JEAN WHITE FIVE
YEARS AT L.H. S.
Miss White haa been an inspiration
In the Freshman classes for five years:
She has had supervision of the Fresh
man English classes almost exclusive
ly during this period. That Is, ex
clusive of those that enter school at
mid-year. However, during this pe
riod. Miss White has had one class
of Sophomore English students. The
present enrollment in English- II Is
approximately 150 students.
The Freshman class is greatly In
debted to Miss White for its excel
lent showing In the pep contest. At
present they occupy second place with
a very small margin between them
and the Seniors. As head class ad
visor, she also supervises and directs
Freeh man talent assemblies and
stunts.
PULMOTOR SEEN
AT FIRE STATION
Members of the Senior First Aid
class, which meets every Tuesday eve
ning in the city building, were highly
pleased to see more than half of the
class's personnel answer a fire alarm
last Tucsdoy night. All of the fire
men are taking the course and the
other members have been wanting to
see them answer an alarm. They olid
down the poles very nicely, and left
the class In a turmoil, but with a
grutlfied desire. While they were
gone, one of the remaining firemen
demonstrated the us6 of a pulmotor.

Jn building a background for his

Important." la connection with this
fact. Dr. Boctvy, says that high school
students are moulding their pathway
for the future, ie. .they are building
character- which will determine their
future pursuits of life.
The principal eeoentlals required In
getting an M: D. .degree are good
health, a good' mind and a good
character. Without thee qualities
one' cannot expect to succeed as a
doctor. In the field of medicine one
must continue his study, le. he must
be satisfied with his study and Just
keep on studying and learning'.
Dr. Bouvy spoke of the Mayo clin

very important help and most for
tunate for an individual going Into
