A voice boomed over the P.A.; it was the Vanilla Gorilla, slightly better known as Mr. Arthur Mosher. He challenged the mem- bers of the baseball team to take on the faculty in a war on the baseball diamond. The Vanilla Gorillas were tamed by a handful of the Presidents baseball team. The teachers graciously allowed the students» to begin the inning. First at bat was Dan Biagini then Rob Buttomer, Wayne Chambers, Nick Dragone, and Greg Chambers. Rob made the score 1 to 0 after Wayne’s double sent him home. Next the gorillas were up at bat. Louis Venturelli had a double. Mr. Sean Mulready grounded out and Mr. Mosher had a double that scored Mr. Ven- turelli. The score was tied one to one, but it didn't remain in a tie for long. By the fourth inning the score was 8 to 1 in favor of the students. Adding to the defeat of the teachers were homeruns by Frank Calabro, and Greg Chambers and some nice catches by Sean Thompson, Wayne Chambers, Dan Biagini, Sean Burke and Jim Dennis. Although the score was lopsided, the faculty made some outstanding plays. Mr. Robert Uhlar had some nice hits and Mr. Louis loanilli, proved that he could catch more than skipping students. There was good fielding from Mr. Paul McShane and Mr. Venturelli. Mr. Mosher pitched well. Al- though a good time was had by all, maybe the teachers should stick to the classroom and let the students rule the field. Sean Thompson watches a close play at second base while Wayne Chambers congratulates Dan Biagini during the third inning This was the beginning of a long afternoon for the teachers as the student baseball team continued to increase its lead over the Vanilla Gorillas By virtue of his organization of the student foculty baseball game the teachers honored Mr Arthur Mosher by having him pitch the entire gome The baseball teom was impressed by his ability to get the boll over the plate, and enjoyed being able to whack the ball in his direction.

n in9l occurred during November of 1986 when Quincy High School entered a float in the annual Christmas parade for ther very first time. The band had always marched in the parade, but never had the school had a float. The float committee was initiated by Joe DeAngelo after being given the idea for the float by Melissa Andronico. The committee met to discuss fundraisers. Finally, with the sale of M Ms (what else?) the group raised all the money they needed for the float. The spare time of all the committee members was taken up in the production of paper tissue flowers which would cover the float. The production of flowers seemed a never ending job for eve- ryone involved. The day before the parade, Sharon Goodman. Marsha Goodman, Lisa Perfetuo. Tina Calabro and Karen Zupkofska gathered with the other members and placed all the flowers on the float. The finishing touch- es were made the morning of the parade. On the day of the parade, the committee got together to ride on the float in their costumes. Everyone was a toy. Melissa Andronico was a Jack in the Box. Jeanine Quigley was a base- ball bat. Jennifer Fay become a raggedy doll, Suzanne Shea was a tin soldier while Tracey Anshewitz was a toy soldier and Jeannette Zupkofska was a Crayola crayon. Although it was a first attempt at such an endeavor, Quincy High managed to collect an Honorable Mention for its work and a tradition began. With a bright sun shining down, there u os definitely no rain ruining this parade The temperature was low bur the spirits ran very high as the Quincy High float rolled past the spectators On the rear on the float one can easily see the many characters standing and waving to the crowd Sitting back and enjoying the ride is Jennifer Fay dressed as a living doll. Unlike all the other participants riding along on the float. Jennifer did not have to stand for the entire time. She is surrounded by the paper flowers which were made by the float committee Karel M.
