Report Of School
Nurse For January

received their first treatment at the
second clinic were given an Oppor-
tunity to complete their treatments.
This affected 115 children at the
three schools.
1t is interesting to note the fol-
lowing definite results traceable to
the work of the School Nurse. Two
(2) pupils have had their tonsils re-
moved. One O pupil who vas un-
aware of sigh defect, has been fitted
with glasses, while another pupil
who has very limited vision has been
placed in contact with those who
may be able to give proper advice
and guidance leading to more sat
isfactory condition.
The willingness of teachers and
pupils to cooperate with the nurse
is shown by the fact that in certain
grades the nurse was invited by pu-
pills and teachers jointly to inspect
the teeth of all pupils in these
grades each week as a part of their
personal hygiene practice. Cleanli-
ness of teeth in these rooms is one
of several points on which pupils
are scored for the privilege of hav-
ing their names on the Health Hon
or Roll of their respective rooms.
The assistance of the school nurse
in the cafeteria in the elementary
school each day is very helpful and
greatly appreciated.
Mrs. Farrow has accompanied
three 90 pupils to the chest clinic
at the health center in Milford in
order to make sure whether there
were any evidences of chest trouble.
The school nurse has made fif-
teen (15) visits to homes of children
in order to interview their mothers.
Interesting plans are being made
for the extension of the work of this
during the coming

Seventh Grade Teams
Deserve Praise
Show Real Winning Spirit

Each week the inter-class games
get more interesting. AT the be-
genning of the season the players
disobeyed every rule of basketball
technique. When they got the ball
they would either run with it or fall
on it. They have improved now until
it is worth almost as much to spend
an hour watching these games as it
is to watch a game between schools.
Among all the teams in school,
the seventh grade has as active a
team as any-(bOys as we'll as girls).
They are ready to play at any mo-
ment, and if they lose they are ask
ing to play another game until they
finally succeed in crushing their op-
ponent in one way or another.
This week the girls of 7-3 section
of the seventh grade won over the
girls from section IL by a score of
9-6.
The boys of IL won a victory of
100 from the 7-3 section.

French Glass DrGUS OIUn
Version Of Characters
In "LeS MiSerG6LeS"

Our artistic drawer, Virginia Simp-
son, is making, for the Second Year
French Glass, a drawing of Fantine,
the main character of Les Miser-
ables. LES Miserables" is the name
of the French book we have just
started to read. On the first page of
this book is a description of Fantine.
He was a man of average height,
broad, robust and in the vigor of
manhood. A leather cap was pulled
down over his eyes to hide the sun
burned face and the streams of
sweat. His large yellow shirt, at
tached to the collar by a little sill
yer anchor, was open so that anyone
could see his hairy chest; he had
twisted neck-tie, a pair of blue duck
trousers, used and torn (out at one
knee and thin at the other), an old
gray blouse in tatters, patched at
the elbows with piece of green
cloth sewed with string. On his
back was full sack, in his hand an
enormous knotted stick. His feet
were without stockings, his hair un-
cut, and his beard long. Mr. Hanna
suggested that Virginia draw this
peculiar man. If Virginia draws
Fantine as he is described, we will
think that she is an accomplished
artist.

Juniors ShOU Interest
In Class Debating

Debating was the order of each
and every day in the Junior Repeat
English class last week. 1t was the
first time that some of this class had
ever taken part in formal debates, so
any number of ridiculous things
happened. One particular argument
became very, very heated. Indeed, it
ended with Ben Manlove fairly beg
ging to be allowed "just one more
word" Miss Alden decided that
enough was enough" and the end
was the end, so Ben had TO continue
his argument elsewhere. The class
was quite pleased with itself when
our teacher told us that she thought
our first attempts at formal argu-
ment were really better than the
first Senior debates earlier this year.
Just as we were feeling very pleas
ed with ourselves, and grinDinS
from ear to ear with self-satisfac-
tion, she proceeded to tell some of
us we were lazy.
Horror of Horrors! Such injus-
tice! The result of that accusation
was an exceedingly informal discus
sion as to who is the LATEST member
of our class. OF the several candi-
dates for the title of --LATEST" Baker
seemed to be the most popular.

EllingtOn's style Of playing. AL
though Gerald likEs jazz, he also
likes classical music which he rem
ders very sweetly.
Gerald is not a bad comedian.
Those who saw the Senior play,
"Farnhurst Jewels" can testify to
that.
He is interested in scientific work.
Gerald has not decided whether he
will continue his education in some
higher institution or not. Probably
he would like to work with some
research company.
The class thinks he is a lot of
fun even if he always late getting to
school. We hope he does not take
too many holidays that are not on
the calendar; but, kidding aside, we
think that Gerald will be a great
success and anyway he's got a good
class behind him.

Schools Receive Portraits
Of George Washington
One For Every Room

AS a memorial and in celebration
of George Washingtons two hun
dredth birthday, Sol Bloom, repre-
sentative from New York in charge
of the Washington celebration. said
that he would have a picture of
George Washington put in every
schoolroom in the country.
1t looks as if he is living up to
his promise, for there is now a
large picture of George Washington
in every room of our school. These
pictures are reproduction of the
one painted by Gilbert Stuart and
this particular painting of Wash
ington is said to be the best out of
some eighty which he painted.
The pictures are unframed but it
is hoped that soon each one will be
framed and hung in a suitable place
in each class room as a tribute to
the Father of Our Country.

The emergency and first aid work
done by Mrs. Louise c. Farrow, our
School Nurse, during the month of
January consisted of the following:
Giving attention to twenty-seven
(27) children who were sent to the
nurses room i'll and cared for there;
the disposal of fifteen (15) children
who were too ill to remain in the
school and had TO be taken to their
homes; the treatment OF siXty-tWO
(G2) minor injuries; the temporary
treatment of twenty (2O) cases of
tOOthache and eight (S) cases of
earache, accompanied by advice
leading TO more permanent relief;
the treatment of three CD cases of
nose bleed, and ten 00) cases of
sore throat given temporary relief;
six (6) children taken to doctors
offices for treatment; the excluding
of fifteen (15) cases of chickenpoX,
calling for report to the State Board
of Health, and the excluding of
seventeen (17) children who had
come in close contact with chicken
poX, not having had it previously
themselves.
During this month there was a
much smaller number of skin
eruptions than heretofore, showing
that this trouble is practically dis
appearing. The same is true of ped
iculosis.
The routine work of the School
Nurse for the month consisted of
the examination of 469 pupils in the
Elementary School for tie condition
of their vision and hearing. Seven
teen (17) sucn defects wer4 found
and reported 10 parents either by
note or in person.

Second Issue Of
"HOc Et HLud''

The second year Latin class has,
with the assistance of the first
year class, published another issue
of their Latin paper, "Hoc Et Illud. !"
1t was issued this time in memory of
Washington's Bi-Centennial Birth
day. The paper was prepared in
such a hurry that only a few had
work on it.
This issue had three pages. On the
front was a story about George
Washington and a picture Of him.
The story was written by Dorothy
Joseph and the picture drawn by
Virginia Sockrider. Both girls are
first-year pupils. On the second
page we found the editorial, the
staff and Satin Today" The third
and last page was made UP of the
cOnundrums by various first-year
pupils and a small crossword puz-
zle.
The Principles Editores for the
paper were Edith Sterner and Har-
old Marvel whom we have to thank
for the publication.

Some Exciting Purchases
In Home &c Department
SalamanderS Known As Hezekiah
Obadiah

The most interesting event in re-
cent news was the purchase of two
salamanders by the Home Econom-
les classes. These are genuine Jap
anese salamanders." So declares
Sara Dickerson. We wonder how she
knows. Anyhow they were obtained
at Grants and 10 cent store at the
enormous cost of fifteen cents each.
The vicious little creatures have
their home in a jar of water, placed
on one of the tables in the Home
Economics room. They appear to be
of dull black color when one first
glances at them but upon further
inspection we notice that their ven
trail side is of a bright reddish coll
or with a few black spots mixed in.
All of the pupils have been reading
upon all of the material to be had
and the chief desire now is to learn
how to care for and what to feed
these new ornaments. Miss Como
way appeals to you all. Whoever
shall happen to come across any
profitable information pertaining to
the aforementioned subject please
report it Immediately to some of
those students in the department. .
Never before have more salaman-
ders caused so much excitement as
these. And from all appearance we
will hear more from them in the
future. To those who wish to see
the new attractions, invitations are
cordially extended. But beware!
You can never tell what they may
do.

will have George Washington and
Henry w. LOngfellow.
Some members of this class have
quite an interesting collection of
pictures and clipping about these
great men.
Mildred Hammond has charge of
a class book which also contains
much interesting material.
Section III, Mrs. Travers' section
of the fifth grade is collecting inter-
esting material for geography. Each
member of the class has written
letters to the Chamber of Commerce
of different cities asking for free
materials. When the material is re-
ceived the person who receives it
make an oral report on the contents
then the material is put on a table
where any Of the pupils may use it.
AT the present time, the class is
writing thank you" letters for this
material.
Section III of the fifth grade
ranked first in attendance for the
month of January. Therefore the
students are very proud to have the
statute Child at Study" in their
room for the month.
The other sections of the fifth
grade have been planning a program
for Washington Birthday.

The three sections of the first
grade have celebrated every impor-
tant day in February. February 18th

The second grade also celebrated
George Washington's Birthday. The
pupils of Miss Breisch's room gave
a little play. Those in Miss SWANS
room had recitations and readings,
and Miss Garrison's pupils likewise
had a suitable program.
Much interest has been displayed
by Miss Swain's pupils in collecting
material for making Washington's
scrapbook. Each contains a short
story of his life, pictures drawn by
the children, clipping and scenes
from papers or magazines.
The fourth grade has a honor roll
for clean teeth. Their teeth are in

You know. the ball just jumped into

this is too much exertion for his

NeIU Castle Boys Win
DiUiSiOn Championship
Milford Quintet Loses by 3G TO IL
Score

Friday night, February 10, the
Milford Buccaneers travelled to Do
yer to play New Castle for the
championship of Divisions A and D.
Our boys played a hard game, but
were not quite a match to stop last
years State Champs. Nevertheless
the first quarter, which ended in a
tie A, looked good. Stevenson made
three foul shots and Clendaniel one
to make up the score, while the
guards held New Castle to two field
goals. But during the second quar-
ter the team from upstate started
a hard attack, making seven field
goals to our three points, ending the
half 1877.
In the third quarter, Berry, the
New Castle captain, after fOuling
GOvatos, fell into the brick wall,
cutting his head so badly that he
had to be taken to the hospital, but
came back in about fifteen minutes.
Soon after that Roosa was hit in the
throat, and it looked as though in a
little while both teams might have
to stop for each of the players. One
field goal and a foul by Watson and
two other foul shots by Vinyard and
Clendaniel in this quarter ended the
scoring for Milford. The New Castle
boys tailed seven field goals and
four fouls in the last hell, making
the final score 36-12.
Milford played hard and clean the
entire game and are to be congYatu-
lated on the way they stood up
against New Castles strong team.

next year!

night of the play. Both Miss Will

mission to see the play and then
stayed back scenes to help make up
the players. They gave their SER
vices free of charge and even reGus-
