CLASS HISTORY y The fall of 1943 brought a new group of eager freshmen to the threshold of Quincy high. They started their first year off by sleeting Grace Maunder as their president and Bill Hartley as their commissioner. They pdfe on a successful freshman return as their first big activity. We started our Sophomore year with Joan Tennant as president, Audrey Belmont, vice president, Grace Maunder, secretary, Mardell Harvey, treasurer, and Bill Hartley our commissioner. The Sophomore Class was very active in school during '44-'45t Many of the Sophomore boys played on the basketball teams during the season; George Yeager was captain of the B team. The Sophomore Hop on November 17th, 1945 took place in the Music Room, which was decorated to resemble a Night Club. It was decorated in black and white crepe paper with pin-up girls, made by Joan Tennant, hung around the walls. Three Sophomore students, Joan Tennant, Bill Hartley and Jim Mullins were in the school play. The Sophomore class felt that by being represented in so many social functions and sports they concluded a very successful year. The class of '47 started off the Junior year with twenty-three students. Our officers were: Bill Hartley, president; George Yeager, vice-president; Margaret DuPont, secretary-treasurer; Shirley Hagen and Jim ELlwood, commissioners. To raise money for the Prom we sold hot dogs and cokes during lunch hours, apple cider at the softball games, and cokes and hot dogs at the basketball games. Members of the class took active parts in practically every school activity. The girls' basketball team won the school championship. Junior boys who played on the varsity basketball teams were Charles Boone, Dave McCrillis, George Yeager, Jim Ellwood, Vaughn Nugent, and Donivan Wilson. Kirk Clements was the manager of the A team. Members of the class also played on the softball and baseball teams. After three successful years the fourth and last year for the class of 47 loomed on the horizen. This was even a better and bigger year than the other three. To start the ball rolling Carter Hjelte was elected president, Lorrin Ferdinand, vice-president, and Joan Tennant, secretary-treasurer. Dorothy Macamara was elected the commissioner but she left at the semester and was replaced by Peggy Carlson. For their advisor the Class of 47 chose Mr. Tharp. The first item on the list of 2 % CLASS HISTORY activities was the Freshman reception. Then, to make some money, we started giving noon dances every Wednesday. Pom poms, made by the senior class, appeared at all of the football games. On May 17 the big event, the senior ball, came off with big success. In sports the class of 47'' was well represented. Football was played for the first time in Quincy and on our championship team we found George Yeager, Lorrin Ferdinand, Dave HcCrillis, and Jim Ellwood. Playing on the A basketball team was Vaughn Nugent, George Yeager, Jim Ellwood, Lorrin Ferdinand, 'and Dave McCrillia. The girls too made a record for themselves. Not only did they win the school championship in basketball but they beat the all stars . Our class also had the honor of having the first football Queen, Pearl Huntington.

American youth must apply it to the fullest advantage of the country. Disgracefully enough, there are some who have no idea of what we fought for. How can we hope to preserve our ideals if we are uneducated? Many would gladly give their lives in battle, but at the peace table few would have the courage to stand before a group and give suggestions for universal peace. With the world becoming smal1er and more technical ever3r day it is even more advantageous that we take all educational opportunites offered to us. American youth has a tremendous task before it, and the decisions we make today will influence the world for decades. r V CLASS � Name Called By Word Charles Boone Charlie Dad Guramit Ellen Brown Brownie I didn t do it Peggy Carlson Peg Well do de do Kirk Clements Kirk I fm hungry Margret DuPont Maggie Hoochie Robert Eden Eden Oh Mr. BehmJ James Ellwood Jim (Censored) Lorin Ferdinand Skip Hello rub dub Shirley Hagen Hag You should talk Billy Hartley Poopsie Ifve been stabbed 1 Dolores Herbst Mickey My acking back Joe Herbst Jody By golly Carter Hjelte Cart Huh?

We have been under the leadership of Gene Wright, I President.; Mary Gossett, Vice-President; Nancy Stapley, Secretary; and Joy Delano as representative to the student council. Initiation was the first big event of the year for us. The girls felt rather silly dressed in pa.james, and the boys were dressed in dresses. The Freshman Reception given by the Seniors was really quite an event for us. Soon after that came the Freshman-Sophomore Brawl. V.e were victorious. Our class put on a one-act play under the direction of LIr.Batha. We gave it for the Student Body on April 15. Those in it were Anita Jo Hutchinson, Dean Risor, Joy Delano, Helen Morrow, Jim Dial, Barbara Hutchinson, and Nancy Stanley. Vie were very proud of Barbara Hutchinson, Lloyd Jones and Wilma Lounkes who are members of the C.S.F. Wilma and Lloyd hold the offices of secretary and treasurer. Many of our Freshman boys participated in football, basketball and baseball. Frank Martiniz, Dean Risor, Gene Wright, Lllsworth Stites, and Bob Pence were in either one or in all these sports.

Class officers for the year were Loren Lawson, president; Jackie Ferdinand, vice-president; Meredith Pruitt, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Erbeck was chosen to counsel the class in its activities. During the year, two parties v.ere given by the students of the eighth grade class. The first party was given as a welcome to the seventh grade class, the latest arrivals of Quincy High School. The party was very well planned and was enjoyed very much by the guests. Another party was given by the class as a going away party for Delores Garrison, who left Quincy High to take up residence in Stockton. Under the advice of Mr. Erbeck, the members of the class were able to plan their activities very well and so next year's Freshman class looks very promising. V� SEVENTH GRADE At the beginning of the year, the seventh grade was found to be the largest class of Quincy High with an enrollment of fifty-one students. Class officers for the year were: Tommy Hogan, president; Billy Dennison, vice-president; June Anderscm, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Perkins and Mrs. Downes were the advisors until the second half of the year when Mr. Perkins left Quincy High and Miss Rourke took his place, as advisor. In return for the party that had been giver them by the eighth grade, members of the seventh grade gave a party for the eighth grade on May 9. It was a success and was enjoyed by all who attended. Several times during the year, the boys of the class brought about a rebellion by wearing girls's clothing to school. They greatly amused the other students, and it is surprising how much like girls some of the boys looked. Those of the class who were active members of the Junior High basketball team were: Sill Wright, Gilbert Krause, Charles Wilmouth, Manuel Martinez, Teddy Barlow, Dan Norton, and Glenn Hickman.

FOOTBALL The fall of 1946 found football dominating the athletic scene in Plumas county for the first time in the history of the three county high schools. Quincy High School is proud of the fact that in its first year of competition it won five out of the six games, and tied for first place in the six man Plumas County League. In the first game of the season Quincy traveled to Westwood to play a non-league game. The Trojans were never in trouble and easily defeated the Lumberjacks to the tune of 36-6. The next Friday school was dismissed early in order that the students might see the Trojans in their first home game meet Greenville in the league opener for Quincy. The game was one of the highlights of the season. Greenville's passing attack put the Indians out in fro’-'t in the first minutes of the game, and it was not until the closing moments that the red shirted Trojans brought the Indians to defeat. The final score was 19-15. The third game of the season was played against Westwood, and although the V.estvood squad had improved since Quincy's first meeting, the Trojans experienced little dificulty in overcoming the visitors, 30-6 By drubbing Portola 24-0 the Trojans moved to the top of the league standings. In spite of the score, the game, which was played at Portola, was a hard fought battle, and Coach Tharp's boys were never able to rest on their laurels. The Quincymen traveled to Greenville for the next game. The Trojans showed great improvement over the first game played against the Indians. They successfully stopped Greenville's air attack while Greenville was unable to bottle up Quincy's hard hitting offense. The final score was 30-6 in the Trojkns favor. In the final game of the season, played before a large homecoming crowd at Quincy, Portola upset the undefeated Trojans in a low scoring game and moved into a first place tie with Quincy. The outcome of the game was never certain until the final whistle, but when the whistle blew the Tigers were on the top of a 6-0 score. 1st row: Skip Ferdinand, George Yeager, Carl Manmill, George Yeager, Ken Spear. 2ed row: Frank Martinez, Jim York, Bay Loftis, Bud redell, Tom McLain, Terry Cason. 3®d row: Don I rice, -an LcElroy, Dail Collins, Bill 1'oore, Louis 3rown, Ath row: Kr.

Once again the only team to bring a championship to the school was the Junior High D squad. However, the scores of the games played by the High School squads are no indication of the type of basketball that was actually played. From the improvement the players showed during the season, and their dogged determination in the face of overwhelning odds, we can forcast a successful season during the next year. The B team played the entire pre-Christmas season without a loss, arri in their second year of competition brought the second trophy to Quincy. The entire school in proud of its Junior champs. The players will prove to be assets to the high school teams in the future. C team competition was limited to boys in the Freshman class this year. Quincy's C squad was inexperienced but improved a great deal in the latter part of the season when theycame within a point of defeating Loyalton, and held Westwood to a four point victory. The B team ran in bad luck throughout the season. In 6pite of the drive showed by the players, the winning column seemed to elude their grasp. Except for two times. In two games packed with thrills Quincy upset Portola 25-22, and Greenville 38-24. The experience gained by the boys this year should bode well for the future. The Quincy A squad showed immeasurable improvement this year. They defeated Loyalton's A's twice by the scores 26-21 and 48-34. Both games showed excellent ball handling and basketball sense on the part of the Trojans. The breaks ran against Quincy in a game played against the Greenville Indians when the Trojans lost by one point. The final score of that game was 33-32. Judging by the type of basketball played by the Trojan teams this season, the league teams will have every reason to watch them next year. Coach Tharp and his boys are to be congratulated for the improvement the teams showed. 1st row: K. Spears, D. VcCriilis, L. Ferdinand, G. Yeager, V. N'ugent, J. York, G. I'ciHroy. 2nd row: Vr.

Z th Activities BAND The Band of Quincy High has been very active this year under the direction of Mr. Clarence R. Schott. The Beginners' Band was made up of students from the seventh, eight, and ninth grade.
