THE 1951 Presented By The Class of 1951 Snffield High School Nuffield, Connecticut ► This is... Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself had said, ' This is my own, my native land ' ? 4 II. S. 1.

Knowledge is power . . . and this is where we quench our thirst . . . The Kent Memorial Library on the green. This is our town—Suffield is our heritage. Heat waves shimmering over fields of green tobacco; red and yellow leaves burning in every lane; snow lending an ermine cape to our majestic mountain; delicate green buds showering tree lined streets after Spring ' s first kiss—these things we will remember, for they are part of us. Suffield is a quiet town. On either side of Main Street white colonial houses are set back on rolling lawns, while in the outlying districts the predominant dwelling is the big old-fashioned farm house. Our churches are characterized by the simple charm of their Early American design. But Suffield is young and modern in its thinking, for the ideals and concepts on which it was founded are as alive today as they were in 1680. And we are Suffield ' s children—the ideals are ours to uphold! royce d.

Boston University Stenographic Training A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with r ows and rows of objects classified with name and number ; in Suffield the faculty is comprised of teachers who stress development of character rather than devouring textbooks verbatim. Starting with a cultured compatible staff, who, as well as being professionally competent are interested in students and in the community, the four main objectives of Suffield High are met. To bring about self-realization by each student, fostering good health and worthwhile recreational and leisure interests is essential, in addition to giving the pupil a functioning knowledge of speaking, reading, writing and figuring.

Boston Unive rsity Physical Education, Science Secondly, the instructor endeavors to promote a sense of social consciousness in the student by exemplifying and approving of respect, cour¬ tesy, co-operation, and self-control in the class¬ room as well as tolerance, democratic attitudes, friendships, and appreciation of the home and family. Yet, to succeed after Suffield, we must recog¬ nize and develop our vocational aptitudes also. Here again, the teaching staff, abetted by the subject matter of various courses, indoctrinate us in the mysteries of the economics of private enterprise, labor problems, and unions. Personal buying, choices, skills, and occupational infor¬ mation is available to aid the student. Ruth A. Morse, A.B. Mount Holyolce Latin, World History, Guidance Advisor George D. Greenleaf, B.S.

University of Connecticut Home Economics, Dietician Within four years, most of us will be qualified to vote, and our faculty helps us to understand controversial subjects by teaching us critical judgment. That we may have a true sense of our civic responsibility, we are taught the funda¬ mental details of social justice, community parti¬ cipation, law observance and world citizenship. The guidance department offers information, advice, consultation, and a final decision of our own. Teacher observation reports and the Boston University testing service form a solid corner¬ stone on which to build our plans. The guidance program has its culmination each year in Career Day, when professional authorities speak and answer questions concerning their vocations. Helen T. Klimazewski, B.S.

Thawley, A.B. Boston University Social Studies Hazel M. Cooley Bay Path Junior College School Secretary This staff, however, within a few years, must be augmented to meet the needs of our growing community. The estimated increase in enroll¬ ment will be forty per cent five years from now. This, of course, will necessitate an expanded plant; it will mean more money from the tax¬ payers to cover this increase in Suffield s educa¬ tional plan. But no matter how our alma mater grows, we can hope that our brothers and sisters—and yes, maybe our children—will have the advantage of as fine a staff as we have had. ...the way to live Mary M. McGuire, R.N. Saint Francis School of Nursing School Nurse The modern miracles of dynamic thought come home to intrigue and shape pliable young minds to the ways of analysis and reason. (The Prosh meet Mr. Morse and electricity). School dap... They all want something, especially when reference reports are due. The haystack needle CAN be found. That is the axle! The Driving Class learns how to ride, not walk, home. Readin ' ' n Vitin ' ' n Vithmetic, and a lot more besides; from shop to typing, from chem to cooking, there is a course to prepare us for after school life without resort to the hickory stick. In the spring of our eighth grade year, we selected courses after consultations with our par¬ ents and faculty. Those who planned a business career selected the commercial curriculum and set out for their classes armed to the teeth with typing erasers and stenographer ' s notebooks. For those whose goals were undetermined or who planned to labor immediately, a general course of study developed a broad background and some training. College hopefuls enrolled in the college preparatory course and embarked on a rough sea of language, history, math and science. Since July, Korea has posed a personal problem in democ¬ racy. (Donnelly, Kraiza, Nodwell, Egan). ...School daze A Bond is a promise to pay— and this class, they hope, will pay after graduation. 13 All work and no play . . . makes school boring and students dull. Here the appeal to all senses as well as reason overcomes the ennui that breeds inertia. Audio-visual instruction (radio, movies, slides, records), sci ence (abora- tories, student discussions, special readings, and individual projects take learning from the rote of text into the realm of activities enjoyed. But PEOPLE still provide the best source of experience for learning, and from the faculty comes individual consideration and wealth of fact. Add thereto trips and assembly programs (professional and student), and our emphasis on PEOPLE is evident. Yet with all, problems arise and help is needed. Room 25 supplies ideas but decisions must be ours. Let this Globe be the center of your universe right now! Trust the English Department to immortalize the immortal Bard for each generation.

Lights out as science increases visual perception and illustration of a social problem. Our tempera¬ mental projector is increasingly evident in class . . . some gum, no popcorn. The social side of the student is developed through Suffield ' s many clubs. In these recreational groups, students strive toward a common goal, practicing co-operation, tolerance, and democratic attitudes. These extra-curricular activities may lead to a life career, but the respect and courtesy prac¬ ticed, and the friendships made here will remain with us. For many, this is the relaxed side of school, where fun and friendship, parties and people pro¬ vide activity and a certain maturing. For services rendered and honors achieved, the National Honor Society key is affixed. (Noble, Larson, Mr. Sis¬ son, Root, Parmalee, Ineson, Dunai). We, the People, Speak... Now this is our ideal (Donnelly, Edmonds, Mr. Mac.). On Parents ' Night the Student Council, through a public meeting, attempted to explain its organization, responsibilities, and functions. On this occasion it made available to other groups the opportunity to explain their purposes and value to the students. (Here, Secretary Hill reads the minutes of a previous meeting). Honor, Honoris, f. Being a school, it is fitting that SHS should recognize its leaders in achievement, character, service, and student activities. The National Honor Society, Sigma Chapter, is open to students who maintain a B average during the first three years of high school, and also show a controlled mature nature in leadership, character, and service throughout. Selection is made on the basis of record and the recommendations of the faculty. Of our group, only Pat Noble was selected when a Junior. The Student Council is designed to be the sounding board and intermediary between the students and the administration. Composed of class presidents, club leaders, and home room representatives, the group is free to criticise, suggest, plan, and act in the solution of problems confronting the school and pupils. But its strength is derived from the calibre of the representatives selected by the students and therefore is only as effective as they are responsible. Leaders The Leaders ' Club is comprised of athletically minded girls who have been elected by their own gym classes. In addition to determining the girls sports awards, they arrange the schedule for the intermural basketball competition. At the after¬ school contests, members from classes other than those playing act as referees and scorekeepers. The aims are to develop initiative, skill, respon¬ sibility and sportsmanship as well as to promote class spirit. The Senior Patrol members were appointed to posts after the joint recommendations of Mr. Sisson and a committee from the senior class. Charged with establishing the example for under¬ classmen, they are responsible for setting and maintaining order, not only between periods and in the cafeteria, but also during fire and air raid drills.

To Create, Established at Suffield in 1946 during post-war activity enthusiasm, the Hi-Y (Boys) has proved most durable and enthusiastic in offerings founded on high standards of Christian living. Its sister fraternity, Tri-Hi-Y, was organized in Maintain, Extend—” 1949 to provide similar ideals of clean speech, sportsmanship, scholarship attained under YMCA guidance, through conventions, mock legislatures, ceremonies, and enlightened living.

Curtain! Curtain! And this curtain rang down on a play that never was. The Juniors couldn ' t find a MAN, a leading man (not one volunteer for all that pulchritude). However, a later success will approve their efforts. (Ken- nett, Paries, Towne, Osborne, Prior, Spuliclc, Waterman, Reed, Piejko). Phantasia We ' ll bet that is a slick deck they ' re using and someone will get a fast shuffle in this rehearsal scene. (Towne, Kennett, Parks, Osborne, Waterman). Three is definitely a crowd when THIS is in order but the Juniors seem to have dealt the stand-in a nice hand. (Prior, Spulick). 20 No Comedy of Errors this! Miss Biggerstaff ' s Senior Club met diligently for five months to prepare for one hour of tinseled glory in the hushed stillness of the auditorium. Variety Night is an institution at Suffield, where interest in the Thespian art runs high. The proceeds go to the Senior Class Wash¬ ington Trip, and the Junior Dramatic Club donate their talents for the cause. Directed by Mrs. Fay, their other production is presented for the student body in assembly. Miss Kelly ' s group, a new organization com¬ posed of junior high schoolers, proved their worth with a well-received comedy.

Music, Music, Music Under the professional leadership of Mrs. Jolidan and Mrs. Convey, the musical activities have as their goals the cultivation of an apprecia¬ tion of good music and a love of singing, as well as ability in execution. Chief among these activi¬ ties are the two glee clubs which divide their weekly meetings into three: vocal exercising, harmonizing, and singing pop favorites. Music appreciation courses as well as choral singing are included in the seventh and eighth grade curricula to ' pave the way for future achievements in the glee club and orchestra. Instrumental music is furnished during the year by the student orchestra for other schools and at community functions, as well as for assemblies. Mrs. Jolidan, who instructs some of the members, co-ordinates their endeavors into a unified musica effort. The climax of the year ' s Terpsichorean labors is the annual concert held in April. The Girls’ Glee Club, in gowned splendor, joins the Boys ' and the Orchestra for an evening of blended harmony. The thrilling strains of young voices singing rises up to greet the welcome Spring.

Write Makes Might The Columbia Scholastic Press Association Awards Board has recognized the merits of student literary efforts as expressed and pub¬ lished in the SHS Readers ' Reflection, and yearly increasing circulation indicates student enthusi¬ asm and interest. Homeroom reporters augment the writing staff in gathering and presenting the news and stories. Seized upon by an ever-rushed publications group (clerical), the Reflection is caught up from the clattering mimeo and exchanged quickly by Circulation into coin. The Advisor—Editor team re¬ views its handiwork: Miss Big- gerstaff and Pat Noble re¬ examine and criticize. SUCCESS!

Cost: black coffee, midnight oil, pink eye, chewed fingers, sore temper, broken dates, and a lesson in invective. This, our SAGITTA, was first a hope, a sweet young dream. Then suddenly February was upon us and we were oppressed, repressed, and de¬ pressed by that black monster, the DEADLINE! The idealistic conception of a perfect SAGITTA became a grim reality, and haunted by the ever present problems of copy, sizes, money, and senioritis, we spent many a sleepless night and foggy day. Organized to pay for and to gain this book, Paf Noble seems very calm and patient, explaining the sales cam¬ paign (usually, there was a wild haggard look) and Laura Parmalee pictures sweet and serious (rather than rushed and distraught). lee, Ridel, Nodwell, Tkacz. Grandeur Is a Dream Ah, Imagination! Blue tent cloth, iridescent tinsel, paper silhouettes, a mock pool but real goldfish, and flowers from everyone ' s gardens were transformed for the evening into an en¬ chanting, fragrant terrace under a starry azure sky. The orchestra poured forth sweet music from a dark and secluded corner as the sssh, sssh of movement created a special accompani¬ ment. All dances at Suffield are come late, go early affairs, and plans for the after-party snack were as important as the dance itself. But, tonight, a queen with flowery crown and winged slippers . . . tomorrow, a classroom Cinderella with pressed corsage and dreamy memory. While basketball is the primary interscholastic sport , equal emphasis is placed upon its deriva¬ tives, friendliness, knowledge of other schools, and co-ordinated endeavor, that are true of all our interscholastic sports. However, interscholastics are but one phase of the health program; addi¬ tional time and emphasis is given to classwork, physical education and intermurals. Extraordinary means are taken to insure that each student is physically fit through physical examinations, dental hygiene, eye tests and the lunch program. 1950: This year we build character.

FI1TB0L Soccer is not the major sport at Suffield High but it does have its own part to play in the health program. It provides, perhaps more than any other sport, rugged outdoor exercise. Soccer, because of the large number on a team, allows many boys to take part both in the scheduled games and in practice scrimmages. This active participation plus the necessary good sports¬ manship required in such a rough sport make it the ideal choice of the fall program.

Fundamental Positions!!” Now, let ' s understand each other— at the scorers ' table, a quick pre-game look-see at the BOOK and the CLOCK. (Blakesley, Brown, Thawley). Lacking a quantity of natural athletes to produce consistently successful teams, Suffield is handicapped in interscholastic soccer and base¬ ball competition. Basketball, on the other hand, which requires fewer really good players for a winning squad, has permitted creditable representation in the Central Valley League year after year, and these Height makes might in the era of basketballing giants.

In addi¬ tion to interscholastics,there are intermurals and junior high school games, popular with boys and girls, not only for their own physical benefit but also for the development of players for the JV and varsity teams.

Under Mrs. Sanley ' s rough and ready aegis, it is THE haven for wild-mild, high-low spirits. The one remaining girls ' interscholastic sport, softball usually is anything but soft with the competition for places and the aversion to gloves. Scores run high, voices shrill, and tempers flare. Let ' s go, gang. Ready to take the field, ready to do or die—fresh and enthusiastic now, tired and talkative later. A victory, of course! Softball offers too short a season for a full interscholastic league schedule, but enough home-and-home games are avail¬ able to create and maintain a buoyant spirit of aggressive competition.

Not ballet; but basketball — maybe. The eyes have IT. rs Growing pains, hunger pangs. A hush ripples and settles over the field of humanity.

Our parents and friends and gowned faculty, like the profuse flowers, are here to note the demise of our high school years; but more than that, they have come to mark our newborn maturity. The paths we seek lie in many different directions; the arrow of destiny is our own to propel. Our years at Suffield High have pre¬ pared us for our future, and we leave happily confident that a good end is a good beginning.
