Yesterday I had my first experience
in dentistry when I was asked to as
sist Dr. Von Zesch and Miss Church
in the school dental examination, by
sterilizing the instruments as fast as
they had been used.
By the time I had helped for about
fifteen minutes Miss Keever and I both
found that the word “occlusal” had a
perfect fascination for us, and we de
cided to hold council with old Web
ster as soon as the chance offered.
I was obliged to smile more than
once in my serious occupation with
Mr. Alcohol. “Oh!” said Dr. Von
Zesch as she glanced over the ma
terials she had brought with her. Lit
tle Grace Dooley, who happened to be
in the chair just then, had a suspicion
of what -was about to happen, so she
hastily remarked that she would sure
pull that tooth when she got home.
And oh! Woodrow Hile! You were
certainly a brave little onlooker as
you stood and laughed at Peter Saska
when he seemed not to enjoy his ex
amination. I was just beginning to
think your name should have been
Alexander until it came your turn and
you got into the chair and made such
a face, and squirmed and squirmed,
and crossed and uncrossed your legs
in your discomfort.
John Brock wras found to have the
only perfect set of teeth, of the chil
dren in the first five grades who un
derwent the examination on Friday.
It wras a great kindness for Dr. Von
Zesch to give an entire afternoon to
the examination of teeth of children
of the first five grades. She wishes
everyone to understand that this places
no one under any obligation whatever
to have dental work done by her. She
mas also offered to give prophylactic
work to every pupil every three
months free of charge, with the un-!
derstanding that this likewise in no
way obligates anyone to come to her
for dental work. This is an offer which
all should be glad to take advantage
of, as it is especially true in the care
of the teeth that the proverbial ounce
of prevention is worth many pounds
of cure.
Dr. Daggett was also kind enough
to offer his services in this work of a
free examination, but it was found
impossible to arrange a time for it
before his departure from Cordova.
(Donald Foster)
Ruth Donohoe, who has been out of
school for some time, will be unable
to come to school for the 'remainder
of the year. In a short time she is
going Outside to visit with her grand
mother.
The sewing pupils are now making
large aprons of ginghams and silks.
(Wilma Claveau)
The sixth and seventh grades are
making charcoal drawings and tinting
them afterwards. They are painting
Mount Eccles.
Edith Smith has kindly brought two
volumes of Stoddard’s Lectures. They
jontain many interesting subjects,
rhere are pictures of the way the
Mexicans bury their dead.
(Brooke Lamprey)
Most of the pupils have drills writ
ten for the Palmer diploma.
(Dorris Adams)
The boys of the civics class last Fri
day decided to strike, and not learn
a section of the constitution of the
United States, but for some unknown
reason nothing has been heard of the
strike since.
The English classes will soon dis
continue the class reading of “David
Copperfield’,’ as they have read
far enough to know whether they will
care to finish it.
Miss Keever is planning to make
playwrights of us by having us write
scenarios. We will begin this kind of
work with “The Skeleton in Armor.”
(Lawrence Graham)
Miss Wright (holding up a book):
“Yes, this is a very nice book Edith
Smith brought; there are several
pages on nearly every picture.”
In the sixth grade arithmetic class
we are learning the different parts of
a dollar.
(Pauline DeVille)
Tuesday and Wednesday Miss
Wright read two very interesting arti
cles from tjie American Magazine to
her science class.
Our freshman class in civics have
been memorizing parts of the consti
tutiin for the last week.
(Mik^ Shepherd)
The pupils of Room 3 are making
pictures in charcoal of mountains
around Cordova.
(Headlee Lamprey)
The seventh grade boys had forty
one stars, which enabled them to have
a quarter holiday, but they waited for
the girls, who had only thirty-seven.
Thursday afternoon all had their holi
day.
Wilma Claveau and Ophelia How
ard are going to send out for the
“American Penman.” Barth O’Lough
len has completed his drills and they
are on their way to New York for in
spection.
Every Tuesday and Friday morning
during “opening exercise” period Miss
Wright reads a book to us children.
She is now reading “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin.”
Buster Foster was given a present
Thursday by Barth. As it was a black
eye, Buster did not say “Thank you.”
(Ophelia Howard)
The seventh grade arithmetic class
finished their work on the “metric
system” and have taken up “measures
and equipalents.”
(Elizabeth O’Loughlen)
Brooke Lamprey was heard saying
