The Golden-Rod 19 ALUMNI NOTES. The editorial staff of the “Golden-Rod has chosen a new editor for this column as the combined work of this column and the ex- change column seemed to be too great a burden for one person. The Alumni Association has certainly got a good start. They are planning to give a play in charge of Mrs. Willard Shepard (n6e Molly Brown) on May 8th for the benefit of the High School Athletic Associa- tion. On June 3rd there is to be a picnic, featured by a baseball game between the odds and evens. A membership campaign will be held in April. The Association will play the High School base ball team on April 19th and they arc also planning some tennis matches. They are in hope of defeat- ing the school teams and thus make up for the defeat which they received in basketball this winter. Edwin I). McDonald, T3, is working as a shipper, at the G. E. Keith Co., South Boston. Richard Ash, T3, is studying at Tufts College.

The Ohio Journal-Herald, a few weeks ago, spoke of the splendid work of Allison Marsh, Q. H. S. ’09 and Amherst ’13, in the physical department of Wesleyan University as as- sistant to Prof. Dixon. This is his first year at Wesleyan and he is already a great favorite among the students and faculty, and promises to make a great success. Marjorie Snow, Viola Jackson and Priscilla Robinson, all of the class of 1914, were in the Radcliffe freshman play, “Quality Street,” which was presented several weeks ago. Margaret Atwood.

At this meeting President Crocker ap- pointed for the annual senior reception committee: Willard Crocker, chairman ; Robert Davis, Lincoln Crosscup, Margaret Park, Marion Wilson, and Louise Churchill. The following have been appointed as the senior banquet committee: Sturgis Hunt, chairman; Thomas Barstow, Hazel Henry, and Dorothy Brown. Twelfth Night, given on March 12, was the fourth of the matinees offered to high school pupils at the Boston Opera House. Owing to the disbanding of the Jewett Company for this season, the fifth and last production, which was to have been selected from the more modern plays, has been cancelled, and the money of ticket holders refunded. It is needless to say that the pupils thoroughly enjoyed the offerings of the players and hope that similar arrangements can be made in the future. The fire drill of March 23 emptied the en- tire building in a little under ninety seconds. This is the shortest time so far this year and speaks well for the co-operation of all. Miss Elinor Furber is taking the place of Miss Ryan in Room 10. The school flag was placed at half mast March 23 out of respect to Charles Francis Adams. Did you know that: And idea in some people’s heads would get awfully lonely? A fool continues to argue when he is con- vinced that he is wrong? Some people’s minds are like sponges— they give forth only what has been soaked into them? Some folks are like rocking chairs—full of motion without progress. It is better to have a boil than a grouch: you can usually cure the boil. Arthur Bowen, News Editor. BACHELOR HALL Senior dramatics QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL April 23, 1915 8 O’clock CAST HON.

20 The Golden-Rod The Tattler—Nashua, N. H. The Record—Newbury port, Mass. The Missouri High School—Columbia, Mo. The Stylus—Taunton, Mass. Here’s wishing success to The Wireless from Dedham. Its material looks decidedly promising, and we are sure it will be among the first ranks of the exchanges in a short while. The Recorder from Winchester High con- tains many well-developed columns, but two or three clever cuts would be an improve- ment. A fine quantity of witty jokes brightens the pages of The Mirror from Waltham. The Clarion of West Hartford can afford to develop both its joke and exchange columns. There arc many interesting articles in the Vermont Pioneer. Couldn’t more be made of the Exchange column? We are very glad to welcome The Student from English High, Providence. It iscertainly a fine paper. An exceedingly attractive cover design ap- pears on The Chronicle of Hartford, Conn., for the February number. To The Review of Westboro, Mass., we would suggest that all the advertisements be con- fined to the first and last few pages of the paper. To scatter the “ads,” among the literary departments of a paper detracts from its appearance very much. The Tattler of Nashua has a fine literary de- partment. The Newburyport High School Record has a very pretty cover design. We were very much amused and enter- tained by the jokes in the Stylus of Taunton, Mass. It is certainly a fine paper. This edition of Salmagundi is even more in- teresting than the first one. The cover is certainly very attractive. How we stand with other schools: The Quincy Golden-Rod has a fine cartoon- ist, to say nothing of its many other fine features—School Life, Melrose. The Golden-Rod from Quincy High School deserves praise, for all the departments are well worked out—Reflector, Gloucester, Mass. The Golden-Rod is a bright and witty paper from cover to cover. It also has a good supply of advertisements. —Salmagundi Presque Isle, Maine. Louise Churchill. Exchange Editor. The basket ball team finished third place in the Interscholastic League, being defeated for second position by Winthrop. During the season the team rolled up a total of 324 points against the 242 points gained by their opponents; they won nine and lost six games. The team lost both its games with Wellesley, champions of the League, split with Winthrop and Revere, and took two from Reading. In games with teams which were not in the league, they beat Weymouth twice, Mans- field, Woburn, and the Alumni once, and were beaten twice by Brockton. Hamlin was the high scorer in the team, having netted 30 points up to the time illness forced him out of the game. Davis
