HOMESPUN STAFF OF ’29-30
The aim of the school—prompted by
Miss Mitchell—to bring about better
health among the boys and girls, and
make it easier for them to cope with
their work has resulted in the installa
tion of eight cots in the Clinic Avhieh
are used for rest purposes almost every
period of the day.
Boys Have Two Periods
There are at present two periods—
first and fifth—which are given over to
the boys. Four boys occupy the Clinic
at the fifth and, as yet, the first is still
open.
Girls Take Up More Time
The rest of the day is taken up by
the girls, with a total of twenty girls
resting at various periods of the day.
The system which was recently in
stalled in G. H. S. is not an objection
able one.
“The girls seem to enjoy it,” said
Miss Mitchell. “Of course there is a
great chattering as they go in, but they
place their books under the post of
the cot; the windows are opened, and
they roll up in their blankets like co
coons. Most of them sleep, and the
few that do not, will soon, I think.”
“Boys Are Sleepy-Heads”
“The boys are sleepy-heads,” she went
on. “I had one in here the other day
that I forgot all about. Well, he slept
until nearly two, and when I came in
here, he blinked his eyes and said,
“What time is it?”
“I sincerely hope that any boy or
girl with a vacant period in the day
who feels that he or she would be bene
fited by a rest interval will take ad
vantage of this opportunity. I will
be only too glad to have them.”
