HEALTH TIP!

Because of the epidemic of in­fluenza and g ri ppe, Miss Neu­berger o f the Hea lth Service is­sues the following p recautions in this regard: "The great danger from influenza is not the disease itse lf, but the pneumonia which

I so fr.equentl y complicates it. This may develop in spite of all p re­cautiOns, but it is most frequ ent among those persons who remain up and about while ill. Conse­quent ly, the most valuable advice wh ich can be given to pat ients with influenza is 'go to bed when you have a feve r, and remain :~~.r~ until thoroughly recover.

low ing statements and incidents were C\' idenced during the fin al of that class given last. semester, Jan. 26, 1939. Fou r minute topics were to be g iven orally by each member of the · class in lieu of fi na.1. exami natio n. 0 __ }harlie Burch and Fredd ie p»mz were td g ive a ski t depict· ing the death-scene of Falstaff in the "Merry Wives of \Xli ndsor.'' The scene was between Falstaff

.and Mist ress Q uickly. Said Charl ie, "We debated which of us should portray Falstaff." Be-cause Fredd ie dicln't fit the couch in Mr. Burroug h's room, he was chosen to p lay the part of Mrs. Quickly; but a dress could not be found that was long enough for him so the plan was abon­<loned. As an ultimate re~lt Charlie gave a 3 minute speech on "Ho~ to T each Shakespeare in the H,g h School," and Freddie spoke v,t:ry eloquently on the hair·d ress and hats worn by the women in Shakespeare's plays. What varied inte rests-very in. formational, too!

Lois Gene Peden mig ht have condemned herself by beginning her topic as she did by saying , " J have the charatteristics of. Ophe· lia ." How now, Opehlia?

"The Good That Men Do"-" My relationship with Regent 11.fart~ns leaves

noth ing to be desired . He has been ve ry helpful and cooperative on eve ry question that has aris~n. Any p resident is fo rtunate to have the opportumty to wo rk with a regent like George Martens.''

That was the sta tement made a month ago by Dr. Falk when he left the execut ive chair u f C.S.T.C. to take ove r the superintendenq of the Mad ison school system. Although he had worked with Mr. Martens but a few months he was particularly imp ressed by the regent's sincere and eager cooperation.

CENTRAL STATE LOSES AN ARDENT SUPPORTER

The ci ty of Ste­vens Point has lost an outstand­

ing and loya l citi zen. Central State has Jost even more. Active ly engaged iri the interests of many g roups and organizations he d idn't let his work in one cu rb his act ivities in anothe r. His pos ition as a leader in educational work is indicated b)' his membership o n the state boa rd of normal school regents. It illustrates very well his g reat interest in the finer and better th ings of li fe. Mr. Martens was a busy man. Yet he sacrificed many hours of his time to se rve on this important educational board.

IDEALS AND STANDARDS Although Mr. WILL NEVER PERISH Martens is no

longer physically with us the ideals and standards which he se.t up wi ll never be forgotten. Although not livi ng he will never die as a leader in the cour troom, civic and educational work , eminent churchman , and loving father and husband. H e had in his charac­ter the " milk of human kindness."

Jt is wi th deepest and since rest regret thn.t we bid fa rewell to ··a sincere, Christian gent leman· without a trace of narrowness or malice in his makeup."

of Central State Teachers College wish to extend their• sympathy to the bereaved wife and fami ly of Regent Martens.

With a litt.le of that ."Milwau­kee-at-Milwaukee" fight, the Cen­tral Staters should make it num­ber two on thi s. new string which they started last week at Platte­ville. However a drop back into the form which was shown for a couple games would lead to the very practical suggestion that the team stay at home. save ·the. ex­penses, and forfeit another game to Whitewater.

As to tf\e probable starting line-up, who knows ??? There are a lot of possible combinations but to name one would be as hazardous as trying to pick the winner in next May's Indianapo­lis Speedway.
