Assemblies
At the first health assembly two
films on the importance of caring
for the teeth were shown. Since
many of us handle food and wash
dishes in the dining hall and kitch
en, two films have been shown
about the necessity of keeping Dies
away from food, and sanitary
methods of washing dishes. Mpst
of us know these health facts, but
it is a good thing to be reminded
of them now and then.
