THE GOLDEN-ROD If» It is inevitable that an institution of learning should inspire some men and women to educate others; Quincy High is no exception. Carl Hayward, class of 1900, is a Professor of Metallurgy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- og)-. lie is a resident of Quincy, and President of our local Y. M. C. A. Pro- fessor Hayward, as you may recall, gave the Science Club a very interesting lec- ture on “Minerals” some time ago. Gunnar Carlson, class of 1917, is an instructor of Modem Languages at Up- sala College, East Orange, New Jersey. Allison Marsh, class of 1909, is a Pro- fessor in the Department of Education at Amherst College. Perhaps some of you will come in con- tact with Ililding Carlson, class of 190b, who is an assistant professor at Boston University. Quincy High School claims at least one Grammar School principal, Henry T. Prairio, class of 1904. Until recently, he was headmaster of the Cranch and Adams schools, but now he is headmaster of Adams, Webster, and Pollard Schools. In any civilization, religion is an im- portant factor. We should point with pride to three religious leaders that Quincy High School has turned out. Per- haps some of you know Reverend Harry Hooper, class of 1900. He is a Uni- tarian minister in the neighboring town of Hingham, Massachusetts. Then, in the opposite corner of the world, we find Reverend James B. Ma- honey, class of 1902. He is a Jesuit priest and is doing his life’s work in the far off Philippine Islands. A little nearer home is Stanley Sher- man, class of 1908, who is a Congrega- tional minister in Franklin, New Hamp- shire, under the shadow of the beautiful Mount Monadnock Quincy High School looks with pride to other public benefactors from among her graduates. Many of us know Rich- ard Ash, M. D., class of 1912. Dr. Ash has married and settled in Quincy, and has a large practice in this city. Harold Marsh, class of 1910, is a physician in the Mayo Hospital, Madison, Wisconsin. This hospital, some of you may know, is one of the two hospitals founded by the Mayo brothers. John MacClure, class of 1906, is the owner and proprietor of a meat market in Atlantic. Irving Badger, class of 1907, and his brother are the owners and proprietors of Badgers Garage on Adams Street, Quincy. Fridolf Peterson, class of 1910, is a graduate of Boston University. He was in France at the outbreak of the World War and saw nine months’ service in the army in 1918. After the war he returned to America where he has taught in many schools. At present he is an instructor of French, Spanish and Algebra at Bos- ton English High School. Thomas Larken, class of 1907, is the way foreman at the Fore River Yard. He

18 THE GOLDEX-ROD be the anger of the owners, and soon will the school authorities be acquainted with your transgressions. If you attempt to trespass on the school lawns, the ever vigilant office force will be ready with a deserved rebuke or punishment. There- fore it is your better welfare and peace of mind to keep your wayward feet on the straight and narrow path, which in this case, is the hard cement. R. C. ARE YOU A BOOSTER OR A KNOCKER? Do you go around saying something good concerning Quincy High or do you belong to the class that is always finding fault? How many of us ever stop to think of the advantages that are given to us every day? Just recently a visitor who has resided in Washington, Chicago and San Fran- cisco remarked on the great opportuni- ties available to the children of this Com- munity; the wonderful work in musical appreciation, the work done in health supervision, and the splendid coopera- tion between parents and teachers as evinced in the “Parent Teachers Associa- tion.” We have become so used to these things that instead of thanking the au- thorities and realizing our good fortune, we take them for granted. Think of all the advantages and opportunities that are ours and forget the petty imitations. Be a booster for your school and for your city. R. C. TO OUR SOPHOMORES We welcome you! You who are the future upper classmen! It is your duty for the next three years to think and work for Quincy High School. Make yourselves acquainted with our rules and regulations and conform to them. Live up to all the Quincy High School tradi- tions of honor and duty on the field of athletics. In your persuit of outside pleasures do not forget the duty due your studies. Both inside and outside remember that Quincy High School is your school and that it is for you to keep its reputation on the high level it has al- wavs held. R. C.
