10 THE GOLDEN-ROD Athletic Notes We wish to congratulate “the mud-stingers” of the baseball games, for subsiding. The base ball team, as well as the others, is practically a new one. “Reggie” Macdonald pitched fine ball the whole season. The schedule as arranged by Mr. Mansur, is, without doubt “the best ever.” Quincy certainly had a bad streak after that Abington game. Nash, of Newton may be well commended on the way he covers that first sack. Captain Bowles of Boston Latin, is “some t wirier.” R. Bates. Q. II. S.. TO. has found his “batting eye” on Bates College team. ■ “Chris” Brown, 1492. is some pitcher. Jack Paffman. Q. II. S., Tl. is playing on the Andover tennis team. We missed the little Groton trip this year. The Hingham-Quincy game was a wonderful sight. “Billy” Little figures out the base ball prob- lems by a little Algebra. That right field must look nice to the oppos- ing teams. The base ball team has decided to organize a musical club. With a few such tenore as Barry and Bloomquist accompanied by “Sam’s” har- monica a strong club should be built to compete in dual meets with some of the Greater Boston schools. As the base ball season is nearing an end. as well as all athletics, we look back upon the re- sults of the three major sports with much satis- faction. as compared with other years. Maurice Blackmur, Athletic Editor. Exchange Notes The “Jabberwock” (Boston) has an exceed- ingly fine exchange list. The “Artisan” (Boston) is a capital school paper. The “Grotonian” (Groton) is a very interest- ing paper. The stories published in the “Searchlight” (Walpole) are splendid, but the cover is rather characterless. The “Emblem” (Southington, Conn.) too, has good stories.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 9 out bv using your brains and get it entirely right. Many times I have received letters with a sentence in the wrong paragraph; such cases as this bring one to a sudden jerk when he reads it. Keep these sentences which are usually related in thought in the same para- graph. You will find that a brief idea of geography will be of great use to you in the business world, especially in the shorthand line. We should know to which state the large cities belong, be- cause your employer is liable to make a mistake when dictating a letter; you should then be able to correct it without further trouble to the firm. We cannot afford to make mistakes in our typewriting work; we should also be careful that the work is not smutty. This matter is of great importance to both you and to the firm for whom you are working. If these few sug- gestions are followed, one should be pretty well along the road to success, if he couple with these things perseverance in all his work to gain success. Always greet the people who visit your office with a smile. People like to trade with a person who gives them a smile once in a while; and re- member, that a smile is not a grin. Even though there is a book-agent who enters the office, treat him kindly and if the employer wishes him to be put out. let him do it himself, it is not for you to interfere. A smile is nothing without the heart behind it. and it is worth nothing at all if the whole heart is not behind it. If you greet everyone who enters your office with a smile, you will not only be doing good toward yourself but also a good turn for your employer. I have now gone over my time and wish you one and all every success in the work which you are to undertake in a few short weeks, and every success in the business world. C. Y. Keohane, T2.
