THE GOLDEN-ROD. Sttjletid J fote£. Editor, Louis N. Chapman. The base ball season now being over, the Quincy High School has formed a foot ball team which will try to do honor to the school. The team is composed of most of last year’s players, with one or two ex- ceptions. Mr. Walsh, ’97, is centre rush. He thoroughly understands the position and it takes a good man to get the better of him. With McConnell right guard and Ford, ’97, left guard, he is ably supported. For tackles we have Wilder, ’96, right tackle, and Martell, ’98, left tackle. Marnock, ’96, is playing right end, with Coe, ’96, left end. Fairbanks, ’96, is playing quarter back. He now plays his position in fine shape. The star half back of the team is Pirovano, ’96, who is also captain of the team. He has no equal on any of the school teams in this vicinity as a tackier. He is also a good rusher. Mr. Chapman, ’96, holds the position of right half back, with Mr. King as full back. King is also a fine tackier. The players wish to express their thanks to Mr. H. O. Parker, a former High School pupil, for the help he has been able to give them. The following are some of the scores of the team : Q. H. S., 6; Weymouth North High School, 6. Q. H. S., 4; Weymouth North High School, 0. Q. H. S., 4; Thayer Academy, 0. Q. II. S., 0; Independents, 0. Why doesn't the Q. II. S. have a field day ? [Of course, modesty forbids Mr. Chapman to make any mention of his own brilliant playing. Rumor says that he is one of the very best players on the eleven. If the Q. H. S. eleven should defeat the Adams Academy eleven, perhaps something good might be expected by our “ team.” “ Field day ” will come in good time—perhaps in the spring.]—Contributor. f(Odkl$. Alice F. Sampson, ’95, Ellem M. Gkeany, ’95, Mary B. Keating, ’90, Edited by ■{ Rose Coyle, 96, On as. J. Anderson, ’96, Helen Bemis, ’97, Fannie E.Beckwith, ’98. Three cheers for Quincy High School Alumni! “ Sketches rain or shine ! ” is the cry of the drawing teacher. Beware of the little red books in the possession of each teacher! What a pity Mr. Darwin was not present at our debate last Wednes- day! Consult ’96 if you wish to gain information concerning the Darwin- ian theory. Latin teacher asks for the word for “ tomorrow.” Bright Pupil—Wednesday. Qui tend ses joues. Who pre- sents her cheeks. Pupil — Who throws out her arms. The pupils greatly enjoyed the address of Mr. Jacobus, former prin- cipal of the Springfield High School, and would be glad to hear him again. The seniors have cast about and finally decided upon C. W. Hearn of Boston as class photographer. May he do justice to the illustrious class of ’95 !

THE GOLDEN-ROD. Edited by - Mary A. Cashman, ’95, | Eloise P. Flood, ’95, Isabella IIay, ’90. Why has the Breeze no exchange column ? “The Prophecy ” in the Opinion is worthy of mention. We gladly greet the High School Record, Sioux City, Iowa. The exchange column of the Stranger is exceptionally good. The editorials of the Oracle are especially interesting this month. Welcome Normalia, may you al- ways be as interesting and instruc- tive ! The Cue is one of the largest exchanges received, and contains many good articles. Compliments on the cover of the Messenger which is arranged with taste and appropriateness. We are sure that all lovers of Dickens will appreciate “ A Dickens Dinner Party,” in the H. S. Gazette. The article, “Foot Ball,—Its ad- vantages,” in the Englewood High School Journal is especially interest- ing and instructive at this season of the year. The exchanges received are : High School Life, The Stranger, The Breeze, The Oracle, High School Student, The Messenger, The Classic, High School Echo, The School Re- cord,High School Times,The Pioneer, The Owl, Our Animal Friends, The Cue, High School Life, The Opinion, High School Journal, High School Record, H. S. Gazette and Normalia. Wayside S$)t‘ay£. Fditod hv J Maby j- Leaky, ’95. rallied by J Catherine E. IIealy, ’96. Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know. • “ Honor is the hill that few may hope to climb, Duty is the path that all may tread.” Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. “The greatest service a man can do for a good cause is to die for it.” —J. B. O' Reilly. “ The finest treasure mortal times af- ford, Is spotless reputation; that away, Men are but gilded loam or painted clay.” —Shakespeare. “ If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.”—Benjamin Frank- lin. “Politeness is the outward gar- ment of good will.” “ It is not the wall of stone without That makes the building great or small, But the soul’s light shining round, about. And the faith that overcomes the doubt, And love that stronger is than hate.” —Lomjfellow. Well tilled and guarded fields, Make happy harvesting. Dark skies must clear, and when the clouds are past, One golden day redeems a weary year. —Celia Thaxter.
