WHY, THE PRESIDENTS? The Quincy High School Presidents is a group of very proud and competitive students. From the football field to the marching band they excel in all they do. ' Presidents” is an appropiate name for Quincy High School because of Quincy's important history. Quincy was first founded in 1625 by Captain Wollaston and started as a trading post. Later Quincy progressed with the beginning of the the iron and steel industry in the country. Granite also became a large industry for the city. The year 1735 was the year that Quincy started its long list of founding fathers, with the birth of later to be President John Adams. In 1767 Presi- dent John Quincy Adams was born, and the list of Quincy born continues with men such as John Hancock, Josiah Quincy, anc Richard Cranch. At this time only 51 students attended the school. Man changes have been made since then in- cluding the addition of the Quincy Voca- tional Technical School in 1967. 1. The Adams birthplaces. 2.

GO BIG BLUE! Quincy is filled with many reminders of why the students at Quincy High are called the Presidents. In addition to all the reminders of the Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, such as their birthplaces which are National Historic Monuments and the Adams family man- sion and the “Church of the Presidents, the First Parish Church (Unitarian), there are all the Presidential logos in and around the school. Nearly every sports team and many of the various clubs and activities have used the president's top hat as a logo of sorts. The basketball court has the hat printed at its center. Some groups have printed cups and mugs with the hat. Others have sold bumper stickers and calendars embla- zoned with the hat. Still others have sold seat cushions and towels always displaying some form of the top hat. The seal on the cover of this yearbook is just one more ap- plication of the logo. 1.
