THE GOLDEN-ROD. Commander Holt said it was his pleasant duty to place “ Old Glory ” in the hands of the pupils of the Quincy High School. He hoped they would ever cherish and guard it, and if necessary defend it with their lives. Principal Tupper in accepting the flag spoke of the lesson of patriotism it inculcates. It was a call to duty and its lesson was ever new and inspiring. The singing of “ Star Spangled Ban- ner” closed the indoor exercises. The solo was beautiful, rendered by Miss Mary F. White. The people then assembled in front of the building, when the flag was flung to the breeze from a flag staff on the tower. The armed men of the post fired three rounds, and the band played “ The lied, White and Blue.” Cheers were given for the new High, and after a snap shot of the crowd had been secured by a photographer, the crowd dispersed. Many linge, ed to make further inspection of the new building. A description of the New High School building was crowed out, but will appear in our next issue. “ The bands are lit With all the autumn blaze of Golden Rod; And everywhere the purple asters nod And bend and wave and flit.” Q. H. S. Alumni. A PRELIMINARY meeting of the gradu- ates of the Quimy High School will be held FRIDAY FVEMNG, Oct. 26, 1894, at 7.45, to «fleet a temporary or- ganization of an Alumni Association, and possibly determine a date for a reunion, at which time a permanent organization may be made The meeting will be held at the new High School Building. A general invita- tion is extended to all graduates of the school to be present. Let it be a large gathering. Dedicatory Poem. (Continued from, second jxigc.) IV. Dear Quincy, city of beauty, by the shores of the sounding sea, What song shall I sing in thine honor, what song is worthy of thee? Shall I tell of our hero fathers who baffled the Briton's power? Shall I speak of the women heroic, of beauty and truth the flower ? Shall I tell how through siege and battle be- neath War’s blood-sprent flail, Through hunger and want and grieving they could die, but they could not quail ! Shall I speak of our old-time statesmen and their burning love for our land ? Speak of Adams, and Quincy, and Hancock, the world will understand. The past in the casket of story, like a jewel flashes bright, The present is hurrying past us, day dawns and then comes night; Let me sing of the glorious future; forth from the eastern skies A dream of roseate promise hath gladdened my waiting eyes; And I know by the day-spring beauty, by the glint of the growing light, That an era is fast upon us with promise and glory bright. Call the rich and the poor together within this noble hall, Teach them the greatest lesson: God made and loves us all. Teach him who is poor in money, there’s a greater wealth than this; Send the poor boy to the college, he will hold his own, I wis; For knowledge, and wisdom, and honor be long to no one class, And the prizes of life are waiting for the striver who shall surpass. No caste, no class, no faction, no prejudice’s blight, No North, no South, no East, no West but Union’s glorious light., No warring of nation with nation, no clash- ing of hostile clans, For come we from what state we may, we are all Americans. Up! for the day-spring spreadetli her light in a golden shower! Up! on the sky is written: ‘’Now is the appointed hour! ” And may the God of our fathers, who helped them in the past, As he honored the early ages, so bless and honor the last!
