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.
