THE GOLDEN-ROD 18 HEARD AT THE DOOR. Last year, at 1.15—Coining clown to the house this afternoon? Sure, will be down at 2 o’clock. This year, at 1.15—Opining up to Kincaide’s this P. M.? Can't do it. 1 have English, French, Physics and German to do. (Oh, von afternoon ses- sions !) ’17—What is that distant noise? M4—That ? Why, that is just Mac (Anarney) singing, “What d’va mean, you’ve lost your dog?” Room 3 (speaking of the colonists)—What did they do now? Powers ’14—Sold out. Room 3—To whom? Class in unison—To Raymond. Mr. Roach—Who was William Penn? Winifred Pratt ’14—He was er-r a man. 1917 (filling out registration card)—My father’s dead. Will you please tell me what his address is? Miss Brown (reading from “As You Like It,” just as a late pupil closes the door.)—Peace, you dull fool. 17 (who has just read the list of clothing required by Dr. Smith for gym work)—Will you please tell me why freshmen need trunks? We wonder if Stan Smith really does brush his hair. Bowen '15 (translating: Le chien s'y ehouche en rond)—The dog went to sleep in a circle. Miss Thompson announces standing room only in 29 at 2.30. Mile. Holt (in French)—Is there any change in the plural? 1914 (silently)—O, keep the change. We’re liable to lose our Editor-in-Chief. Saf- ford sure does fit strong. 15 days for this:—If a tug can pull a barge, how much can Tom Barstow? 1913 TEAM 1TOY YOUNG J EPSON WHITE BROWN PAGE HAMLIN LARKIN MURPHY SCHENK JEN KINS Frederick Sehenkelberger, Joke Editor.

The resignation of Marion McLoon as Vice President was accepted. By ballot, Louise Wilson was elected Vice President. Exchange Notes Our exchanges this time are not numerous. We regret the lack of a larger correspondence but sincerely trust we will receive many more new papers during the next three months. To give the fair criticism, which the Golden Rod intends to give and hopes to receive, we want criticisms of our exchanges from each and every member of Quincy High. Further, we want the school to give us their opinion of the criticisms of our paper by other papers; these criticisms are found in the Exchange Columns of these papers. Exchanges are kept in the school library and are at the disposal of every pupil. However, one is not permitted to take them from the library. This year in the papers sent to us we find two distinct styles,—the old style, the monthly or bi-monthly, and the weekly or bi-weekly papers which many schools are adopting. The members of this school who are interested in a school pa- per (and all should be) must give attention to this latter kind, for sooner or later Quincy must adopt this more modern sort of a paper. As there are arguments pro and con, it will perhaps be a good subject to discuss in the hall some morning this winter. Although The Golden Rod this year differs from its predecessors in many little ways, it may, perhaps, be better to have it changed entirely. Think about it, you future seniore. The Golden Rod has received the following papers: The Imp—Brighton, Mass. Marion High School Survey—Marion, Indi- ana.
