- o Presented by the SENIOR CLASS OF 1952 SUFFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Suffield, Conn. MAY KNOWLEDGE INCREASE This is our story: The record of our growth, how we learned to cooperate in work and play; how we succeeded and how we failed. Now we emerge at the threshold of maturity. We, like a butterfly newly from the cocoon of youth, must try our wings in a first flight. For many of us, our years of education are over. We must step out into the world of adults and take our place in society. To others, the future holds a place of higher education. But we all go with the hope that our days of learning will continue throughout our lives. In the future, as in the present, it is our wish that knowledge shall increase. There is something which binds the heart of man to home and kind. This pride and love is never failing. So we who call Suffield home” are tied forever by the golden chains which bind the heart. We have much to be proud of. Our fore¬ fathers who planned and worked and built our town have made it a place of grace and beauty. In sum¬ mer it is an emerald set in the fertile Connecticut Valley, with noble col¬ onial dwellings shining as facets of the sun. In winter, the snow turns it into a diamond or a shining pearl, the warm light from our homes sheds a hospitable glow on the twi- light. The seasons change here as in any town. Each is more beautiful than the last. The evening seems to linger with a warm good night, and the morning comes swiftly on the light feet of the wind. To us it is perfect. We see her faults, but they become challenges. The sordid and the beautiful, the com¬ monplace and the unusual, the grace and the awkwardness are mingled and twined into Suffield, and into our hearts. We are Suffield. T hat these dead shall Each morning sees some task begun; each evening sees it close. Throughout our years at Suffield High School, the finest facilities available have been at our disposal. The most modern methods known have been employed to make this period of our lives pleasant, as well as profitable. Here we have received the foundation of otir future; no one could wish for better. Therefore, in grateful appreciation, we, the Class of 1952, dedicate this yearbook, the 1952 Sagitta, to the Suffield High School.

COOLEY Bay Path Junior College School Secretary To provide a well balanced educational program, Suffield High School offers many services to the student. Realizing that good health is essential to every student, a health program complete in every phase has been set up under the administration of Mrs. Rock. Here the student has access to the annual optical exams, periodic physical exams, tuberculin tests, dental services, and the audiometer. Good food, which is so necessary to good health, is prepared in the cafeteria into well balanced, nutritious meals. The office, which is indeed a busy place, has always been efficiently managed by the school secretary, Miss Cooley. Something attempted, something done, they ' ve earned a night ' s repose. (Mr. Bell, Mr. Blakesley) Services Our janitors, Mr. Bell and Mr. Blakesley, have al¬ ways maintained our school in the best appearance. After the games, dances and other social activities they willingly lend their services. Yet, with all these services at our disposal the educa¬ tional program would never be complete without Room 25. With the help of Mr. Greenleaf, the Guidance Di¬ rector, and his assistant, Mrs. Morse, a student can obtain information on any vocation he wishes to pursue. Here each student is privately advised and guided concerning his own interest for the future. Thus, we are greatly indebted to these who serve us in every possible way. We know them not only as helpers and advisers, but also as life-long friends.

Kennett 19 CLASS HISTORY In September 1948, a very excited group of girls and boys entered the portals of Suffield High. The school was not entirely strange to us as we had already completed two years there, but this was something special; we were freshmen! At our first organized class meeting we elected our class officers: president, Maynard Sikes; vice-president, Robert Carron; secretary, Shirley Hill; and treasurer, George Dalrymple. When Robert left school Maxine Spulick took over the office of vice-president. Barbara Gallant and Maynard Sikes represented the class on the Student Coun¬ cil. The most important activity of the year was a picnic, which had as its chief objective a closer unification of the class. Maxine Spulick, Stanley Beneski, Shirley Hill, and George Dalrymple were in charge of the affair. Mr. Sheehan and Miss Poirier were the advisors for the freshman year. We were guided through our sophomore year by the president, Robb Edmonds; vice-president, Maxine Spulick; secretary, Shirley Hill; treasurer, Gail Bishop, and with Mr. Casinghino and Miss Poirier as our class advisors. Our first class project was accomplished by the purchasing of class rings. Barbara Gallant was chairman of the Ring Committee, assisted by Murray Phelps, Stanley Beneski, and Carol Kwolek. Robb Edmonds and Murray Phelps were chosen to serve on the Stu¬ dent Council. During our sophomore year we sponsored our first dance which proved to be a huge success. Nancy Prior and John Buckley were co-chairmen; Carol Towne, Sandra Malcolm, and George Dalrymple also served on the General Dance Committee. The chairmen of the various committees were Advertising, Ann Bogdanski; Tickets, Mabel Richey; Refreshments, Mary Ann Kuras; Entertainment, Gail Bishop; and Decorations, Shirley Hill. In September, 1950 we happily returned to school as juniors. Now we were Upperclass¬ men.” At our first class meeting Shirley Hill was chosen class president; Barbara Gallant, vice- president; Carol Kwolek, secretary; and Ann Bogdanski, treasurer. Mr. Casinghino and Miss Poirier were our advisors. Shirley Hill, Robb Edmonds, and Murray Phelps served on the Student Council. A Ways and Means Committee consisting of Murray Phelps, chairman, Jean Kennett, Robb Edmonds, and William Colson was organized. During the year several food sales were held to help increase the class funds. A dance was also sponsored by the class. However, the largest and most important event of the year was the Junior Prom. Murray Phelps was chairman. The chairmen of the various committees were: Programs, Vivian Jones; Refreshments, Robb Ed¬ monds; Entertainment, Louise Romano; Decorations, Nancy Prior; and Advertising, Shirley Hill. The dance was called Cupid’s Cotillion” and the decorations were planned along the same theme. Shirley Hill reigned as queen over the ball with Ann Bogdanski, Barbara Gallant, Vivian Jones, Sandra Malcolm, Mabel Richey, and Ann King as her attendants. In June, Barbara Gallant and Ann Bogdanski; Murray Phelps and Maynard Sikes were chosen by the junior class and faculty to go to Girls’ and Boys’ State, respectively. Jean Kennett and Ann Bogdanski were awarded prizes in a National Scholastic Writing Contest. In the fall of 1951 a very excited group of seniors assembled in Suffield High to begin the endless tasks leading to graduation. Our class officers Shirley Hill, president; Murray Phelps, vice- president; Carol Kwolek, secretary; and Ann Bogdanski, treasurer had been chosen the previous June. Nancy Prior and Murray Phelps represented the class on the Student Council; Shirley Hill later being chosen president and Barbara Gallant, secretary. Soon after school began the Senior Patrol was organized and directed by Mr. Sisson. Murray Phelps served as captain and Robb Ed¬ monds as co-captain. The seniors held the annual two week magazine campaign. Barbara Gal¬ lant and Robb Edmonds acted as team captains and Mabel Richey and Nancy Prior as the cam¬ paign managers. Through the untiring efforts of the entire class the previous year’s goal was ex¬ ceeded, and as a result several members of the class had the opportunity to go to New York. As usual the class was confronted with the problem of producing a yearbook. Realizing that the editorship must be placed into efficient hands they chose Ann Bogdanski, as the editor of the 1952 Sagitta and Shirley Hill as business manager. To Ann Bogdanski, also, goes much credit for the standing of the Readers’ Reflection in carrying out her job as editor-in-chief proficiently. In the field of sports the senior class members ranked high. Part of the success of the 1951-52 basket¬ ball season was due to the talents of Robb Edmonds, Stanley Beneski, and Richard Barnett. With the combined efforts of the entire team, they entered the Class C Tournament and proved them¬ selves very successful. The senior girls who cheered the boys along in their victory were Shirley Hill, Barbara Gallant, Janet Piejko, and Carol Kwolek. With much enthusiasm, members of the class organized a Senior Dramatic Club, and under the direction of Miss Biggerstaff the play The Shock of His Life” was presented with much success. The play was presented in conjunction with a Variety Show in which many members of the senior class participated. The income from this show helped to defray the expenses of our Washington trip. The class members belonging to the National Honor Society are Ann Bogdanski, Jean Kennett, Carol Kwolek, Sally McConnell, Joyce Parks, Janet Piejko, Mabel Richey, and Maxine Spulick. All the activities which the class sponsored were only minor incidents which provided money for that greatest project of all, a trip to Washington. The itinerary was very carefully planned and included many of the famous sites about Washington. Everyone who took the trip enjoyed it immensely, and it is one which we shall never forget. This project climaxed all our experiences in our many years together. With all the exciting preparation for graduation not many of us realized the actual meaning of the event. But when the long awaited day arrived we understood. We have advanced through the stages of life and now stand before society. Sadly we reminisce the days of our youth. —CAROL KWOLEK 20 CLASS WILL We, the class of 1952, being of unsound but disposing mind, and thoroughly believing that you can’t take it with you, hereby bequeath our unworldly collateral, material and otherwise, to our legatees to have and to hold.

Some have discovered a foolproof method: just look for the future one day at a time. I set out to find what had become of the remarkable class of 1952, for much had been hoped and expected of their steadfast talents and genius. To start with, I looked close to home, in Suffield. In Robert Stoughton I found a sturdy son-of-the-soil who has stuck to his guns through years of change. As he him¬ self expressed it, He’s been again ’em all!” One of his near neighbors is Joe Hryniewicz, who has become a Gentle¬ man Farmer” by means of raising tobacco, the great money crop. However, he still likes to get out and work his own land. In my conversation with him, I asked him if the fertilizer he used stimulated growth. Well,” he said re¬ flectively, I don’t know if it stimulates plants, or if it’s iust so down-right repulsive that they do their durndest to grow away from it!” Red McBride, after making his million as a red-headed movie villain, retired and became a volunteer fireman. He wasn’t a very good one though, because he liked to let the fire burn up good and bright, so that he could see what he was doing. Speaking of fires reminds me of Jean Kennett (not that she has set the world on fire). The whole country is laugh¬ ing at her latest book entitled Who Rang That Firebell!” Another author of note, today, is Murray Phelps. Critics are raving over his book, The Queen Bee”, but from the price, I should say the buyers are getting stung. Stanley Beneski, who rose to fame as a Chimp or I mean Champ in basketball came into an unexpected fortune. A distant uncle of his willed him a share of the well known treasure-trove in Fort Knox. When Stash heard the news, he murmured piously, Yesterday at five in the morning, my uncle and I passed on to a better life.” Of course, this sudden windfall reminded many people that THERE was someone they ought to know better. Mabel Richey, a very successful businesswoman in the insurance field, was wel¬ comed by Stanley as an old classmate, and it is reported that she had sold him a policy in record time. She will tell the world that, Honestly, it’s the best policy.” Anne King, neat and versatile, has become the private secretary of that noted psychologist, Dr. Thomas Carleton Upson. In doing research work on the complexities of childhood, she has discovered one fact of note— Children rarely fear water unless soap is added.” Dr. Upson has a rather unique daffinition for psychology: Common sense put into language no one can understand!” Parks, Prior. From Gloria Paganelli I learned that political affairs are just as bad now as they were back in 1952. As the secre¬ tary of an electioneering candidate she claims that she and the reporters are the only ones who take all that lying down. Louise Romano has become an excellent office worker, but she still feels sorry for any man who hasn’t the imagin¬ ation to spell a word two ways. Joanne Rutkiewicz, I find, did not become the world traveller in Uncle Sam’s navy which she hoped to be, but she now has a very interesting job in a post office on wheels. She cremates the dead letters. Shirley Pedersen enjoys her work as a stenographer, but as she herself says, The trouble with going to work on time is that it makes the day so long.” Carol Kwolek, although now married, still remembers her wonderful college days. One day, in particular, stands out in her memory. On that day, a certain professor wrote on the board a notice stating that he would be un¬ able to meet his CLASSES. A prankster erased the letter C. Suffield has become a world famous fashion center. Joyce Parks is the creator of women’s sytlish hats. Her shop, elegant in every detail, caters only the best. Madame Parks’s creations are so sought after and exclusive, that any woman has a price on her head—if she wears a hat. Her foremost model, whose face appears in the most fashionable magazines, is the charming and curvacious Nancy Prior. Although Nancy retains her maiden name, she is married to a great brain of the scientific world. In jest, she said that she now believes that genius is not only the infinite capacity for TAKING pains, but also for GIVING them. Carolyn Reed, well-known concert pianist, usually re¬ fuses to sign autographs, for her hands are her chief con¬ cern. However, recently she broke this rule in favor of a little girl who said pleadingly, I know your 1 fingers are tired from playing, but mine are too—from clapping!” Vivian Jones, after years of intensive study, both in this country and abroad recently attained an unprecedented suc¬ cess in her debut at the Met. Her word of advice is simple, Success consists of getting up just one more time before you fall.” Susanne Osborn, whose original hair styles were the sen¬ sation of the school back in ’52, has made her charm school a prosperous and popular venture. With due respect to Benjamin Franklin, she says to do well in any enterprise just EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE, WORK LIKE HECK AND ADVERTISE! Shirley Hill and Sally McConnell, by the great combina¬ tion of their charm, talent, ingenuity, and labor have accom¬ plished wonders in the field of social work. They have received the Hobel Humanity Prize for outstanding con¬ tributions in the field of self-sacrifice in the interest of all people. The simple credo which has led them on is If you lean over backwards being fair, it’s harder for your enemies to kick you in the pants.” Ann Bogdanski has found a field which requires the full amount of her time, energy, talent, and wits. She is mar¬ ried. While she gets a great deal of pleasure out of her family, she also knows that handwriting on the wall isn’t a miracle; it merely means that there are children in the house. For the benefit of Muzzy Barnett, who recently became a nroud father, I’d like to quote this tid-bit. Here’s a fact; That’s unmistakable, The second baby Doesn’t seem so breakable. Donald Martin is still a blushing bachelor. A bachelor, in case you didn’t know, is one who can’t get over the notion that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever. In Don’s case—who can tell? Maynard Sikes, that universally known genius, has dis¬ covered a machine which can pick up all the sounds ever made in the world (up to now buried in the upper layers of stratosphere). This will certainly be of value in clear¬ ing up historical inaccuracies; but Maynard, have you thought of the possibilities for blackmail? Bruno Kaplan, who always loved to tinker, now runs a very modern jet garage. His wife says he just putters”, around but every one knows that puttering is a woman’s word for a man’s work. The field of nursing called three members of the class of 1952, and any one of these self-devoted girls in white will tell you, as they did me, that the highest reward of toil is not what one gets out of it, but what one becomes by it. Nancy Waterman, who used to be famous for her quick laugh, had quieted down and become the calmly detached nurse who only smiles faintly at what patients say under ether. Janet Piejko, always slender, looks as crisp as a spike of white hyacinth in her crisp uniform. She still blushes, though. Carol Towne, as a bit of philosophical medical advice, gives this prescription: The world would be a different place if most people would take themselves with a grain of salt.” King Edward Chase III, always a royal jester, has taken his place among the immortal pranksters of the screen; his great dramatic talent being first discovered in that senior play, The Shock of His Life.” Quite seriously, he says, Humor is the joy of Kings and the solace of peasants”, and I add, Long live the King!” George Dalrymple has taken up Rocket racing, and the thrills and chills horrify and fascinate his spellbound audi¬ ences. These are also the wine of his life. He has his own designer, who personally drafts every machine which the great Flash” uses. This is Ronald Lothrop, who also carries the orders of the crowned heads of Europe, and the most fabulous princes of the Orient. George Alexopoulos has found to his surprise that Cupid doesn’t always catch one with a swift-shot arrow. Some¬ times little Amour sneaks up behind and stabs one in the back. Another thing he has discovered concerns gardens. He now knows that a thing of beauty is a JOB forever. Ralph Nodwell, as a busy executive, now vacations in Florida. Recently he was somewhat nonplussed to receive a card from his staff saying: We hope you’re enjoying your vacation as much as we are.” Henry Zukowski, always quiet, was caught in the web of matrimony early. Women apparently like strong silent men because they think they’re listening. Matthew Zarzycki, U.S. taxpayer, signed up recently for an extended tour of the universe, because, as he put it, he was tired of having the United States on his payroll. Stanley Ross, as a wealthy mink farmer, finds that women respond most dramatically to two things—Minks and Mice However, he concedes there is a slight difference in the nature of the response. That great boxer, Robb Edmonds, is well on his way to the championship and is confident of success. Of his com¬ ing bout, Billy Sutkaitis, his manager, says, Being no cigarette, Robb certainly hasn’t met his match. His oppon¬ ent couldn’t even lick a postage stamp. No, I have no doubt of the outcome of this fight.” Dorothy Donnelly, in spite of the ballot of 1952, is well married. She finds the patter of little feet comforting, for then she knows they aren’t in any mischief. Barbara Gallant, taking her high school Tri-Hi-Y oaths very seriously, has been steadily working for the good of the community, and Suffield at long last has its own movie theater. The theater is, as she says, a great equalizer. That’s one of the very few places where the poor can look down on the rich. Maxine Spulick has joined the ranks of the wedded, but not until she had her fling at college men. To me she quoted a brief limerick: College girls Are of two strata. Those with dates, And those with data. Need we guess which layer held the vivacious Mackie? ' Sandra Malcolm, after working for a time as a model, was spotted by Hollywood, and now has earned her title as the most demure maiden in movies. Helen Cruse, the country’s leading policewoman, has been dubbed Pistol Packin’ Mama” by her colleagues. Rose D’Amato showed up at the office where she worked the other day and began to hand out cigars with blue rib¬ bons on them. A small tag stated: It’s a boy, six feet tall and weighs one hundred and eighty pounds.” John Borowski has become an expert surveyor, and has just finished surveying Mt. Everest. A feat which, though difficult, he swears is on the level. Sally Gallant knows all about shirts so strong that they laugh at laundries—some of hers have come back with their sides split. Jane Martinez, always thrifty, complained to a garage at¬ tendant that her car used up too much gas. The choke was out so he asked her about it. Oh, that,” she replied happily, I don’t know what that is. I just use it to hang my purse on.” Geraldine Jackson, although very fond of music, still hates to be waked by over enthusiastic song-birds. She calls them Macbeth-birds, because they murder sleep. Sutkaitis, Edmonds The queen and her court reigned supreme! Jones, Bogdanski, Hill, Griffin, King, Malcolm, Gallant. Night of ecstasy and fairy stardust sprinkled on pink clouds of joy, music of angels and magic, gone in a moment of bliss, leaving only the glass slipper of memory to sparkle forever undimmed. GRAND MARCH UNDERCLASSMEN These are the kids we’ve teased and ribbed, worked with and com¬ peted with through our years here. Without them, school life would have been very different. School is a ladder of learning, divided by classes and united by the common purpose of education. Like smoke, the climbers rise and then disappear, only to be followed by more. The days flow on as a river, unchanging, yet transient, speeding its way to the sea. Easy There! Hill, Austin , Carney Elcock, Fetko, Dimmock CLASS OF 1957 30 Thirst for knowledge quenched! Galetta, Matyskela, Chase, Davis. Reader ' s Reflection Staff. The Reader’s Reflection, a bi-monthly paper, has received a first place award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for the past several years. Much’effort is put into this paper by both students and teachers alike. Various staffs, such as the editorial, art, typing and mimeographing, and the reporting staff work together to produce a paper containing class news, who’s who, sports, stories, etc., under the direction of the Misses Biggerstaff, Bond, and Poirier who give their helpful advice to make it a worth-while paper. The pen is mightier than the sword! Parks, Ineson, Miss Biggerstaff, Bogdans ki, Piejko {sec.) Conley, Grahowski, Hill, Gallant, Jones, Kwolek, Spulick, Paganelli, Wood. Duce! Bogdanski, Ineson Ninety-nine per cent perspiration ... Parks, Chase, Bogdanski, Piejko, Kennett, Towne, Kwolek. He who leads must also follow! Mrs. McCloskey, Bogdanski. Oh arrow, fashioned with pain and care, you are our joy and labor. Within your walls we, years from now, will find the breath of life now lived. You are the vault of well kept memories for the future, the symbol of the present, and our farewell gift to our friends. Oh arrow, fly swift to the hearts of your listeners, and keep our memory green. Oh joy and headache! Manager Hill. Sales, Sales, and more Sales! Romano, Waterman, Hill, Martinez, Prior, Cruse, McConnell, D ' Amato, Rutkiewicz, Pedersen, Paganelli, Chase. Their work is pleasure! Spulick, Jones. Oaths well kept! (1st row ) Rapacki, Tobin, Beneski, Barnett, Tjikowski, Osowieski, Phelps, (sec.) Mr. Pine, Dalrymple, Edmonds, Giblon, Upson, Spaulding, Stoughton. The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y, fellow organizations of the YMCA, have achieved recognition by joint effort and individually, although still in their infancy. Some of the more outstanding enterprises have been active participation in the Hartford Mock Legislature, organizing and running a Care Drive, sending dele¬ gates to the National Convention held in Cleveland, and making Thahksgiving Baskets for the needy. The laurels for these successes belong to the advisors, Mrs. Ganley and Mr. Pine, as well as to the fine attitude and cooperation displayed by the members themselves. Glory well deserved! Kwolek, Spulick, Bogdanski, Parks, McConnell, Richey, Piejko. For those whose work speaks for itself, that pin symbolizes honored recogni¬ tion justly earned. The quiet, conscientious, and steadfast, the brilliant, genius, and soaring meet on the common ground of scholastic honor, and gravely, proudly receive acknowledgement. As strong as the will to serve. (1st row) Noble, Conley, Kennett, Gallant, Ineson, Martinez, (sec.) Spulick, Burt, Mrs. Ganley, Hill, Romano, Noble. Mingled notes and harmony blended. 1st row. Bigger- staff. 2nd row. Bishop, Spulick, Hansen, Lewandowski, Bene ski, Spulick, Jones, Zavolich. Absent were Lincoln, Dzielak, Gaughan, Chapin. In Suffield High music is an important part of study as is shown by the offering of both Boys and Girls’ Glee Clubs, the Band and a music appreciation course for the students of junior high school. This year the Glee Clubs and Band took great strides forward under the able leadership of Mrs. Loretta Hansen and Miss Biggerstaff. The climax of the year came in the spring when the combined groups of the Glee Clubs and Band put on the annual spring concert. Dining made difficult. Hungry husband! Gallant, Sullivan . We can because we think we can. ' This is the motto of an organization which has been growing considerably in the past few years. Under the guidance of Mrs. Ruth Morse, meetings are held bi-monthly with faithful attendance. The officers are given Roman titles to make the club more realistic. Latin students are able to learn much more about Roman background and culture through short plays enacted by students in Roman style. To add to the enjoyment of all, games are played and refreshments are served at the end of each meeting. The climax of the year is the annual Roman banquet, in which each member takes part. Connubial Vows! Sullivan, Gallant, Kwolek. OflO Now listen there! Chase, Prior, Waterman. Miss Biggerstaff, Waterman, McConnell, Reed, Spulick, Towne, Parks. 2nd row’. Barnett, Chase, Upson, Sikes. Here is that which opens like a full bloom rose—those talents unsuspected, lying shy, silent, and unknown within the bosom of our class. For all, the toil is pleasure and the time speeds by until the night of the production. Then, in bright brief moments, all is ended in a blaze of triumph and glory; but for those who have participated, it never ends. Wilbur! Upson, Chase . STUDENT COUNCIL This group, under Mrs. Morse, has been working steadily and cooperatively to promote that united feeling which should bind every student to his Alma Mater and to his fellow students. Our Student Coun¬ cil has sent representatives to other schools in order to study their systems and bring back new ideas on the functions of such organizations. Mrs. Morse has infused a fine spirit of interest and enthusiasm into this group, which has made it active and eager to achieve. This year a committee, headed by Susan Burt, has been working on a hand-book which will clarify the rules, ide als, and customs of our school. They have also been planning a Mind Your Man¬ ners t week to stimulate a greater awareness of the common courtesies. Shirley Hill, as president of the Student Council, has thrown all her charm, ability, and energy into the task of increasing the influence and authority in our school. We live to serve! Levy, Hill, Ineson, Bene ski. Perpetration of law and order! SENIOR PATROL One of the first proud functions of each year’s senior class is the selection of members for the Senior Patrol. The well known duties are carried out with such pride and pleasure that no insignia is necessary to recognize a Senior Patrol member. Win, lose, or draw! The school year of 1951-52 saw Suffield High’s soccer team achieve its greatest season. The scores were as follows: Portland 1 Glastonbury .6 Bloomfield . 1 East Hampton 2 Portland 0 Glastonbury 1 Bloomfield .2 East Hampton 1 Suffield.1 Suffield.0 Suffield.2 Suffield.0 Suffield.2 Suffield 0 Suffield 1 Suffield.2 This soccer squad was the largest in the history of Suffield High School. The team was capably led through its victories and defeats by the captain Danny Sullivan and the manager Joseph Lewandowski. Stanley Beneski, Robb Edmonds, Richard Barnett, Stanley Ross, and Edward Chase were the seniors on the squad. These, along with all the other members, were trained by Coach Brown and Assistant-Coach Egan. Swift to the completion of our goal. Thomas Upson Stanley Beneski Richard Barnett Edward Chase The 1951 baseball season saw Suffield High with a young and inexperienced team with a lot of fight and drive. The team played the following schools with the resulting scores: Canton 5 Suffield. 0 Windsor Locks 12 Suffield .5 Ellsworth 10 Suffield. .1 Berlin . 5 Suffield. .1 East Hampton 1 Suffield .3 Bloomfield 13 Suffield .5 Portland 13 Suffield. 0 The loss of six out of the seven games played was attributed to the lack of experience and a consistent long ball hitter. Nevertheless, the outlook for the 52 season is much brighter. Several promising freshmen will replace last years graduates. Joe Lewandowski, too, will be back to swing his bat once more. America ' s Game! (1st row) Chase, Waterman, (sec.) Ineson, Donlon, Chase, Barnett, Upson, Kraiza, Edwards (3rd row) Mr. Brown, Sullivan, Tobin, Bigger staff, Wood, Mr. Thawley. Joe Lewandowski Danny Sullivan Robb Edmonds Stanley Beneski Richard Barnett Merwlyn Spaulding Billy Edwards James Sheridan 297 points 295 points 209 points 137 points 95 points 34 points 29 points 18 points Sullivan Barnett It started as a Saturday morning little league and grew until it reached the top. The boys fought long and hard to hold a dream of vic¬ tory. Being tied for first place in this year’s basketball league is indeed an honor to the team, the coach, and the school. By making such an excellent showing dur¬ ing the basketball season we were given the opportunity to play in the Class C Tournament in New Britain. We dr ew for our opponent the Simsbury team who went ahead to become the Class C champions and against whom we put up a courageous but fruitless battle. Grand laurels go to our team, to Mr. Brown for his guiding hand, and to the school. We backed them up every minute, win or lose. For these are our boys, the citizens of tomorrow, bringing to life the true meaning of clean sportsmanship.

Sullivan Managers and Coach. Upson, Brown, Chase Beneski Levy Edmonds Do or die! Throughout the twenty game schedule, and then into the tournament, these six girls share the glory and heartbreak along with the basket¬ ball team. Without these morale builders pos¬ sibly many games that were won by only a few points would have gone down as defeats, if these lasses hadn’t been there leading the spectators in cheering their team on to victory. O, Captain, My Captain! Rick ' em, Rack ’em. Team, Team, Team! Can we do it. Sky high. Up, up, and away. Girls are able to take an active part in any number of sports throughout the year. In the fall, the fresh, crisp, autumn air leaves the girls with ruddy cheeks after an exciting game of soccer or field hockey. Before the first snowfall, the girls are already playing basket¬ ball with much enthusiasm. Each class organizes a team and intramurals are held after school. The present senior class has been the champions for three years. Spring and baseball come hand in hand as tryouts are held for positions on the girls’ baseball team. So, as one can see, the girls can enjoy a different sport for each Tweet! season. Arc de Triumphe! Our wings have lost their down, and now, bearing the hopes and dreams of the aged upon our backs, we must spread our wings and leave the sheltered nest. There is no sorrow, for the flow of life must sweep on. Every time is an ending and a beginning. Ours is the joy of fulfillment; ours is the weight of trust. 48 Congratulations to the members of the 1952 Graduating Class. The training and knowledge you have acquired at Suffield have prepared you to take your place in the nation ' s business and professional fields. The opportunities before you are unlimited. May suc¬ cess be with you in future endeavors.
