Senior class meetings are whenever possible, which is often. Announcements and the question of what to wear is the main topic at meetings and the highlight of every occasional conversation e Junior-Senior Prom. April 15th. turns out in a most formal and favorable fashion.

CLASS OF '39 freshmen and sophomores except that they have a reputation for being ’prize-snobs and continual bores. A year of hard work is ahead and under the directorship of class president, Roy Winsell, they progress very efficiently. Much time and effort are applied to plans for the Junior Prom, which has always been the worry of every junior class. As in previous years, however, it proves to be a successful affair. With the duty of ushering for baccalaureate and graduation, and decoration for the latter, a most enjoyable and profitable year is brought to a close. SENIOR • The scared” froshies of ’36. the snobby sophs of '37, and the dignified juniors of '38, are now established into one group forming the Senior Class of '39.

CLASS OF ’4 0 The junior class is proud in completing its third year oi high school work at Quincy. Under the careful supervision of principal, Mr. Hyames, and our faculty, we have obtained thus far a beginning of the knowledge needed in life's work. We began our high school studies in the fall of 1936. As freshmen, we were shy at first, but soon realizing the advantages of this higher institution we slrove to learn. The class this year consists of tv enty-five pupils, headed by the following officers: Gareth Ford, president; Leonard Rowell, vice president; Evelyn Mise-mer, secretary; Gail Sigford, treasurer. Mr. Washburn was our helpful adviser who worked and planned with us on important junior activities. Our big social event of the year was the annual Junior-Senior Prom, made festive with the night club theme and the music of the Greenville orchestra. Pauline Fletcher, senior, was announced as the school's choice for Queen and the honored guest of the evening. The school year would not be complete without this senior farewell party. ’4 1 When the class of '41 began our first year at Quincy High we were nervous one minute and excited the next. Very soon after this, we found ourselves participating in the school affairs and making our presence felt. Then before we realized what had happened school was closed for the summer vacation. When we returned for our sophomore year all fagged out, we looked forward with enthusiasm to a year full of fun. Our expectations were not set a bit too high. Old friendships were renewed and many new ones made. A few of the students transferred and students from other schools were welcomed. Officers for the year were president, Charles Shaw; vice president, Bob Smith; secretary; Mary Blaesing; treasurer, Wilmer Chapman; adviser, Miss Margaret Taverner. Very shortly, or so it seemed to us, school was closed for Christmas vacation. Upon returning, the class party, with winter as its theme, was given. The days seemed to pass more and more swiftly, leaving us wondering if our next year will be as pleasant and happy as the two past ones. ’4 2 As the freshman class, we entered Quincy High School on August 22, 1938, one of the largest classes on record. Accounting for those who have come and gone there have been fifty-two students in our class this term. Under the able sponsorship of Miss Watts and headed by president, Elwyn Whipple; vice president, Austin Erwin, Secretary, Betty Brown; and treasurer, Fred Batchelor, the class spent an enjoyable year. The freshman return party, given to the student body in return for the freshman reception was the class contribution to Q. H. S. social affairs.
