Have you ever had an occasion to go to the nurses's office in B‑101? If you have, you probably have been met by Mrs. Loraine Kalbfell or Mrs. Francis Ringl. Both ladies are registered nurses and took preparation in Public Health.

Along with the nurses, students planning nursing careers have a chance to be of help during school hours. First period the assistant is Christine Rukas '66; second, Diane Schalk '66; third, Phyllis Townsend '65; fourth, Lee Truss '65 and Carol Currier '66; fifth, Betty Smith '65; seventh Judy Fayman '66; and eighth, Sue Wurster '65 and Margie Vermerris '66.

These student helpers take temperatures, straighten up rooms, file important information, and get records out for the nurses. If a student is allowed to go home because of extreme illness, a helper will go to his locker and get his books and coat. Before you are ever permitted to go home due to illness, you must see the nurse and have a pass signed.

Most pupils are in the office due to illness or minor accidents which happen during school hours. If you so desire, the nurses will council you as to your own personal health problems.

When you come back to school after a very serious accident and need to use crutches, the nurses will be glad to help you adjust to school surroundings again. The elevator is available for use.

Each student at Maine has a health folder containing a physical examination, a vision test, a dental report, and notes regarding physical education which is in the nurses' office. One of the nurses reviews each physical examination.

The nurses' office is equipped to handle minor illness and injury. There are individual testing rooms for both girls and boys.

The two nurses are also sponsors of the Future Nurses club which meets two times a month. At present it has approximately 40 members. Girls who desire to be in the nursing profession should come to its meeting.
