The last period, March 16, the pupils of one of the Senior History classes con- ducted a current events hour. On March 16, the afternoon pupils lis- tened to the first of a series of readings of stories from the Iliad. Through the generosity of one of the teachers a prize has been offered to the person winning the greatest number of points in a wild flower contest. Points will be awarded on the same basis as they were last year. For the first secimcn of a flower cor- rectly identified—5 points. For the first specimen of a flower un- identified—3 points. For correctly identified specimens al- ready entered—2 points. It is planned to form a club for those interested in further studv of wild flowers in the vicinitv and for the promotion of wild flower conservation. Come to the library to hear more about it. Miss Coulman wishes to announce that she has the ct pies for the past few months of “The Gleam ” a small magazine de- voted to verse collected from the different seccndarv schorls throughout the coun- try. “The Gleam” also contains discus- sions on medern and standard verse writ- ten by Mr. Paul S. Nickerson and Dr. Percy W. I .eng respectively. The Feb- ruary number contains poems by two Quincy ITgh School pupils. Dorothy Briggs and Eli Richman. Ask to see a copy. BOOKS JUST ORDERED 'Making Your Camera Pay”—Davis Here is an up-to-the-minute book, tell- ing the amateur how to take the sort of photographs that have a market value and how to market them. “When the West Was Young”—Bechdolt This contains exciting and true tales of pioneer days and bandits. “Tales of Lonely Trails”—Zane Grey Interesting adventures in the Grand Canyon desert and Mountains of the great Southwest and experiences hunting turkeys and bears are included in this volume. “Captain Blood”—Sabatini Are you looking for a good tale of the sea with buccaneers and pirate ships? Try this. “1492”—Johnston This is a romantic tale of Spain at the time of Ferdinand and Isabella and the new world as first found by the white man. The story is told by a Spanish gentleman, who, to escape persecution at home, ships with Columbus on his first voyage and is closely associated with him. The plot abounds in dramatic interest. NEWS AROUND SCHOOL Mr. Mitchell certainly proved his abil- ity to coach any kind of a team from checkers to water polo by the outcome of Senior Dramatics. Good work, Mitch. “Tooie,” “Peanuts,” “Whitey.” Maskil- ieson has been rechristened “Checkers.” He has more names than the Prince of W ales. By the way, Tooie, who won the checker tournament? The Thalia Club and Mr. Collins have great hopes about receiving ornamental fixtures from graduating classes. No harm in hoping. W’ouldn’t it be nice if— The Alhambra sold season tickets at reduced rates? There were a hundred miles between every two seats? The lights never went on? Two could get in on one ticket? The show changed every day instead of twice a week? We could do our homework while at the Alhambra?

B sKet Ba.II - 1923 The 1923 basketball season opened with a rush. Coach Clark, however, received a handicap when several letter men failed to report. Out of thirty boys thirteen were picked. These were: Maskilieson, Listman, Jacobson. Olsen, Cole, allce, Sjorstrom, Anderson, Cliffe. Berman, Mil- ford, Thompson, Mowbray and Bassett. Cole was substituted for Guinan. who BRAINTREE 17; QUINCY 34 Quincy beat Braintree by a large mar- gin. At the end of the first half the score was 13-4 in Quincy's favor. Braintree was puzzled by our passing but in the last half ran their score to 17. Listman. Jacobson, and Maskilieson starred for Quincy. REX ERE 29; QUINCY 18 Quincy suffered defeat at the hands of Revere. Our boys were handicapped by the small gym. During the last half the first .string men were released, and the second team finished the game. STOUGHTON 26; QUINCY 30 Two days later our boys took the strong Stoughton team into camp. It was Quincy’s head work that enabled us to win. This game was one of the cleanest our boys have ever played. During the second half, things were breaking for Quincy when the referee’s whistle blew. ROCKLAND 23; QUINCY 22 Rockland has always had a strong team and this year was no exception. In the first half Quincy was asleep, but dur- ing the second half came to life and came within an ace of winning. played his last game for Q. H. S. against Braintree. Olson was given the other position as back. With Jacobson again playing center, and Listman and Maski- lieson, forwards, it looked like a promising season. Mr. Clark got his squad into shape, and the first game was played with Braintree, January 6, 1923. ABINGTON 27: QUINCY 30 This game was the fastest and cleanest played on Quincy’s floor this season. It was a nip and tuck affair from start to finish. Listman was shifted to center in place of Jacobson, while Thompson and MacLeod, who played forwards, put the game on ice for Quincy. WALPOLE 7; QUINCY 28 In a slow and uninteresting game Quincy beat Walpole. The game was marked with many poor passes on both sides. In the second half Coach Clark replaced part of the varsity team with second string men. SOMERX ILLE 17; QUINCY 16 Somerville won this game from Q. H. S. by hard and “heady” playing. Several times the score was tied, but our boys failed to get even with their opponents at the last of the game. ROCKLAND 17: QUINCY 14 Quincy played a splendid game con- sidering Rockland’s small gym. Listman and Jacobson played a fine game, while the backs helped to keep Rockland’s score down.
