Each year the beneficial results of our labors are becom- ing more evident in the improved condition of the children. The efforts of the school nurse are in great measure respon- sible for this happy outcome. To her tireless follow-up work in the homes and with the parents is due much of the increased interest in the physical needs of the pupils.
The cooperation of the school nurse and the doctor in charge of the dental clinic has wrought wonderful changes in the care of teeth and its consequent benefits-much greater benefit than is shown by the statistical tables.
Many cases of eye and ear troubles, adenoids and un- healthy tonsils have been reported and received proper treat- ment.
We trust that the town will soon be in a position to assist in the preservation of its pupils' health by providing
Per

more room so as to do away with the present deplorable over-crowding.
There are' a few unsanitary features in the schools which should receive attention at an early day, such as small, poor- ly ventilated rooms, lack of drinking fountains and outdoor toilets which are cold during the winter months.
Three schools are housed in' basement rooms, and one building has water in its basement often during the wet weather.
Good school buildings are a profitable investment for any community and they return a handsome dividend in the way of healthy children, intelligent and ambitious.

DENTAL CLINIC.
The sessions of the dental clinic were resumed November 20, 1922, at the rooms in Grant block under the management of Dr. Wm. J. Clancy and Francis X. Kelley as clinicians. The rooms have been redecorated in white and suitably refur- nished, and now afford model quarters and equipment for the work. A report of the clinicians shows the following work done since the reopening of the clinic.

CLASS ODE.
Forth we are marching To answer the summons of Life.
Long is the journey, The road with grave dangers is rife. Sad is our parting, As only each sad heart can know.
Fond is our farewell ; As forward to life each must go. CHORUS. We leave you this night To engage in the fiht As we go forth singing gaily, gaily !
56
Your honored name We'll ever strive to maintain,
Alma Mater, so fair and true, so fair and true! Far, far before us The future, mysterious, awaits ;
Safe in our knowledge Triumphant we'll enter its gates.
In sacred parting We promise our class to defend.
Virtue and honor Our mottoes will be 'till life's end. CHORUS :
- [Nicholas A. Mastroianni.
