HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Genevieve Dyer, trained nurse
from the Colorado tuberculosis asso-
citation was assisted one day last week
in her work of examination of all
school pupils, by Miss Ida Spaeth,
Field secretary for the association.
The results of Miss Dyer's work
should, we believe, prove most help
full, especially in those instances
where the corrective measures need
ed are pointed out and her directions
followed.
No books for school work for two
whole days last week, at least a very
few had to suffice for lot of folks
to study from, when the school board
employed Mr.. F. o. Bayer of Salt
Lake, to examine all old or worn
books and rebind all that could be
repaired. With the exception of
books ordered this year, our students
were working with very poor lot
Many were found to be already be-
yond repair. Hundreds of books,
however, were returned to students
as good as new for all practical pur-
poses. and in many instances ap-
peared to be bound even more du-
rably than when new. Special efforts
are now being made by teachers and
students alike to preserve, as well as
possible, this much improved condi-
tion of our texts.
The attendance in the A first
dropped to less than half the enroll
ment during the past week because
of the prevailing epidemic of colds.
Gunnison county won in the con-
test for the sale of the largest
amount of Red Cross Xmas seals,
and as reward the Colorado To
berculosis association has cent a
trained nurse to work among the
schools in an effort to emphasize the
Importance of personal hygiene as a
means of health preservation. Since
a nurse is employed regularly in the
Gunnison schools, it was agreed to al
low the nurse sent by the association
to spend her full time in Crested
Butte. The generosity thus displayed
and the efforts put forth during the
campaign are greatly appreciated
Miss Dyer, the nurse from the Asso-
citation, began her work of demon
stration and examination of students
Wednesday morning. We believe
that too much in matter of teaching
the principles that make for better
health cannot be done and it is with
the keenest appreciation that we fol-
low up the work of this nature.
The high school was favored
Wednesday morning, March Z, with a
talk given by Mr.. A. L. Lichty, vice
president of the C. F. & I. company,
on ''The Value of College Educa-
tion.P Mr.. Lichty's talk was one
which inspired every student, because
it was filled with many instances of
his own trials as school boy and the
success of those who work their way
through college. We hope to have
Mr.. Lichty with us again and give
another talk on success.
Senior class held meeting March
13, to discuss the Senior play and the
purchasing of class rings.
The Junior class held meeting
on Tuesday, March 13, to make plans
for junior-senior banquet to be
given some time in April, We are
looking forward to this event and we
hope that this tradition will hereaf-
ter be carried out by every class
hereafter.
