S. midget team completely turned the tables on the Huntington team by defeating them in an exciting race. The first runner for Quincy secured a lead over his opponent, though Quincy’s second runner lost about one-half this lead, and the third runner was passed by his opponent. It was here that Maybury, the fast midget runner, showed his speed by overhauling and, after a hard sprint, passing the Huntington School runner. Silver medals were presented to the midget team as winners. The first team was matched against the Weymouth, West Roxbury and Natick High Schools. The midget team, out to revenge their defeat at the Huntington School meet, chose to run the midget repre- sentatives of that school. Dennehy entered for the mile run.

19 The Golden- Rod literary and exchange departments? The contents of your literary column are good, but some stories would make it more at- tractive. The Aroostookan:—In looking through this magazine, there is nothing confusing about the arrangement as in some papers, where one column directly follows another without hardly the space of a line between. Here we can see at a glance just what each section is about. The Reflector:—We do not quite agree with the criticism on exchange columns of your former editor, in as much as he suggests a detailed criticism of only one exchange in each issue. This is very well for the paper that is lucky or unlucky enough, which ever the case may be, to receive the comment. But when one realizes that most of our school papers are only issued from eight to ten times a year, it is quite impossible to give all a fair chance when there are between forty and sixty exchanges to be considered during the year. “Your cover design is neat, your paper good, and the print clear. The Editorials are well written, and your Literary Department is exceptionally good. Why not have a heading for it as for the other departments? School Life is well worked up, as are your Alumni Notes. You seem to have a small number of Exchanges. Your criticisms are to the point, yet we think you might say more about each paper. The heading of ‘Jokes’ is very clever, and the jokes themselves are really good. That is something we cannot say about all Joke Columns.”—The Aegis, Beverly, Mass. TRACK TEAM. PHOTO BY NERSES

21 The G o I d e n The first team was not so fortunate as the midget. They won their event after a close race, but were not given medals, owing to the fact that one of the Quincy runners fouled another runner, and Quincy High was dis- qualified. No blame can be laid to Quincy High’s relay team, because the foul was purely accidental and such as may happen in any sport. Dennehy secured fifth place in the mile. This year the relay team has been success- ful. Last year, and several other years, the the relay teams have all finished last in their races. It was largely through the efforts of Mr. Thompson as coach, that the teams were so successful. All pupils should show their appreciation of this work, the boys, by enter- ing and the girls, by attending, the spring track meets. Daniel Dennehy.
