The patrol was given the full support of Mr. Sisson so that it could carry on its duties sucessfully. Paul Ford, President; Lewis Cannon, Secretary. READERS ' REFLECTION Many seniors were on the staff of the Readers ' Reflection this year with Margaret Trudo, Editor-in-chief and Alice Healy, Associate Editor. Dele¬ gates from the staff attended the state Scholastic Press Association Convention in New Haven. Early in the fall the staff spon¬ sored a sport dance, the receipts of which made it possible for us to con¬ tinue sending the paper to Suffield High boys in service. 21 SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was again formed under the direction of Miss Biggerstaff. The officers are Barbara Noble, President; Beverley Hayden, Vice President; Lewis Cannon, Secre¬ tary; Paul Ford, Treasurer. During the year several one-act plays were presented for auditorium programs.

The cast was as follows reading from left to right: Dorothy Schreck, Her¬ man Roesberg, Marilyn Orr, Donald Welt, Carl Reed, Jeanne Palmer, Thomas Kopernik, Margaret Trudo. 22 FRENCH CLUB The French Club is a new club to Suffield High School. It was organ¬ ized by Miss Poirier to give the mem¬ bers an opportunity to use conversa¬ tional French. During the meetings ihe time is spent preparing French plays, playing games in French, reading French stories, and speaking French. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club does everything possible to aid the pupils who use the library for class purposes and recreation reading. The members keep the library as cheerful a place to work in as they can. Some of the routine work to be done in the library by the members is keeping all books in their special places and checking books in and out for the pupils to read. The Library Club sponsored a sue- cessful record dance in the audi¬ torium. Officers of the club this year are Marilyn Orr, President; Ruth Merrill, Vice President; Hazel Campbell, Secretary; Jeanne Bailey, Treasurer. BOYS ' BASKETBALL The varsity basketball team chalked up a successful season. Coach H. C. Brown, who turned in a fine tutoring job, slated a 22 game schedule. Suffield is in line for many more good seasons, as the under¬ classmen played a big part in making this one successful. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL This year ' s Girls ' Basketball Team is the first from Suffield High School that has played in competition with neighboring schools. Considering this fact the girls did very well, and we hope for even more success next year. BOYS 7 BASEBALL Early this spring the varsity base¬ ball team began its practice. Nearly all of the members of the team are veterans of last year. Having estab¬ lished a reputation in the games of the previous year, the team is ex¬ pected to make a record for Suffield High in 1945. GIRLS 7 BASEBALL The baseball team coached by Mrs. Ganley started practice in the early spring with much enthusiasm. Several games were scheduled with neighboring schools and because of the cooperation and fine sportsman¬ ship shown by the players, we had a very successful year. SOCCER The soccer team made its first ap¬ pearance at Suffield High School this year with a six game schedule. We were victorious in one, tied one, lost thre emtf one was canceled. Wi hine initial step taken, we hope t fJ have a better season next year.

L BOYS ' GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Miss Wolf, the Boys ' Glee Club sang, both as a group, and with the Girls ' Glee Club at various programs and assemblies. ORCHESTRA The Suffield High School orches¬ tra originated in 1939. Since then it has improved greatly.

OFFICE PRACTICE HOME ECONOMICS CLASS HISTORY In September, 1941, an excited group of students entered Suffield High School. True, this was not our first glimpse of the school because we had been here for two years before this eventful day, but this occasion was different. This time we were Freshmen! We got off to an excellent start as high school students by electing Edward Reynolds as our president, Alberta Adams as vice president, Fred Bednaz as our secretary, and Margaret Trudo as treasurer. Our first social event was a Halloween party held in the auditorium. In the middle of the winter we had a skating party that was piles of fun for everyone. Before we realized it, plans were already made for our closing outing at Babbs 7 Beach. After an exhilarating day at Babbs 7 , we went our separate ways for the summer. When we returned to school in September we settled down to the serious business of electing the following officers: Lewis Cannon, president; Paul Ford, vice president; Eileen Sullivan, secretary; Marilyn Orr, treasurer. Our sophomore year was a comparatively quiet one. We purchased our class rings, which earned the admiration of everyone who saw them. The year fled by and suddenly our sophomore year was finished. September rolled around again and another school year started. This time we were upper classmen and did we love it! To get off to a good start we elected Paul Ford as president, Margaret Trudo as vice president, Eileen Sullivan- as secretary and Roy Gallant as our treasurer. To get the social ball rolling the Juniors sponsored the first dance of the season which was a great success. After the Christmas holidays we met to discuss plans for the Junior Prom. Following many weeks of preparation the great night arrived. Helen Markowski was chosen as the May Queen. Her attendants were Barbara Bacon, Hazel Campbell, Marilyn Orr, Betty Stratton, Eileen Sullivan, and Margaret Trudo. During the year many juniors gained prominence around the school. Donald Welt was chosen the best citizen among the boys. For this honor he was sent to Boys 7 State for a week. Several juniors participated in American School of the Air programs; these juniors were: Donald Welt, Hazel Campbell, Marilyn Orr, Herman Roesberg, Thomas Kopernik, and Barbara Noble. To close our junior year we planned a party at Babbs 7 on the last day of school. Though the sun was not too bright, our spirits were and everyone enjoyed himself immensely. September 1944. That is a date we will all remember because on that date we entered Suffield High as seniors. We started our busy year by electing Roy Gallant president, Donald Welt vice president, Eileen Sullivan secretary, and Paul Ford treasurer. We insured the success of our yearbook when we chose Margaret Trudo as editor-in-chief. Our yearbook committee got right to work and on November second we had our graduation pictures taken at Brown ' s Studio. Although as seniors we have not sponsored any social events, we have not been inactive. The senior boys formed the Senior Patrol and both boys and girls formed the Senior Dramatic Club. Our play 7 The Christmas Rose, 77 was presented at a Christmas assembly and another, 77 The Unvarnished Truth 7 was given later. During our senior year the Student Council was reorganized and Margaret ' Trudo was elected president. Through the combined efforts of the yearbook committee, the Student Council and the sophomore class a school seal was designed. Our newspaper, ,7 The Readers 7 Reflection, 77 went on to fame with Margaret Trudo as editor-in-chief. We are looking forward to graduation but our graduation will be slightly different than other graduations in Suffield High, for many of the boys of our class will be in the Armed Forces. Joseph Kablick and Jack Fleming have already left for the service and many other boys are planning to leave for the Army or Navy before graduation. We wish all the boys the best of luck in whatever they may be called upon to do. As for the rest of us we shall go on to other tasks but we shall never forget our happy high school days.
