st: converting date format

I have a dataset with data entered by quarter from 1947 to 2012. The following date variable indicates the dates of each observation (month/day/year).
01/01/1947
04/01/1947
07/01/1947
...
...
01/01/2012
04/01/2012
07/01/2012
10/01/2012
I would like to convert the dates to quarters as follows:
1947q1
1947q2
1947q3
Etc.
Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated.
Darrell Bosch
