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.

Shaft of Light Staff! Staff! What Staff??? 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.

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.
