Wade, Quincy and Milton High School, Atlantic, Whitney Co., Mass.” Perhaps this address on a newspaper lately re- ceived will explain why letters and papers sometimes fail to reach their destination. We are pleased to welcome home again Dr. Joseph M. Sheahan, who lias returned from a five weeks’ visit to Paris. The steamer on which he returned, encountered a gale and the life-boats had to be lowered, but she soon righted herself and arrived in New York, safely, although a few days late.

THE GOLDEN-ROD. Stfyletidg: Shortly after the beginning of the school year, Mr. Tupper called to- gether all the boys of the school, for the purpose of forming an Athletic Association. When this organiza- tion had been completed, the meet- ing proceeded to elect officers for the ensuing year. Mr. Tupper was unanimously elected president. A ballot was then taken for the choice of two vice- presidents. Wilkins ’97 and Morse ’99 were elected. Nichols ’97 was elected secretary and treasurer. It was deemed advisable to have an advisory committee consisting of graduates of the school, and Dr. J. M. Sheahan and Hon. Charles H. Porter were chosen to serve upon this board. An executive committee was chosen consisting of the president, vice-presidents, secretary and treas- urer, ex-officiis, besides the follow- ing undergraduates : Litchfield ’98, Hall 1900, and Ripley 1900. The meeting was adjourned, after the election of Mr. Porter as manager of the foot-ball team. FOOT BALL. The candidates for the foot-ball teams were called out at the middle of September, and about thirty men appeared. After a few days this number was reduced to twenty. From these twenty men the team will be made up. Practice began on Sept. 18th and has been continued steadily for the last three weeks. After the team had been on the field a few days, Saunders ’97, a member of last year’s Adams-High team, was appointed temporary captain. He was elected permanent captain on Thursday, October 8. Under him the team will doubtless progress rapidly, and there is every reason for believing that our promising material may soon be turned into an excellent and creditable team. GAMES. The team played its first matched game on Saturday, October 3rd, against the East Milton A. A. This team was much too heavy for the High school boys, and won from them handily by the score of 12 to 4. The only score made by the Quincy team was a touchdown by Ripley after a long run of 50 yards. This was by far the best play of the game. Saunders made many ex- cellent tackles, and did much to keep our opponents from making a larger score. On Wednesday, Oct. 7th, we played Adams Academy. This game was a great surprise and disappoint- ment to us, as we were beaten 12-0. The playing of the Adams team was excellent in every particular, and the game was won on its merits. Their dash and energy were most commendable, and won them the game in the first half. At the end of this half the score was : Adams, 12; High, 0. In the second half the High school team played a much better game. They not only prevented their opponents from scoring, but came ex- ceedingly near making a touchdown. They carried the ball slowly but surely, from their own 25-yard line to the Adams 15-yard line, by a
