OUR CLASS FOUR YEARS AGO In September of 1944, the usual group of awkward, frightened freshmen entered the portals of ye ol ’ Quincy High School. (You can see for yourself just how awkward and frightened we were by referring to the above print.) We were tagged the Class of ’48 and were pushed into a sea of wonders and studies. At our first class meeting, we elected as our Advisor, Miss Chandler; President, Kathleen Mason; Secretary, Altalee Larison; Treasurer, Virginia Pierce; and Council Representative, Rita Blankenship. We were quite nicely ' entertained” at the Freshmen Reception and returned this honor by giving our Freshmen Return which had a patriotic theme. The outstanding athletes of our first year of high school were George McFlroy on the A team, and William Lewis on the B team. As knowing Sophomores, we elected Mr. Batha as Advisor; Mary Green, President; Don Camp, Vice-President; Kathleen Mason, Secretary-Treasurer; and Rita Blankenship, Council Representative. We presented our traditional ' Sophomore Hop” in December. It was held in the music room and was decorated in a Christmas motif. Outstanding athletes during our second year were George McF.lroy, Bill Lewis and Tom McLain on the A team; Jim York and Don Price on tbte B. team; Rex Beard and Wayne Miller on the C team. As wise Juniors, we elected Mary Green as President; Robert Whipple, Vice-President; Pat Bell as Secretary, Virginia Bailey as Treasurer; and Clara Moore as Council Representative. We also elected Mr. Schott as Class Advisor. Everyone in the class worked hard to raise money for our long-awaited Junior Prom. We sold hot dogs and cokes at football and basketball games, (kir Prom was held on April 12th and is remembered by all who attended it as an exceptionally wood one. This was Quincy High's first year of football and the Junior boys on the team were George McElroy, Don Camp, F.d Striegel, Jim York, Jim Shaw, Kenneth Spears, and Tom McLain. Roktrt Whipple, Don Camp and Cecil Bates played on the B basketball team. Jim York, George McElroy and Tom McLain played on the A basketball team. At last, as high and mighty Seniors, we elected Bud Bedell as President; Don Camp, Vice-President; Edith Catchot, Treasurer; Barbara Wentzell, Secretary; Virginia Bailey, Council Representative; and Mr. Nichol, Class Advisor. We gave the fresnmen excellent entertainment” at our Freshmen Reception. This year was indeed a busy one with everyone ordering Senior pictures, announcements, caps and gowns and paying for them. Our Senior Ball was held on M.y 7 th with the theme of a Southern Plantation. The class worked exceptionally hard and their work was not in vain for the Senior Ball was indeed a memorable one. On Thursday evening, June 3rd, the annual graduation ceremonies took place. The Class of ’48, with 1A of the students who were in the original freshmen class of ’44, was once again launched into a sea, but this sea is more treacherous than the other one. This one is full of rough waters and undertows. It takes a good skipper with sharp eyes and keen wits to make port in a rough sea such as this one. So, ail hands on deck and Blon Voyage! 1M8 PINE Pag« 12
