Che Golden-Rod. QUINCY, MASS., MAY, 1907. Ube Class of 1907. No class ever left the Quincy High school with more reluctance than the class of nineteen- seven. We consider ourselves extremely fortu- nate to have the opportunity of graduating from the new building, even if we were sorely handicapped at the beginning of the term. In attending afternoon sessions last fall with poor accommodations and short recitation hours, much work had to be done hastily and some even left undone. A great deal of pleasant school and class life was lost, because the pupils could not girls had no athletics whatever The failure to complete the new building is still respon- sible for the apparent lack of interest iu ath- letics this spring. However, we will forget all the difficulties the school has undergone, because the building is at last ample to accommodate the whole num- ber of pupils in one morning session and we hope that next year the graduating class and indeed the whole school will enjoy the benefits of the gymnasium and assembly hall aud the new building which it has taken Quincy so many years to provide. meet as a school and the classes could not hold meetings and class parties. It was simply a case of holding recitations and omitting every thing else. The lack of music has also been keenly felt this year. For the first time in several years, the successful annual school concert could not take place, the proceeds of which would have aided greatly in purchasing deco- rations for our new building. It is also to be regretted that athletics have suffered so much this year. Last fall the boys’ football games were few in number and the jt Jt We cannot say too much iu praise of our teachers, who. being put to such great incon- veniences this year, have increased their efforts and buoyed up the spirits of the pupils until shirking would have been unjust and unap- preciative. It was with great regret that we saw several of the old teachers leave after everything had been restored to order. Iu January, our German teacher. Miss Schroe- der. accepted another position in Lynn; Miss Sherman, the sophomore English and Latin teacher, left us in order to teach in Providence,
