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.

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. $■ $.

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.
