Now comes the time for us to renew the friend- ship of our Exchanges. We extend our very best wishes to them all for a happy and successful school year. Owing to the change in the number of editions of the Golden-Rod and the earlier publication of the first edition, our Exchange list is not as extensive as we hope it will be in our next issue. We sincerely hope that all of our Exchanges of last year will include us in their list of this season. The Golden-Rod acknowledges the re- ceipt of the following papers:— The Register—Boston Latin School. School Life—Melrose, Mass. The Distaff—Girls’ High School, Boston. The Imp—Brighton, Mass. Lasell Leaves—Auburndale, Mass. The High School Herald—Westfield, Mass. Just a few comments:— School Life—Congratulations on the success of your football team. We earnestly hope that it will continue. It seems as if it would be better to place your editorials first in your paper, as a sort of introduction, and have the poems and stories follow. The Distaff—Your idea of having a ques- tion and answer box is a good one. Let us hope many of the schools will profit by it. The Register—Your story “A Circle within a Square” is a fine one. Where is your Ex- change column? We regret very much that 11 The High School Herald and “Lasell Leaves” arrived too late for comment in this issue. If you have a bit of news, Send it in. Or a joke that will amuse, Send it in. A story that is true, An incident that’s new, We want to hear from you! Send it in. Ex Proffessor:—Where do bugs go in the winter?

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.

T h e Golden-Rod 13 ATHLETICS. The outlook for a successful football season was very good and a large squad re- ported to Capt. Larkin and coaches French and Mansur. The veterans from last year’s team arc the following: Crosscup, Hamlin, Browne, Smith, Reardon, Foy, Crocker, Sandborne, Jepson and Capt. Larkin. A fine schedule was arranged by manager Tom. Barstow and was played as follows:— Sept. 19 Wellesley at Wellesley “ 25 Hingham at Hingham “ 29 Newton at Newton Oct. 2 Rindge at Quincy 12 Arlington at Arlington lb Winthrop at Quincy 23 Milton at Milton “ 30 Revere at Quincy Nov. 0 Brockton at Quincy “ 14 Elm Hill Prep, at Quincy “ 21 Waltham at Waltham Quincy 0, Wellesley 19. Sept. 19 Quincy opened its season ai Wellesley with a defeat at the hands of the eleven from that town. The veteran back- field of the Wellesley eleven proved too powerful for our boys. Many lay the de- feat to the loss of our quarter-back, Willard Crocker, who was put out with a wrenched knee. Quincy 31, Hingham 0. Sept. 25 Quincy won its first victory on the oval by defeating the Hingham aggre- gation to the tune of 31 to 0. The game was a very long drawn-out one because of the inequality of the teams. Quincy 0, Newton 7. Sept. 29. Our boys journeyed to Newton and suffered defeat. The Newton team started with a spurt which Quincy couldn’t stop. The result was that in less than two minutes’ playing Newton had crossed our line for a touchdown. This was enough; our boys tightened and from that time on it was hard for Newton to get a first down, not to mention getting a goal. De Senso, Larkin and Reardon played well for Quincy. Quincy 0, Rindge 13. Oct. 2. In the second home game Quincy went down to defeat before the strong Rindge Technical School eleven. Quincy was out- weighed on the average of ten pounds to a man. The game was a very hard fought one Rindge had to fight for every inch they gained. Larkin, Hamlin and Reardon ex- celled for Quincy. Quincy 9, Arlington 0. Oct. 12. We annexed another victory in a very slow game from Arlington. The Quincy team seemed to lack the punch and fight to send the ball over the line. They had four chances to score but were successful in only one. The game was attended by a holiday crowd, numbers of whom were from Quincy. Quincy 0, Winthrop 0. Oct. 10. In the drizzling rain Quincy and Winthrop played a scoreless tie. The game was marred by many fumbles caused by the wet ball. Both teams were within striking distance of the goal several times but neither could score. Larkin made several long runs; Hamlin also featured for Quincy. Quincy 10, Milton 7. Oct. 23. With over two hundred students to cheer them on. the team travelled to Mil- ton and defeated the strong eleven represent- ing that town. Quincy started with a jump and rushed their opponents off their feet for the first few rushes, but when they neared the goal, they lacked the punch to put the ball over. Larkin, however, finally carried the ball over after a thirty yard run. In the second period Hamlin kicked a pretty drop- kick from the thirty-five yard line. Hamlin. Larkin and Arthur played well for Quincy.
