DEDICATION Teacher of the Year ... successful gymnastics and cross country coach ... advisor on family issues ... former Suffield Recreation Commission chairperson ... Suffield Ambulance Volunteer ... a winner, achiever, and most importantly, a true friend. It is with fondness and gratitude that we, the senior class, dedicate the 1988 Sagitta to Mrs. Rebecca Gibson- Laemel. While she has won many honors and awards, it is her contributions to Suffield High School that distinguish this remarkable person. Her warmth radiates, making her a special friend to all who know her. Mrs. Gibson-Laemel ' s concern for others, shown through her roles as friend, teacher, and active leader for Project Care, are some of the wonderful attributes she brings to Suffield High School every day. Mrs. Gibson-Laemel ' s goal, as she has said, is to pass on some of my energy and knowledge and my appreciation of life to my students to realize their dreams and achieve their goals. She has achieved her goal and in the process has continued to enrich the lives of many people. She lives according to an important Olympic standard, striving to be the best I can be. With the positive influence of Mrs. Gibson-Laemel we, as seniors, have excelled in our endeavors as a class and as individuals. In a way, she has coached us to be prepared for life ' s triumphs and pitfalls, and, thanks to her, we are the best we can be.

APPRECIATION We, the Class of 1988, would like to express our deepest ap¬ preciation to our class advisors. Miss Joan Schramm and Mrs. Janice Potter. Miss Schramm has been totally devoted to helping our class perform as a winning team throughout our four years at Suffield High. Under her tu¬ telage, we took the Olympic gold for Spirit Night in our sophomore year. Mrs. Potter as¬ sisted her in junior and senior years as they coached us to vic¬ tory in other spirit contests and in copping the prize for the best S.H.S. candy drive. Mrs. Elizabeth Mavis willingly stepped in for Mrs. Potter during first semester of senior year, and ably helped us through a suc¬ cessful magazine drive and sem- iformal dance. To Mrs. Mavis we express our sincere appreciation and thanks for her very capable assistance. We will be forever grateful for the encouragement and guid¬ ance of our class advisors in helping us to soar to great heights and to achieve our many goals as Suffield High School ' s champion class. 3
