THE PUP TENT ryjjj g Published Fortnightly at the New Mexico Military Institute, Roswell, New Mexico__________________ March 22, 1930 It Won’t Be Long Now! Govenimeiit Inspection -- 1 Month No More Quarantine Blues The prompt and efficient action taken by Col­onel Ingalls, the Roswell Department of Health, and the Institute authorities during the recent out­break of cerebro-spinal meningitis on the Hill re­cently deserves the highest possible commendation. As soon as the nature of the case had been positively determined the school was placed under strict quarantine. No one was permitted to enter or leave the limits of the post, and everything pos­sible was done to prevent the further spread of the disease. Throat cultures were taken of the entire Corps, of the faculty, and of everyone employed here. Two carriers were located and were prompt­ly isolated. No additional cases developed and the quarantine was lifted after having been in force for approximately two weeks. The morale of the Corps, and of all those who ^ were of necessity confined on the Hill, was excel­lent. The normal daily schedule was followed throughout the period of the quarantine except for the total, and welcome absence of parades and formal inspections. A great deal of the credit for ' the high standard of morale maintained during to Captain Horgan and his “Quarantine Players”, to the frequent motion picture shows, and to the fact that the regular schedule was kept up through­out. The proverb, “It’s an ill wind that blows no­body good,” held true again in this case.

A great deal of the credit for ' the high standard of morale maintained during to Captain Horgan and his “Quarantine Players”, to the frequent motion picture shows, and to the fact that the regular schedule was kept up through­out. The proverb, “It’s an ill wind that blows no­body good,” held true again in this case. Two extra school days were made possible by the quar­antine and, in consequence, the summer vacation has been lengthened an entire week, for, whereas school was scheduled to let out on the third of June, the new program has made it possible for the date to be changed to the twenty-seventh of May. Needless to say, the Corps agreed to accept this plan unanimously. The memory of the quarantine will long re­main with the Corps and with it will be associated the memory of antiseptic gargles, special assem­blies, paradeless Sundays, and frequent movies and theatrical productions, both impromptu and pre­meditated. MALINGERING According to the records at the hospital, there are four boys who have reported to sick call every morning since the Christmas holidays; and accord­ing to the doctor there isn’t now and never has been anything wrong with them. I wonder if it is going to be necessary to publish their names to the corps. It is the desire of the school to give every possible medical attention to boys who are sick and to what degree this can be accomplished de­pends rather largely upon whether the hospital facilities are to be devoted to the sick or to the goldbrickers.

The diploma of Earl Patterson, ’02, was recent­ly presented by its owner to the New Mexico Mili­tary Institute and has been hung in the Board room in Headquarters. Only two diplomas signed by Captain Lea, for whom Lea Hall was named, are in existence, the second being owned by Lloyd Buell, of Patterson’s class. The diploma of George Read, the only other Institute graduate to have a diploma signed by Captain Lea, is no longer in existence.
