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.

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.

TEE GOLDEN - ROD George Pinkham has the faculty Of talking through his hat. Lillian Pratt appears to be A trifle over stout. The next one is Miss Georgie Priest, Her German’s superline; And Stellae Rice has a winning smile Which is certainly divine. When Mildred Rogers graduates She’s going to keep a store. And Lou Ross, I regret to say, Thinks French an awful bore. The name of Newman Savage Is quite appropriate. Astronomy, of all her studies Doth Miss Say ward hate. Schillander seems so sweetly sad, And so does Mertice Shaw, Whose heavenly expression causes Reverential awe. Robina Skinner is a pearl Of great and costly price. And Elsie Snow, as you well know, Is fond of Rogers’ pies. Socials On December 21, 1904, the annual foot ball reception was given by the young ladies of the Senior and Junior classes. A delightful evening was spent in dancing and playing games. Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Thompson and Miss Souther very kindly assisted as matrons. The young men of the three upper class had in their charge the next social event which was a very enjoyable party given by them on March 10, 1905, to the young ladies of the same classes. The matrons were Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Parsons and Mrs- Thompson. The event of March 31, 1905, was the fourth annual concert of the school given without outside talent. A goodly sum of money was netted. By means of the proceeds received from these concerts the decorations of the school are increased. The following well rendered program was evidently much enjoyed by the audience : Part First. Lillie Spencer thinks that she’s Admired by all she knows; And Avard Sproul half of the time Is in a sort of doze. The next ones are the Sullivans One Will, the other C.; Of John L. Sullivan, they’re thought Near relatives to be. Teasdale, the one who follows, wears His heart upon his sleeve, And next comes Alice Thomas; To her sister she doth cleave. E’en though she innocent may look Miss Tobin’s full of guile, And Helen Troupe has, verily, A beatific smile. The next, majestic Vogel Who looks so dignified, And Marion West’s intelligence She really can not hide. Now our sweet William Weston smiles On every girl he sees. But Wheble doesn’t like the girls, They make him ill at ease. Helen Willett’s thought to be A.S broad as she is tall. And conscientious Williams is The very last of all. G. E.
