24 THE GOLDEN-ROD of order in the building after 1:15. He said that, owing to basketball, many pupils stay at school until the time for the game and while doing so make too much noise. These pupils were told that they would be asked to go away from the school until the time for the game if they could not be quiet. He also said that students must not reenter the school after the game to get their books and wraps. The Teachers’ Play, to be given Tuesday, February 13, was commenced, and the pupils were requested to advertise it. The proceeds will go to Miss Jackson, the school nurse, to be used by her.

It would please us to have some of our exchanges comment on our magazine, and show us how we may improve our paper. The pupils of the Harvard School deserve a great deal of praise for their efforts in pub- lishing a school paper. These youngsters cer- tainly seem to be interested in making the paper a success. We notice the absence of an exchange and alumni column in the Northfield Star. We fail to find an exchange column or table of contents in the Blue and White. Their literary department is commendable. The Industrial School Magazine is always welcome. It is a well-arranged and thorough- ly enjoyable magazine. Its exchange column is one of the best we have seen. Anna L. Cremins, Exchange Editor. QUINCY VS. READING (To music of “Where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday Night?”) Five or six weeks ago, and may-be more, At Quincy High School, on the old gym floor, A few lads from Reading blew in one fine day, (Come quite a way, had a hard game to play.) Papers all said they had a corking team, (And they sure did show some steam.) They played the game mighty fas’, Knew how to shoot and pass, But still, our own home team showed class. Chorus And what did the lads of Quincy do to the five from Reading, that night? Ev’ry other league game they had won with great ease, But our crack Quincy outfit brought them down on their knees. Oh! They had a great team but, when Quincy High met ’er They showed them the'team from old Quincy was better. And what did the lads of Quincy do to the five from Reading, that night? Norman L. Dodge, T2.
