HE IS THE VETO POWER OF Q.H.S MR. JAMES A. SHANKS, Supervising Principal: B.A., Arkansas College; B.S., M.S., Peabody College; Graduate Work, University of Florida. Anyone who has attended Quincy High in the last thirty-eight years will remem- ber Mr. Shanks. His devotion to Q.H.S. is easily recalled in the hearts of every- one. In any and every problem of a student Mr. Shanks takes a vital interest. Many young students don't appreciate this interest at first, but later on they see that it is really for their own good. In the minds of the students, their principal is thanked for his faithfulness, his help- ing hand and his assembly talks that last through fifth period. Yes, Mr. Shanks is truly a Southern gentleman! Even during Mr. Shanks' informal moments in the drug store he is talking to a student. Mr. Shanks holds a powwow with some juniors and seniors. 7
