I ' ieroe GIRLS ' AND BOYS ' COURTS THE purpose of the Girls ' and Boys ' Courts is to try all cases pertaining to dis- order or disobedience to the policies of the school. They also try to maintain discipline and bring a closer and more friendly feeling among the students. The two courts each consist of a judge and a jury of four who decide the pun- ishment of the students who are brought to court. The main oflense for which girls are brought into court is for not wearing the regulation uniform. Any girl who is unable to wear the uniform dress may secure a permit from the judge by bringing a satisfactory excuse from home. The permit must be obtained before the first period, otherwise she is liable to a court summons. The uniform consists of a white middle with regulation dark blue detachable collar and culTs and a blue tie. Red or blue middies are also accepted. Other court sum- mons are given for eating in the halls, leaving the school grounds without a permit, or defacing school property. The most important law that the Boys ' Court upholds is that of no smoking on the school grounds. This is a very serious offense. The judge also punishes such offenses as ungentlemanly conduct on the school grounds, rowdyism in the halls, and throwing papers on the lawns. The officers of the Boys Court are: Judge, Walt Nielson; jurors, Warren Had- dock, Chester Kingsland, Walt Cavanaugh and Wayne Murdock. The officers of the Girls ' Court are: Judge, Jessie Holman; jurors, Catherine Lymn, Priscilla Pierce, Anne Killefer, Lillian Kennedy. Twtnty-two

r THE SCHOOL NURSE VALUABLE new department has been added to the high school staff within the past year. The school nurse, Mrs. Proudfoot, has become an important personage in the welfare of R.U.H.S. students. The duties of the school nurse are varied. They include first aid, health educa- tion, health advice, and assistance in the welfare work of the school. The nurse takes the part of a cooperative officer between the various depart- ments in the school. In this way she helps the student to become a completely inte- grated personality. A picture of the home and all the conditions surrounding the student ' s life is brought to the school by the home visits of the nurse. Through medical examinations and the follow-up work that is necessary, the programs of the students have been changed to fit the conditions. Interviews with parents, students, and teachers combine to help the student form a well nourished, healthy, happy personality with all the handicaps removed. For many years R.U.H.S. has been without a nurse, and has been dependent upon the Physical Education Department for its first aid. Because of the work already in this department, it was unable to go farther than to render service merely for first aid. With this new department established, the health of all the students can be carefully watched and guarded. Mrs. Proudfoot has been able to help many students maintain their health by making a few sound suggestions. Many of the programs of the students have been changed to enable the pupil to spend a more restful day. This department is steadily growing in its importance and even now ranks among the first of R.U.H.S. Tttvnly-oitf
