THE GOLDEN -ROD while Mr. Thompson, our History teacher moved to New Jersey. Their places, however, have been filled by able instructors. Since we entered the new building, we have learned one thing that could not be fully de- veloped before, and that is punctuality. This is due to the new system by which the bells are rung by a program clock in the office. Be- fore, we were obliged to rely upon watches which oftentimes vary. Now the regulators keep correct time and we are willing to be on time. Perhaps we do not fully realize it, but punctuality during our school life will develop in us habits useful at all times when we have entered upon our future. Now that we are settled in our new build- ing and our senior year is fast drawing to a close, we can afford to pause a moment to con- sider the fii st term. When school opened in September our new building was far from com- pletion. The old building was not in condition to be used. These difficulties were happily solved by Woodward Institute kindly offering the use of its building for a session of three hours in the afternoon. By this arrangement both schools were put to much inconvenience, 'l'lie High school, however, was able to do much of- its work in spite of the serious handicap. Now that the building is ready, the pupils have an opportunity to make up some of the back work, and to graduate with the loss of only few of the many opportunities a High School ought to provide. It is much to be regretted that the as- sembly hall has not been made ready for use as it is there and there alone that enthusiasm can be roused when the time comes to pay ath- letic dues. A school as large as the Quincy High ought to support the different teams without outside contributions. If every pupil in the school were to pay the small sum of five cents a month for the ten months we are in session, there would be over three hundred and fifty dollars in the treasury and this sum would easily pay all athletic expenses for any year.
