Troublesome Problems—
DECENTLY, our report cards came to us and with that event,
a few troublesome problems were presented to the
teachers. Every six weeks a few unsatisfied students file up
to the teachers’ desks to register their various protests but
they are usually provided with a sound reason in the form
of the teachers' daily class record book It’s only human to
remember our best or perfect papers and forget all the sad
grades that we made on our "bad days.”
One other difficulty that always faces the teachers after
the cards have been given out is the problem of getting them
back. It never fails that someone loses his cards, mama washes
them in the back pocket of Junior’s jeans, or, for some quite
innocent reason, they forgot to show them to the folks.
Ix't's all try to co-operate with our teachers this six-weeks
and every six-weeks by trying to improve those grades by
hard work and getting those cards back promptly.—Darla
Hinricksen.

desired by each individual stu-
dent.

Device Arouses Curiosity, But
Proves Real Aid for Students
By Dolor** Onoth
The nature of a curious electronic-looking device being
carried from school to school has challenged the imagination
first graders through highschool students. Actually, it is
an audiometer used by Mrs. Helen Dever, veteran school nurse,
in her regular health inspection program.
In the picture above, Mrs. Dever administers an audio-
meter test to one of the sophomore boys, Johnny Schmoyer.
These tests are given to each student once a year and if he
does not pass, it is recommended that his parents consult with
the family physician on the
uy .
student’s hearing.
Just what started all this? There
hasn't always been a school nurse
in El Reno. Eleven years ago Mrs.
Dever realized the need for such a
program in the El Reno system and
taking up the challenge she began
to work half-days.
Has Nursing Dagraa
Mrs. Dever is particularly well
qualified for such a position. She
received her registered nurse de-
gree from Michael Reese hospital,
Chicago. 111., where she developed
a great interest in this field. Now
she visits Central, Hillcrest, Irving,
Lincoln, Rose Witcher and Webster
elementary schools and Etta Dale
junior highschool, El Reno high-
school and Booker T. Washington
schools where she spends one day
at each in that order.
Since beginning this program
Mrs. Dever has witnessed a great
number of improvements in health.
She credits modern antibiotics with
easing a large portion of maintain-
ing good health in a community. As
an example, the dread of scarlet
fever has been greatly relieved
Many students contracting the dis-
ease may leave school on a Friday
and have recovered sufficiently to
return to class by Monday or Tues-
day.
Focus on Education
As a school nurse, Mrs. Dever
encounters all of the communicable
diseases, mumps, measles, whoop-
ing cough and chickep pox, to name
a few. Particularly she watches
skin conditions. Mrs. Dever, how-
ever, considers that her field is
health education, which consists
mainly of getting information to
parents and children rather than
medical treatment. First aid,
though, is often requested of her.
She remarked that the greatest
portion of her work is done at
the beginning and end of the school
year. Students are weighed in the
fall and again in the spring. Their
height is recorded at these times.
Mrs. Dever was enthusiastic in
stating that she has never en-
countered a student who was ac-
tually afraid upon his first visit
with her and her equipment. "In
fact," she observes, “children seem
to be fascinated with it all. It pre-
sents a challenge and a new ex-
perience which modern children en-
joy."

Pep Groups Try
For More Volume
To correct flaws and increase
volume in the yells was the pur
pose for a mass meeting of the
Squaw, Pepett, and Freshman pep
clubs, Tuesday at 3:30 p. m. in
the highschool auditorium.
Mrs. Blair, Pepett sponsor, called
the group to order and gave the
girls information concerning the
mieen coronation and initiation of
the pledges.
Following these instructions, she
then turned the microphone over
to the EHS yell leaders. The cheer
leaders and pep clubs then prac-
ticed yells, both old and new. All
three clubs were in good voice and
were ready to support the team in
the El Reno and Lawton tussel
Friday night.

Scholar's
CORNER
By Dolores Onoth
Boomer Editor
rPHE second six-weeks is well un-
1 der way by now and most of
the students and teachers have ad
justed to the daily routine and es-
tablished themselves in their work.
Who in EHS will have a prettier
coat or suit than the homemaking
IV girls when they have applied
the finishing touches to their gar
ments? Miss Wood says that
Marilyn Estes is completing a
jacket of brown wool tweed which
is a very neat project. Marilyn is
so interested in her work that she
begins her sewing before class
quite frequently.
The trade and industry students
are keeping busy rushing from
home to school and to work these
days. Dixie Elenburg is training
as a dietician at Park View hos
pital and Mr. McGill undersatnds
that the quality of her work at the
hospital coincides with her con
sistently efficient work in class.
Lanman Supply has in its employ
Glenn Ankney, who is training as
a partsman and in service. This is
Glenn's second year of outstanding
service to ’his employers and the
organization.
English with reading improve- ]
ment as its chief function is taught
by Mrs. Kelly. In her third houi
class Marion Watson has proved j
outstanding throughout the entire
first six-weeks while Dennis Dicke j
has improved greatly in the past |
two weeks. Compounl subjects and
predicates is the study of the
fourth hour class in which Caro!
Ann Schumacher and Crystal Ov
erholser have excelled.
Seniors in Miss Jones' first hour
English IV class having perfect j
homework study grades this past
week are Theleda Norman, Alice j
Kepler, Dixie Elenburg, Macsene
Clarke and Patsy Payton. The sen
iors are studying Chaucer and the
medieval period of literature.
