Kim Zupkofska may look a little anx- ious about the upcoming T-day game, but Sonya Gruchy, Jen Horrigan and Shiloh Thompson have typical Quincy confidence. Stacey Free impresses many would-be cheer- leaders at the eighth grade orientation. Al- though new cheerleaders may be able to imi- tate her moves, they can never copy her smile. It Up! Scott Grant ' s dogged determination was a major factor in Quincy ' s over- whelming routing of the Red Raiders. Lisa Connelly and a friend cheer exhu- berantly for the home team, that is the wearers of the blue and white ... as opposed to the red and black.

Early Years September 6, 1985, marked our first day of high school, the first day of being freshmen at Quincy High. The most intimi- dating moment was when we were assigned to homerooms, not necessarily with our old friends. The next hurdle we had to overcome was finding our way to classes. We found it especially difficult to reach the Art wing, where many of us had classes. As the years passed, we had to adjust to new experiences. We became more mature, get- ting used to more classes and more homework. The disci- pline at Quincy High was stron- ger than our Middle Schools, and some of us had to learn the hard way. Quincy High wasn ' t just new to us in school work, it was dif- ferent in social aspects as well. The small cliques found at Middle School were dissolved, and our groups grew larger by the minute. We found it easier to make friends, and this helped us have a more relaxed atmosphere. Activities were plentiful at Quincy High, and there was something for everyone. Whether it was sports, clubs, or committees, we all found our place. If you didn ' t neces- sarily belong to something, you could still go to rallies, dances, and athletic events to socialize. High school has been a growing experience for us. Mow that we ' re seniors we can appreciate it all the more. Col- lege is our next obstacle, and we ' ll succeed there also.
