It contains the infirmary which is fully equipped with materials essential to carry on the medical care needed by members of the Academy. The kitchen and dining room are located on the first floor of the North Building. In the basement is the memorial room which was built by the alumni and friends of the Academy in 1945. It is respected highly in that it is dedicated to the alumni and students of Suffield Academy who pledged to serve their country in the last two world wars. A plaque has been erected in the room containing all the names of those stu- dents and alumni that served in the armed forces. The room contains a pool table, atpiano, and several ping-pong tables to furnish the boys with recreation. The walls o the room are decorated with many pictures of previous Suffield athletic teams. On the second, third, and fourth floors of the building are the students apartments. The rooms are occupied for the most part by the underclassmen. However, there are a few seniors who wished to reside here, and were granted that permission. This year, the fourth floor of the North Building was completely remodeled, modernizing the rooms, and adding a new lavatory. The common room, which serves as a lounge for the students, and the headmaster's private office are also located in the building.

The Torch Society has been active as an organization at Suffield for twenty-one years, The duties of the Society are to lead the Academy in civic and social functions. Each member tries to help the Academy in every possible way. The purcpose of the Society is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the Academy and Community, high stan ards of Christian conduct. The Society's slogan is, Clean speech, clean scholarship, clean athletics, and clean living . The faculty advisor this year is Mr. Robert Sweeney, who was a member ofthe Society while a student at the Academy in 1937. Elections are held every fall for the officers and new candidates. This year, the following officers were elected: President, George Lees, Vice-president, Edward Fitzgibbonsg Secretary, John Barry, and Treasurer, Bob Bashevkin. Admission to the Society is secured by the democratic procedure of a majority vote of the old members. A candidate for membership into the Society is chosen for certain outstanding qualities. The Society en- deavored to elect to its membership from among the Academy students, those who wish to extend and main- tain good fellowship and school spirit. A formal candlelight service was held in the Baptist Church for the new members brought into the club. The organization is self-supporting making its income from the sale of Coca-Cola and finances realized from dances. At the close of each year the Society presents a gift to the Academy. The Torch Society was the hrst organization to make complete payment on their pledge to the Suffield Academy Building Fund. The Society will enlarge upon this pledge in future years, and eventually remodel one of the rooms in the North Building and leave it as a memorial to the school. The most important project taken up by the Society was the organizing of the Suffield Academ Com- munity Chest, to hand e the students contributions for such charitable organizations as the Reci,Cross, March of Dimes, World Student Service Fund, Prep School Committee, and gifts for members of the student body and faculty that were afflicted with illness. Each boy voluntarily signed a pledge for any amount he wished to give, which was made payable three months from the time of signing. The purposes and standings of the Torch Society have been ably lived up to this year. fi .

Robert Bashevkin As in past years, the Science Club has been one of the largest and most active clubs on the campus. Soon after school opened, the club organized under the able super- vision of Mr. Moran. Early in the fall the members chose their special divisions in which they wished to participate. This year many divisions were organized so that the boys could work with the phase of science which interested them most. The divisions formed were the Stamp Club, Photography Club, Aviation Club, Radio Broadcasting, Radio Mechan- ics, General Mechanics, Chemistry, and Astronomy. Each of these departments chose a chairman to lead them in the years work. Richard Handler headed the Stamp Division, Paul Silversmith did a fine job with the Photography Club, Spencer Mausert lead the Aviation Division, William Putnam the Radio Broadcasting, Lee Whitman Radio Mechanics and Chemistry, john Moran, jr. the General Mechanics, andjames Thompson headed the Astronomy Branch. The Photography and Stamp divisions have been very active this year. The Photogra hy Department has presented very fine lectures and movies. They also sponsore a photography contest which brought excellent results. The Stamp Club has issued a stamp newspaper once a month which is entitled The Suffield Philatelistf' The wor'k done by different departments has varied in quality, some departments being more active than others, but every group has produced favorable results. This year the Science Club is planning to have their annual Academy Review late in April. The show will be a vaudeville variety show, and should be a great success.

SUFFIELD LOSES TO KIMBALL UNION 6-o A strong, well trained, and aggressive football squad from Kimball Union invaded Suffield on Saturday, October 4th, and walked away with a well earned 6-o victory. Coach Terwilligers charges were soundly outplayed by the Kimball Union outfit from the beginning. gKimball Union, moving, but not scoring, seldom gave our boys a chance to score. Suffield, hampered by penalties, never was deep into Kimball Union's territory. The Kimball Union line, showing fine form, opened large holes so that their backs could easily break into the secondary. Suffield was not without offense as Capt. Bill Miller continually pounded the line for sizeable gains. Passing seemed to be notice- ably lacking from the Suffield offense. SUFFIELD TROUNCES MILFORD PREP I3'O With a revamped line-up Suffield's football aggregation trouped down to Milford Prep where they were able to hang up their first victory of the year. With jackson King's arm paving the way, Suffield racked up two first half scores. A pass, King to Kibbe, netted Suf'held's first score. Ed Butova's try for the extra tally went wide. Another touchdown was chalked up when King faded to pass and shot a strike into the waiting arms of Don Murray. Butova toed over the try for the extra point to make the score I3-O in favor of the Orange and Black. In the second half there was no scoring. Suffield was constantly in scoring position but were unable to push over another touchdown as Milford's defense held tight, with their backs to the goal. SUFFIELD BEATEN no BY ROMFORD October 18th was arent s day at Suffield and with a great number of parents v1s1t mg the campus the eature attraction was the football game with Romford Academy Romford sporting new un1forms were fortunate enough to take back to Washing ton Conn a 12. o vlctory Their team was a good deal heav1er than ours and conse quently they were able to push the Orange and Black eleven back on their heels In spite of all Suffield s fighting players lead by Cap t Don Rathbone and that great guard Louie Morin showed that they too had some power to start an offensive of the1r own during the second half whlch was all but nulllfied by the penalttes Our Cl1ffK1bbe made a spectacular run early IU the th1rd period only to have It called back because of a penalty lt IS sad to sav that Romford s boys continually lost their heads and tried to start arguments with our boys with the result that two were asked to leave the game The game itself was a disappointment to many spectators SUFFIELD DEFEATS ADMIRAL BILLARD On the afternoon of October 15 Suffield s football team met and defeated Admiral Billard Academv zo-o Suffield hit pay dirt on thelr first plav from scrimage when Jackson King threw a long pass 1nto the wa1t1ng arms of Cliff Klbbe who easllv sprinted the rema1n1ng distance to the goal A poor pass from center prevented the point after the touchdown W1th Suffield dommatmg the ball the rest of the half whlch netted them another touchdown this t1me on a reverse w1th King tak1ng it over Th1s touchdown set up one of the most surpr1s1ng plays of the game On th1s plav again the pass from center was poor and escaped the grasp of receiver Sam Clrello Butova who was waiting to kick scooped up the ball and ran to his left stopped and threw an underhanded pass into the wa1t1ng arms of Don Murray The nice play on the part of both boys made the score I3 o The two teams battled on even terms until the middle of the last quarter when Bull Mlller smashed over tackle for the final touchdown Butova s kick split the upr1ghts to make the score zo o SUFFIELD TIES WILBRAHAM Playlng their best game of the season underdog Suffield held unbeaten untled Wxlbraham to a scoreless tie Suffield pushed Wllbraham up and down the field in one of the best defensive games of the season Suffield s offensise was not lacking in the least as Bull Miller cracked through holes into the Wilbraham secondary on most any occaslon he took the ball Bill refused to qu1t and kept up his offensive relentlessly throughout the entire game Wilbraham was decisively outplayed throughout the entlre contest Suffield had many scoring chances but were unable to ush over a touchdown In the last period Butova tried a field goal but the angle andnwmd comb1ned to make the attempt a failure as the ball went to the left by inches ln the clos1ng mmute of the game King faded to throw pass after pass but was unable to connect because of the alert W1lbraham defense , - , I ll 1 1 . 1 . t 1 ' ' 1 's ' ' ' 1 a .

Suffield again outplayed the opposition and finished the season with three wins, three losses and one scoreless tie. It was Suflield's fullback Bill Miller who scored the first touchdown of the game. Butova added the extra point to make the score 7-o. Suf'lield's next touchdown was accounted for by a King to Murray pass, with Butova again adding the oint after touchdown. Monson also was able to score a touchdown in the first half? but their extra point was no good. Starting out soon after the whistle had blown to begin the second half, Bill Miller again crossed the goal line and this time Butova's kick was blocked. This made the score zo-6. Don Murray again scored, but this time on an end around . This play covered yards and caught the opposition completely off guard. Butova con- verted to make the final score 7.7-6. Our hats are off to Mr. Terwilliger and Mr. Buflington for a job well done. SUFFIELD LOSES TO WILLISTON 7-o Playing under the worst possible conditions Suffield's eleven was turned back at the hands of Williston Academy, 7-o. The game was played at Williston on a muddy, wind swept, gridiron, with the rain pouring down throughout the game. Suflield was hampered by the rain and was unable to do any accurate passing. The first period brought none of the usual excitement of a Suffield football game, but the second period proved to be much more exciting. Williston scored in the second period after a uffield fumble was recovered by Williston. The second half was very dull with little or no action by either team. The game turned into a kicking duel between the two teams, with Suffield's King carrying the burden for Suffield. ak..- t 'E' Fztqze at the Plate A Lzttl B 5 If Tgpfby Loakznzg Em Over A A Pufb Over n Art Around ,Ae B Z! 4 d For the Hufdmu Red 5 VARSITY SOCCER TEAM Tap Raw, Left to Rigbtg Coach Willa, Sthwabr, Tbompran, Nawatarxlzi, Hemingway, Sanrora, Pzllzgrinella, Managrr, Apter, Miranda, Caarh .S'rcvenJ, .fmmd Rowj Prior, Edmondx, Martinez, Fifqgibbonr, Len, Martial, Hafkell, Richter, Third Rawj Francen, Xmilb, W., Drummond, Hari, R., Valar. This year's soccer squad did not display signs of duplicating last year's team or record. However, they still had what it takes. The squad this season was divided into three teams by the wise judgement of their able coaches Gerhard Wilke and Bill Stevens, who gave their all in assisting and aiding the boys. The three groups were as follows, the Varsity, junior Varsity, and the Intermediate teams. The inter- mediate team was formed to take in the freshman and Sophomore Booters and the better players from thc junior School. The Varsity started on its way by first tackling the Loomis team at Loomis. Many of our boys were inexperienced and were tryin out new positions. The game was quite even, with Loomis bearing in with two reak goals out of their three and our Ed Fitzgibbons crashing through for Suflield's lone point. Final score 3-1. Again with new men in new positions we attacked our next Contender, Monson Academy. The Monson eleven were wide-awake and fast, mainly capitalizing on the breaks which we gave them. Fitzgibbons again came through for our single score for a 3-1 final. Williston was next on the list. In this game Jack Prior came up from thej. V's. to start. The score should have been I-I instead of 1-o in favor of Williston, but a penalty was called on the lone goal which we did score. At last the day of victory came. Wilbraham, our traditional rivals, loomed before us with a fast club, but, Miranda bucked their goalie for a victory score of 1-o. A return game was played with Monson, with both teams faster and more expe- rienced. Monson again won with a two point margin by a score of 1-o. The oddest game of the season, was held on the Milford gridiron. The field was extremely narrow for soccer and to top it off, football goal posts supplemented the soccer goals. Surprisingly enough, we trounced the Milford lads 3-1 with Miranda, Richter and Lees driving in ourgpoints. Two college teams were playe this season. The first was the Sprin field Freshmen. Richter made our point in a mad scramble before the opposing goal for a tie score of I-I. We also tied Massachusetts State, I-I. This was really a rugged game to play. It had been raining constantly and our field was under an inch of water. Even so, both teams battled courageously on to the end with Lees scoring our point on a pen- alty kick. Practically the entire conflict was waged on Mass. State territory. Now, came that ever potent Ludlow eleven. The Sufiield boys just Weren't used to such skill. Our men were completely outclassed and outpassed by a superior Lud- low barrarge. In the last three games, Fitzgibbons was switched from inside to goalie and Lees to full back from inside. This was done to strengthen the defense and it proved very successful. Although there were no individual stars on this year's team there were however some outstanding players namely - Fitzgibbons Miranda Reid and Lees Walter Schwabe a punior showed a great deal of promise this season and we are sure that he will be one of the main men in our soccer spearhead next year A great deal of credit goes to Joe Apter manager whose work was greatly appre ciated by the team Suffield Opponent Loomis Monson Williston Wilbraham Monson Milford Springfield Fr Mass Statej V Ludlow TMJ, Momenf on the Bench Co Captain George Leer prerenrmg letferr at .Yporn Banquet ' 1?

For the second consecutive year the Suffield Academy 'basketball team enjoyed a highly successful season as they won 16 and lost but 4 in regular play and then swept the New England Prep School Association Tournament in Boston. Prospects looked bright at the beginning of the year as Ed Fitzgibbons and Bill Miller, two mainstays of last year's great squad, and several other pormising candidates reported to Coach Stan Ward for practice. The team, although hampered by injuries which forced Clark Wotowicz to miss several early season games and put Amos Edmonds on the sidelines for the entire year, started its season well. However after winning 6 of its first 7 starts the Orange and Black lost 3 of its next 4 games by close margins. I However in a magnificent late season drive the team rolled to nine straight triumphs including victories over such outstanding teams as Wilbraham and Admiral Billard Academies and Yale and University of Connecticut Freshmen. ' A big, hard driving ball club the Orange and Black boasted of no one prolific scorer, although it averaged 55 points a game. The towering center jim Murphy, forwards Bill Miller, john Solek, jack King, Ron Pomeroy and Henry Bahre and guards Clark Wotowicz, Gene Spaziani and Ed Putnam all scored consistently. Captain Ed Fitzgibbons, one of the great floormen in Suffield history, directed the attack and unselfishly set up his teammates for scores. The Wardmen o ened their chart before the Christmas recess by handing a veteran Morse College five a 47-38 setback. Sollek and Miller both hit double figures to feature the attack, Playing in the spacious Springfield Colesium the Academy five resisted a last half onslaught by an Ameri- can lnternational College combine to win 55-47.. Our giant center,jim Murphy, dropped in 8 ueces and 6 singletons to dominate the evening's scoring. U Despite the high scoring tactics of john Solek and Amos Edmonds the Academy cagers ran into their first defeat of the season at the hands of a determined Wesleyan Frosh team. After jumping quickly into the lead the boys were unable to hold their lead and the baby Cardinals pulled away to win by 51-43. 1 With Murphy, Solek and Miller all hitting the hoop for double figures the Orange and Black made their first post Christmas start a successful one by rolling over Monson Academy go-30. Ahead by a 18-17 score at the half we finished strong in the closing moments to win easily.

The 1948 swimming team, a spunky outfit headed by Coach Robert Sweeney, faced its first meet on January 2.9 with Springfield Technical High School. The team con- sisted of eight returning lettermen, and ten new prospects who turned in some excel- lent performances, The team started early in the year with rigid calisthenics. When the boys finally reached the Springfield pool, they were all prepared to swing right into their routine. The boys were taught correct breathing, stroking and kicking with special emphasis on form, so that by the time they had their first meet they were in tip top shape. Swimming against Tech High the team met with a down-heartening defeat by a score of 44-2.1. In the 40 yd. free-style, Richter took a second and Murray took a third. Klay took a third in the 1oo yd. breast stroke and Bassick took a third in the zoo yd. free-style. Mark Schwartz took our only other second in the loo yard back stroke, Drummond took a third in the 1oo yd. free-style, Prior took a third in diving, and the I6O yd. free-style relay team consisting of Richter, Murray, Drummond, and Appleby took our only first in the meet. The time they set was a new school record, breaking the old one by one and two tenths of a second. The new record stands 1213.5 against the old record of 1:2.4.7. Captain elect for the meet was Howard Appleby.

With the first sign of Spring the baseball enthusiasts doned their spikes and caps and began warming up for the first practice. On the first day of formal practice 41 candidates reporte to coach Fitzgerald. The only returning letter man is Howard Appleby, who held the first base position last year, and is in the limelight for the same position this year. Ed Fitzgibbons who played in several varsity games last year, although he actually was a member of the V. team. The other returning J. V. men who are likely prospects are, Norman, J., Murdock, Barber, Meehl, White, and Wylie. The men who are likely to comprise the neucleus of the varsity are, Murray, Bahre, and Appleby for first base, Fitzgibbons on second, Whallen or King on short stop, and Kulkulka on third. The battery prospects are, Przywara, Murphy, Czipulis, and King for the mound, and Pomeroy and Brown behind the plate. Albertson will probably hold down catch on thej. V. nine. For the outfield there is Wojtowicz, Soleck, Spaziani, Butova and Kopp who will probably have the varsity positions, while Kulpick, Morrin, Carvell, Greenberg, Haskell, and Yanetta will keep the daisies company on the V. squad. Other prospects for thej. V. team are, Halpern on third, and Weld on short stop. Through the Winter term Amos Edmonds was unable to participate in any sports because of an injury received during the soccer season. His leg is much better now and he hopes to be at practice within a few days. Coach Fitzgerald hopes to have a very successful season this year with the outfield being the strong part of the team.

Mr. Wilke and Mr. Webster, this year's coaches, should be able to assemble a winning team. The team consists of several returning lettermen and the addi- tion of Donald Robinson, Cliff Kibbe, Dennis Murphy, and Francis Klay. Whitman Smith, Bob Marcus, and Benny Carter, all returning lettermen, should turn in good results for both the IOO and 7.7.0 yard dash. Suffield will be strong in the 440 with Donald Robinson, runnerup for Massachusetts State Championship, and returning lettermen Donald Bankhardt and james Thompson. Cliff Kibbe should be a high point man in the hurdles. In the 880, Bankhardt is expected to turn in excellent times. Again this year, as previously, Suffield is hampered by the lack of long distance men. In the field, Suffield should again be strong. Carter and Marcus are always good for points in the broad jump, while Marcial does a superb job on the high jump. Francis Klay and Dennis Murphy should be invaluable men in the shot put and discus. The 880 relay team will consist of Marcus, Smith, Carter and Levin, also a returning lettermen. The mile relay team should be very strong if a fourth man can be found to run with Bankhardt, Thompson, and Robinson. Last years track team got a late start but came through with wins over Tech High of Springfield, and Westminster School. They suffered one lone defeat at the hands of Williston Academy. High point men for last year's team were Whitman Smith, Benny Carter, Don Bankhardt, and James Thompson all of whom will be on this years team. The probable schedule is as follows: April 2.4 - Williston May 5 - Westminster May 2.2. - Wilbraham VARSITY TENNIS Bottom Row, Left to Rigbtg Valn, Handler, Kimball, Drummond, Yanmtta, Oxtrow, Wilbzr, Bauirk, Daw. .Yefond Rowj Campagrza, Cimxni, Larrain, Taylor, Perkim, Scbwabe, Flaxman, Bodin, Halpern, Burr fManagerD. Top Rowj Mr. Steven: CCoarl1D, Wbztman, Simon, Miranda, Oefinger, Silverfmitb, Xmilb. The prospects for this years tennis team look bright, and Coach Stevens, even with a tough schedule, ex- pects to have a pretty good tennis season. The only returning letterman is Ray Perkins who has received a varsity letter for the last two years in succession. Great things are exgected of Ray, and he will probably come through in fine style. Also re- turning from last years team are ed Richter and Bob Flaxman, who, clue to other work, couldn't stay with the squad a full year. ' Some of the new men will be Walter Schwabe, runnerug in the Springfield High Tourney, who should show some well experienced talent on the courts, Richard odin, who has had some experience on Hamden courts, Paul Albertson and Les Halpern, also of some experience. Walter Schwabe and Ra Perkins will be the number one and two men, while Richter and Flaxman will have a tossup for third and lzmurth. Rich- ard Bodin and Les Halpern will probably occupy the last two places, while Paul Albertson will be a doubles man. The schedule for this season is heavy, and consists often meets. They are: April I7 - Kent April LI - Wilbraham april 14 -- Monson ay 1 - Monson May 8 - Milford May I1 '- Cranwell may I5 - ltggiford ay I9 - mis May zz. - Dean Academy May 1.9 - Springfield Frosh. 0 W?

Fifteen boys answered Mr. Sweeney's call this year for golf. In this group we find one returning letterman in Danial Bassick, eight men who have played before, and seven men who are newcomers to the game who will receive personized supervision From all reports Richard Mackey is one of the best golfers to enter this school in quite some time, and it is around this man that Mr. Sweeney hopes to be able to build a winning combination. The other candidates for the remaining five positions listed according to previous records are: Checo Kazalski, Danial Bassick, George Lees, William Waldron, John Francese, and Eugene Raffile. The manager of this year's team will be Fred Sibley. The schedule finds Suffield playing its lirst two matches with Monson, followed by single meetings with Milford Cawayb, Cranwell Cawayj, Worcester Chomel, and Dean CawayD respectively. This year's squad is meeting the last three teams for the first time in several years. Having lost many key men such as Fay Williams, Bob Gentner, Bill MacAvoy, Richard Ludwin, and playing manager Ernest Pendleton. Coach Sweeney is making no predictions for this year's squad, but is nevertheless looking forward to a good showing during the 1948 season. il' v JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM Top Row, Left to Righty Manager 0'Conner, R., Halpern, Meehl, Ketover, Doebener, Robmron, Carter, Appleby Roreman, Bankbardt, ldlii, Holton, Siblgf, - Manager, Coach Fzlqgerald, .Yerond Rowj Murdork, Norman, Caruell, 0'Brien, Grijin, Barber, Perlzinr, R, Norman, P., Dunn, Brown, Levin, Bottom Rowg Howe, Ford, Wylie Albertron, Rajile, Srhwartz, Barhevlzin, Handler, Nowotarxlzi, F. 1 a 1 SUFFIELD J.

It was Suffield's hard running fullback Rick Car- vell, who on the very first play of the game ran 55 yards for a touchdown. Carvell also added to his first touchdown two more on smashing runs. Ray Perkins un- wrapped a left-handed pass and completed it to Dave Meehl who stepped into the end zone for the final score. Not a single extra point was added throughout the contest. Dick Barber was captain for the day and played the entire game. Coach Fitzgerald deserves all the credit due him for a well drilledj. V. team. SUFFIELD-1. V 'S. SMOOTHER WESTMINSTER 38 - o On October 15th thej. V.'s. won an easy victory from Westminster by defeating them 38-o. Once again Suffield's fullback was able to score on the very first play of the game. Following Carvell on the touchdown parade was Ray Perkins and Dave Meehl. Perkins scored on a line plunge and Meehl on a long pass. In the second half Al Levin intercepted a pass and raced 55 yards for a score. Charles Carter was also able to hit pay dirt in this game after a seriesof fine runs. Two extra points were added during the contest one each by Levin and Carvell.

This year, Suffield Academy had three separate football squads, each using the same style of play, same basic plays, and having their own individual schedules. Boys who were too small and lacked experience for varsity orj. V. ball were taught the fundamentals of the game and then proceeded to conquer a stiff schedule under the guidance of Mr. Sweeney. On October iith the lightweights journeyed to Eaglebrook to gain their initial win 1.6-o from a heavier varsity squad. Yanetta scored two touchdowns, both on quick openers, Platt on a quarterback sneak, and Hyfield off the end. Theodore Kulpik, playing a great defensive and offensive game was captain for the day. A go yard pass from jack Taylor to john Moran, jr. with 45 seconds remaining brought a well-earned victory over Westminster on Oct. i5. Although outweighed, outmanned, several untimel penalties, and injury to scattback Platt, captain Jack Shea spear-headed his boys through to the well dyeserved victory high-lighted by many long runs and vicious defensive play. On Wednesday, Oct. 1.1, the well-drilled lightweights defeated Williston 31-O. Platt started the game by running So yards for a touchdown, and later romped 35 yards for another score. Kopp scored twice on quarterback sneaks and connected on a jump pass to end Nelson Norman for a third. Capt. Dominick Yanetta scored on a beautiful quick opener, jack Taylor converting. Hall High administered the only defeat to our boys on Nov. 16th by a score of x -6. jack Taylor scored the lone touchdown on a fullback plunge. Capt. Francis Platt, playing a splendic? game, both offensively as well as defensively, made the opponents ever alert and conscious of a strong fighting Suffield eleven. Kopp and Kulpik masterminded several long marches, but were hampered by wet turf, several fumbles and two pass interceptions which were the margin of victory. The lightweights won their 4th victory Nov. 14th, in a 39-O win over Eaglebrook. Scotty Hyfield scored the initial touchdown, Platt racked up two more, Wylie and Taylor adding two on full-back end runs, and john Moran,jr. opened up on a 45 yard end around jaunt, Nelson Norman missin by three yards on the same play earlier in t e game. Extra points were added by Brouilette, Moran anrFPlatt. Capt. Kulpik was cleared in the eye on the first play, and thereafter the Suffield eleven would not be denied. The lightweights finished their season against a powerful Deerfield outfit, by coming out on to of a I9-7 score. Platt scored first but Deerfield came right back to lead 7-6 at half time. In the second half, Hyfield made a beautiful end run of 30 yards to give Suffield a ii.-7 edge. In the 4th period, Kopp on a flashy 70 yard punt return through the whole Deerfield team broke the game wide open. Co-Captains Platt and Kul- pik worked behind a strong fighting line on defense and offense.

This year the Academy Junior Varsity basketball team, under the coaching of Mr., Buffinton, had a fair season with a record of 7 Wins as against 9 losses. The team, although average height, was very fast and shifty. Led by Co-Captains XValter Tex Schwabe and Benny Carter the squad was able to beat such teams as the Morse College J. V.'s, the local High School Junior Varsity and others, including Monson AcademyJ. V.'s, Adm. BillardJ. V.'s, Milford School V.'s and two teams from nearby Springfield. High scorer for the season was Benny Carter, who compiled a total of S7 hoops and 7.7. fowl line tosses. Right on his heels was Schwabe, who swished the nets with 46 baskets and 16 charity tosses from the black line. Coach Buffinton had quite a job ahead of him in putting together this team, as practice sessions were somewhat limited because of many other events going on in the gym. At the beginning of the season theJunior Varsity began strong by winning their first five games. Then a slump hit the boys that was hard to overcome. Near the tail end of the season the team began to find themselves. When it seemed that a losing streak was going to be snapped the season ended. The first game of the season found V.'s tackling the local High School team. In the low scoring contest the Academy Cagers were victorious by zo-17. Next came an upset victory over the older, more experienced Morse College J. V.'s. It was an easy nine-point victory for the Orange and Black. Following on the list of the J. V.'s was the Monson Academy V.'s. The score was I3 to 8. Number four came at the hands of Adm. Billard by a 2.8-2.3 score. The fifth victory as in as many starts was a 2.1-19 defeat handed to the Milford School J. V.'s. This is where the streak ended and where we shall leave the team for this season. Nm!!!

The Freshman-Sophomore Squad had a Successful season during the 47-48 campaign. Under the able leadership of Mr. Ozimek the team won CQ four and lost QD four. In the first ame of the season Suffield met a much stronger Hartford County Home team. They had all ready played 57D seven games and they proved their outstanding ability by beating Suffield by the lopsided score of 40-7.1. Charles Kopp played the best for the home team hooping C141 fourteen points. Hard luck stayed with the team as they again met a much bigger and better team in Deertield. Suffield couldn't be stopped as they were losing by a large margin at half-time but came right back and lost 1.7 -2.5. The team was all gped up to win this game against Hartford County Home. Losing to them once the odds were against Su eld. But a determination to win brought the team a victory by the score of 36-17. With one victory the team met the American School for Deaf. But A.S.D. proved too strong and Suffield lost 37.-15. Charlie Kopp again copped scoring honors. This lost wasn't so bad as Suffield was facing the A. S. D. jayvee's instead of their freshman. The team then traveled to Deerfield to play the line aggregation which beat Sufiieldrpreviously. The boys fought the whole way through. The final score saw Suffield on top by the margin 0 36-31. joe Norman's drive and Charlie Hopp's shooting sparked the attack. Then the Freshman-Sophomore squad played the Suffield High School. The High School team was small, very fast, and had excellent shooting ability. The Academy boys thus went down to a defeat by the score of 1.6-13. The Baptist Church five challenged the academy basketeers to a game in the Suflield Gym. The team lost their star forward Charles Kopp, but Ted Weld and Dave Baker carried on with timely shooting and ac- curacy. The final score was 64-13. The team ended the season with a game with the jr. School coached by Eugene Spaziani. In this game Dave Baker and Paul Gale teamed together with wonderful shots and led the team to a 59-16 victory. Baker scored zo points and Gale 16 pts. There was fine play byjack Shea and Ed. Turner. The Highest Scorer for the season was Charlie Kopp with 75 Points. The Highest individual scorer was Dave Baker with 2.1. Points in the Baptist Church game.
