26 THE GOLDEN-ROD Alternate—Robert Browne. Rebuttal—Charles Brooks. Affirmative—Arnold Cullman, Paul Reardon and Porter Collins. Alternate—John Fuller. Rebuttal—Porter Collins. The Debating Society, with the help of their splendid coach, Air. Jewell, have been doing excellent work. Meetings are held regularly every two months and various questions are debated. Reports from Bridgewater Normal show that nine out of ten pupils from Quincy High School are on the honor roll. This is an interesting and unusual fact, and one which speaks well for the train- ing received in Quincy High. This en- viable record is surpassed by only one school which has but three pupils at- tending the institute, all of whom are on the honor roll, thus making their record 100%. A similarly interesting report comes from Clark University, Worcester. All the students attending this college from Quincy are on the honor roll. Clark is greatly pleased with this record and hopes more Quincy students will join its ranks. Miss Flagg wishes to announce that the biology classes are planning a drive in order to obtain money to purchase a skeleton. Many donations have been re- ceived, but the quota is still a long way off. All the pupils of the school and not only the biology classes should aid in this undertaking and see that it “goes over big.” Virginia Carville. CONTEST A prize is offered to the Quincy High School student who writes the best essay under the following heading: “THE MOST ORIGINAL AD IN THE GOLDEN ROD” All essays must be mailed to “Sim, the Tire Man,” Wollaston, Massachusetts, before May first. For further particulars see the Editor-in- Chief.

BASEBALL Ronald Woodman, manager of the Quincy High baseball team, has an- nounced the following schedule for the coming season: May 1—Boston Latin at Quincy. May 4—Dedham at Quincy. May 8—Boston English at Quincy. May 11—Hingham at Quincy. May 15—Open. A lay 19—Open. May 22—Brockton at Quincy. May 26—Dedham at Dedham. May 29—Dorchester at Quincy. June 2—Brockton at Brockton. June 8—Hingham at Hingham. June 12—Milton at Quincy. Without an exception, each school on the schedule has always had a good base- ball team. This fact promises plenty of excitement for the fans. Coach Franklin B. Mitchell will open practise about April 1, although there may be indoor practise earlier. There arc a few letter men who are expected to report this year, Lubarsky and Asnes, pitchers; Hebert, catcher; O’Brien, first base; Fitzgerald at third; Nichols, out- field. The new material, however is very- promising, and Coach Mitchell expects a first-rate team this year. TRACK We are certainly proud of the wonder- ful record of the relay team this season. It has defeated every team on the sched- ule; teams which are considered among the best in the state. Our boys have won five medals for their remarkable work. Coach Wilson is not a little responsible for these victories. Surely one cannot wish for a better combination, a working team and an efficient coach. Our indoor relay team, composed of Captain Xorman Earle, Joseph Morse, Bryant Minot, and Milford Platner, de- feated Concord, Gloucester and Peabody High Schools, and turned in second-best time for the two-lap relays at the B. A. A. Inter-scholastic meet on Saturday, Feb. 7, 1925. In the Quincy meet, Gloucester drew the pole, which gave the Gloucester run- ner a two-yard lead over Platner. The distance between them was the same when Minot took up the running, but he shortened it gradually and gave Morse an even start. Morse got away like a flash and when he turned the race over to Earle he had a fifteen-yard lead over the nearest competitor. True to form, Earle, running strong, finished 30 yards ahead of the nearest man, a Gloucester runner. Our team made the remarkable time of 3 min. 5 sec. They nearly lapped the Concord team, since their last man was starting on the last lap when Earle crossed the finish line. At the Harvard Inter-scholastic Indoor meet at Mechanics Building on Saturday . Feb. 28, our team defeated Winthrop and Portland High Schools. Quincy also tied with Jamaica Plain for the fastest time honors in Class B, and Norman Earle finished fourth in the 300-yard dash, thus giving Quincy a total of 5 4 points. In other meets our team defeated Hyde Park (time: 2 min. 3 sec.), and Rindge Tech (time: 1 min. 25 sec.). Due to the lack of facilities Coach Wil- son did not try to put a full indoor team in the meets, but was contented to enter the relay and a few individual events.
