Superintendent of Schools Mr. Royce D. McAlister STUDENT COUNCIL STAFF OF THE ARROW The Student Council was reorganized this year with Helen Anderson as presi- dent, Stanley Zera as vice-president and Viola Czerpak as secretary. Each room elected one representative, with the exception of the seniors, who had three. A revised con¬ stitution was adopted. The Student Council activities have consisted of preparing a program for home room discussions and for noon-hour activities. Games were purchased and dancing was provided for the noon-hour activity plan The Student Council helps to make Suffield High a pleasant place to be and a well organized school. The yearbook staff started early this year and worked hard, with Richard Loomis as chairman. Dewey Nelson distin¬ guished himself as advertising manager, while Helen Grabowski handled capably the heavy task of keeping the records straight. Bede Belfit took charge of the Candid Camera contest, and Betty Campbell of the class balloting. Laura Lyman, Stephanie Kussick and Harry Reed drew the cartoons and Ruth McComb and Kathryn Morell did the lettering. The choice of this committee was justified by the way in which it got the cooperation of the other members of the class, and, we hope you will agree, by the results achieved. if « Mr. Glenn Aiken, B.S., M.S.

This statement is proved, more or less, Bednaz as its captain, and the White team, (back row) with Bede Belfit as its captain. The Blues won the first game, which was played on Jan ' uary 10, score 15 to 9, and the Whites won the second game, on February 21, score by the fact that in winning seven games and losing ten, Suffield outscored its op ponents by 505 478. Six of the ten games lost were lost by the margin of six or less points. Suffield relied upon several boys this year who will be missing when the call to arms is given next fall. 15 to 17, so a play-off was played on March 20; the score was 23 to 19, in favor of the Blue team. Offensively, this year ' s team had its brilliant nights. The team did, however, lack drive in the last period of several games. William Duni was elected honorary captain of Suffield High ' s ' 40 ' 41 basketball team.

DRAMATIC CLUB DEBATING CLUB The Dramatic Club got of! to Late in the Fall a small group of students expressed a desire a fairly good start late in the fall. to organize a debating club. William Griffin was elected After formulating a constitution president and electing officers, Bede Belfit as „ . . ... ........ president, Betty Campbell as secretary ' For experience in public speaking the debating club treasurer, Laurence Clark as business man ' arranged and put on a Lincoln s Birthday assembly ager, immediate plans were made for the pro ' for the school.

No production was presented experience, perhaps another year will this year, but it is sincerely hoped that the 1941 ' ’42 sea ' find us on the platform in regular son will find us a great deal more active. inter ' school debates. READER’S REFLECTION This year’s staff with Helen Anderson as Editordn ' chief and Helen Grabowski as Associate Editor has worked hard, and has evidence of its work in these facts: the magazine has been published monthly instead of every two months; circulation has doubled; the average number of pages has been ten more than last year; the number of students actively participate ing in the work has doubled; our magazine received a third ' place rating in the national contest of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Below you will see some of the staff in action. DANCING CLUB This year Suffield High School students have shown high interest in social dancing. Two series of dancing lessons were given, making a total of approximately 175 students who have received instruction in ballroom dancing. The Dancing Club has been organized not only to teach the members how to dance, but also to enable them to acquire social poise, confidence, and the proper ballroom etiquette. KNITTING CLUB Twenty-five girls started in November to knit articles for the Red Cross. By March many squares, socks, beanies, and sweaters had been knitted and turned in to the Suffield chapter. Although with the coming of warm weather and the attraction of games and dancing at lunch ' time the group grew smaller, the club had accomplished its two aims: to teach the girls a useful craft and to serve the Red Cross. i mu ' CL Ml Let us now turn our thoughts back to the memorable year of 1937 ' 38. It was then that we entered our first year of high school as fickle, footloose freshmen. Some of us took vocational courses in the Junior High School while others followed the academic course of study in the Suffield Academy. There were also some of us who labored hard in the Agawam High School or in the Enfield High School. The class at the Junior High School had Ida Hinckley as its president and Helen Pysz as its secretary. At the beginning of the year the class went to Hartford on an educational tour of the First National Warehouse and the Bryant and Chapman Milk Company. Later on there was a Christmas Party. The final social events centered about gradua ' tion. There was a graduation party at Babb ' s Lake. At the graduation exercises Julia Bednaz, Helen Grabowski, and Helen Pysz each presented an original essay on “Vocations. ' ' Scholarship prizes were awarded to Julia Bednaz, George Matuck, Helen Pysz, Stephanie Kussick, and Cornelius Yasaitis. During the freshman year at the Academy several students took part in the Latin Club. Many of the girls belonged to the Lambda Chi. Beatrice Belfit showed her dramatic ability in the play “Ninth Guest ' ' . Beatrice Belfit was also the president of the fresh ' man class. Then came the autumn of 1938. Although a few of us were still going to high schools in Agawam or Enfield, the majority of us were enrolled as sophomores in the Suffield Academy. Here the girls ' Lambda Chi continued. Beatrice Belfit acted in “Good ' night Please , and Evelyn Edmonds in “You Can ' t Take It With You. October 2, 1939, the unforgettable day that left such a vivid imprint upon our minds! As juniors we were entering a new school, seeing new faces, and looking upon new opportunities. The Suffield High School was ours to do what we would with it. It didn ' t take us long to get acquainted and to organize our class. We chose en ' thusiastic and efficient leaders. Our presi ' dent was Charles Gardner; our vice presi ' dent, William Duni; our secretary, Helen Grabowski; and our treasurer, Thomas O ' Brien. As a school organization, the Student Council was formed with delegates from each class. James Hierl was the vice ' presi ' dent. Before long a large number of clubs were molded into fine and useful forms. Among the distinguished ones were the Dramatic Club, the boys ' HiY Club, the Newspaper Club, and the Swing Club. “The Frontier was the product of the Newspaper Club. Although most of the newspaper staff consisted of the admired seniors, such honorable positions as Business Manager and Sports Editor were held by Charles Gardner and Richard Loomis. On May 24, 1940, the Junior Prom was held. Julia Bednaz was chosen as May Queen. Her attendants were Beatrice Belfit, Betty Campbell, Sophie Gonczewski, Helen Grabowski, Pauline Matyskiela, and Erma Sandman. In May we received our class rings, which had been chosen and ordered previously. To terminate our social happenings as juniors we had a picnic at Babb ' s Lake in June. It seemed only a few weeks before we were back in school again—but—this time everything seemed quite queer. Whatever made those poor lower classmen act so silly? Surely, we never acted that way! Not quite understanding them, we went about our business as stately, dignified seniors should do. First of all we elected our class officers. They were Charles Gardner, president; Ida Hinckley, vice president; George Matuck, treasurer; and Helen Pysz, secre ' tary. By November the Newspaper Club was fully reorganized and had published its first edition in the new school year. This year the newspaper grew up into a magazine. The new title chosen for it was “Reader ' s Reflection . Helen Anderson was elected Editordn ' chief. There were many able seniors on the staff. The Student Council members were elected from each of the homerooms and clubs. They had meetings regularly in the Conference Room. Helen Anderson was elected president. On December 19, 1940, we celebrated the forthcoming Christmas holiday with a Christmas party in the cafeteria of our be ' loved school. The senior girls, a group of clever whimsi ' cal females, put on a unique stag dance on February 15, 1941. The senior prom on June 21, 1941, will close this chapter in the history of the illus ' trious class of 1941. MAY QUEEN, 1940 High light of the Junior Prom was the choice by a committee of faculty members of the May Queen. The judges chose Julia Bednaz as the queen, but decided that there were so many beau- tiful girls present that the queen should have some attendants. The attendants shown in the picture are Beatrice Belfit, Betty Campbell, Sophie Gone ' zewski, Helen Grabowski, Pauline Matyskiela, and Erma Sandman. WILL CLL Friends, Teachers, and Schoolmates! You are gathered here today for the ex¬ press purpose of listening to the last Will and Testamen t of the eminent Class of 1941, and to receive from its munificent store those priceless possessions and benefits for which it no longer has need. We, the one and only Class of 1941 of Suffield High, Suffield, Connecticut, con¬ sidering ourselves to be on the brink of the great unknown, do hereby publish our first and last ‘ Will and Testament” and do hereby declare null and void any promises made previously by us. Having paid in full our just debts to all those creditors who have been able to catch us, we do hereby parcel out the remainder of our vast and impressive estate as follows with the hope that the bequests will be ac¬ cepted in the same spirit of kindness and good grace that they are given. FIRST: We do hereby request that mortu¬ ary services be conducted by our be¬ loved principal, Mr. Sisson, and our never-to-be-forgotten faculty with the solemnity and seriousness that were characteristic of the Class of 1941 dur¬ ing our brief stay at Suffield High. SECOND: We do hereby give and be¬ queath as follows: Item: We name as our executors the students of Miss Hinkleman’s Business Law Class because we feel that ex¬ perience will do them good. Item: To Mr. Zak we leave the promise that we will realize the dream of his much-needed rifle range when we amass our first millions. Item: To the Juniors we leave the unsurpassable honor of being called Seniors with the caution that it is an honor well worth achieving. We also leave them the work which is incurred in making preparation for the senior activities and finally for that day of all days—Commencement Day. It may involve a tremendous amount of work but there is a great deal of fun. To the staff of next year’s Year Book, we hereby bequeath the literary ability of the Class of 1941, which is so aptly displayed in our “Arrow.” Since we have been so kind and generous to the Junior Class, we leave the recommendation that they will be as unselfish as we in making their bequests to the Class of 1943 next June. Item: To the supposedly sophisticated sophomores who leave the “juvenile” world of the tenth grade, we leave the humbleness and solemnity that the present Class of 1941 possessed at the time. Item: Being selfish, we, the members of the class of 1941, present to our¬ selves the honor-rendering appellation of “Alumni” of Suffield High. Item: With sorrow and apprehension we leave dear old Suffield High with the realization that it is the best high school there is. Item: Finally— 1. To the Faculty we give a well- earned rest and opportunity to digest thoroughly all new methods of study¬ ing discovered by us. 2. To Mr. Davis, the biology and science teacher of Suffield High, re¬ nowned throughout the United States, Canada and his beloved state for his naturally wavy hair, we do hereby bequeath a sample bottle of Smith’s Stupendous Hair Straightener with the advice that he use it not on his hair but to attempt to uncurl some of the permanent waves in the fenders of his faithful car. 3.

To Miss Perry we leave English Classes composed of less garrulous and gum-chewing girls and gentlemen. 6. To Miss Crozier we leave a dra¬ matic club whose members live within one-half mile from school so when she desires to call a meeting they will come, or better still, when we make our first small fortune we will donate a Model T Ford for the great cause.

As the scene opens, the Recording Angel is seated in the center of the stage, his large black book open before him. He thumps the gavel: Order in the court! Members of the class of 1941, you are about to have an opportunity to hear a record of your days on earth. Unless objection is made immediately and proof offered that the records are false, they will stand approved as read. Helen Anderson, according to my records you continued your career in journalism, and by means of your editorial column led a crusade to rid society of pests. Julia Bednaz, you continued a career welbstarted in high school, by becoming a model for C. D. Birdie, world ' famous photographer. Beatrice Bclfit, you danced your way through life, but made your pastime profitable by opening a dance studio—six lessons from Madam La Zonga. Naomi Blumenthal, wipe that smile off your face! No? I should think you would be tired of smiling by now after working so long as a model for Ipana Tooth Paste advertisements. Viola Butchon, you started out as a secretary, but the boss couldn ' t keep his mind on his work with you in the office, so he decided to marry you, and get a homely secretary. Betty Campbell, you spent most of your days on earth as a gym teacher, showing others how to keep that perfect figure. The record doesn ' t say how you spent your evenings. Richard Carney, you were awarded a medal for outstanding achievement in the agricultural field. You developed a new potato twice the size of the old ones. Dorothy Damon, you became a teacher after graduation from college. Your sense of humor and your efficiency in planning your work kept you saner than most teachers. William Duni, you returned to Suffield High School to help coach the basketball and baseball teams. As assistant coach, you insisted on strict training rules, including long hours of sleep. Evelyn Edmonds, why did you give up a promising career as a singer? Oh yes, the record says that you spent your life helping children in the slums of New York. Constance Fahey, you became a secretary, but soon proved so efficient that you were sent to manage a branch of the firm in Ireland. Charles Gardner, you were arrested for taking Candid Camera shots near Windsor Locks Air Base, but were released when the pictures were found to be only of pretty girls. It wasn ' t long before you were working as a mechanic at the airbase. Then you became chief mechanic. Helen Grabowski, you had a varied business career, including secretarial work, ad ' vertising, and library work, but finally you were sent for by Fox ' s PhotO ' Reflex Studio to manage their work in connection with high school year books. Robert Greer, you managed the Greer Transportation business, making a specialty of conducting tours around Suffield to show the many tourists the points of historic interest. Alice Harris, as athletic instructor you helped many children to develop firm, strong bodies. You later married a doctor and the two of you kept people in your town healthy and contented. Irma Hastings, you did well as an actress in silent movies and later gave up this career to become a journalist in the field of manners and morals. Sadie Hastings, you were a nurse in the West Suffield Hospital. Your work there was always very commendable until an undertaker took you for his wife. James Hierl, you did well as a poultry ' man. According to our records, your hens didn ' t lay many eggs until you hired a blonde lady to serenade them. 41 Ida Hinckley, you spent most of your life as a dressmaker and designer. You were so successful at it that the honor of designing the graduation robes for the class of 1951 was bestowed upon you. Anne Klimaszewski, your life was devoted to the definition of crime. As a G-Woman you were “tops . However, you never solved the mystery of who robbed the bank in your home town. Stephanie Kussick, you were business manager of the Court of Missing Heirs for five years. The rest of your life was devoted to welfare work. There is a town near Hickory, Massachusetts which has been named Kussickville because of its spotless, calm, happy residents. Stanley Link, you are here at this time because of the occupation that you undertook for your career—that of cleanliness as janitor in the Suffield High School. Richard Loomis, your boybood dreams of being a flier came true recently when you were given the wings on which you have flown to this kingdom. Evelyn Lougee, you were never contented in Suffield for your heart was in Maine, so you motored back to Maine. After being there for a year you wrote the book “The Potatoes Grow Bigger Up Here . Edmond Los, although you did not choose a military career, that is what you got and soon you worked your way up in the ranks to a position where you could tell many people what to do—a position you no doubt enjoyed for other reasons than the salary. Laura Lyman, you spent your early life giving lessons in roller skating. You did well until you tried to skate over a certain “Romeo ' s heart. This ended your career. George Matuck, you chose a political career and ran for Governor of the state. We do not question your honesty since you showed much of that, and also patience, in collecting the class dues. Have you got them all yet? Ruth McComb, you had an interesting career. You were a guide to travelers in Brooklyn until one traveler decided that you could guide his life better than you guided tourists. Catherine McKinney, our records show that you spent your life looking for a job as a nurse. The human hospitals all refused you; the animal hospitals accepted you until the Humane Society barred you from service. However, you never gave up hope. Aloysius Minich, even after your high-school days were over you remained a noted woman-hater. Have you changed your mind yet? Kathryn Morell, you worked at the Suffield High School Infirmary, where the boys really didn ' t mind coming to have you treat them. Doris Morgan, you received many honors for your publication “What Happens Next . You also attained success after publishing your book “How To Make A Marriage Last . Tell us, why did yours dissolve so soon? Dewey Nelson, according to our records the monotony of your days on earth was overcome by your continuous experiments in the field of chemistry. Few have ever braved the paths you have trod in your field, and such bravery must not go unrewarded. Thomas O ' Brien, your early training in the art of driving led you to a white-collar job as chauffeur for Mr. Getmethere Safe. You did. Frank Orr, because everything you learned at school had to be proved to you, you chose a career as a lawyer. It was a good one but you should have confined your cases to those involving only men. Helen Pysz, after working in a furniture store for several years, you decided that a domestic life would please you more, so you became a cook. The only deaths from your cooking were caused by over-eating. Harry Reed, during your days on earth you chose a profession which you enjoyed to the utmost and your ability as a cartoonist for the Suffield Sentinel was unsurpassed. Lester Stiles, you went to work at Colt ' s factory, and soon made so much money that you were able to retire to the life of ease you had always wanted. Cornelius Yasaitis, why are you shaking? Have you a guilty conscience? You chose a career that was a necessity on earth and you did a good job as president of the “Boom Town Baby Bottle factory. 42 G.FOX CQ ESTABLISHED 1847 HARTFORD Go UiJle t ' IfouA. Public...
