THE GOLDEN-ROD but these were well scattered and had it not been for two costly errors, the score might have been different. At the end of the seventh inning the score was three to two in Hingham’s favor. Quincy came to the bat in the eighth and with two safe hits, aided by two costly errors, made the score five to three. But Hingham got three in the eighth, and as the Quincy players went out in order in the ninth, Hingham was one run ahead. The Quincy boys were somewhat disappointed at the outcome of the game, but they feel confident to reverse the score in a second game with the same team later in the season.

Although during the winter months there is no place for exercise in the school, it may be that on that very account basket ball and tennis are heartily welcomed with other indications of spring. For the last few years it has been customary for the girls and boys each to have an athletic meet. In 1904 the girls’ annual meet did credit to the school and spoke well for the interest and pride taken in athletics by the girls. For weeks all wishing to compete had been practicing during spare moments. The following table shows the results of the meet; results of which no class should be proud.

THE GOLDEN - ROD Athletics Our jfootball Season of 1904 As we look back upon our season of 1904 from the point of view of what con- re? ) stitutes a successful season, we are compelled to ac- W knowledge that it was not what we would make it if it could be played over again. Reasons for this are not hard to find. Certainly lack of success can not be laid to the schedule as the teams we met were none of them out of our class. As to the coaching it would be at least indelicate for one who had a share in it to criticise. The material at hand at the beginning of the season was up to the average in physical strength but far below in foot ball experience. To develop a championship team two things are absolutely necessary, the enthusiastic support of the student body and a few experienced members of a previous team, for foot ball is not a subject which can be learned in one season. As we had neither of the above essentials it is not surprising that our season was at the most mediocre. However, from a glance at the schedule of the games played we can learn something to interest and encourage us. It is a credit to our team that it showed constant development toward the end of the season, and at times, notably in the second game with Roxbury and that with Watertown, gave evidence of that foot ball spirit which characterizes every winning team. As we look back upon those games and see them in their true perspective the thought ought to come to us that if we expect to make a success of our athletics it can only be done as in other lines of action by plenty of hard work and the resolve never to be contented with defeat. Percy Fowler Parsons. Zbc ®ase 36all ©utloofe As in foot ball we are handicapped at the start by lack of seasoned material but fortunate in hav- ing for our pitcher and captain a fellow student who deserves our confidence. It is early in the season to speak in any degree of confidence about the team and its future. Among those trying for places are the following: Catchers,—Burke and Nichols. Pitchers,—Capt. Gram and C. Campbell. 1st basemen,—Doyle and Duncan. 2d basemen,—Reilly and C. Campbell. Short stop, — J. Elcock and S. Williams. 3d basemen,—Fallon and Jordan. Fielders, — Bass, F. Williams, Dunn, McClure, Loud and Connors. The schedule follows : April 19,—Alumni at Quincy. April 21,— Ilingham at Hingham. April 25,—Milton at Milton. April 28,—Weymouth at Weymouth. May 2,—Milton at Quincy. May 5,—Adams at Quincy. May 9,—Somerville at Somerville. May 12, — 11i ngham at Quincy. May 16,—Weymouth at Quincy. May 19, —Open date. May 23, —Adams at Quincy. May 26, —Revere at Quincy. June 2,—Thayer at Quincy. June 6,—Waltham at Waltham. June 9,—Roxbury at Quincy. June 13,—Open date. Q. H. S.f ; Q. H. S. Alumni, 9 Quincy High school opened the base ball season at Merrymount Park on Patriots’Day and defeated a team made up of recent alumni of the school by a score of eleven to nine. It was more or less of a practice game and for the most part, the playing was devoid of interest to the spectators. The interest centered in the new players, Capt. Gram being the only member of last year’s team to play this year. On the whole the new players showed up very well. The infield will undoubtedly be as strong as last year, but as yet the outfield is somewhat of a problem. In this game McClure, Williams, Loud, Dunn and Bass were tried in the outfield; Doyle and Duncan at first; Campbell at second : Elcock; shortstop; Reilly, third base; Gram, pitcher; and Nichols, catcher. The alumni played as follows : Fenno, catcher, Davenport, pitcher and center field ; Ewen, pitcher and first base ; Sanders, second base ; McLaughlin, short stop ; Patch, third base ; O’Brien, right field ; Bennett, centre field and first base ; Shortle, left field. Q. H. S., 5; H. H. S., 6 The first regular game of the season was played with Hingham High school at Hingham Friday afternoon, April 21, the visiting team being the losers by the close score of six to five. Consider- ing the fact that the Hingham team was nearly of the same make up as the one defeated last year by Quincy in a ten inning contest and that the Quincy team was made up of new players, the game was most creditable from a Quincy point of view. Quincy High proved weak at the bat, the members of the team getting only four safe hits off Studley’s delivery. Hingham got eight hits,

TIFE GOLDEN - ROD The Class of 1905 One and eighty pupils are The Class of Nineteen Five. The first is Gertrude Allen, who To study art doth strive. The next is Benny Baltzer, A ferocious looking lad, And then comes Gertrude Barbour Whose behaviour’s rather bad. Miss Bernier, the next one, helps Miss Barbour to be good ; And Lilly Berry walks as if Her feet were made of wood. Now Molly Berry is the next. She’s neither short nor tall; And Alice Billington, you know, Is noisy though she’s small. Her careless writing is one thing For which Miss Blacklock’s known. Clark Boynton’s so conceited that He seems a prig full-blown. Now Gertrude Brennan is the one For clumsiness renowned, And Mamie Brown is. never near When there are boys around. The speech about the colonies Was made by Thomas Burke, And Helen Buxton walks around With something of a jerk. And Anna Cain is Abel to Support herself at least; But Charlie Campl ell, sad to say, From study never ceased. Mary had a little lamb Her name was Miss Carruthers ; And Winnie Church sits next to her— She’s different from all others. Miss Cleaves has such a birdlike voice, She really ought to brag, Unfortunately, Chester Collins, Likes to chew the rag. Then comes our corking Corcoran Whose reddish hair is black ; And next is Katherine Coughlan, who For English has a knack. May Coyle is one who tal.ks too loud, In all her recitations. The size and voice of Craig are not The best of combinations. Miss Cummings dodges frequently Out of her chaperone’s way. Miss Dow on Jordan’s stormy banks Doth cast a charming Ray. Our little friend, Miss Driscoll, looks As if she didn’t thrive. Though Mr. Dunn looks sound asleep He’s very much alive. Mr. Elcock is the one Who leads every debate ; And Stanley Ferguson, alas, To school is often late. Would that John Findlay might have kept His sweet soprano voice ; Maybe, perhaps, however, yet, Miss Flynn can make a noise. The countenance of Carl Fornell Bears such a chastened look ; Miss Fraser’s aspect shows that she’ll No opposition brook. Nancy Fulton always has Just loved all Greek and Latin ; And don’t you think Miss Galligan Would look sweet in red satin ? Our president, Carl Gram, has such A ruddy countenance ; And when Miss Hatch has sentiments She them in verses chants. Miss Hawkins is the next one. Her gait is strangely queer ; And Agnes Hedman’s dreadfully Obstreperous, I fear. Miss Hill is said to know it all In German, every day— However, our friend Harry Ilisten’s Bright in his own way. Miss Holteen studies all the time, From morning until night; And Alice Igo studies, too, Although she isn’t bright. Jenkins, the swell of society, Is known for his sobriety. Miss Jones’s notoriety Comes from her propriety. Miss Ellen King is looking round To find herself a queen. I’ve heard Miss Catherine Leary thinks Pink’s prettier than green. Melanie LeBlanc is very Vain about her size. About her “ sainted Francis ” doth Miss Lehman eulogize. Now Johnny Merrill is the greatest Beauty in our class, And Mary Morrissey is fond Of looking in the glass. You’d know Miss Neagle anywhere If you but saw her hair, You’d know Miss Newell, too, for when She walks she stops to stare. The next, Miss Packard is so bright, She fairly scintillates, And Abbie Penley in athletics Also radiates.
