TIIE GOLDEN - ROD plays. Bass at full back was an earnest worker and supported the line well. Sprague, who played at guard and full back was especially strong in bucking the line and ought to be a first class back next season. The last and most important position in the back field was filled to perfection by “ Bill ” Nichols, who throughout the season maintained a high standard of play and showed unusual ability as quarter back in driving the team fast and in getting the utmost possible out of it. lie is one of the two best quarter backs that the High School has ever had, the other being the captain of the 1903 eleven. This summary should not be closed without a word of commendation for the loyalty shown by the few substitutes of the team. They were the ones, who, although rarely given a chance to play on the school eleven, came out and did what they could to help it. This is the spirit that ought to be shown by every average sized Q. H. S. boy, so that future teams may make a record equal to the splendid record of the 1905 eleven of the Quipcy High School. H. Fletcher Miller, '03. the classes did well, but the school cup bears witness to the success of 1908. The honors, including the result of the series of basket-ball games played previous to the meet,, were divided as follows : — 1905 ... 29 1906 ... 28 1907 . 13 1908 ... 46 Last fall, the number of girls taking part in the athletics was greater than ever before, many coming from the Old High. We arc hoping a great deal for our athletic afternoons this spring and wc want the help of every girl who can join us. The broadest person is the one who has the most interests, makes the most of all opportunities and brings to pleasure as well as to work enthusiasm. Let every girl, who can, come out with us; she will learn to know the girls better, and that fact, aside from the ques- tion of exercise and fresh air, should make it worth while. Eleanor W. Guild. Jt v Girls’ Athletics In these days of glad anticipation there are none who look forward with more joy than the devotees of Girls’ Athletics. Many are the dreams that centre around the gymnasium, the walls of which are even now rising. However thankful we are that in the near future we can have work in the gymnasium in winter when we need it more, let us “speak well of the bridge that has carried us safely over,” and look back to our Goffe Street field and its history since the last issue of the Golden Rod. During the spring, two afternoons a week, on an average, were given to basket-ball, and in May, the girls did some field work in prepara- tion for our annual meet, which was held on June tenth. As in 1904, Field Day was perfect, except for the fact that the mercury went too far above 80 degrees to be conducive to record-breaking ath- letic work. With banners, programs and lemon- ade for sale; with cheers, good will and school spirit freely distributed over the field, the day could only be the great success that it was.

THE GOLDEN-ROD School Notes. $ 0 Wanted: Appropriation for a megaphone for Miss M-----’06. Mr. H-g-n ’06 has been asked which class he likes best, ’05 or '07. He is interested in both. Mr. H-b-k, why is a Crow? ’Cause. Mr. S-----'06 has a great faculty for quot- ing (?) phrases from Shakespeare. Mr. II----’s mind has become highly elevated of late. He has his place of abode in the third story. Miss B-z-o ’06 (translating)—Another part brought in the bier. Self-seeking people are not the ones most sought after. Take warning, Mr. P.------’06. This expression is familiar to Latin IV. “ Speak a little more loudly please.” Wanted: A few contributions for Miss F-----’s bank. Young “Bub” makes up in his head what he lacks in stature. M-r-t ’06 seems very fond of games, especial- ly Boll. Why should not Miss P-k-d ’06 be fond of hunting when there is De Forest in Quincy. No wonder the Study Hall girls are always cheerful, since there is a Hay (of sunshine) in the school. Tell Miss T-----’07 to go hire a hall. Mr. L-----’06 came to school the other day with his hair plastered down. Who stole the curling irons? Why doesn’t the cooking class give the teachers some of its dainties ? We would all like a holiday. Mr. B-dg-r ’07 has at last found a close rival in the sophomore class. Wanted: A pencil sharpener for Mr. De F— ’06. Who throws matches on the floor? Beware, look before you leap. The cooking teacher remarks that carrots are good for the hair. To whom shall we give them first? In Latin III: Teacher: What race inhabited this country? Pupil: The potato race. The class of '07 ought to start an opposition to Austin Stones, with Mr. B—, the fat man, Mr. H—, the living skeleton and Mr. G—, the midget. It is a sure sign of spring when the birds re- turn from the south. But how can we account for it? We have had Bobbins in our midst all winter. To Miss C - - p - - n:— Yes, “ We have sighed to rest us.” When list'ning to your voice, And when you cease We are at peace And then do we rejoice, That there are few such girls as you Who think that they can sing. Music we love all else above; — Noise is another thing. Miss F-g-n 06 (translating Virgil)—“Three times I tried to put my arms around his neck— and that was as far as I got.” Teacher: “That is quite far enough, sit down.”
