Bank Encourages Student Saving by Payment of 4% Interest The bank started its now booming career by introducing the student body to the advantages of saving at a school bank that pays 4% interest a year. Every day during the official banking hours, dozens of students enter the bank to deposit a few more pennies into their ever-growing ac¬ counts. The money is available to depositors at all times for withdrawal. Mr. Beamer, who was the first to open an account, now numbers as only one among hundreds of students and teachers who have an account at the bank. Every bank requires a name, and what could be more ap¬ propriate than “The Thrifty Eagles Nest.” Because of Mike Bishop’s imagination, the bank had a name . . . and Mike was ten dollars richer. Students acting as tellers and secretaries have learn ed many of the procedures of effective banking, which will I be of great value in preparing these students for future employment. Miss Bevis and Mrs. Thompson, directors of li the bank, envision a financially successful organization : that will prove to be a valuable tool of education in the |t years to come.

Clinic Helps Students Keep Close Check on Health The clinic opened this year with the fresh new face of Mrs. Peppe, Edison’s nurse. Many students assist Mrs. Peppe on a voluntary basis, during their free period each day. These aids gain useful medical experience by taking temperatures, and applying medications for scratches and bruises. The girls also perform such useful tasks as making beds, cleaning-up, answering the phone, and calling parents to pick up ill students. The recording of such important data as the results of dental and tuberculosis checks and yearly vision and auditory test is also done by these busy assist¬ ants. Because of the students’ willingness to serve and Mrs. Peppe’s broad medical ability, tbe clinic bas become one of the most efficient services of the school. “Thank goodness for the infirmary,” sighs Marie Bonbrake. School nurse, Mrs. Peppe, checks student health records. CLINIC HELPERS Left to Right: Diana Grimes, Linda Micelle, Diane Honeycutt, Kathy Back, Janice Johnson, Carolyn Friday, Nadine Levine. 16
