Che Golden-Rod. QUINCY, MASS., APRIL, 1906. CHARLES K. HOGAN, W. ) I-i I TAI1 C ( DOROTHY FAY, 06. EUGENE SANDERS, '06. j LUI I Ukj j OLIVE L. HUSTON, '06. Business Manager,—WILLIAM E. HOWE, '06. Ube Class of 1906 Each class that has left the Quincy High School has withdrawn with regret; in the same spirit docs the class of 1906 take its departure, and we are learning, that no class can ever fully appreciate all the advantages afforded, and the kindness shown, until the time for graduating comes. Even though we have been crowded for room and have lacked some advantages which other- wise might have been ours, still many who have prepared for college will successfully enter. There have been many courses of study from which we could choose and by means of them many pupils will enter business houses from this High School. Outside of the studies we have had excellent training in music, a course which many schools lack entirely. Hindered to some extent by having no gymna- sium, yet our class has furnished many members of both foot-ball and base-ball teams. Indeed, we may justly be proud of the records they have made. The girls’ athletics have been hindered even more than the boys, because of this lack. If we had had a gymnasium, basket-ball might have been continued throughout the winter and other healthful sports practised. As it was both boys and girls have lacked the benefit gained from physical training. Yet even if we have not had the pleasure we ought to have derived from athletics, we certainly have gained it from social gatherings. These have been many and delight- ful. Each year since we have been sophomores, we have enjoyed at least three receptions, and in our first year we were fortunate enough to have a reception tendered us by the graduating class of that year. Besides these occasions, every year the school has given a concert. The pro- ceeds of these concerts have been devoted to a fund for decorating the school, and now with this fund many decorations for the new building will be purchased. Ever since our class entered the school, we have cherished the hopes of occupying new quarters. But never until now have our hopes been realized and, as we fear, too late for our advantage. Yet, as we leave, although with re- luctance, wc wish to congratulate the classes
