SUBJECTS ARE INTERESTING Mary Betterly I will open my contribution to this program by reading the nine ways in which the schools aid in promoting health : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. By cooper ating with parents in an effort to have every beginner enter school free from remediable defects. By providing for every child beau t iful clean , comfortable, buildings, and playfields , includ ing good light, abundan t ven tila tion , sui table seats, and clean washrooms. By a wholesome and happy school atmosphere and routine. By a wholesome recreation both in and ou t of doors , looking toward a wise use of leisure. By training in health habits in school and coopera tion with parents to secure right habits out of school hours. By studying the facts of personal hygiene and public sanitation which everyone needs to know relative to disease control , garbage, sewage, pure air, street cleaning, water supply and pure food. By developing an appreciation of health as a foundation of happiness and a vital common purpose of the race. By regular health examinations and the correction of defects. By making special provisions for undernourished or handicapped eViii rlr pn. A principal task of the modern school is to lay the foundation for physical resistance to the increasing health and safety hazards of an industrial age. The schools teach hygienic habits of living. They instruct youth in the dangers of narcotics, alcohol and oth or poisons. More healthful clothes more comfortable and better ventila t ed ho m es, cleaner streets and better planned cities are the results of education in sanitation. The schools provido corrective exercises for physical defocts. Many schools are equipped with medical and dental clinics to minister to needs as soon as they are discovered. Trained nurses detect disease before it reaches an advanced stage. Special typo buildings are provided for cripplod childron ; special care is given to the blind ; opon-air classes avo organized for tho anomic and tubercular ; programs of mental hygiene promote the development of sound minds; undernourished children avo aided in maintaining a balanced diot; school lunchrooms furnish wholesome foods; home economics classes tnnch tho proper pvopavation of food for tho home and the care of tho sick; courses in civics emphasize community sanitation and health, Modern school buildings provido honlthful housing; they safeguard against accident ; they protect childContinued On PttRo Four Freshman Star. The Band Makes Their First Appearance. Customs Are Still in Force . Amid the tooting of horns from a few ardent Frosh ban d members and before a good sized crowd of students mostly Frosh who were personally interested in result , t he annual football classic between Frosh and Upperclassmen was staged on Saturday, November 21. The final score was 6-0. Customs are still on. Until the last j sriod there was not much of an exhibition of scien tific play by either team and if it hadn 't been for the Frosh Band the crowd would have become very restless. Bo t h t eams resorted to t he air bu t not until the last quarter did passes work effectively. Af ter an exchange of punts by Krauss, Upperclass pivot man , and Shakofski, Frosh booter , in the last quarter , the upperclass had the ball on Forsh 's 40-yard line. A pass by Krauss, good for 20 yards and two line bucks by Coursen put the ball on the 12-yard line . On the next play Krauss threw a long pass t o Washeleski in t he lef t corner of the field for the lone touchdown of the day. This broke the spirit of all Frosh on the side lines , bu t the Frosh team began to "click" with their passes. After four plays, three of them passes, the ball was on the Upperclass 9-yard line with only 40 seconds to trn. A pass failed and Valen te was stopped in his tracks as the game ended. The kicking and passing by Milt Krauss and strong defensive power of Griffiths were two of the most brillian t factors in the Upperclass victory. First Half. Upperclassmen won the toss and alec ted to defend the south goal. W asheleski kicked off t o t he Frosh 30-yard line where Shakofski took the ball. On the first play he sliced off lef t tackle for a gain of 2 yards. Several attempts to go through the line failed , an d t he Fr osh decided t o kick , but were stopped and thrown for a loss. The second attempt to kick was successful and Krauss returned the ball to the midefild. A few line plunges were unsuccessful but an off-sides by the Frosh and a brilliant run by Coursen gave the Upperclass first ilown. Griffiths tore threw the Frosh li ne for a gain of 7 yards.

Amend Constitution At the regular meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce it was voted by the club to amend two sections of the Constitution. The changes made concerned in the number of meetings and the dues. The meetings are now to be held twice a month and the dues, which were formei-ly one dollar a semester, have been changed to one dollar a year. Tho extra-curricular credit has also been placed on the yearly basis. That is, if one desires to get credit for extra-curricular activity one must be enrolled in the organization for the entire year. This change enables members to retain their enrollment in the Junior Chamber of Commerce as well as in, some other activity. What They Want Jack Bock—Fifty thousand more women to sigh over him.
