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.

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.

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.
