(RANK M.HYAMES, PRINCIPAL Young friends, life is a great adventure, especially in a young Democracy rich in cultural and economic resources. In America you are given every opportunity to develop your powers and to achieve your aspirations. But you occupy a unique position in the world. Your fellows in other lands are suffering with hunger, hatred, sorrow, and death. The forces of political evil across the Atlantic and across the Pacific are seeking to destroy the culture and the civilization of the centuries. The challenge for young America is to save thw world by intelligent thought and cooperation. Lift high the American torch of justice and liberty for the guidance of a sinking world.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT... Appropriate in a democracy is a democratic form of self-government within the student body, operating independently of the faculty, though calling on the teachers for aid and supervision. Long an ideal in Quincy.High School, its fullest materialization was never as evident as in the year 19 .0-41. Ilodeled on the city plan of government, the two and a half year old system is modern in every way. It is the type employed by most high schools of the present day as being more suited to the needs of the student group. Commissioner government replaced the old form which called for an election of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Experience proved that these students held office in name only and there was no challenge to their powers of direction, for in truth there was nothing to direct. Nine representatives of all four classes now form an inner organization and hold in their hands the welfare of eight important departments. The studont body looks to them for the initiative and guidance, and they solve the problems of tho school. The whole plan operates under the legal authority of a constitution, drawn up by the students in 1938-39. In its articles, which may be amended at any time, arc set down all rights and powers of the students.
