning before nine o'clock we have morning inspection, followed by lessons in hygiene. Some of the health topics studied have been about milk, teeth, proper foods, rest and play. After that we do our work by assigned contracts. At ten o'clock we go into the yard and play different games for about ten or hfteen minutes. When we return to our room, we have our milk period. We again continue with our work until twelve o'cIock. When we return from lunch at one o'clock we have a rest period until two o'clock, and then a short lesson in formal gymnastics. This is followed by lessons in penman- ship, composition or manual work. Our method of doing most of our work is by assigned contracts, which explains the work we do in class. The reason we have these contracts is because we have different grades from 3A to 613. We each have regu- lar help in our work every day by Miss Enoch, our teacher. I know that everyone is interested in the way the Open Air Class accomplishes work. I hope this letter explains it. Yours truly, RHODA WILD, President. Health Pledge We, of the Open Air Class, in order to gain weight and be healthy boys and girls, do the following five things: I. We clean our teeth at least twice every day. 2. We go to the dentist every six months. 3. We eat the proper foods. 4. We keep good sleeping hours. 5. We obey all of the Health Rules. GLADYs GRANAT, 6B Open Air. 0 0 9 School Medical flttention Do you all know we have a sympathetic nurse-lVIiss Callan? I will tell you what she does for us. After the doctor inspects us to hnd our defects, he records these on cards. A slip is then sent home to remind our parents to take us to the doctor to correct poor eye- sight, teeth, tonsils or adenoids. i If we cannot afford to pay, the nurse finds a clinic for us. In a few days she comes in to see if we have checked up on our defects. I hope everybody appreciates what she does for us. I know I love her. JEANETTE LOWENSTEIN, 5A Open Air. Page Forty-seven
