The Class of 1957 started the year by electing Robert Daly of Hartford, Connecticut, president, Richard Ferguson of Amsterdam, New York, vice-president, Stephen Sumner of Amsterdam, New York, secretary-treasurer, and Frank DeMaio of Hamden, Connec- ticut, to the Athletic Council. The group then proceeded to make plans for the annual junior Prom. They named the affair Moments to Remember. After much preparation, the dance was held in the Dining Hall on February 3. The turnout made the dance the most successful held here. It was indeed a cred-it to the class and to the school. During the course of the year, several members of the class made names for them- selves around the school. Some of the recognition came on the athletic fields and some came in the classrooms. Richard Ferguson and the fabulous Robert Zimmerman con- tributed the brunt of the scholastic achievement. Zimmerman has been on the Honor Roll since his arrival at the school. Frank DeMaio contributed to the success of the football team and his tiger spirit carried over into the westling season. With Frank around we know that next year's teams will achieve greater success. Several newcomers appeared on the Suffield athletic fields this year and the Junior Class had their share of stars. jack Locke and Robert Daly contributed to the success of football, basketball, and baseball teams, and Pete Sherman showed his talents as a real star goalie for the hockey team. Several other juniors shone on the athletic fields. Among these were Marvin Singer, the hockey team's outstanding centerg Theodore Rosenberg, the smooth-fielding, good hitting infielder on the baseball team was outstanding during his sophomore season and he continued to show his prowess this past season. With all these outstanding class members and with the rest of the very capable group, the junior Class is bound for a successful senior year.

The Class of 1958 has enjoyed a successful year. At the beginning of the year, they elected a slate of outstanding ollicers to guide the class. Harvey Greenhalgh is president, Michael Sheridan, vice president, and Gordon Mac- Alister, secretary-treasurer. Under the able leadership of these boys, several successful projects were undertaken. Among those activities planned for the future is the annual class picnic at Mr. Paul Sanderson's retreat at Monson, Massachusetts. The camp has facilities for boating, fishing, swimming and out- door barbecues. 31 THE FRESHMAN CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS First row, left to right: Tinker, Holzer, Lothmann, Talbot, Balke.

This year the Class of 1959 elected Horace Lothmann, from Cincinnati, Ohio, president, Peter Holzer from Scarsdale, New York, vice-president, and Malcolm Tinker of Suflield, Connecticut, secretary. The class has shown much scholastic ability and should bring honor and prestige to Suflield in the years to come. They have also demonstrated their de- sire to learn and an eagerness to win while on the athletic field. Their leadership traits became evident during the planning of many school activities. Although their years ahead may be diflicult ones, the rewards that are awaiting them will be well worth striving for. 32 F3 ,Q NV 'Y QT, gf 1, 7 -F lx - X N I ff C432 ATHLETICS VARSITY FOOTBALL First row, left to right: DeMaio, O'Connell, Ceruti, Taylor, J.S., Co-Captain, Anderson, J., Co-Captain, Klarfeld, Daly, Dellaquila, Crowley.

VAR SITY FOOTBALL Sufiield opened their season on a high note, forcing a tie with Loomis. Suffield scored first and displayed their superiority all through the game. The final score was 7-7. One sad note in the game was the first period injury of Co-Captain Jim Anderson. This seriously hurt Suffield's ground attack and pre- vented a possible win for the Orange and Black. Anderson's injury forced him to sit out the second game against Kings- wood. This game, which was played in four inches of mud, found Sufiield on the short end of a 19-O score. The closest The Tigers came to paydirt that day was the one-foot line. This was in the first half with Kingswood leading 6-0. However, the clock ran out and Sufiield was halted for the day. Although suffering defeat, the team was a much more experienced and well-knit outfit the next time it took the field. Sufi'ield's next clash came with Hopkins. The game, played before a large Parents' Day crowd, ended with Sufiield victorious, 19-7. jim Anderson scored all SuHield's points that day and climbed to third in the prep school scoring race. The feature of the game was a terrific goal line stand put on by The Tigers at the end of the first half. Standouts in the line were Bob Ceruti, Steve Dellaquila, Jon Klarfeld, jack O'Connell, and Jim Crowley. Spirits were high and The Tigers set sights on another victory. iffield Opponent 7 Loomis 7 0 Kingswood 19 19 Hopkins 7 19 Trinity-Pawling O 13 Canterbury O 7 Avon 18 The weekend following, Sufiield smashed Trinity-Pawling of New York, 19-0. Once again Anderson starred, scoring three times. After that game he climbed past Chet Boulris of Deerfield in the N. E. Prep scoring race and ob- tained a solid grip on second place. The only one in front of him was Wes Roadhouse, also of Deerheld. Morale soared as The Tigers whipped Canterbury School with Anderson scoring thirteen points. Bob Ceruti set up the first TD, going thirty yards to the Canterbury twenty after taking a pass from Co-Captain Johnny Taylor. Taylor set up the second TD as he charged 15 yards behind his center to the Canterbury 2. The final score, Suffield 13, Canterbury O. Suffield bowed to powerful Avon in the last game. 18-7 was the score. Anderson got the TD for The Tigers and Ceruti the extra point. Jim was beaten out for the scoring title after he had held first place for two weeks. The winner was Roadhouse who triumphed by three points. Playing in their last game against Avon were: Co-Captains Jim Anderson and John Taylor, Bob Ceruti, Sam Panella, Steve Dellaquila, jack O'Connell, John Klarfeld, Moose Crowley, Dick Greene, Brad Hutchings, Mike Rosenthal and Bill Chapman. It wasn't an undefeated season, but it certainly was a hard-fought one. More than once Suffield upset the odds and emerged victorious. The team of 1955 can always be proud of its record, both in victories and sportsmanship. ,. Lf NW uiiffy 'M A M 4, F 'S .,..rf ' 'Mt 9 . 0. 1 ,.q ff? aw ny' s .4 M', N JP' .

IUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL This year's junior Varsity football team was one of the finest the school has ever seen. The team, although inexperienced, was well-drilled by Coach Harold A. Wiper, and managed to establish a season record of three wins and one loss. The Hrst J. V. game was played against Kingswood. Suffield surged ahead to a powerful 19 points lead and allowed only one Kingswood touch- down. The Westminster game was won by the same score, as was the Williston game. Finally, at Wilbraham, the team lost its first game to a powerful team by the relatively close score of 12-6.

VARSITY SOCCER Under the-tutelage of Mr. Sanderson, and the assistant coach, Mr. Leshure, the Varsity Soccer squad completed one of its most successful seasons in recent years. Their splendid record of 4 victories, 2 losses and 5 ties earned them fifth position in the Western New England Preparatory School Soccer Association. The two defeats were registered by Deerfield, 6-0, in the opening game of the season, and by Mount Hermon, the best club which The Tiger team faced all season. Arter their initial setback, the boys bounced back to pin a 3-0 defeat on Williston, as Bill Austin, Marty Clayton and Ed Guyer dented the scoring column for the victors. Kingswood was the next opponent on the schedule for The Tigers . On a muddy afternoon, October 8, the team came from behind to tie a spirited Kingswood outfit. joe Kowalsky's penalty kick in the dying moments of the final period of play deadlocked the score 4-4. Displaying their best offense of the season, the squad crushed Avon Old Farms, 6-1, as Marty Clayton executed the hat trick by scoring three times. Vic Vales chipped in with two goals to spark the victory. 38 ield I Deerfield S Williston 1 Kingswood 3 Avon Old Farms 1 2 Pomfret J Mount Hermon 4 l Hopkins J Loomis l Kent 5 Wilbraham 5 Monson Pomfret provided the opposition for the Suffield eleven on October 15. After taking a two goal lead, The Tigers were fortunate to come off the field with a 2-2 tie. The Pomfret team came to life in the last period and scored twice. Sparkling defensive work by fullbacks Paul West and Lance Brown and the offensive work of Clarke Bourdon prevented further scoring by the visitors. Following the Mount Hermon defeat, the Orange and Black entertained Hopkins Grammar on Parents' Day. Starting quickly The Tigers took a 1-0 lead as Co-Captain Austin tallied early in the opening quarter. Hopkins tied the game on a penalty kick in the second 15 minutes of play. Both teams threatened in the second half, but neither was successful and the game ended in a 1-1 deadlock. A defensive battle took place at Loomis, and the game ended in a O-0 tie. The halfback line of Kowalsky, Donoghue and Kowalczyk was outstanding for Suffield. In the next game, the team encountered their fifth tie of the season, tieing Kent 1-1. Neither team could take advantage of the breaks and come through with a winning goal. Ed Mathieson's splendid play and the kicking of jack Stubbings were highlights for Suffield. In a second half surge, the squad tripped Wilbraham 3-1. Goals by Clayton, Austin and Cormier insured the victory. The team rounded out its campaign by pinning a 3-1 defeat on Monson, as Bill Sundel and jim Donoghue tallied for the first time during the season. Marty Clayton also scored to give him 8 goals for the season, which was high for the team. Bill Austin followed with 7, while Ed Guyer and Vic Vales booted in two apiece. Clarke Bourdon, Bill Sundel and halfbacks Joe Kowalsky and jim Donoghue each had one, for a total of 23 goals scored by the team for the entire season.

V's. record was not very impressive C0-4-1 J , the team was pretty good. The competition was tough and all the games were hard-fought. In the first game against Pomfret, Sufiield started off quickly with two goals but Pomfret came from behind to tie the game. In the second game against Deerfield the score was tied one all until the final four minutes when Deerfield tallied to give them the win. In the third contest against Forman, Sufiield fought very hard but cou1dn't seem to get one through. Forman won 1-0. In their next to last game Sufiield played a powerful Kingswood J. V. team. Sufiield had many breaks but couldn't seem to capitalize on them and they were beaten 4-2. In their last game Suffield played host to Wilbraham. Our team just couldn't seem to get one by the Wilbraham goalie, final score 3-0. 41 Y , , ..-,f-r.--U , , ----1 I . X g, X X L .0-. A -f'N ,H QA..

LIGHTWEICHT SOCCER Mr. Reynolds' Lightweight Soccer team had a very successful 1955 season. Of five games played, we lost one, tied two, and won two. The first game of the season was played at Deerfield. The score was in our favor, 1-0. Williston gave us a hard fight and had almost won when a ball sent in by Dave Szymanski tied the score 2-2. In the Pomfret game, ex- cellent team work by Bruce Bogart and Hiram Munger brought this game to a 2-2 tie. The Monson game proved to be another one under the belt for us. In the first half, neither side had much to boast about. In the second half, a full- back kick by Dick Collins and the ready foot of jon Peters started our scoring. Then Peters followed up with another hit, followed by one by Barney Barger. The score ended in our favor 3-0. In the Eaglebrook game, our luck changed and despite the hard work of Ralph Krensky's goal tending and Russell Mallard's fullback defense, they walked over us with a score of 6-0. 42 VARSITY BASKETBALL First row, left to right: Locke, j., Young, Ceruti, Captain, Anderson, J., Daly.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The varsity basketball team once again played its first game against the Loomis team. The team displayed good form on their home court, but was unable to get the victory as Loomis won, 47-37. The second game of the season was played at home against an always strong Deerfield squad. Deerfield's closely knitdefense and offense was too much for Sufiield as the team lost another game 56-40. The next game was one of the finest all season. SuHield's offensive attack began to work effectively and Williston only won in the final minutes of the game. Anderson scored 37 points in this game, which was won by Williston, 53-51. Suffield outplayed a Monson team in the next game to win 58-48. The Avon game was another exciting one. The score was very close in the final minutes of play but Sufheld was victorious with a score of 64-62. Sufiield once again completely outplayed the Choate School and won the game 62-43 on the home court. 43 Weakened by the absence of high scoring jim Anderson, Suffield lost an extremely tight game to the Kingswood team 62-60. One of the highest scoring games was with St. Thomas. Suffield trounced the St. Thomas hoopsters 71-55. Playing Loomis at Loomis, Suffield once again met its nemesis as Loomis rolled up the score to defeat us 67-56. After the disheartening loss to Loomis, Suffield bounced back for a win over The Gunnery 58-50. Anderson once again set the pace for Suffield with 21 points as the team defeated an inexperienced Trinity-Pawling squad 53-35. In one of the hardest fought games of the season, Suffield was subdued by the league-leading Wilbraham team. The game was played hard all the way through, and the score was a relatively close 57-48. After this defeat Suffield swamped the Hopkins team by a score of 61-46. In the next to the last game Suffield once again moved the ball effectively to defeat a spirited Cranwell team 47-44. The final game of the season was played against Canterbury, and once again Suffield rode to victory 72-56. Coach Raymond Picard did an excellent job this year as in the past. At the Winter Sports Banquet he awarded the Ronald G. Smith Memorial Trophy to john S. Taylor.

BASKETBALL This year the junior Varsity Basketball team played a total of twelve .mes and finished the season with a record of eight victories and four defeats. The team was well-coached by Mr. Williams and competently led by tptain Richard Ferguson, who kept spirit high at all times. The team worked together at all times as a unit. This team cooperation as especially noticeable in the last game against Cranwell in which the starting we players all scored between 10 and 13 points. In all, the J. V's. had a very good season with some close games such as e Trinity-Pawling game, The Gunnery game and the second Loomis game hich we lost 54-52 in one overtime. The team also made impressive showings which the second string team showed their talents such as the Avon game an by Suffield 64-35. At the Winter Sports Banquet the team was congratulated by Mr. Seaverns 1 their playing and j. V. letters were awarded to: Ferguson, Sheridan, Sundel, zwit, Bishop, Shepard and Kowalczyk. If this team can improve there are good Varsity prospects on the team. 45 Sullield Opponent 46 Loomis 37 44 Williston 48 56 Monson 45 64 Avon 3 5 30 Choate 40 44 Kingswood 3 8 5 2 Loomis 5 4 39 Gunnery 40 30 Trinity-Pawling 29 43 Wilbraham 3 1 48 Hopkins 39 60 Cranwell 5 2 as if HOCKEY First row, left to right: Hutchings, Sherman, Greenhalgh, Singer, Anderson, W., Klarfeld.

VARSITY HOCKEY The varsity hockey team, once again plagued by lack of ice, showed great improvement over last year's team. The spirit of the team was always excellent in spite of a lack of practice. The first game, against the Mount Hermon V's., was won by Suffield 2-1. The following games were lost to strong Lenox and Pomfret teams. Coaches Rawson, Leshure and Reynolds did their best in spite of obstacles, and with favorable weather and equally good coaching next year, we can expect a much improved team. 46 r r ,N -, ' SWIMMING First row, left to right:l'Sullivan, Browne, W., Wright, Greene, D.

The first meet was a close one, as were all the meets. Suflield won over the Mount Hermon J. V's. Suffield then lost close meets to the Westminster School J.V.'s and Deerfield J. V's. before winning a meet against the Williston J. V. team. The Suffield team lost very close meets to the Avon Varsity and the Hopkins Varsity, and finally lost its last meet by a score of 39-38 to the Canterbury J. V's. Coach Robert Cobaugh has done an excellent job of coaching the team this year, and the swimmers have put forth their best efforts throughout the season. Practice still takes place at the Springfield pool, but spirit was excellent throughout the season. We hope next year's team will improve on this year's good team.

VARSITY WRESTLING This being the first year of varsity wrestling at Suffield, the team had to learn by trial and error. They had no direct rules governing the merit of a varsity wrestler. The coaches based the letter on three main factors. These were: attendance, cooperation, and the number of matches wrestled. The team wrestled in nine weight groups. Practically every weight class had its own star. Howard Gordon, in the 115 lb. class, had a good record. The 120 lb. class was divided between Bob Peck and Bill Welch. Bob Byers held the 130 lb. class and Dick Brenner held the 137 lb. class. Brenner's speed and ability made him extremely hard to be taken down. He was one of the wrestlers who had more wins than losses. Bill Chapman, in the 147 lb. class and Sam Panella, 157 lb. class had rec- ords of equal wins and losses. At the end of the last match, Panella was losing. At the beginning of the third and last period he drove the Wilbraham wrestler onto the mat and kept him there for a pin. Frank Gowdy in the 167 lb. class won his matches by more pins than ties or decisions. Joe Kowalsky was the wrestler in the 177 lb. class until he sustained a leg injury at the last match with Kingswood. We turned to Frank DeMaio, who worked himself down from 185 to 177, and Frank finished out the season. Steve Dellaquila wrestled in the unlimited class and was the only undefeated wrestler on the team. Out of 16 team members, eight got varsity letters and seven got V. letters. Steve was awarded the newly created wrestling cup. Out of nine matches, we won three. We wrestled two with Williston, Kingswood, Wilbraham and American School for the Deaf. We wrestled one with Loomis J. V's. The first year of organized varsity wrestling at Suffield has proven to be a very successful one and we hope that future teams will carry on in the fine spirit of this year's team. RIFLERY First row, left to right: Cormier, Hullus, Klock, jellison. Second row, left to right: Mr. Banks, Coach, Guyer, Szymanski, Rosenthal. RIFLERY In its first active year here at Suffield, the rifle team did very well. Al- though the team won none of its matches, the members showed a tremendous improvement over last year's scores. Ed Guyer, Stanley Klock, and Dave Szy- manski will be hack next year to help form the nucleus of next year's team. Coach Edward Banks did an excellent job in coaching the boys, and if progress made thus far is any indication of the future, Sufheld will have a winning team in the sport of riflery in years to come.

TEICH ARCHITECT O 7 EPILOCUE Finished. Four years of hard study and good times - sometimes legal often not - are lin- ished. ,But nothing more than that? Do you see that small freshman cavorting in his carefree, ingenuous way? He is not familiar to you, but he is you, and you are he, four years only in between. 'Those years have done much to us, and we to them. Many masters have made their impressions on our characters. Many courses have done their work. Molded, sometimes battered, we have come through -- not to look back longing but to face the future with hope. Tomorrow we shall return to look again at the ivy and the memories, but today the future is ahead. B 1. Z Q2 :Ve i 1 if 3 M 1 4 Mn' . . ,Q gl . I V ff, I' X' 9-fy. -.9 '5 1- ' ,fy U Q Q .
