You won't realize this until you are in the final months of your senior year. Then you will want to make better grades. But for most of us it is too late. So study now, treat your teachers with respect, for after all, they are here for your good, not their own. Obey the school rules, for that's what makes school so much more fun. With everybody working together, much more is accomplished. With just a touch on the war situation. I know that you boys and maybe a few girls would like to get into the armed forces. But stay in school, your country will call you when she needs you. I know also that there is big money being made, in the shipyards, in the woods, and in many other jobs. In the past year 1 have been tempted as you have to leave school and go to work, but the place for us is right here in school. We should all try to get the most good out of our days in high school. So, I repeat, fellow students, stay in school and get the education we will need throughout our entire life. “Donald (?la. 6c STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT r't ON Clarke was elected president of the student body for the school year U of 1942-43.

In the fall of '42, the junior class cast its votes for the following officers President—Paul Whipple, Vice-President—Betty Roberts, Secretary-Treasurer —Margie Shuman, succeeded by lva Rae Miller, Sergeant-at-Arms—Robert McDonald. Mr. Page was their class advisor. Lois Heitman and Dan Collar were elected commissioners to the student council, where they took over the duties of treasurer and commissioner of social affairs respectively. Two out of the three yell leaders were junior girls—Jane Morrow and Louise Oels. In the middle of the year the class ordered their rings.

The Prom, Quincy High's annual highlight, was put on by the junior class, as a farewell party for the seniors. Due to the material shortage, the decorations were not as elaborate as in the past. The theme of the decorations for the prom was a French roof terrace. A picket fence surrounded the floor. A blue, star-studded sky covered the ceiling. The orchestra pit was in front of the stage. The whole class worked very hard on the prom and il turned out a success. Back Row, left to right —. R. K. Dunn, Charles Lacey, Don Collar, Kaley Erickson.

Zion, Lofe Harris, Eu gene Swanson, Eugene Huffman JN spite of the fact that they were only lower classmen, the Sophomores were very well represented in the school activities this year. At the first class meeting they elected their officers: Eugene Swanson, President, Mavis Braden, Vice-Prsident; Fausto Vardanega, Secretary and Treasurer; and Bob Cole, Sergeant-at-Arms. Bill Zion was chosen unanimously as commissioner. Miss Watts was class advisor until Miss Taverner left and she became G. A. A. advisor, whereupon Mrs Bleiberg took her place. Mavis Braden and Letitia Penman became cheerleaders and were as good as any in school. On January fourteenth the Sophomores presented their skit for the student body, the main feature being a play showing our idea of a typical election in Nazi Germany. It starred Dick Holbrook, the author, and was a great success. The play was supplemented by the presentation of two songs acted out while a chorus sang. Mavis Braden and Jack Martin showed how boy meets girl in I Met Her On Monday and Freelene Johnson and Bill Zion, with blackened faces presented I Want A Zoot Suit. The Sophomore Hop, which fell on February 19th this year, had as its theme an outdoor snowscene complete with white crepe paper snow, igloos, snowmen, and real sleds, skiis, ice-skates, and toboggans; one setting on a ' snow-bank made of benches. A Paul Jones, called by Mr. Sciutto livened the party and entertained the guests. Apple cider and doughnuts were served as refreshments, and everyone who was there said it was a very good party. Besides their class activities the Sophomores had as representatives for the Freshmen Reception, Bill Zion and Shirley Kelton, and five sophomores were in the school play. r 1T the beginning of the Freshman Year, class officers were elected. JJ Bobby Reed was elected president; Billy Lee was elected vice-president; Secretary, Mary Ann Carter; Treasurer, Elaine Mason; Representative to the Student Body Council, Herbert Winters; and class Advisor, Mr. Behm. Later in the year a skit was put on. It told what was happening in America since the War Started. First there was a skit on food rationing, the second was on gas and tire rationing. On November 5, the Freshman gave a Freshman Return Party for the Student Body. The decorations were based on Hallowe'en. Refreshments of cider and pumpkin pie were served. There were stunts which everybody had to do. Dancing was going on all through the party. There were Basketball games all through the year. The Freshman girls played Volley Ball and Basketball with all other classes of the school. The Freshman boys played Basketball several times with the Juniors and with the C team and once with mixed classes. There was a football game towards the middle of the year. The Seniors and Sophomores stood the Juniors and Freshman. The Junior and Freshman team won. The Freshman class is one of the largest in the school and has a good reputation. Every Freshman is trying his hardest to get good grades and do what he thinks best for himself and the school. 46 Front Row — Jim Bob Gosset Dean Lowson, Tom Eisenhuth. Second Row — Elaine Mason.

The first game was played at Quincy, with Greenville winning the A and C games In the A game the teams were evenly matched with Greenville winning by one point, 16-15. The score ol the C game was 22-10 in Greenville's favor. The B game was won by Quincy with a score of 11-8. The second game with Greenville was played on Frnday night, January 22. Transportation was furnished by the players who met in front of the Court House in order to pick up other players. The C game was a thrilling game with three overtimes, in order to break the tie. Greenville finally won the game, however, by a score of 15-13. The line-up for Quincy Cs were Oels, Whipple at forwards; Young, Center, and Russell and Ramelli at guards. These five players played the whole game andov ertime without a substitute relieving them. The B game was very exciting and fast with Greenville taking the game 14-12. Because some players had not yet arrived the B game was played last. The A game was the fastest game of the evening. Quincy was in the lead at the half by 20 points or more. McDonald starred for the A s with 18 points to his credit. The final score was 37-24 in Quincy's favor.

For several years the G.A.A. has gone to other schools to participate in the only social event with other schools. It would have been Portola's and Greenville's time to come to Quincy this year, but due to the war it was impossible for them to come. The G.A.A. put on their annual dance this year. They decided to have a Sadie Hawkins Day the day of the Party. It was the first one during the entire history of Quincy High. Some of the girls dressed up like Daisy Mae. $■ $.

However, Quincy students managed to get enough cars to take the players to Greenville on October 16, 1942. Two games were played in the afternoon with a fifteen minute rest between the games. The line-up for our side goes as follows: pitcher, Donald Clark and Bill Zion; catcher, Dan Collar; first-base, Buddy Hedrick; second-base, Kaley Erickson; short-stop, Mike Hedrick; third-base, Vernon Robertson; center-field. Pick McClung; left-field, Robert Moon and Ray Coast; right-field, Jack Martin and Norman Herring. the first game started at 1:45 P. M. In the first inning Greenville had a five run lead on us. We did much better after we had settled down a little in the second inning. We got four runs that inning, whereas they only got two. In the fifth it was 9 to 6 in favor of Greenville. Quincy jumped ahead in the next two innings and made four more runs to Greenville's none. The final score was 9 to 11, Quincy's favor. The second game started at 4:45 P. M. and lasted until 6:00 P. M. Because of the two consecutive games the last game was cut short to five innings. In the first inning Greenville got four runs and Quincy got six. Greenville tied the score in the second inning. From then on they didn't make any runs, whereas Quincy made eight. The ending score was 14 to 6. Quincy got the cup and championship for baseball in Plumas County. rVJE to the war and transportation difficulties the only boxing at Q. H. S. U this year was the program sponsored by the Block Q organization A large crowd attended the matches and they were a tremendous success. Everybody who attended seemed to enjoy himself, and the applauding blended with the grunts and groans of the fighters made it an exciting evening all around. The ring, which was the hardest part of all to rig up, was put up by Jimmy Kelton and Joe Vieira with the able help of others. The lighting facilities were better this year than last as the spotlights were mounted on the ceiling beams and focused on the ring. In that way the glare didn't hurt anybody, and all could see well. The ring was made up of the usual ropes and posts, but on the floor of the gym under the canvas, dry sawdust was packed. This was to prevent possible injury to the fighters. Small, silver boxing gloves were presented to the fighters by the Block Q. The boys paid in sweat, blood, and teeth for the gloves, and the Block Q. paid in money.

Because of this the members with their director, Mr. Schott, worked very hard to make it a success. During the year the number of students in the band decreased to 37. The band played for several basketball games and at a concert given by the two bands from Quincy and Greenville High Schools. The band also played at the public school week program. Due to the war the band did not go to Chico on its annual trip thist year. Toward the end of the year a dance orchestra was organized in order to have a good start the next year. It is hoped that the orchestra will be par of the program at the beginning of school. There is also the beginning band, many members of which after a year's training will be in the advanced band.

When Ethel comes home from Chicago she brings home v. Ln her a friend she made while there. His name is Roger Shields (Jae Edwards). Shields wants Ethel for himself and tries to get her by fair means or foul. Mrs Simmons (Wanda Peckinpah) likes Shields because he is a man of the world and has traveled a lot. As Ethel puts it, He has sown his wild oats. She doesn t like Chet because he is very sloppy and has never done much traveling and has never had any affairs. Simmons gets a picture of Letty Lythe (Jean Potter) and writes a note on the back of it that is supposed to be from Letty to Chet. The trouble starts when Letty Lythe makes a personal appearance in Sandusky. By this time The Whole Town's Talking” about Chet s affair with Letty. By a mistake Letty's fiance, Donald Swift (Danny Collar), hears about it and wants to beat Chet up because Swift doesn t know about the affair. Shields and Swift are good friends, and Shields tries to get Swift to beat Chet up. In the battle that ensues Shields and Swift are both beaten up and Chet gets Ethel.

Entertainment was provided by the freshmen, who performed for the upper classmen. The audience was also honored with a dance done by Lela Lee Dutton. FROSH RETURN On November 13, the freshmen sponsored the Freshmen Return, given for the upper classmen. As the date of the party came between two holidays, one half of the gym was decorated for Hallowe'en and the other haif for Thanksgiving.

White crepe paper streamers cut off the corners of the gym. SENIOR BANQUET The Senior Banquet was held on Saturday, December 12. Only the seniors were invited to the turkey dinner that was given.

Music was provided by the phonograph. JUNIOR PROM A French roof terrace was the theme of the Junior Prom. The date was May 1st. The ceiling of the gym was covered with blue paper, sprinkled with stars, giving the appearance of the sky. The tables were cut off from the dance floor by small white picket fences.

The main attraction of the evening was Betty Rose Epperson who played several folk dances on her accordian. f'iFTER try-outs for yell leaders by various students before the student Jj body, Jane Morrow, Louise Oels, and Lois Grow were chosen by the board of commissioners. Two of the yell leaders, Jane and Louise, wore white skirts and red sweaters, on which were mounted their letters. This contrasted beautifully with Lois in the center and Jane and Louise on the ends. The only game of the season, Greenville vs. Quincy, was attended by most of the students and the yelling was splendid. This year there were also yell leaders for each class. The senior yell leaders were Lois Grow, Jackie Pierce, and Bob Moon; Junior leaders: Louise Oels and Jane Morrow, Sophomore leaders: Letitia Penman and Mavis Braden; and the Freshmen leaders were Bonnie Lee Barnhill and Mary Ann Carter. These yell leaders led their classes, sections, and entire student body in competitive yelling at one of the Q. H. S. student body meetings. The yell leaders this year are among the best ever witnessed in Q. H. S. They have joyously performed their duties and have led the students at ail of the student activities.
