A TRAGEDY She stood upon the threshold And gazed into the room, The darkening night had lent to it An atmosphere of gloom. For there upon the carpet, Stained a dark and murky red, A hatchet lay, its gory blade Appeared as though it bled. Some crime, no doubt ’twas murder, Had been committed here, The awful thought of which had filled Her trembling heart with fear. At last she turned around and said, “Oh, goodness! Won’t I catch it; I opened the tomato can, With father’s nice new hatchet.” Andrew Deane 1914.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 14 Nov. 22, 1913. The last and most important game of the season was played at Waltham, Waltham winning 25—0. Quincy played its hardest and did well to hold its strong opponents to 25 points. Only one touchdown was scored in the first half. At one time it looked as though Quincy was going down the field for a touchdown but when the ball was on the 25 yd. line somebody was penalized 15 yds. and the ball was lost on the next play when Waltham re- covered a forward pass. Johnson scored all 4 touchdowns for Waltham. Many successful forward passes were made by Waltham, especi- ally towards the last, when the Quincy team was played out. Fagan’s punts were a feature. On Friday evening, Dec. 5, 1913, the football squad was tendered a reception by the girls of the two upper classes. The following were awarded their letter: 1st team Q’s, Capt Young, Foy, Jenkins, White, Hamlin, Schenkelberger, Larkin, Page, Murphy, Browne, Jepson, Mullen, Smith, Crosscup, Coughlin, Reardon, and Mgr. MacAnarney; 2nd team Q’s. Creedon, Crocker. Gay, Gelotte, Rice, and Sanborn. Dancing was enjoyed until 10.30 by the three upper classes. The football squad wishes to extend its sin- cerest thanks to the committee: Louise Wilson, (chairman). Florence Crowell, Margaret Magee, Dorothy Kitson, Louise Churchill, Gladys Du- Plessis. and Marion Wilson.

Thanks to Mr. Collins, who paid the expenses, the second team was able to play a practice game with Thayer Academy. The former won 20—0. During the past season Capt. Young has covered himself with glory, both as a leader and as a player. Score: Waltham 25, Quincy 0. Touchdowns Johnson 4. Goal from touchdown, Fagan. Umpire Ingalls. Referee, Laughlin.

Stan Cummings has foots instead of feet. 23—Who was Oliver Wendell Holmes? Senior—A detective, wasn’t he? Anyone wishing to acquire more knowledge of chickens may apply to 1 . Larkin who is au- thority on the subject. Miss Thompson (to Miss--------- at board) — Please step to one side so we may all see your figure. Miss Howe (giving out book receipts)—My name has not changed since last season. Room 3—Who settled Quebec? Young ’14—Champagne. Some people seem to think Room 3 is a smok- ing parlor. The other day, Wet Brown and Leon White were walking to school when one of the latest styles overtook them. Brown turned to White, White turned to Brown, and both turned red. Mr. Mansur (in English)—(live me the defi- nition of “transparent.” 1917—Something you can see through. Mr. Mansur—Give me an example. 1917—Doughnut.

Larkin appears at school as Joe Knowles the 2nd. Is he lazy, or does he lack 15 cents to see Sam Shellman ? The boys have the privilege of using the “girls’ ” door at recess, but they must be ter- ribly bashful. Goodwin T5, (translating German)—Then he saw that she had beautiful blue lips. Where do all those hats come from? Ask Gilliatt or Wet.”
