2, irons' HE LTH One of the most extensive student welfare programs carried on in W. l. is the health pro- gram. A nurse is in the building almost all the time. Miss Jean and Mrs. Fisher have helped to keep us in topnotch health this year. Our eyes and ears were checked to insure our abilities to read and hear well. Each year our dental hygienist comes to school to examine our teeth for decay. She notifies us if there is any repair work to be done. Dr. Aliberto is the school doctor. Though he makes his annual spring visit to check each student from head to toe in order to insure perfect health, he is called on several other times throughout the year by the students and faculty. Our medical staff is always on hand with C1 smile and a cheerful word, so that students find little discomfort upon entering the nurse's office, no matter what the occasion. lfflfjl' I'l-jlllf C3

The General Organization guided by Miss Worthington, elected four ofhcers to direct the many and varied activities of our students. The G. O. was very active this past year under the capable leadership of Pete Hofstedt, Scott Bearce, Bobbie Clary, and Jemma McGowan. Functioning within the council are six com- mittees. The Social Hour, Social Service, Inter- class Track Meet, Student Assembly, Traffic, and Lost and Found Committees were supported by the G. O. in their activities of the year. Two gala dances, collections tor the Salvation Army and the March of Dimes, and the annual Inter-class Track Meet stand out as admirable additions to the fine record of the General Organization at Washington Irving High School. 4' T Page seven fQ'YLEAS MQEQ

Purser Ship's Clerk Every ship has a main office equipped with a clerk and purser. No ship's clerk was ever as busy as our secretary, Marilyn Prior. She compiled the bulletin, patiently listened to our requests and excuses, and did a thousand and one other jobs. Just as the purser handles the money on a ship, so Mr. Collins kept accounts at W. l. All who have worked with him know of his fine work and patient, kind helpfulness. A ship's passengers sometimes forget the faithful crew who keep the vessel going, so too did we often forget W.l.'s mainte nance crew, which kept the school neat and clean. To Mr. Ander- son, the ianitors, and especially Mr. Erickson, who is retiring after twenty years of faithful service to W. l., we say Thank you. As the above picture indicates the main office in Washington Irving High School is o scene of student and administration activity, The pleasant attitude of our busy secretary provides a fine atmosphere in which the school business is carried on. Crew Janitors: Grant Snyder, Arthur Anderson Cwith Bossoml, Carl Erickson, George Dixon, John Morgotta, Lawrence Brown, and Pat Staffiero. I .
