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.

'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.

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.
