SLUH’s administration announced on Tuesday that they will be launching what they’re calling the Breath Bacteria Begone campaign following numerous complaints from students and faculty about the bad breath of many Jr. Bills.

“It’s kind of hard to focus on my work when I can smell the lack of toothpaste on the guy sitting next to me,” said an anonymous freshman, paying no heed to his English teacher as he initiated an attack in Clash of Clans. “I guess that’s the only real downside of sitting so close together. Maybe if we didn’t have these dumb masks the smell would disperse better.”

The administration was quick to quell fears of mounting bad breathery in the halls of the U-High, issuing the official Billiken Mint that will be distributed to each student starting today.

“I’m glad we nipped this very important issue in the bud,” said a group of SLUH administrators simultaneously while they removed their masks to insert mints into their mouths and then sniff their own breath. “We will continue to advocate for the SLUH community on important issues like this.”

“I’m just happy we got this under control before it became something worse,” said senior Carter Fortman. “Now I can happily sit three feet away from my peers without worrying about a thing.”

At press time, the admin told reporters that they are now redirecting their full attention to absolving the issue of body odor that has arisen in the classrooms.
