 Ray Whe1an is remaining strictly a1oof from athletics until such time as his weak knee shows improvement enough to warrant his entering into strenuous work again.

His presence is much desired by his class mates and former team mates, but Ray realized that unless he gives his bad knee plenty of opportunity to mend itself he may be doing his pedal extremity serious harm.

 Criterion Suspended.
 Until 1918 during the peak of the war the high school was represented tby a monthly publication known as the "Criterion," whose columns were devoted to both news items and the Aiterary efforts of the, students: What with the shortage of paper it was decided that the Criterion Board could best aid the government by suspending publication, thus releas- ing many reams of high grade white paper for government use. These easures were rather drastic, how ever, and although the members of inc Criterion staff were moved by patriotic impulse in their efforts to suspend publication entirely, it was noted by a very few that a custom xf long standing would be terminated In order that tradition might remain unbroken for the Criterion in the course of years had become an inSti- Hution of the school every bit as much as its teaching staff, or MT. SimOnds or the Academic course.
 After several weeks of hemming and having by members of the board It was finally decided that a four page newspaper, dedicated to news alone would represent the school during the days of the war. This method of publication released much white pa per and still kept tradition alive.
 Still Official Organ.

 Forced to occupy chair within touching distance of classmates, at the same time eXuding an, in some cases, offensive odor the perpsiry one is a target for the lily concealed looks and remarks of his classmates. This condition, although not general by any means, is prevalent enough to furnish food for thought. It is em- barrassing for the offended as well as the offensive one, and matter which should occupy the attention of the school authorities.
 Protest About Due.
 Unless some effort is made to rem edy the eXistant evils conn ected with compulsory gymnasium instruction, tho student body will take some means of bringing the matter to the atten- ton of the officials. Owing to the crowded condition of the high school, changes cannot very well come from within. It is entirely up to the Board of Education whose extra half hour was. added to the school day prirh arily to give the students the half hours a days instruction in physical etluca- tion which is demanded by the State.
 Just what form the threatened pro- test will take has not been decided upon.

 The finally argument against gym work under present conditions was brought forth in debate between members of the High School Debating Team on the subject, ''Is Gym Train ing Beneficial?" Needless to say the negative won hands down.
