THE GOLDEN-ROD •2:1 THE SCHOOL LIBRARY Students of Quincy High, do you realize that there is an excellent library in your school? I think that some of you forget you have this library, which is located in Room 13. Co into this quiet, orderly, and attractive room, and you will find many well chosen books and some of the best periodicals. Over two hundred new books have been ordered. Go in and browse around. If you have a subject to look up, you may feel quite sure you can find it here. If you cannot find the information you desire, consult the librarian. You will find that both Miss Coulman and Miss Vaughn are willing and eager to help you. They are continuing the good work which Miss Bates began and have succeeded in making the library a valuable feature of the school. Show them that you appreciate their efforts by frequenting Room 13. Ruth Cold-well, ’20. “OH LORD, WHAT FOOI-S THESE MORTALS BE” Although “there is no fool like an old fool” it is quite possible, indeed quite common, for a “young fool” to surpass an “elder fool” in nonsensical freaks. On Wednesday, November 12, 1919, the seniors of Q. H. S., thinking that the school needed a bit of adornment and of lustre to relieve the dullness of its spacious halls, decided to decorate it by hanging flashy and loud-sounding colors upon their graceful frames. Indeed, glancing a little below the projection formed by the thyroid carti- lage in the neck (in other words, the Adam’s Apple) of some of our worthy members the reflection became so blinding that we immediately hastened away for fear of being assailed by the embarrassing and distressing inquiry of “what yer blushin’ for?” Others who thought their angelic and ecclesiastical visages might attract and please the eye if given a solemn and reverential background attempted to obtain that seeming elevation of mind and respectful loftiness possessed by our devout and pious friend whose services we all, it is hoped, attend each and every Sabbath Day. But, gentle reader, do not be misled into thinking that the gentlemen were the only pupils having a concern in ornamenting our institution of learning. Mary Pickfords were everywhere in evidence—lending a touch that gave a delicate and beauteous refine- ment which tended to lessen the dazzling splendor of their masculine rivals. When the time came to depart, everyone professed having had an enjoyable and amusing day. —Ilildur Wester, ’20. You ask why the crowd is hanging around the balcony of the Hall after school lately. Just take a glance downward and watch Miss Giles marshalling her beau- teous forces for the “Christmas Pageant.” Look at the participants and you will agree that “There’s a reason.” It seems that Room 29 has the same attraction for College and Technical pupils at 1:15 as ever. On November 19 the Juniors attempted to out-rival the “freak” performance of the Seniors. Edward Shyne, News Editor. Almost anyone: “Have you forgotten you owe me a quarter?” Schenkleberger: “No, not yet. Give me time and I will.”
