20 THE GOLDEN-ROD tie. The judges were also divided on the best speaker. Everett was superior in elocution and more fluent in speaking, but Quincy presented the best argument. Everett will debate at Quincy next year. Mr. Thomas A. Watson, who helped Alexander Graham Bell invent the tele- phone, spoke to the school Monday, Jan. 23rd. Mr. Watson was very interesting, and told how the telephone was discov- ered, made, and perfected. Mr. Bell and Mr. Watson were experimenting on the harmonic telegraph one day when Mr. Bell heard a slight noise made by the in- ALUMNI The Alumni Association commenced the season, Wednesday, December 28th, 1921, with a masquerade ball, which was a great success. 1908 Ted Keohane, an overseas veteran, was married last November to Miss Margaret Carey of Quincy, a Woodward graduate. 1910 Captain Thomas H.

From this he and Mr. Watson made many experimental telephones and finally succeeded in making one success- ful. The first telephone ever used is now as clear and distinct as those in present use. This was proved when Mr. Watson and Mr. Bell talked from New York to San Francisco, Mr. Bell using the first telephone. The school paid close atten- tion to Mr. Watson, and owes many thanks to Miss Emerson, who persuaded Mr. Watson to speak to us. NOTES 1916 Henry W. Erickson, who graduated from M. I.

FOOTBALL, 1921 Quincy ended its football season Thanksgiving morning, when it played a 7—7 tie with the Alumni. Considering the muddy field, our men played good football. Guinan, Listman and Wood- worth starred for Quincy, and Topham and Woodworth did good work for the Alumni. SOPHOMORES 35, FRESHMEN 0 The following Friday the two lower classes met on a muddy field. The fresh- men were out-aged and out-weighed by the sophomores. Capt. Neal, Mowbray, and Nelson starred for the sophomores. Capt. Cook and Todd did good work for the losers. The game was nothing but a picnic for the sophomores who used two full teams. The freshmen were game to the last and have pluck if nothing else. FOOTBALL RECEPTION At the football reception “Q’s” were given to Capt. Guild, Capt.-elect Guinan, Johnson, Arverson, Richmond, Dingwell, Anderson, Barstowe, Reed, Shenkclber- ger, McLeod, Bassett, Woodworth, Neal, Cole, Cliffe, Listman, Heap, and Manager McQuarrie. Foster was chosen next year’s manager, while “Ted” Guinan was elected to lead it throughout its 1922 season. Guinan has two years’ experience on the gridiron and should make a good captain. Besides the above mentioned, there are Mowbray, Berman, Hoey, Nelson, Fos- tello, Van Nostitz, Cook, Rhodes, and Young. These boys have played in the minor games this season and should be a great factor in next year’s team. Coach Mitchell more than deserves praise for his hard work throughout the season. The squad gave him a gift as a mark of appreciation of his services. Fac- ulty Manager Webb and Student Mana- ger McQuarrie should be rewarded for their good work. This year Quincy was better outfitted than it has ever been be- fore. Mr. Webb bought all that the school fund could afford. Mr. Nisson taught the line men a good many things necessary in their playing and was greatly responsible for getting them into condi- tion. With these men back next year there is no reason why we shouldn’t have a successful season. BASKETBALL, 1921 The 1921 basketball season opened with a rush. To Coach Clark’s first call 40 boys reported. After two weeks of try- outs the squad was reduced to eighteen boys. A week later it was cut down to ten boys. These men were the pick of forty boys. They are Listman, Maskilieson, Neal, Cummings, Woodworth, Cole, Bar- stow, Guinan, Anderson, and Jacobson. Mr. Clark whipped the squad into shape and the first game was played with Chel- sea, Jan. 6, 1922. CHEASEA 21, QUINCY 0 Chelsea administered a beating to the home team by the above score. Chelsea always has a strong team and this year was no exception. Our boys were be- wildered by Chelsea’s clever passing and fell a victim to its snappy team work. QUINCY 23, MALDEN 12 Quincy took on a new lease of life the following Tuesday and took a hand at giv- ing a beating itself. Quincy’s work had greatly improved. Maskilieson was re- peatedly “fed” by Guinan and Listman, and by the aid of his good shooting, Quincy won. ROCKLAND 22, QUINCY 18 Rockland gave Quincy a beating the following Friday on its own floor.
