The grass plot which is tramped upon while soft in the spring, shows traces, throughout the summer, of this abuse. In previous years our lawn has been very beautiful and has ranked as one of the best in the city. Make it more beautiful in 1916. Remember that nothing spoils the appearance of a school-yard as a lawn which has been dis- figured by the throwing of stones or walking upon it. Therefore, since there is enough unseeded land about the building, let us respect this territory by not engaging in any action that will tend to harm it. Roger Nelson, 1916. The Sophomores had the honor of having the largest Golden Rod of the year dedicated to them. For this, they are greatly indebted to the new business managers, who made it so by securing over six pages of advertise- ments. However, the Junior Number is still the best issue, from a literary view-point. The next issue is the Freshman Number, and, if the Freshmen live up to their reputation, it will be a fine number. Because of the large number of social activities at this time of the year, it was expected that there would be a slight diminution in the number of subscriptions for the last half year. But this ought not to be so, for, first, such a great activity as The Golden Rod should be foremost in our thoughts, and second. The Golden Rod is even better in the last half of the year than in the first. And therefore, The Golden Rod urges the support of the entire student body and the alumni for the remaining three issues. A deplorable and, indeed, a sad condition is it when a school has among its members persons who intentionally take things that do not belong to them. In such a condition has Quincy High been placed this winter by a few boys who have intentionally taken other fellows’ clothing. If there is one spark of decency and manliness in those who commit these acts, the latter will be discontinued after such a fine, frank, sincere, and manly appeal as Mr. Collins made to us boys to help him remedy this condition. On the other hand, if these acts do continue, the office is in a position to make examples of several of the “thieves”, which would indeed cause much sorrow to the offenders, to the parents of the offenders, and to the school. The refusal of the school committee to allow dancing in the school was received with much surprise and dismay by the pupils, especially the members of the Thalia Club who worked very hard for it, in order to have dancing at their semi-annual socials with the Debating Society. 3
