It destroys the true spirit of sportsmanship and sets up false prizes for athletic victory. It ^attracts to interscholastic games sordid- minded hangers-on, whose atfemd- ' ance is a damage to school athletics. | In fact, the practice of gambling is becoming so destructive to these i sports that they are in danger of be- ' coming immediately degraded and finally destroyed if something is not done ti stop it. • The McHenry - community high school has not been materially affected as we have had little opportunity to take part in athletic events so far this year. We shall, however, enter the county track meet and it is hoped that the parents and others interested in high school will spare no effort to see that our team goes thru the contest clean and in every way a credit to the community. Public sentiment . against such a practice should be developed to such :a pitch that any ikan who bets on a 1 contest where boys are concerned will be permanently disgraced. May we not appeal to every citixen to assist in this campaign ftif clean high school athletics? ' \ - Yours very truly, i " Oswell G. Tr^adway. !

They know how to write letters--that is--they think they do. Sophomore Motes i Floyd Hopper is now under quarantine for scarlet fever. I Earl Walsh has again joined the ranks of the freshmen.

If Dorothy Walsh has changed her name to "Joe" she ought to tell us about it. It came as quite a shock when Miss Peterson called on Joe and Dorothy answered.
