This year, 1942, boxing was taken up as a competitive sport between the high schools of Quincy and Greenville. Quincy also had its annuel Block Q Night. The boys who boxed received medals. It was announced, some time before the fights, that the fellows who were fighting for the second time were to receive silver medals for their efforts to put on a good show. Bronze medals were awarded to the boxers who were fighting for the first time. Due to some unforeseen difficulty, large bronze medals were given to all of the amateur fighters. Besides the regular Block Q night there were two competitive boxing exhibitions between Quincy and Greenville High Schools. The first bout was held at Quincy and ended up in a Quincy victory. Quincy boys next boxed in Greenville and this time were defeated by a large margin. The bouts were arranged by mail between Mr. Woelz and Mr. Poster, the coach from Greenville. A list of boys were sent over by Mr. Poster with a list of their weights. Coach Woelz then picked boys who were fairly equal to the Greenville boys in size and weight and sent the list to Greenville. All in all, boxing turned out to be a very successful sport this year. Block Q Night had a very large turn-out. Meeting another school wes very successful as it enabled all of the boys involved to develop a better sense of sportsmanship and physical agility.
