A. 4 4 Senior Class History At the first meeting which the class of '45 had at Quincy High School, we elected Jim Spuehler as President; Bob Cole, Vice-President; Marion Bryan, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mr. Wilson as Class Advisor. Later in the year, Jim Spuehler was made representative on the Board of Commissioners. the class was an active one during this first year, having several members playing C basketball, on the foremost team of the year, and also some musicians far enough advanced to go into the school band. According to tradition, th© boys took on the task of white-washing the Q. To reciprocate the welcome given at the Freshman Reception, we entertained the Student Body at the first dance which we attempted. The Freshman Return, which made a favorable start for our class according to our social abilities. Only eight of the members of this class of thirty-two were in the graduating class. In a year, there were many changes in the class roll. As Sophomores, our officers were: President, Eugene Swanson; Vico-President. Mavis Braden; Secretary-Treasurer, Fausto Vardanega; Sergeant-at-Arms, Bob Cole. Miss Watts, later replaced by Mrs. Bleiberg. was our class advisor. Bill Zion was unanimously chosen for a commissioner. The yell leaders for inter-class competition were Mavis Braden and Letitia Penman. The Sophomore Hop. on February 19. 1943, took place in the gym, which was decorated to resemble a snow scene—complete with skiis. toboggans, ice skates, and other winter sports equipment. A new touch was added to this party by the dancing of that old favor-ie. the Paul Jones, called by Mr. Sciutto. Refreshments on that eventful evening consisted of apple cider and doughnuts. Setting an unusual record, five Sophomores appeared in the school play, The Whole Town's Talking. During our Junior year, the class was busier than ever with the Pine Breezos to publish, and that all-important dance, the Junior Prom, to present for the Seniors and the rest of the Student Body. Letitia Penman was the very charming queen of the event. With profit from hot dog and cake sales throughout the year, enough capital was collected to put on an elaborate Prom. The boys were preparing in shop for weeks ahead so that we could transform our gymnasium into the S.S. Ouincy in a day and a half. A stately ship sh? was. complete with oortholes. a ganaplamc and other typical decorations. The ba was a special attraction. wh«ro the barmaids sorvod cokes and pretzels. Carefully prepared hors-d'oeuvres, openfaced sandwiches, jello-fruit salad, and individual cakes were served on daintily arranged plates, with punch available at a punch bowl. Program dancing to the music of the Westwood High School Dance Orchestra was enjoyed by the hundred and fifty people who attended. Besides presenting the Seniors with a splendid Prom, the Juniors decorated the Community Church for the Baccalaureate service, and ushered at the Commencement exercises. The officers who led the class through this eventful year were Bill Zion, President; Fausto Vardanega, Vice-President; Shirley Kelton, Secretary-Treasurer; Bill Zion and Carvel El-worthy. Class Commissioners. Miss Bramble was the Class Advisor. The rings which were available when we ordered ours were not as attractive as those which former classes had bought, because of war conditions, but class rings were ordered and received favorably. This year's Senior class is the smallest to graduate from Quincy High School for a long time. The boy-girl ratio was also unusual, for at the time of graduation there were three boys and eleven girls. At the beginning of the year, there were five boys, but Lafe Harris was already a reserve in the Marine Corps, and Eugene May left school in the middle of the year to join the Merchant Marines. Carvel was sworn into the United States Naval Reserve before school was out. but he graduated with us. me lusi acuvny we was a very successful food sale which took place on April 14th. Through this enterprise, money was raised for the launching of plans for the Senior Ball. Being formal, the Ball was one of the most important dances of the year. It was given in true style, with formal bids and dance programs. The theme was an unusual one, and the whole dance was a credit to the class, certainly in keeping with the high standards already set by us. The commissioners from our class were Phillip Oels, Maxine Herring and Bill Zion. Each of the class officers—Bill Zion. President; Letitia Penman.Vice-President; Emeline Wilson. Secretary-Treasurer—did his part in making this last year in high school a memorable one for each member of the class of '45. Maxine Herring and Freelene Johnson, with the highest scholastic honors during their four years of high school r-wnted speeches at the tirr- which received high acclaim.

The class commissioners were Maxine Herring and Phillip Oels representing the Senior Class, Guy Coykendall and Jim Reeder as Junior Commissioners, Bill Hanley as Sophomore representative and Rita Blankenship for the Freshman Class. Mr. Reese, Vice-Principal of Quincy High, was the Council advisor. Maxine Herring, one of the most ambitious council members, was the chairman of the Reedor, Mr. Reese, Carvel Elworthy, Guy Council high school's participation in the Sixth War Loan Drive and the school made its $1,907.50 quota 100 per cent. Maxine also had charge of a successful War Chest Drive netting $33.00 from student contributions. A Christmas program sponsored by the Commissioners was held in the Music Room and a motion picture was shown. After the movies, gifts were given to the students by Santa Claus, enacted by Jim Reeder. The Commissioners also entertained the Student Body with a Valentine's dance held in the Music Room. Large and small hearts were hung across the ceiling. Card tables covered with hearts on which song titles were inscribed completed tricky decorations. FRONT ROW: Betty Moore, Rosemary Robertson, Elaine Mason, Dorothy Russell. Mary Lou Reid, Iris Sharp.

'46 The Juniors entered Q. H. S. this year with very high spirits. Their class contained some of the most popular students in school. Jim Taylor, a new student, was elected to the Student Body Council as Secretary-Treasurer, and Elaine Mason was elected as Vice-President. Their class representatives were Guy Coykendall and Jim Reeder, two active students, and their advisor was Mr. Nichol, a new teacher with new ideas, all of which proved very successful. Junior class officers were: President, Elaine Mason; Vice-President, Jim Taylor; Secretary-Treasurer, Keith Myers. These officers made ’44-'45 a very successful year. The class kept the old tradition of buying their class rings, which were chosen by class majority. They were styled in gold and black, without stones, because of war conditions. The Juniors presented us with a very beautiful Prom, one of the most elaborate ever given. The setting was in a beautiful flower garden. The chondeliers, which Mr. Nichol and the Junior Shop class boys made of broken mirrors, was beautiful and the studded lighting effects created an incomparably beautiful Prom. The Queen, Barbara Thomas, who was chosen by the vote of the entire Student Body, was presented with a gorgeous bouquet of fresh flowers. She was crowned by Jim Taylor. Vice-President, since the President was a girl. Delicious refreshments were served. Hot dog and cake sales were given throughout the year under the supervision of their class advisor. Mr. Nichol. as a means of raising money for the Prom. The Juniors also did a wonderful job in decorating the Community Church for the Senior Baccalaureate services. FRONT nOW: Ariradale Perry.

The Sophomore Class has been very active in school this year. Many of the Sophomore boys played on the basketball teams during the season; George Yeager was captain of the B Team. Pat Morrow was on the girls' basketball team, which won two out of the three games played. With Margaret DuPont as captain of the volley ball team, two out of the three games were also won. Armadale Perry was captain of the girls' baseball team. The Sophomore Hop held November 17th, was one of the high-lights of the school year. The dance was held in the Music Room, and used the Night Club theme. The room and tables foi four were beautifully decorated with black and white crepe paper, and pin-up girls, made by Joan Tennant were hung around the walls. A bar at one end of the room, where cold drinks were served, was very popular, and Pat Williams made an effective bartender. Bill Hayes provided the music and Mrs. W. C. King and Noreen Pence entertained with songs helping to make the evening an outstanding success. Three Sophomore students. Joan Tennant. Bill Hartley and Jim Mullins, were in the school play presented by the High School. The Sophomore class feels that by being represented in so many social functions and sports they have concluded a very successful year.

'49 The Freshman class, starting with the traditional wonder and meekness in their eyes, became an outstanding group in the latter part of the year. They elected as their Advisor, Miss Chandler. and their officers: President. Kathleen Mason: Secretary. Altalee Larison; Treasurer, Virginia Pierce. Their Council Representative was Rita Blankenship. The Freshmen began their social life with a successful Freshman Return. With a patriotic theme, they hung red, white and blue crepe paper streamers from the ceiling separating the tables, and served cupcakes and cokes to the numerous guests. Several of the Freshmen were prominent in the Band and others were advanced from Beginner's Band later in the year. George McEHroy, one of the class, made the A team, an unusual honor for a Freshman and William Lewis played a good game with the B team. With the very good start they have made in Quincy High, the Freshmen are expected to be a prominent and popular group in their years to come. The Play Cast Followng the precedent established by previous successful plays given by Quincy High's students. Annabel Takes A Tour. was one of the most important events of the year. Elaine Mason, starred as Annabel, a movie star, and Guy Coykendall, who played opposite her as Lanny Morgan, her press agent, played their parts very well. The supporting cast equalled their proficiency, and each member of the cast contributed to the effect of the entire production. Bill Hartley, as Howard Webb, the producer, did a very creditable job and Jim Mullins, a Viscount from England, amused everyone with his affected English accent. Rita Blankenship, a stage-struck manicurist, furnished the laughs. Bill Zion. Joan Tennant, Emeline Wilson, and Mary Lou Reid, took other small roles. Edward Delano contributed much as assistant producer, and Mr. Behm, producer, must be credited with an outstanding accomplishment. H. S. Band DIRECTOR MR.

Evelyn had been a student of Q. H. S. for two and a half years. Jerry had come to Quincy at the beginning of the year. During the basketball season, the band played for nearly all of the games. Before the tournament, the band paraded down in front of the court house and back to school, playing a few marches. During Public School Week, the band presented a concert consisting of six pieces: A Santa Cecilia—March; Londonderry Air; Songs My Mother Taught Me; Black Eyes; Schubert's Serenade; Sir Galahad Overture. One of the outstanding parties of the year was given by the band. The decoration theme was music. Gold painted notes hung from the ceiling of colored lights. Trumpet players, trombone players, drummer, clarinet players, and a piano player made of paper, decorated the walls all aound the dance floor. The Greenville Orchestra, and Q. H. S.'s Orchestra played alternately all evening. Seven of the band students graduate this year. This leaves a hole in the band which we hope will be satisfactorily filled next year.

Dance Orchestra Thanks to Mr. Schott. Q. H. S. had a good Dance Band this year. At the beginning of the year everyone had hla doubts, but after a few trying months the Dance Band began to take shape. The first dance which they played was one of our own school parties given by the Commissioners. They played an hour and a half; then Harry James. Glenn Miller. Tommy Dorsey, and other name bands took over for the rest of the evening. Their first out of town trip was to Greenville. where the Greenville and Quincy Dance Bands played alternately all evening. The Quincy Grammar School engaged them to play for one of their school parties. This was the first all evening job for the gang, and it was quite a task. The Dance Band, after a few weeks was engaged to play in Portola for their Sophomore Hop. This was one trip they will remember for a long time. Their drummer Bob Eden, had a hectic evening. They arrived in Pcrtola ready to play when Bob discovered his drumsticks were still in Quincy, or lost. After frantically searching for them, he finally got some from the Portola band, and the Dance Band began their evening's engagement. Immediately, a fuse blew and out went the lights, while Bobby knocked his bass drum off the stand. However they finally got started and completed a very successful night. On the 7th of April, the Band gave a dance, and the Greenville and Quincy Dance Bands were engaged to play alternately, but because of illness in the Greenville Dance Band. Quincy played most of the evening. The group was engaged a second time by Greenville for their Prom; this time the Dance Band went in formals and tuxedoes, and did a very creditable job. The last dance job of the year was the Portola Prom; again the group went formal. The members of the Dance Band enjoyed their playing more than any of their other activities, and feel well recompensed for the hours they and Mr. Schott struggled to become finally an enthusiastically received group.

Mary Ann Carter; Treasurer; Lajune Green; Commissioner, Letitia Penman. This year wc.s the most successful year for the G.A.A. They took part in the interclass games all year long, and gave one of the three top parties of the year. The motif of the party was Hallowe'en, including. of course, a cornfield on a spooky Hallowe'en. Cornstalks were stacked around the dance floor and amusing drawings of owls, witches, etc., covered the walls. A graveyard on the red velvet curtains covering the stage, and a haunted house in the background on the blue curtains covering the bleachers heightened the gruesome effect. In order to get to the dance floor, everyone was compelled to crawl through the Hall of Horrors.” with icy hands to shake, and crawly spiders going down necks, to say nothing of crawling on hands and knees through the long tunnel. The guests were entertained by a ghost story told by Freelene Johnson, two dances by local girls, and a reading by Erma Bemhisel. Everyone wore his oldest clothes, and throughout the dance sat on the floor, where they were served cider and sandwiches. All of the classes took part in the girls interclass basketball games. The Seniors won all their games. The Juniors beat the Freshmen and the Sophomores beat the Juniors and the Freshmen. In volley ball interclass games, the Juniors beat the Seniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. The Sophomores beat the Freshmen. The girls also participated in the Ping-pong and Badminton Tournaments. Freelene Johnson was the school champion in Ping-pong. The G. A. A. members are all quite pleased with their activities of the year and hope to go or. as one of the more important groups of Quincy High. Cheer Leaders Elaine Mason, Letitia Penman, and Dorothy Russell (L. to R.), the cheer leaders elected by Student Body vote, added a great deal to school sports this year. The girls turned out at every soccer and basketball game that Quincy played in, and also led a Tournament Parade through town on one of the coldest days of the year. Quincy students were well pleased with the results of their choice and hope they wili be able to replace Tisha in next year’s group. Sports . . . Having only one veteran, Bill Zion, from last year's A s ' Bob Reed, Leroy Swanson, and Phillip Oels came up from last year's B team, and along with Carvel Elworthy and three newcomers; George McElroy, Herb Stains, and Leonard McAndrows, made this a successful season for the A team. Because of the war there were only eight boys in the ’’A class; out of these the coach made a very good team. They worked hard all season and came out with a trophy for Quincy High. Th9 first game of the season was played in Portola. The A's were beaten by one point. Things looked dark for old Q.H.S. On the next Friday we lost to Lassen by a very wide margin. It looked as though we were going to have a bad season. Greenville beat Por-tola's A's, and when they came over to play on our home court they thought that they were going to take us. We won by one point, which was scored during an extra three minute period. On the 2nd of February, Portola journeyed to our hardwood. They beat the C s and 'B's. but we won the A game by three points. As the end of the season approached, Greenville and Quincy's A s were tied for the league lead. The last game of the season was to be played at Greenville. This was what we were waiting for; if we won we had the championship. The game started out fast. Quincy scored on the tip off. At the half Quincy was leading 15-11. In the last quarter Greenville got ahead of us one point. It looked as though they had the championship,, but in the last twenty seconds LeRoy Swanson dropped in a basket from the double line ending the game in our favor. The Tournament was played on Saturday, the 24th of February. Our A's drew a bye in the day's session by winning the championship from Greenville. Portola played Greenville arid lost giving us Greenville to play again. Greenville was trailing by a few points at the start of the fourth quarter, but they gained on us until they were just a few points behind us. They were gaining fast, but finally the gun went off. We had won—whew! again by one point! This made four games which we had won by only one point, three of them being from Greenville. The graduating Seniors receiving letters were: Corvel Elworthy. Phillip Oels. and Bill Zion. Also earning letters were: Bob Reed, LeRoy Swanson and Joe McElroy. SCORES Quincy 12 ............... Portola 13 A hard one to lose. Quincy 10 ................
