Warren Kerrigan We are pleased to be able to report progress In our Modern Health Crusade work in the schools. Personal pride and general cleanliness among our children has improved a great deal. We thank the parents for their hearty cooperation and support. They are helping ua more than they know. The Crusade promotes good health and the prevention of disease not only for childrn but for their families and neighbors. On the moral , side, the Crusade contributes to the child a needed drill in truthfulness, regularity in duty and education of, the will. The method of recording performances of the chores under which the child is put on his honor to choose between right and wrong statements, affords an ethical discipline comparable in value to the physical discipline. The Crusade awakens responsibility for community welfare. It makes the teachers work lighter by keeping the childrens minds alert and by promoting both attention and attendance. The following song, composed by third and fourth grade pupils of one of our schools in the district shows the manifested by the children. Oh, we are Jolly Health Knights, We do health chores every day; We like to dd our health chores We do them in every way, tfe know theyll make us healthy. And theyll make us wealthy, too.

For several years Kerrigans hair has been admired by the fair sex and It was with regret that he allowed Director David Smith to shave his pate for the production. Kerrigan Is a true artist and willing to go to great persnalB sacrifice for arts sake. In several sequences he even allows his beard to grow and his hair to become unkempt. In others he appears without a visible hair on his head, save his eyebrows, lashes and goatee. During the major portion of the production, however, his bead is graced with a curly wig banging over his shoulders. The story Is set In the period of I 1685 when men wore wigs, the custom originated In France In the 14th century, when an elaborate curled wig graced the head of Louis XIII to cover baldness.
