CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1956 started four long years ago in 1952 when eight small Freshmen came to Suflield. Bill Anderson came to find someone who would laugh at his jokes. Bill Austin didn't think it was any joke, he came to get away from Brenda. Ron Cormier arrived early at Sufiield to learn how to talk and play sports, guess which one he's accomplished. Little Steve Dellaquila came to Suffield to mix with the big boys and teach Frank DeMaio how to play good, clean-cut football.
