The staff hopes that all who con- tributed to the success of the first issue will keep up the good work, and those who were backward will come across and push. Sophomores and Freshmen, this means you! The sale of the Golden Rod in your classes fell far below expectations. Wake up! The Golden Rod belongs just as much to you as to the upper classes. WELCOME, FRESHMEN! Welcome, Class of February, 1926! We have hopes that you will prove your- selves one of the best Freshman classes ever entered at Quincy High. You are especially fortunate in entering at a time when school activities are in their full swing and ready to receive you. Step in and help push them along. This is the way to prepare yourselves for your duties as Seniors. An excellent way to get ac- quainted with school life and spirit would be to buy and read the Golden Rod. REPORTS Already the second reports have been received and the half year mark passed. To some this meant joy and satisfaction with the knowledge of work well done. To some this meant the disappointment of bitter failure. Some of these failures may have been from hard-working students. Such may be consoled by George Eliot’s saying, “Failure after a long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a fail- ure.” Whether you are one of the unfor- tunate or one of the “never tries,” make a resolution today to make the remainder of the year the banner season in Quincy High. Show the world that Quincy High School is “looking up.” The staff is very sorry that Doris Cra- pon received no acknowledgment for her story, entitled “Yours truly,” in the last issue.
