fi N. J History of the Class of 1928 As we look back through the vista of the years certain incidents stand revealed in a rosy glow. Thus, we, the class of 1928, are recalling the days, which marked our sojourn .as students of Suffield School. Four happy years we spent hereg made joyful by suocess and saddened by failure, we have always kept pressing on tofward the goal. Thinking back over our year as Freshmen, we remember our uncertainty as to just where we belonged and what we' should dfog but by constant and close association with the upper classmen, we soon decided that there was much to learn, so we set our- selves to the task of upholding the spirit and traditions of the school. Football claimed our attention from the start and it was with pride that we cheered' while our boys swept on to vict-oryg and, although defeat often overtook us, our spirits did not waver. One event 'in particular appears rosier than the rest, for it was the only one of its kind during our four years at Suffield School. We had a Hal.lowe'en Party. Ghosts, costumes. and entertainment were plentiful, bringing us to the conclusion that Fresh- man year was not altogether devoid of thrills. Our first exams came and went. but still we marched steadily on. glorying in the, success of the musical comedy. All Afboardg witnessing the establishment of a tennis team: grieving for the death of Hon. Geforze A. Harmon, a member off the Board of Trustees: and all the while learning to admire and respect more and more our Headmaster. Dr. Gage. who began his administration at Suffield in our first year. The next year found us back as Sophomores, a little older and a little wiser, but with the same buoyant spirits. We hoped to make this, a greater success even than our first year. Because of the great albundance of snow that winter, it would seem too great a nity to make no special use of it: accordingly our Finst Winter Carnival was held. Brifrht colored lights transformed the wihole campus into a veritable fairyland at night. while the day produced amusement for everyone in the form of skiing, sliding, tobogganing, and skating. Soon after. dramatics, as in the previous year, claimed our attention. This year Kathleen another musical comedy, had its two days' run. Nineteen twenty-six saw the establishment of two new sports-hockey and swimming-and. the organization of two new societies-the Sigma Delta Athletic Society and the Dr. Foster Club, now known as the Y. M. C. A. This year we missed Dr. Gage, who was unable to be with us during the greater part of the year. on account of illness and a broken hip. We depluored his absence from chapel each morning and the lack of his help in other ways, but soon learned that Mr. Sisson was one to be depended upon. A shadow marred the usual happy time at Commencement, for Mary Cusick, one of our schoolmates, passed away just .a few days before. When we returned as Juniors we found our ranks somewhat depleted by the dropping out of old members, but with new ones replacing' them we again resumed our journey. Realizing that there was but one more year in which to accomplish much, we chose our pleasures so that they would fbe .a benefit to us in the end. A trip to Springfield to see the play Julius Caesar, and another trip to see Haw'thorne's mas- terpiece, The Scarlet Letter, on the screen, are lbut two off the many bright sports in our Junior year. The Junior Prom is another pleasant memory. It was conceded to be the best svrrresn ISEIOOL Q' ' YEAR BOOK so page sixteen H 1 Q 'L 5 0 ss I 1
