THE GOLDEN-ROD 31 ing. Your literary Department deserves special mention. “Tattler” — Nashua High School, Nashua, Mass. Your stories have distinction, but where, oh where are your poets? Your Exchanges are well written. “Red and Black”—Dorchester High School for Boys, Dorchester, Mass. The news write-ups show that you have very competent editors. Why not put some of “those artists” to work mak- ing cuts for your magazine? We looked in vain for Exchange and Alumni Depart- ments. “Aerial”—J. M. Atherton High School for Girls, Louisville, Kentucky. Your bi-weekly paper is excellent, con- sidering its frequent publication. We en- joyed every one of your clever stories. “B. C. S.” — Bishop’s College School, Lennoxville, Quebec. From Quebec comes this lively “Prep School” magazine. We were immediately impressed by its size. And on reading it, we received many more pleasant sur- prises. Your pictures and cuts are at- tractive, and your poems original. It is one of the most professional magazines which we receive. “Huntington Record” — Huntington School, Boston, Mass. A newsy bi-weekly paper. Why not comment on some of your long list of exchanges? Your jokes are spicy. “Gazette”—Lynn Classical High School, Lynn, Mass. As fine a piece of humor as one could hope for! We especially appreciated “Number 9999 or Susie Ann Goes Skat- ing.” Every department in this well arranged magazine was enjoyable. “The Courier” — Hyde Park High School, Hyde Park, Mass. Some original department heading cuts would be a great improvement to your publication. We suggest an Exchange! “Noddler”—East Boston High School, East Boston, Mass. Your publication is one of the best that we have received this time. The Literary Department fairly took our breath away. Frank Bonzagni’s sense of humor was much appreciated. Your cuts are the “last word.” “Item”—Dorchester High School for Girls, Dorchester, Mass. We like your magazine, especially the stories. Your “personals” are exceed- ingly original. Isn’t your Exchange De- partment rather meager? “Deerfield Arrow” — Deerfield High School, South Deerfield, Mass. A few pictures and original cuts would improve your otherwise splendid maga- zine. Why not comment on more of your long list of Exchanges? “Enterprise” — Keene High School, Keene, New Hampshire. We await with impatience the next in- stallment of your continued story. Your cuts are attractive. “Swampscotta” — Swampscott High School, Swampscott, Mass. We found many interesting things in this number. Your very unique Literary Department was most attractive. “Tripod” — Thornton Academy, Saco, Maine. Yours is a fine magazine. We especi- ally like your poetry and your wide- awake editorials. Keep up the good work! “Magnet” — Leominster High School, Leominster, Mass. We congratulate the competent staff of this magazine. Your Literary offerings are commendable, and your editorials well done. We were interested in your pic- tures and cuts. “M. H. S. Oracle”—Manchester High School, Manchester, Mass. We almost feel as though we have just been abroad, after reading your splendid articles on so many countries of the world. We like your Book Notes. Your cuts are original and add much to your fine magazine. We wish to acknowledge the following: “The Ogdensburg Academy” — Ogdens- burg Academy, Ogdensburg, N. Y. “The Hebronite”—Hebron, Nebraska. “The Rindge Register”—Rindge Tech- nical School, Cambridge, Mass.

30 THE GOLDEN-ROD “The Abis”—Abington High School, North Abington, Mass. Your cover design is excellent. Your literary department is good, but couldn’t you give less space to social activities and the Alumni department and more to the literary material produced by your students? Could you have a special de- partmental heading for poetry: If you cannot, would it not be a good idea to put it all together at the end of the literary department? The School News department gives us a very fine idea of your school activities. Is there no way in which you could use the extra space at the end of the depart- ment? Your Alumni department is concise, your Sport department interesting, and your jokes are spicy. Your magazine is already a highly successful one. AS WE SEE OTHERS “Shuttle”—High School of Practical Arts, Boston, Mass. Your cuts are excellent. We suggest an Alumni Column and more original jokes. The poem entitled, “The Lexing- ton Goes Out,” shows real talent. “Harpoon” — Dartmouth High School, New Bedford, Mass. A well edited little magazine. Your poetry department seems to be rather a “one man” affair. We suggest confining all your advertisements to one section. “Quill”—Kingston High School, King- ston, Mass. Your magazine is most enjoyable. e certainly admire your poets. A more ex- tensive Joke Department would be an improvement. “Cony Cue”—Cony High School, Augus- ta, Maine. This Maine magazine is just bubbling over with school spirit. Yotre Depart- ment Frangais est tres interesant. We like your cuts. “Homespun” — Senior High School, Greensboro, North Carolina. We have nothing but praise for you. Your skillfully arranged pages portray unusual talent. “Oriel”—West Borough High School, Westboro, Mass. A well organized magazine. Your department headings are clever. Why not enlarge your Exchange Department? “Jabberwock” — Girls’ Latin School, Boston, Mass. Your Literary Department is well de- veloped. Why not indulge in more jokes, and add a larger Exchange? “Pad and Pencil”—Chandler Secretarial School, Boston, Mass. Another fine publication from Chand- lers. The author of the poem, “Things I Love,” is to be congratulated. Your very original jokes were much appreciated. “Brown and Gold”—Haverhill High School, Haverhill, Mass. Your initial effort is a praiseworthy one. In time, we expect you will have a Literary Column. Are we right? Do you plan to have an Exchange? “Screech Owl”—Maynard High School, Maynard, Mass. From front to back yellow cover your football number was most enjoyable. Your story writers understand the art, and your “Pickings” are indeed choice. “Killonian”—Killingly High School, Danielson, Connecticut. We think more stories and poems uld improve your magazine. Where is your Exchange. “Hermiad” — Hingham High School, Hingham, Mass. Your departments are rather meager. We suggest more editorials. The adding of Exchange and Alumni Departments would help. '‘Whittier Town-Sentinel”—Amesbury High School, Amesbury, Mass. What a lot of fine material is contained in the four pages of your alert “Sentinel.” “Variety is the spice of life,” as your paper proves. Why not add a story or two ? “Semaphore”—Stoughton High School, Stoughton, Mass. Yours is a very original magazine. The Literary Department could be enlarged to advantage. We advise a more extensive Exchange. “Spaulding Sentinel”—Spaulding High School, Barre, Vermont. Your publication was most entertain-

32 THE GOLDEN-ROD Please excuse us for (wTy naming Super Muir as basketball captain in place of Bob A4attson. But these two are such close companions! It was a regrettable mistake. Capt. Gordon Donnan attributes his success as a track man to the fact that he is a woman hater. Some of you fair damsels may not agree with me, but just ask “Moonbeam” about the week he spent at Barnstable. Shame on you, “Moonbeam,” treating the ladies so. Will someone please make a donation! There is a movement on foot to buy a “pony” for Mike Kurtis to go with his new POLO SHIRT. Maybe Mike got some inside information from “Doc” Whiting about starting a Polo team, and has been practicing on that saw horse that has been seen in his back yard. Some class to the Blue and White re- lay team! They broke the class B record of 3 minutes and 1 second for 4 5 miles, by 1 5 second. The order of the relay men was: Ed. Galvin, Cushman, Normic Sipple, and Stan Marland. We expect to see Earl Lantery out for the broad jump this spring. Hope he does as well in the jump as in cross- country two years ago. Jimmy LeCain says the best exercise, anywhere, any time, for conditioning, is running. COME OUT FOR TRACK, YOU FELLOWS! Donnan and Conolly ought to go strong for the pole-vault as well as the jump this spring. John Iovanna is one of our best promises in wrestling. We expect to see him as our full-back next fall on the gridiron. 'Loots Bowers is showing ability in wrestling as he did in basketball. Peewee Dunbar, our wrestler, has visions of turning pro. Here’s to his match with the Strangler. Now that busses are running in Squantum, Chet will get out of training, not having to run for the “Toonerville.” TSK! TSK! Ed. Kirkland promises to be the fastest quarter-miler Quincy has seen. Cherro, fellows! How are you? Me? Oh! I’m fine. What did you think of the past basketball season, huh? Wasn’t so bad, but the second team had a better record than the first. The bugle and drum corps which the Nautical Training School brought with them were small, but, oh! my! what noise they made. They were good, and surely drowned out our own band. What will Quincy High do next year when the basketball team will be with-
