n e rcNicc ci ux miTccy ... ENTERING Quincy High School in August 1932, twenty-two freshmen pupils held their heads high. They intended to do their best and make a good mark in the history of the Quincy High. Our first year was under the guidance of Miss Gibson and our class officers were: President, Ralph Kerr; vice-president, Winnifred Schooler; secretary and treasurer, Wanda Gould. During our second year, which was more successful than the first, our officers were: Winnifred Schooler, president; Virginia Beard, vice-president; Mary Hall, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsor was Mr. Smith. Representing us in athletics, William Mclnturff, Dan Baldwin, and Dean Atkinson were on the B team. During our junior year we took up duties of upper-classmen. William Mclnturff was elected vice-president of the student body. Several members of our class were on the staffs of the Pine Breezes and the Pine. Our class was represented also in the school play, You're Telling Me, by Mary Hall, Theda Ball, and Winnifred Schooler. We have lost many of our students but have also gained many. This year our ranks were joined by Marcelle Toohig, Edna Eiszele, and Wrenn Seeber. We were represented in athletics by William Mclnturff, Dan Baldwin, and Dean Atkinson on the A basketball team. We gave the usual Junior-Senior Prom, which was a fine success, besides giving two other class parties. Miss Gibson was our class advisor for a second time. Our officers were: president, Theda Ball; vice-president, William Mclnturff; secretary and treasurer, Mary Hall. In this our last year we have attained the position to which all students look forward. William Mclnturff has been student-body president and Winnifred Schooler, secretary. We have given one senior party, which is our farewell to the students. We have again been represented on the A team by William Mclnturff, Dan Baldwin and Dean Atkinson. Silver basketballs were awarded to Dan Baldwin and William Mclnturff for two successive years on the A team. Due to unfortunate circumstances we could not give a Senior play, but we edited a very successful Christmas edition of the Pine Breezes. We have three new students this year, which raised our class to fourteen students. They are Elwood Ford, Ralph Rogers, and Louis Thomas. Now that we have reached commencement days we hope to profit in the outside world by our knowledge gained in Q. H. S. with the heb of our teachers. President.................Lauretta Harding Vice-President .................. Dan Baldwin Secretary and Treasurer . . . Mary Hall Advisor ........................... Mr. Gates

cu r ppcpuccy Dear Diary, June 24, 1956 I feel very fired this evening, as I was awakened at 4 A. M. by the bedlam of shrieking sirens of the riot squad. Jumping into my rocket knockabout, we arrived in the beautiful suburb of Quincy that I remembered as Keddie. Before a palatial residence I was amazed to find Wren Seeber emerging from the doorway amidst a deluge of pottery which were wafted by his irate but comely titian-haired wife. Dear Diary, June 25, 1956 Another local boy makes good! Read in the daily monarch, the Feather River Bulletin, of the success of Elwood Ford, who has discovered the long sought formula for the prevention of fallen arches. Also read an item about the heartrending plight of Winnifred Schooler who due to laryngitis will be unable to attend the weekly meeting of the soft-spoken voice culture class. Dear Diary, June 26, 1956 Enjoyed a wonderful repast at the Eat-more Grill on Park Avenue, enthusiastically owned by our own lissome svelte figured Lauretta Harding. Wound up my meandering in the old home town by visiting the Quincy School of Chiropody . I was delighted to renew the acquaintance of Marcelle Toohig, who lectures and demonstrates the art of keeping the feet beautiful. Dear Diary, June 27, 1956 Am back in New York. While returning home on the rocket I was very glad to find Louis Thomas, the only member of the class of 36 I missed in Quincy. Louis was laboriously drawing his daily cartoon adventures of Moon Eyed Annie. 93 6
