HEALTH SERVICE The school health service in West Reading, the first to be developed in Berks County outside of Reading, is as concentrated and complete as any health service department in a public school in Pennsylvania. It surpasses requirements set up by the Pennsylvania State Department of Health and Instruction ...... Mrs. Sara Stanton, R.N., a graduate of Reading Hospital, holds the full-time position of school nurse, While Mrs. A. O. Henne, a graduate of Thomas Evans Insti- tute of the University of Pennsylvania, acts as dental hygienist. The school also employes the services of Dr. Harry W. Bagenstose for medical examinations of our athletes. Each pupil received a complete medical examination, with laboratory tests if necessary, in grades 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. All teachers are given the same examination by the physician every two years. Dr. Roy K. Lein- bach is also employed to make a thorough dental examination of all pupils every year. CUSTODIANS Our Alma Mater is kept spic and span by a hard working trio composed of Charles Merkel, Jesse Spence, and Howard Bennethum. These men have duties which are varied and exacting. There are many evident jobs such as Hoor maintenance, heating, and ventilation. In addition, there are many duties which are sometimes even more difi- cult, though not realized by the average person at school. Our janitors must be constantly on their toes to see that those'tasks necessary to the running of the school plant are performed in the most efhcient and scientific manner. These three men have been especially generous in their help at various school functions and in rendering many extra courtesies to students and teachers. OFFICE STAFF With the introduction of modern and more ad- vanced methods of school administration, the work of the office staff has become increasingly greater and more complicated. All day long the staff is busy answering phones, cutting stencils, taking letters, and attending to many other tasks. Mrs. Marjorie Mishler, Mr. Strattan's secretary, left us in February to further her education. Mrs. Grace Hamilton has replaced Mrs. Mishler. Mrs. Hamilton was overwhelmed by the write-up of her arrival in the Lariat and remarked about the friendliness of the West Reading students. She attended Lebanon High School and Lebanon Business College. Mrs. Betty Fassnacht is the other half of the duo. She can often be seen in the office busily typing or hurrying through the halls on some errand. She attended Reading High School and McCann's Business School. Thirteen
