THE GOLDEN-ROD QUINCY, MASS., MAY, 1905. AVARD C. SPROUL, -05. CLARK G. BOYNTON, 05. EDITORS MARION J. HATCH, ’05 MARION E. WEST, ?05. Business Manager,—HORACE T. JENKINS, T5. Zhc Class of 1905 Of the many classes that have graduated from the Quincy High School, there is none that has left it with a greater feeling of reluctance than the present class. It is impossible for many of us during the first two or three years to appreciate all that has been done for us here. Even now, we can but partially comprehend the manifold benefits that we have acquired in the course so soon to be finished. For the past four years we have enjoyed many social pleasures that would have been utterly out of the question had the school been managed on any other than the most liberal basis. Some of us have gained an enviable knowledge of the best ancient and modern literature, while others have been drilled in an exceedingly thorough manner in some of the best known com- positions of the old masters. From these privi- leges we have acquired, perhaps, unconsciously, but nevertheless surely, a certain refinement that must necessarily follow from such study. In this way the influences of the High school have shown themselves in a more striking manner than by the simple stimulation of our mental powers; they have caused the material strengthening of our moral character. But what would all these things be to us were it not for the teachers, who, after all, are the life and strength of the school ? It is they, and they alone, who have made our studies in the school as pleas- urable and beneficial as they have been in the past. It is with a feeling of gratitude and deepest respect that we part from them, to carry with us through the remainder of our lives those memories made so dear to us by them. Above all let us not forget that we are not grad- uating from school, we are graduating into school: for are we not indeed just about to enter the great school of life? What does that word “life” mean to us? It means that we are about to enter a new era that is as unknown to us as the present is familiar. It is a new field which we have yet to explore and which will present mauy new and strange obstacles to us. To overcome them best we must still have clearly fixed in our minds those ideas of truth, honor and discipline that have ever been held up before us since we entered this school.
