THE GOLDEN-ROD 29 AS OTHERS SEE US “The Screech Owl”—Maynard High School, Maynard, Mass. Your paper is so superior that it is difficult to extract any particular feature for commendation. Your cuts are cer- tainly a big attraction. “Gazette”—Lynn Classical High School, Lynn, Mass. The “Cafeteria Address,” modeled on Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, is very clever. We enjoyed “A Singular Inter- lude,” a story which required an intense imagination to write. “The Mirror”—Waltham High School, Waltham, Mass. The poems, “The Tale of the Cafe- teria” and “A Summer Sunset,” were ex- cellent, as, indeed, we found the entire magazine. We were pleased to find that your conception of the “Ideal Teacher” corresponds with our views. The head- ings of your jokes department were very unique. Your Alumni section also de- serves much credit. “The Jabberwock”—Girls’ Latin School, Boston, Mass. The arrangement of your magazine is good. The school notes are well handled. You seem to have some outside interest for nearly everybody. We were disap- pointed in the meagre literary depart- ment. “A Singular Interlude” is unusual and somewhat weird. Its author must have a rather wild imagination. You have a very large humor department with a good number of amusing jokes. Your athletic department is also well handled. “The Quill” — Kingston High School, Kingston, Mass. The “Golden Rod” of Quincy is a very distinctive magazine. The poem, “A Summer Sunset,” is especially beautiful. This magazine has a good Exchange, and numerous, exceptionally clever jokes. “The Deerfield Arrow” — Deerfield High School, South Deerfield, Mass. A very interesting paper. Your alumni section is strikingly good. Congratula- tions to the author of “Misfortunes of a Sofa Sheik.” “The Magnet” — Leominster High School, Leominster, Mass. “The Golden Rod” of Quincy High School shows the school spirit and activity of the students in every department. The school news section especially reveals the interest taken in many activities. The editorials are timely and thoughtful, and the poetry, too, is good. It is one of the liveliest magazines I have read. “The Tripod” — Thornton Academy, Saco, Maine. We uphold the “Golden Rod” as an example of what a school magazine should be. Each of your numerous depart- ments is well arranged, and highly devel- oped. We believe, however, that photos of your various school buildings would add to your magazine’s attractiveness. Also, we have reason to believe that a history of your school would be an inter- esting subject to include in a future publication. “The Red and White”—Rochester High School, Rochester, New Hampshire. Congratulations to the writer of the unique story, “A Singular Interlude,” in your June issue. We found your Class Census and Memories extremely interest- ing, even though its graduates were un- known to us. The pictures and cartoons add greatly to your paper, but we advise more literary work and poetry.
