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.

THE GOLDEN - ROD 27 QUINCY 33, ROCKLAND 10 February 2, 1917. Quincy virtually swamped Rockland on the home floor. Quincy did not present its full strength in the first period, consequently there was an even tussle for a part of this period, Rockland lead- ing at one time, 8 to 7. Our boys overcame this handicap speedily, however, and the period ended with the score of 13 to 8. In the second and third periods Quincy presented its strongest line-up and Rockland was power- less, being able to score but two goals from fouls. Jenkins and LeCain were Quincy’s high scorers with four and three baskets, re- spectively. Billings put up a strong game for Rockland. Between periods, the seniors defeated the sophomores with a score of 26 to 3. QUINCY 35, ATTLEBORO 6 February 6, 1917. Quincy defeated Attle- boro in one of the fastest games of the sea- son on the home floor. Attleboro was far out- played in all phases of the game. Quincy en- tered the game with the expectation of a hard struggle, but Attleboro was utterly unable to break through Quincy’s defense. Attleboro scored but one basket during the whole game, the other points being the result of goals from fouls. Quincy on the other hand presented a speedy attack and scored almost at will. Every member of our team played a strong game; Jenkins led in the scoring with eight baskets, followed by Desmond with six. Between the periods, the seniors defeated the juniors 13 to 3, thus creating a top tie in the class league standing. QUINCY 22, CHELSEA 14 February 10, 1917. Quincy traveled to Chelsea and easily defeated the latter’s team. Our team exhibited a superior brand of team- work and at no time was its lead threatened. Chelsea was completely outclassed, being able to score but one basket in the first period. Beaton showed remarkable ability in dribbling up the floor. Jenkins and Williams excelled in foul shooting for Quincy and Chelsea re- spectively, Jenkins securing six goals out of seven tries and Williams eight out of eleven. Quincy’s second team lost to Chelsea with the score of 17 to 11. QUINCY 17, READING 13 February 13, 1917. Before a record crowd of spectators, Reading went down to defeat on the home floor in one of the hardest fought games of the season. The game was replete with thrills and brought the spectators to their feet time and time again. Quincy secured the lead at the start and scored five points in short order before Reading scored one. Jenkins started the scoring with a goal from foul and was followed by Beaton and Des- mond with spectacular baskets. The visitors secured no baskets in the first period, the
