Ii has over eighty years of progress and development to its credit. It is a good school in a good town; and your attitude toward it will help immeasurably to keep it the kind of school you want it to be. Your school has a fine tradition to live up to. It has been on the accredited list of the University of Michigan since 1905, and accredited by North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools since 1937. In the years of its existence it has received recognition for outstanding work in many fields. You can be proud of your present school building. It replaced the old building that stood on the same spot. It was dedicated in January, 1932. In 1943, the new Athletic Field replaced Lake Field located in the west end of town. The vocational addition was dedi- cated in April. 1955. The new high school building was dedicated in February. 1962. The athletic field was rebuilt in 1969. With the completion of these facilities Quincy now pos- sesses one of the finest high school plants in southern Michigan. But. after all, it is not the physical plant that makes the school. It is YOU, the student, who makes its name - by your work, your spirit, and your character. It is your school, keep it clean, neat and always reflect credit to yourself, your parents, your community. Dress neatly and appropriately, be proud of yourself and you will be proud of your school. The high school exists for only one purpose, to provide an education for the youth of the nation. In obtaining this education you must work, study, concentrate and always strive to do better. Learning isn't always easy, nor is it always fun. Your teachers try to keep the subjects interesting. However, like anything else, learning takes long hours of practice; sometimes these are monotonous, other times short and humorous. W ■■ ' f er) • . Si mu §■ 2

There is a deep satisfaction to be found in working with teammates in some vigorous sport or in joining classmates in cheering the team on. In 1974 Quincy entered a new association of schools, the Big Eight Interscholastic Associ- ation, composed of Athens, Concord, Homer, Jonesville, Reading, Springport, Union City, and Quincy. This conference has been formed for the purpose of fostering interscho- lastic activities between member schools. Each year trophies are given to the schools win- ning championships in each sport and an all-sports trophy is also presented. Any boy or girl trying for a place on a team should be willing to give his or her best at all times. It is understood that when a student presents himself as a candidate for one of the school teams he accepts full responsibility to conduct himself at all times as a sportsman and a true representative of Quincy High School. The Quincy Athletic Board in accordance with the Michigan High School Athletic Associ- ation sets up and interprets all eligibility rules for high school students. Our school must conform to these rules at all times or we may lose the privilege of competing with other high schools. The state eligibility rules will always be posted in the school building.
