Visual Aids Are
Helpful In Classes

Several classes have been made
much more interesting recently, by
the help of visual aids in connection
with their studies.
Mr.. Pennington showed the movie,
playground U.S.A.," to his 81, 9-3,
ga and 9-5 civics classes. The mo-
vie compared town with recreation
centers to town without any, show
ing how such centers help prevent
juvenile delinquency and unite a
community.

An Interview With
Our Health Nurse

A very active young lady, about
whom, unfortunately, little is known
is currently here in connection with
her duties as health nurse from the
Department of Health. She is Miss
Patricia Welder, who is here every
Tuesday and Thursday afternoon,
checking the students for illnesses
which she, in cooperation with the
Health Clinic, can help to cure. If
she notices any defects or major all
mentss in the children sent to her by
teachers, she confers with the par
ents and tries to arrange a treatment
for them. This is a very useful
public service.
Miss Welder was born in Martins
burg, W. Va, went to school at Ha-
gerstown High, then entered nursing
school at Union Memorial Hospital,
Baltimore. After three years of
nursing study, Miss Welder gradual
ed in 1916. She highly enjoys nurs-
ing as profession and hopes to con-
tinue in it.

Mr.. Alfred Roth, supervisor of vo-
cational courses in all schools of
Washington County, spoke to the civ
les sections 90 and ga Wednesday,
February l, on the Vocational Educa-
ton Program and the particular vo-
cation of truck driving.
He outlined the vocational courses
at the high school, as follows: work
ing with electricity, auto repairing,
graphing, sheet metal work and
home economics. The purpose of
these courses is to teach boys and
girls to do specific jobs.
Boys who are interested in auto
mobiles are taken to the vocational
center or auto shop, where they get
half days instruction each week
on auto painting, greasing, repairing,
etc. The boys who are interested in
machinery are taken to the machine
shop across from the vocational cen
ter, where they learn to operate all
kinds of machines, both automatic
and manual.
Mr.. Roth explained that the home
economics course for girls gives them
the real experience of home life, in
stead of reading it from book. He
also said that there is a great de-
mand for girls in the home nursing
field.
In regard TO truck driving, Mr..
Roth summarized the qualifications
of truck driver as follows: expert
ence in truck driving, knowledge of
the mechanics of the truck, ability to
repair trucks, training in loading and
unloading cargo, and the ability to
make bills and keep books. The du-
ties vary for different kinds of truck
ing.
Mr.. Roth also gave information on
the requirements for the job, which
are: good physical condition, excel
lent eyesight, alertness, experience,
pleasing personality, courtesy, So
briefly and knowledge of safety. Most
training, he remarked, is obtained on
the job instead of through books. The
training is usually begun by driving
lightweight trucks.
He reported the average earnings
of a local truck driver to be approx

AS We See 1t

It's high time some people begin
to learn something about the
school they attend.
A recent survey has shown that:
q out of group of 90 eighth
graders didn't know who teaches
metal shop; 8 didn't know who
teaches biology; AZ didn't know
the algebra teacher; s didn't know
the art instructor; 8 didn't know
when the last PIT. A. meeting was
held; 40 didn't know the name of
the Latin Club; SO didn't know
who the PIT. A. president is, and
81 didn't know how many basket
ball games the present lOth-grade
girls have lost.
We suggest that you read your
school paper, because in it you
will learn things that you ordinar-
lily would not have known.
For example: in the January lo
issue there was an interview with
Mr.. Robert Babcock, the metal
shop teacher; two weeks ago there
was a story about Mr.. Green BIZ
ology classes; currently there have
been articles about Mr.. Griffith,
the algebra teacher.
Last week we ran a story about
the art instructor, Mr.. Willard,
and regularly there are announce
ments of the Inter-Nos Club of
the Latin students. Also last week
there was an interview with MIR.
Robert Myers, president of the
PIT. A., and of course, there are
always basketball activities, and
we should all know that the 10Th
grade girls have never lost a game.
So, read your school paper. En-
Joy it, and at the same tine &C
quaint yourself with whats going
on at your school.

mately $4,000 to $500 per week, and
ranging up to $4,000 or $4,000 per
week for tractor-t trailer drivers.
Among the advantages of truck
driving the speaker listed: good
wages, good working conditions, fair
ly easy job and opportunity for see
ing the country.
Some of the disadvantages are:
frequently away from home, incon-
venient hours, great nervous strain
and great responsibilities.
The county supervisor questioned
the class about names of different
types of trucks and asked what type
trucks they would use for different
loads and distances.
Mr.. Roth surprised and elated the
group with this closing statement:
ut is possible that by the time you
reach the eleventh grade, we will
have acourSe in truck driving"

eminent - Are Welcomed By
The Mayor And Department
Heads.
Civics sections go and 9-5 toured
the city hall last Friday, under the
guidance of Mr.. William E. Penning-
ton.
The combined classes were i'm
pressed, and not little awed, by
the magnitude of the Council cham
Der, where they heard a short speech
in which the Mayor gave a working
explanation of the seating of the
council, and briefly told of the funct-
tions of the Police and Engineering
Departments.
His Honor then went on to tell of
the running of the council and how
it regulates the city's business. Next,
he related the powers of the Mayor
and Council and how they were vest
ed with them. He also explained the
election system of the city govern
ment in a clear, concise manner.
A change in the sewage bills, he
explained, was necessitated by the
fact that the city is losing too much
money, with the present sewage
rates, which were based on the num-
Der of bathroom facilities rather
than the amount of water used. So
the sewage bills will now be includ-
ed in the water bills.
He then added a fact, unknown
before to most of us, that the money
taken from the parking meters at
the market house is put in a fund
for new city-owned parking lots.
At the end of the speech, the stu
dents asked many questions, proving
