namely^ polishing, teeth.
This was accomplished on mani-kins.
In addition to this, a girl
was in the Bacteriology lab to
explain to the public what was
being done in class, and she
showed various equipment used
in the laboratory. Also, different
bacteriological slides of interest
were on display under the mi-croscopes
for the public to see.
Many of the dental health post-ers,
recently made by the Fresh-man
girls, were on exhibit in the
newly painted DH classroom.
The Seniors gave free pro-phylaxis

one who wanted them. There
were also demonstrations of den-tal
lab technics which included
the steps in the construction of
