The Golden-Rod QUINCY, MASS., JANUARY, 1911 EDITORIALS At last the Quincy High is supplied with a much-needed lunch counter. Now it is possible for each one to have his choice of soups, sand- wiches, home made cake and pie, cocoa (with whipped cream and two graham crackers) or some special dish, all for the trifling sum of five cents each. Here’s to the lunch counter! May it live long and prosper! The matter of choosing a class motto has been lately brought to our minds. A class motto is, theoretically, a sentiment which should be the guiding star of each pupil’s existence. Accord- ing to the custom of the past, it has been chosen during the latter part of the senior year, when each one is so occupied with his own affairs that he has hardly time to become acquainted with the chosen words, to say nothing of living up to them. In this way, the motto is of absolutely no use, except to fill up space on the graduation pro- gram. It lies with you, undergraduates, either to remedy this absurd custom by choosing your mot- to now, or to do away with it altogether. We wish to extend a hearty welcome to Miss Nute, Miss Kirmaver, Miss Whitaker. Miss Whit- comb, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Smith, Mr. Fenner, Mr. Schoonmaker and Mr. Ray. Miss Perkins, our new instructor in music, has entered upon her work with such enthusiasm that we may expect a most excellent High School con- cert. One of our budding poets has written the words for a new school song, in response to Miss Perkin’s offer to adapt such words to music. This makes two school songs for a school of 700. More! More! All contributions, in the shape of stories, poems, essays and the like will be most gratefully received by the “Golden Rod.” These may be passed to Miss Nute or to your English teacher. We need your support. Show your school spirit by helping us to put out the best school pa- per possible! Pay your class dues! Can’t you—won’t you realize how much we need the money ? Also buy the “Golden Rod.” Buy two copies, and if you can’t use them yourself, send them to your rela- tives and friends. Here is another case where we need the money. Keep off the grass! The lawn shouldn’t be trampled upon any more, now that it is frozen, than when we came back to school in September, and were charged by Mr. Ilowlett to keep away from its emerald greenness.
