Health.. Maintenance.. Testing WE DIDN'T NEED AN APPLE Ka Choo!” . . . Say Ah! . . . Take two of these daily! . . . are familiar words which remind us of our Health Department. Once again we are indebted to Miss Mary Neuberger and Doctor Fred Marrs who have performed such noteworthy service in providing us with excellent medical service. THEY MADE THE HALLS A LITTLE BRIGHTER Too often we take for granted the work of the maintenance staff which has served us so well during the past year. From them we were always assured of the best possible service. To them we owe a debt of gratitude which can be but partially repaid with a sincere Thank You. NOT A MORON IN A CARLOAD A recent innovation at CSTC is the college testing bureau which provides students with a comprehensive battery of tests designed to guide them in their vocational selections. This service, though originally established to assist veterans, has been made available to all other students. Many of us have tried it... . it's time well spent. 16

Primary Council The Primary Council is organized under the valuable guidance of Miss Susan Colman, Director of the Primary Division. This organization is a student member of the National Association for Childhood Education. Primary Council consists of ail the students who have enrolled in the Primary Department. Because Council members are aware of their responsibility to give each child the best possible start in his formal education, the girls realize their need for a love and understanding of children and for good academic standings. The Council has frequent meetings to promote interest in the various phases of primary work. It also offers an opportunity for wholesome recreation. The training in the Primary Department consists of academic courses for the first two years to give the students the necessary cultural background before entering upon their professional studies. The last two years are spent in advanced courses which instruct them in the techniques of teaching small children. Through observation and actual practice teaching in the training school, the future primary teachers learn to understand and to guide children. First semester the Primary Council had Martha Stock at its president. Second semester these duties were taken over by Jeannette See. The other officers were Lorraine Levra, vice-president, Betty Dietz, secretary, and Margaret Roberts, treasurer. 18
