The question.of going to 'college is especially' important at this timie. A great many students who would or- dinarily go to college are flnding it ver"' difficuit to go this year., If they are to go. it will mnean a great sacri- fice by their family and the possibil-, ity of* having to leave school at nmid. year. The students who fiind thern- selv-es in this situation should con- sider very carefully the relative mer- its of col lege.. The belief ,that coleégt 'is a, great beliefit to ever3rone,.is entirely false. * Tbat the colleges themselves *realize, this is shown by the fact that they- are raising their entrance require- * ments. To the student who is. going to' college nierely for the social ad- vantages that"a diploma' offers, to the student, who is backward scholastic- ally, or to. the student who is plan- ning to take some job which involves manuai labor. after graduation, our adviçe is flot to go to cçollege. Little material benefit van be expected f romn the college education that a social climber receives. The back- ward studlent wilI simnply waste bis tiefor' four or more years trying to * learni sometbing which in ail prob- ability he will flot use after gradua- .tioil, The samne advice goes to the student who is planning to take sontie industrial job- He wiII do weIl to start learning bhis job the day lie graduates f rom high school, and not * wait for four years.

Miss Seintnev's roomn had a party at the homte of one of the advisee6, Bernice Stein, 'on May 9.

BOYS Arain. team as a 'whole amassed enougb. points to clinch fou rth place,' but several individuals qualifled for the state flnais which arc to be held on Saturday, 'M'ay 16, at Champaign. The duel between George Quinlan of New Trier and Pat Herman of Oak Park wasfar f rom settled, al- though the latter did come out a scant foot ahead of bis rival in the 100 yard dash. So far,.Quinlan and Herman have each won one race from the' other in, thisý event. The, final supremacëy will be determined in, the state -meet. In the 220 yarq dash, however, Quinlan easily. won fromn Herman and the other boys in the field. He seems to. be the -man to, Win the state 220 yard dash cbam-. pionship,, but some boy f rom down- state may-yet pull a surprise. Owing to extremely, unfavorable conditions, the times in neither of these events were very good, com- pared with previo us marks. The day was chiilly and wet with a' steady 'wind blowing direct'ly into the faces' of the boys. In the centur-, IHer- mnan ran 10:3 seconds, while Quin Ian turned in a 22.6 second performance in the fûrlong. The high jum ping pit seemied more like a hog wallow. Soaked by a four days' rain, the take-off was so slippery that six boys could not soar above five feet, three inches, while the others had elimninated -them- selveslong before. Of~ these' six who will be sent to the state nieet, Colin ,Finlayson was' one. When the cou- ditions are more favorable, Finlay- son may 'be expected to go at least to five f eet, nine inches. .Henry Benider, New Trier's star low-hurdler, also qualified in the 220 yard low hurdles, when hie ran 'a dead heat with. Tarissaint of Oak Park Their time was 26.4 seconds, ver>ý good considering the conditions. By next Saturday, Héey wiil be in good shape to make a showifig in the state ineet. Soplaomore Heaves Shot Stan Schumann, the sophomnore shot putter, collected one ' point in a" great success in its effort to bring together the girls from five of the north 'shore's most prominent high schools. Evanston, Senn, Deerfleld- Shields. Roycemore and New Trier were ail represented, and the gather- ingz resulted in an .afternoon of thoroughly enjoyable good'times. The pro r;ram commenced with the dividing o f the girls into teams such as the "Pink Pigs" and "Purple Pups." For about an hour and a haîf, these groups c ompeted in va- nious games and relayr races, and then. those Who did flot wish. to go swimming spent the remainder of the time in playing volleyball. Befo6re re.- turning home, the girls were treêated to ice. cream bars, lemonade and cookies. These recent Ma.y showers, although go od .for the farmers, have interferred seriottsly with the girls' after school sports, but-weather permitting-all the tourniaments will be cornpleted àIIE tities'won by May 27, -the big night for the'ýannutal G.
