2 » THE GOLDEN-ROD Exchanges The Golden-Rod wishes to take this opportunity to state that owing to the cost of paper and printing last year but one number, the Senior Number, was issued. This copy was published so late in the year that The Golden-Rod was unable to send any to its various exchanges at that time, and there was no provision made for sending any this Fall. This year, however, there will be four issues circulated, and we hope that they will be enjoyed by our exchanges. We shall be glad to receive our old exchanges again and hope to add new ones to our list. The following Exchanges have been received this year: The Black Ilawk, Davenport High, Davenport, Iowa. The Bmaster, Brewster, Mass. The Everett High Clarion, Everett, Mass. High School Herald, Westfield, Mass. • t Lasell Leaves, Auburndale, Boston, Mass. Lawrence High School Bulletin, Lawrence, Mass. The Mirror, Waltham, Mass. Reformatory Herald, Hutchinson, Kansas. The Rindge Register, Cambridge, Mass. The Southerner, Minneapolis, Minn. WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS ARE DOING DO YOU NEED A SECRETARY? Under this heading the Business Service Class of SOUTH HIGH, Minneapolis, Minnesota, have announced their willingness to undertake, in order to gain practice, the secretarial work of the school. In 1914 something in this line was carried out in Quincy High School. Miss Perry (Mrs. Newton) arranged with several business concerns in Quincy for the pupils in the Commercial Course to go into their respec- tive offices and gain practice in Stenography. The Misses Nilsen and Canty did so well that their employer became greatly interested in them and on the strength of their work retained them after graduation. This plan succeeded in Quincy High School and we hope it will succeed in Min- neapolis South High. THE CHEMISTRY CLUB It is interesting to note how the chemistry pupils of the EVERETT HIGH SCHOOL are making time for the different experiments that arise and have to be ignored because of the lack of time during school hours. They have formed an organization, the Chemistry Club, whose personnel includes any pupil who has taken, or who is now taking, chemistry. Besides carrying out experiments for which there is no time in class, the club members perform those for which they have special fancy. In this way a greater interest in chemistry is aroused. We hope this club will become a success. Gladys Jenkins, Exchange Editor.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 27 Athletics Post-war enthusiasm in athletics has been greatly in evidence during the past Quincy High football season. The football team has thrived with pep and good playing, largely the result of constant drill by our efficient Coach Mitchell. Much of the advertising and general success of the games has been due to Mr. Green, who has ably served as teacher-manager of the team. The faculty in general and especially the office has shown greater enthusiasm than usual during the past season in supporting the football team. The team was somewhat weakened by the loss of many of the experienced players who graduated in June. But this difficulty was quickly overcome by the boys, who displayed an earnest spirit n practice and fast work in the actual game. Bennett and Wentworth on the line, and Leavitt and Jackson in the backfield composed the very backbone of the team. The squad consisted of:— 1. e. Young and Hokenson; 1. t. Bennett, Capt.; 1. g. Hannon, Houlihan and Litton; c. Robertson, Carter; r. g. Shaw, Vallee, and Holden; r. t. Wentworth; r. e. Jenkins; 1. h. Curtis and Jackson; q. b. Davis, and Lindsay; r. h. Gould and Mullarkey; f. b. Leavitt. The following schedule for the season was arranged by Manager Carl Hokenson. October 6—Quincy at Watertown. 10—Melrose at Quincy. 13—Deane Academy at Quincy. 17—Hyde Park at Quincy. 25—Quincy at Natick. 31—Revere at Quincy. November 7—Boston Latin at Quincy. 21—Weymouth at Quincy. 25—Freshmen and Sophomores. “ 27—Alumni. December 2—Juniors and Seniors. 5—Class Championship. QUINCY 0—WATERTOWN 6 October 3. Quincy lost its first game of the season to the Watertown boys. Quincy had the ball behind the opponent’s goal but just as a Quincy player was going to fall on it for a touchdown, the ball was snatched away and a Watertown player ran the whole length of the field for the single touchdown of the game. QUINCY 40—MELROSE 0 October 10. Quincy easily defeated Melrose, rolling up a score of 40 to 0, surging through the Melrose lines as though they were paper. Jackson made a 35-yard run for a touchdown, and Gould secured two more touchdowns, running from the 30 and 45-yard lines. The backfield, consisting of Davis, Gould, Leavitt, and Jackson, exhibited some fine playing. Capt. Bennett and Wentworth on the line also performed well for Quincy. QUINCY 6—DEANE 0 October 13. Quincy met the Deane Academy second team before a large holiday crowd at the Oval. The game was a continuous struggle. The only touch-
