head nurse, announced.
It is required that all students be
X-rayed. Anyone who fails to come
during the days that the unit is
here will be charged fiye dollars to
have the X-ray taken1 at the Health
service.
The pictures are taken on a 35
millimeter film and will toe read
while the „unit is here. All abnormal
cases will receive a second X-ray on
a 14 by 17 inch film at that time.

seconds and require no removal of
clothing. They are free of charge,
and the faculty is urged to have
them taken as well as the students.
