THERESA S. FEGAN.
Miss Fegan was born in Quincy and received all her edu- cation in the Quincy schools. She graduated from the High School in the class of '79 and entered Col. Parker's Training Class in September. In September, 1880, she became an assistant and the next January was appointed a regular teacher of Grade I in the Willard School. Later she was promoted to Grade IV of the same school. Miss Fegan was given a leave of absence in December, 1893, but was never able to return to her class. She died Saturday, July 28, 1894.
CAROLINE M. SHUNK.
Miss Shunk was a graduate of the Wollaston School and the salutatorian of the class of '86 of the Quincy High School, where she took a post-graduate course the next year. After service in the Quincy Training Class and as an assistant, she was elected teacher of Grade I and later of Grade III in the John Hancock School. In July, 1892, she resigned, but after a rest of a year, she returned to service as teacher of Grade IV in the Adams School. When the new year began in September, 1894, she was obliged to ask for a leave of absence for one month. To the surprise all her friends, Miss Shunk failed suddenly and died Saturday, September 22, 1894.

CLASS ODE.
I.
We have gathered, dear classmates, to bid our farewell, To the scenes that we've cherished so long; By the paths that we've travelled together for years, We must sing our last sad parting song. Long, long be our hearts with sweet memories filled Of the school days that now are no more ; For from these well loved scenes we must boldly go forth, As birds from their nests fain would soar.
II.
First we met when the sunshine of bright autumn days. Shed its glories on these hallowed walls ; And memory radiant treasures reveals As our school life it once more recalls. How sadly we now take our leave of this school, And venture on life's troubled sea ; With what hopes for the future, and dreams of the past, We utter our parting to thee.
419
III.
"The sun of our school days is sinking to rest, Soon shadows around us will throng ; Then let us make sacred this sad parting hour, With the echoing words of our song. Oh, bright be our future, where'er we may roam, In our homes, wheresoe'er we may dwell ;
Let our thoughts turn again to our school days of yore,
And the time when we sang our farewell.
JANE PRUDENCE MCGOVERN. .

To The Parents of the Pupils in the Quincy High School.
As the daily session of the High School closes before 1.30 P. M., it is evident that no pupil of the school can do work satis- factory to himself, his parents or his teachers, unless he has at home regular study hours that shall be observed as carefully and conscientiously as the study hours under the direct supervision of his teachers. To a great extent, promotion will depend on this home work. The parents must demand it, if they expect to get proper returns for the time spent in school. If any pupil says that he has nothing to do at home, something is wrong, and the matter should be investigated.
Respectfully yours,
FREDERIC ALLISON TUPPER,
Head Master. October, 1894.
To aid the teachers in securing this home work, the parent or guardian is requested to sign and return the inclosed slip.
This is to certify that
OF THE QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL.
Has a regular time each day for study at home, and is required to give strict attention to this work at such time.
Signed,
October, 1894.
N. B .- Co-operation of parent and teacher is the best means of producing successful work, and good deportment on the part of the pupil.
The New High School.

MY QUINCY BY THE SEA.
TUNE :
AMERICA.
My Quincy by the Sea, Founded by patriots free, Thy praise is great : Town where my hero sires Kindled fair Freedom's fires. Whose glory ne'er expires, Guarded by Fate.
My native Quincy dear, ('ity without a peer, I love thee well ; I love thy ledges bold That granite stores enfold, A mine of wealth untold, No tongue can tell.
429
Who hath the power to count The charms of Merry Mount Or Fair Blue Hills ? Stand on the ledges high, And feast the enraptured eye, Till Heaven itself seems nigh,- Gone all life's ills.
My father's God, I pray, Keep Quincy safe alway Beneath Thy care. Bless Thou her Public School,
Let truth and beauty rule,
As by Siloam's pool Bloom lilies fair.
FREDERIC ALLISON TUPPER.
