by his mother, at left.
The clinic was held before the opening of school to
acquaint the kindergarten pupils and their parents with the
school set-up---classrooms, teachers, curricula and adminis-trators.
On Friday Billy met his first teacher, Mrs. Joanne Van-.

to which he has been assigned. The parents and pupils were
addressed briefly by Superintendent of Schools Dr. L. Eugene
Jacques, and were shown an educational film.
In charge of the Pre-Kindergarten Clinic was Principal
King, who also heads the committee which arranged the
program for the dedication of the new building on Sunday.
