THE ANN UAL OFFICE HEALTH CAFETERIA ANNA M. Gmnmz Secy. to Supt. EDITH H. SMITH Secy. to Prim. RUTH E. lNlAR'l'IN Im. W. L. THUNHURST EDNA D. CALLAGHAN MRS. E. S.

Hence, Wilkinsburg High School has as a part of its school work, classes in the science of health and its practical application. A yearly medical examination is a part of the health programg it serves not only to check serious illness among the students, but also to point out minor defects which need cor- rection by family physicians, dentists or oculists. Thus it may be seen that we are ever active in our campaign for the conservation of that important natural resource, public health. Scholarship Scholarship-the ability and inclination to study-has always been revered. Since the days of ancient Greece it has been recognized as an important factor in a well balanced life. During the twentieth century there has been a tendency to drift away from the intellectual to the purely practical aspects of life. At pres- ent however, there seems to be taking place a definite reaction to this tendency, and there is a renewal of interest in mental enjoyment. We are proud to know that our school has never swerved from our intellectual goal and that intellectual and practical training go hand in hand. T Chapel Chapel in VVilkinsburg High School has always meant more to the students than any other single factor. This daily half-hour period is looked upon as a source of spiritual and intellectual stimulation, the value of which cannot be overrated. The service, simple and quiet, includes a prelude, a Scripture reading by a student leader, the Lord's Prayer, choral responses by the a cappella choir, and a hymn by the entire group. Yet, the spirit in which these meetings are held is such that alumni, in recalling their high school days, think first of chapel, and they plan their visits to their alma mater so as not to miss this period of the day. 22
