I think I ' ll take a peak inside, Class History. Hmm! I guess I’ll read further on. (FRESHMAN YEAR) PAGE 1: On September 25, 1950 we, the class of 1954, met in the cafeteria with our class advisors, Mrs. Fay and Mr. Zak, during homeroom period for election of our class officers who were as follows: President, Thomas Edmonds; Vice-President, Charles Waterman; Secretary, Connie Matys- kiela; and Treasurer, Mary Ann Golon. Freddie Fitch and Bruce Remington were elected as our Student Council rep¬ resentatives. Though we did not have a busy year, we did accomplish the goal of becoming united. (SOPHOMORE YEAR) PAGE 2: As sophomores we again started off the year with election of officers who were: President, Charles Water¬ man; Vice-President, Terry Chase; Secretary, Jennie Mar- kowski; and Treasurer, Sandra Noble. Jeannette Tallis and Terry Chase were our able Student Council representatives. Later in the year we selected our Class Ring Committee which began taking orders. In December we were proud owners of class rings. We ended the year with a successful food sale, the money being put toward our Senior Class trip to Washington. (JUNIOR YEAR) PAGES 3, 4 and 5 (This certainly was a busy year) : Entering the high school once more, this time as juniors, we began again by electing our class officers who were: President, Charles Waterman; Vice-President, Terry Chase; Secretary, Marianne Carney; and Treasurer, Sandra Noble. Our Student Council representatives were Shirley Colson and Terry Chase. A Ways and Means Committee was picked to make further plans for raising money; it consisted of Sandra Noble, Thelma Noble, Peggy Fetko, Carol Egan, Mary Ann Galetta, Frances Kokoszki, Marianne Carney, Charles Waterman, Terry Chase, and John Biggerstaff. On Saturday, October 11 we held our first successful food sale of the year. Sandra Noble was the chairman. As spring came, so came our one big project for the year, that of planning the Junior Prom. The Prom Com¬ mittee was chosen and consisted of Charles Waterman as chairman with the following assisting him: Frances Smie- gel, tickets; Jennie Markowski and Mary Ann Galetta, dec¬ orations; Thomas Edmonds, publicity; Marianne Carney, orchestra; Peggy Fetko, refreshments; and Terry Chase and Sandra Noble, photography. The Prom, called Dreamer’s Paradise,” was held on May 16 with Arny Morange and his orchestra providing the music. Peggy Fetko and Merwyn Spaulding were chosen King and Queen with Jennie Mar¬ kowski, Mary Ann Galetta, Shirley Colson, and Marianne Carney being selected as her attendants. Sandra Parks, Jeannette Tallis, Terry Chase and Thomas Edmonds were chosen to attend Laurel Girls’ State and Nutmeg Boys’ State held at the University of Connecticut the following summer. A committee was organized to make plans for selling fudge at the Senior’s Class Night. The Committee included: Carol Egan, Alice Hayden, Shirley Colson, and Jeannette Tallis, with Barbara Morris as chairman. As we realized that our senior year would be a busy one, we elected our yearbook staff in June. It consisted of: Editor, Jeannette Tallis; Business Manager, Barbara Morris; Circulation Manager, Tommy Edmonds; Advertising Mana¬ ger, Connie Matyskiela; Photography, Shirley Colson and Terry Chase. This ended our activities for our junior year and we eagerly awaited the arrival of our senior year. (SENIOR YEAR) PAGES 6, 7, 8, and 9 (My, our class did a lot in our senior year): In the fall of 1953 we were again back to¬ gether, this time as seniors, ready to begin the many endless tasks which lead to graduation. We started off the year right by electing our class officers who were the same as the pre- ceeding year: President, Charles Waterman; Vice-President, Terry Chase; Secretary, Marianne Carney; and Treasurer, Sandra Noble. Our two Student Council representatives were Sandra Noble and Terry Chase. Our next step as seniors, toward raising money for our senior class trip to Washington was the magazine campaign with Peggy Fetko and Thomas Edmonds acting as captains. Our chief aim was to top the amount sold by the previous class and that we did with much to spare. The three highest salesmen who received rewards were: John Biggerstaff, Robert Simmons, and Terry Chase respectively. As the year progressed the Senior Patrol was organized with Terry Chase selected as captain. The Patrol was made up of the following members: Jennie Markowski, John Biggerstaff, Terry Chase, Thomas Edmonds, Fred Fitch, Mary Ann Galetta, Alice Hayden, Fred Kotowski, Barbara Morris, Sandra Noble, Thelma Parks, Milton Powers, Bruce Remington, Charles Waterman, and Jeannette Tallis. The two alternates were Peggy Fetko and Marianne Carney. Our next money-making project was that of selling Christmas cards. This also helped toward pushing our bank account a little closer to our goal. We also sold birthday calendars. A new project that was undertaken by our class was that of a Dutch Maid Party. A committee was appointed by our president and it consisted of: Vivian Jackson, Carol Egan, Shirley Colson, Sandra Parks, Barbara Morris, and Lucille McBride. The climax of our high school years came when we made our most unforgetable trip to Washington, D. C. After this came our Banquet, Class Night, Graduation. Then our life as a busy senior ended, and we began taking our places in the busy world around us with our schooldays behind and our goals ahead of us. 19 Best Looking Most Athletic Happy-Go-Lucky Most Popular CLASS CLASS PESSIMIST — Robert Simmons, Frances Smiegel.

Let me see, first he said to rub it like this, and then repeat these magic w ' ords, Abba Cadabra Dee, show me what’s going to be.” Oh! I see a vision forming. Our first scene seems to resemble a classroom. In fact it looks like the classroom in which some of us spent many hours at least trying to solve the mysteries of chemistry. Standing at the front of the room, book in hand, is one of our classmates, CHARLES WATERMAN. This teacher’s name is sure to surprise some of you, but not those who were in the same chemistry class as he, for this young man has shown extensive knowledge in this field of study. We can’t help but wonder if everyone is as agreeable in class as he always was. As we continue our search of the future, we find that two more of our classmates have returned to teach at Suf- field. In the gym we catch a glimpse of THELMA NOBLE as she goes merrily on her way. We are not in the least surprised at this as Thelma always did enjoy sports of any kind. The other classmate who has taken up teaching as a means of livelihood is HARRY FORD, whom we find sedately sitting behind a desk droning on and on about how Columbus discovered America. He is completely unaware of the paper flying about the room or the laughter around him. At least he’s interested. As the scene changes, we all wait anxiously to view the next prophetic glimpse of what the future holds for us. The picture is simply a book. Printed on the cover we read these words: This World of Poetry by CONSTANCE MATYSKIELA; illustrated by ALICE G. HAYDEN. These words express far better than any picture the fate of these two members of our class. Our next scene is that of a small neat drugstore. We learn from a large sign above the counter that this store is owned by two of our more ambitious members. They are by name, PEGGY FETKO and FRANCES KOKOSZ- KI. Two of their most loyal and industrious employees are JACKIE FAHEY and BILLY EDWARDS. These two boys made a career of concocting new types of sundaes. We learn from a magazine on special display in this store that the editor of our yearbook, JEANNETTE TALLIS, is now the editor of a renowned and world wide famous magazine. Maybe all that work on the year book was not a waste of time after all. We now find ourselves walking down the corridors of a great hospital. Stopping to look at a bulletin board on which is shown the names of the nurses now on duty, we are not surprised to find printed there the names of two former classmates, MARY ANN GALETTA and DOLORES SMITH, who are chief assistants of DR. FRED FITCH. Having such a nice personality, we don’t imagine Freddy lacks female patients. As we leave the hospital, we hear faintly from the doc¬ tors’ lounge a record featuring that brilliant young piani st, TOM EDMONDS. Tommy’s playing has lightened the heart of many music lovers around the world. Tommy’s success has caused us to wonder if any other member of our class has made a career of music. On entering a small record shop, which is owned by ROBERT SIMMONS, we find that two of them have made an outstanding number of records. Vocalist VIVIAN JACKSON, accompanied by BARBARA MORRIS and her guitar, are well on the way to lasting fame in the world of music. On the way by the nearest news stand, the headline of the New York Times makes us pause. It seems that TERRY CHASE has made a name for himself as one of the leading dancing instructors in the country. His ability in this field apparently comes from his past achievements on the basket¬ ball court. Part credit for Terry’s making the headlines can be given to FRED KOTOWSKI, who is editor-in-chief of that paper. The front page story was written by that aspiring news reporter, JOE RUCIENSKI. These two brilliant young men both started at the bottom, behind the broom. Also on the news stand is this week’s issue of Look. Inside there is a two page spread featuring those Holly¬ wood models, JENNIE MARKOWSKI and RAVONNE FITCH. Jennie and Ravonne always did know how to wear their clothes to the best advantage. Next we take a trip to the country and visit MILTON POWER’S lumber mill. As we enter the office, we spot one of our old classmates, CAROL EGAN, who is now Milton’s private secretary. We find after taking time to chat with them, that Milton is hauling in money by the cartload and that Carol is raising a good sized family on the side. Returning to the city we stop a moment at a small flower shop, little dreaming that we would meet any of our old friends here, but no sooner do we step over the door¬ step than we recognize LOUISE ALDERMAN. We find that she is the owner of this quaint shop. From Louise we learn that for assistants she has hired LUCILLE McBRIDE as a maid, and JOHN BIGGERSTAFF as a gardener. Knowing John’s love for outdoor work, especially that of the farm, we feel that she couldn’t have made a better choice. She also tells us that Lucille, before coming to work for her, held a very good job in the firm of an exceedingly rich gentleman. The only catch was this — he was already married. Upon leaving we are told to stop at the first little cottage we come to. We find this cottage, and after ex¬ claiming over the beauty of the roses in the yard, we knock on the door and await the mistress of the household to open it for us. To our great surprise the door is opened by none other than SHIRLEY COLSON. We are asked to step in¬ side and enjoy a cup of tea and homemade cookies. We are forced to agree that maybe after all, marriage rates above a career. We learn from Shirley that MARIANNE CARNEY and SANDRA PARKS are much in demand as private secretaries. It seems that these two girls have broken all speed records as far as typing goes and many hearts as well. We are told that SANDRA NOBLE is teaching English Literature at the University of Connecticut. It seems that there is a record number of young men taking that subject this year. One of these young men has been taking exten¬ sive courses in colleges and universities all over the country. He is considered one of the best educated men in the country today. This young man is none other than our former classmate BRUCE REMINGTON. Here’s our last scene, the workroom of a famous dress designer, FRANCES SMIEGEL. Frances, who always said she would never marry until she is at least thirty years of age, now declares that she will never find time to marry at all. And there it goes. My crystal ball has lost its power for a while. Later on I’ll bring it out again, but in the meantime, I think I’ll just sit back and let these visions of the future of our classmates penetrate my mind. CLASS WILL To MR. MacALISTER and MR. SISSION we leave the school still in good condition and hope that hereafter every graduating class leaves it likewise. To MR. BROWN we leave the job of coaching anpther championship soccer team, which nevertheless, in our opinion, will never equal this year’s. To MR. ZAK and MRS.

STUDENT COUNCIL An all-important and highly-respected organiza¬ tion, the Student Council is an entirely student-run body with the guidance of our faculty advisor, Mrs. Morse. This organization has done a great deal for the improvement of Suffield High School. LAUREL GIRLS’ AND NUTMEG BOYS’ STATE Their classmates and the faculty select four juniors, two boys and two girls, each year who are best quali¬ fied to fulfill the honor which is conveyed upon them as delegates to Laurel Girls ' and Nutmeg Boys’ State at the University of Connecticut. The qualities upon which the choices are based are character, good citizen¬ ship, and leadership. The sponsors, American Legion, Suffield Women’s Club, Rotary Club, and American Legion Auxiliary enable these four students to partake in numerous activities for enjoyment and for a back¬ ground in government during their week’s stay at the University.
