The Golden-Rod 9 QUINCY’S Of course you know that ev’ry fall Our High School always plays football. But seldom was a soul e’er found To root upon our football ground; No matter when or where the game No crowd turned out to raise the claim, Quincy’s all right! Till one day in the High School hall We had a meeting one and all, Then French and Mansur made a speech That did our High School spirits reach. They told us we should love our High. And yell, when victory was nigh, Quincy’s all right! The next game was away from home, But, mind you, such a crowd did come That Quincy shadowed all her foe, And made them feel ashamed to blow. We cheered, we sang, and Quincy won, And then was heard with ev’ry run Quincy’s all right! ALL RIGHT. When e’er a game is scheduled, now, Within a hundred minds a vow Is made that she or he’ll be near The Quincy football squad to cheer; So on to vict’ry ev’ry time They hear that well known cheer sublime, Quincy’s all right! Now, when the football season’s past And snow flakes falling thick and fast, Be true. Come out, and watch the fight Your school puts up to win the right Of being in league basket ball. Cheer long and loud, cheer one and all— Quincy’s all right! When base ball season comes around Come out upon the base ball ground. A shout, a yell, each noise you make Helps out when victory’s at stake. Just so with tennis in the spring You’ll then know how to yell and ring— Quincy’s all right! Beatrice Rogers, '15. Crosscup (translating French):—“Que de raisons pour moi, si vous pouvez m’entendre. (Translation):—How many raisins for me? Miss Dawes:—“Michael Johnson believed in James II, but swore an oath to the reigning sovereign. What would you call such a man? “Buck” Reardon:—“A politician.” Miss Zeller:—“In German there are two forms for Friend, but in English the noun is in common gender and when I say ‘my friend’, you cannot tell whether the person is mascu- line or feminine.” Larkin:—“Oh! yes, I can.”

T h e Golden-Rod ALUMNI NOTES. Wc arc pleased to see that so many of our alumni are “making good” in the world of colleges and business houses. The great majority reflect credit on the school. An evidence is found in the fact that a committee from the class of ’00 is strenuously pushing an attempt to form a Quincy High School Alumni Association. A very great interest in this was shown by the graduates at a meeting held in Room 13, on Saturday evening, October twenty-fourth. About forty graduates were present, among them being representatives from nearly every class since 1900. Committees were formed as follows:— Organization. E. I.. Collins Joseph II. McPherson Dorothy Fay, '06 Lucien Thayer. ’06 Paul Blackinur. ’ll Program. Gertrude Allen. '05 Marry Hooper, ’06 C'arl Prescott, ’06 Sidney Crane, ’ 11 Fred Atwood. T4 Nominating Frank Prescott, '77 Bessie Brooks, ’09 Iva Briggs, '09 Dorothy Packard, '09 Theodore Corey, '10 Richard Larkin, T3 IMcanore Whittemore, '13 Advertising. Marguerite McCarthy, 'OS Ethel Humpry, '07 Harold Marsh. '09 Charlie Kendall, '09 Russell Bates, '10 William Edwards. Louise Wilson, T4 Wc certainly wish them the very best of luck, and look forward to the time when we, as “grads,” will have earned the right to join the association. We are sorry not to see more of the famil- iar faces of last year’s class back as Post Graduates. However, we are exceedingly glad to be able to extend a hearty welcome to the few of them who have returned. 1909.
