Miss Dawes:- Why should there be any naval officers in the West. 1 Hixgston:—Oh! They use them on the prairie schooners. Found in Rus Sanborn’s Desk. From Your Best Girl:—Will see you to- morrow in the corridor, 3rd. period. Good bye dearie, SPRING. Spring is the season of lilac and poppy, The streets are all muddy and everything sloppy. The snow is all melting in beautiful Spring, You slip in the slush and go down with a— Bing. 1. You have heard of them boys of T3, In an issue of this paper in Jan-u-ary. Them T3 boys are not in it with we, j Because we are the boys of E3 C. 2. E3 C is our name And we are noted for our fame. Them T3 boys are slow beside we, Because we are the boys of E3 C. 3.

Mary had a little horse, The horse was full of frolic, With him Mary had a nice time Until he got the colic. She sent for a veterinarian To see if he could cure him, They doctored him both night and day, Then Mary went to insure him. She insured him for two hundred dollars In case he shouldn’t live. She paid one hundred on account, The rest she’d later give. The horse; he lived for many years, And May was forced to pay The insurance bill, besides the bill For the horse’s grain and hay. Edwin G.

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.
