20 THE GOLDEN-ROD Alurppi Notes On the evening of December 27, 1922, the Class of 1920 held their first annual reunion and dance in Alpha Hall. A large number attended and the dance was made especially pleasing by attractive decorations and specialty numbers.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 19 Spring I5 Here Among youngsters, marbles are a sign of spring. In Q. H. S., when you hear the steady thump, thump, thump, of the shot put down in the gym you can be sure that spring is on its way, even if it is cold out- side. It looks as if Quincy would have a splendid track team, judging from the number of men ready to participate. Manager Young has already secured dates with Winthrop and Milton Academy. The manager has also conferred with Somerville, Thayer, and Rindge Tech. These schools all have strong teams. For the past three weeks the high jumpers, broad jumpers, shot putters and sprint- ers have been practising for the fray. On March 5th an inter-class track meet was held at the Y. M. C. A. Out of a total of 63 points the Juniors secured 33, the Seniors 25, and the Sophs 5. Ernest Vallee, was the star of the meet, taking part in several events, and he got two firsts, one second place, and a third. The summary of events: One Lap Race—MacLeod ’24, Vallee ’24, Kimball ’24, all tied for first—time 7 seconds; Renton ’23, time 7 1-5 seconds. Three Lap Race—MacLeod ’24, Vallee ’24, tied for first—time, 21 seconds; Ren- ton ’23, time, 21 3-10 seconds. Seven Lap Race—Renton ’23, time 56 seconds. Kimball ’24, time 57 1-10 sec- onds. Vallee ’24, time, 57 1-10 seconds. Short Put—R. Cook ’24, distance. 32 feet. Herb. Listman ’24, distance, 31 feet 9 1-4 inches. Allan Cole ’23, distance, 31 feet, 6 inches. A CHALLENGE TO EVERY BOY AND GIRL IN THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR CLASSES From May 14 to 18 an All-Student track meet is being held by the M. H. S. A. A. at the Oval. Girls as well as boys are eligible to compete, and at least 80 per cent of the Junior and Senior classes must take part, to be eligible for the State Awards and Cups. Let’s make this a big success! Spring is coming, and on its gentle breezes is wafted to us the first sign of baseball. It won’t be long now before the call for candidates will be echoing over the diamond and the boys will go down to spend their afternoons learning how to put old Q. H. S. on the baseball map of 1923. We have but a handful of letter men as a nucleus for the team. “Ted” Guinan. our crack first baseman, is now languish- ing in the wilds of New Jersey; George Thompson, our snappy short stop, has graduated, and Jerry Hughes, our south- paw twirler, left a few weeks ago. Our letter men to start the season are “Ed” Jacobson, who will without doubt come in from the field and take over the mound; supporting him behind the bat will be “Mac” MacLeod, with “Kid” Siorstrom an able second. “Tommy” Maskilieson will, as of yore, be on the job on the hot corner, while “Art” Piis- panen will hold down second. Out of last year’s candidates we shall have for short- stop Payson and Gould. “Jimmy” Brown will have a good chance in the out field. We need fielders this season, and hope to have plenty of material for the outer regions. First base is open to all comers, and ’tis whispered that a promising youngster in the Junior class, who has been shy and bashful up to this year, will try out for the first stop in the cir- cuit. Q. H. S. will turn out a good nine this season. Coach Mitchell will see to that, but the thing that is deplorably weak is our cheering section. We need and we want every student in Quincy High who has any school spirit in him at all, down at the field at every game, to yell his head off for Quincy. A team cannot play without some incentive, and the in- centive is you and your voice. Newton will be out here May 2nd. We made a good impression in football; don’t let that impression fade. The team will be there to the last ditch, and let us be able to say that of our cheering section.
