SAGITTA presented by CLASS OF 1953 SUFFIELD HIGH SCHOOL Sufficld, Connecticut OUR HORIZONS This is our yearbook, a chronicle of the way we have lived for six years; it shows the places we have known and the people that have influenced us. How¬ ever, Sagitta is an arrow. It is an arrow leading us from our past and pointing the way onwards towards . . . what? We, the Class of 1953 are leaving one great phase of our lives to embark upon a greater one. A broader horizon lies before us. Story Time at Mrs. McAlister’s Kindergarten! Youth at work in the The arrow in many of our lives started in Suffield, with its farms spread out on rolling country¬ side and quiet village the center of activities. Those of us who moved here in later life have become enchanted by the peace and beauty of a lovely New England town of early American tradition. The arrow has carried us through the formative years during which, in nursery and grammar school, the world was such a large unconquerable object and school days were s-o-o-o long. sixth grade room. St. Joseph’s Church, a symbol of religion. So many things have influenced us that they all could not be named; our homes, our friends, our schools, our churches, all have contributed to make us what we are today. The arrow travels on over our high school years and at our graduation it shows us great horizons which lie ahead. DEDICATION MRS. BARBARA D. GANLEY Mrs. Ganley, during our six years at Suffield High you have been our class advisor. You have always stuck with us in our schemes as foolish as they might have seemed.

I was scared, but happy as I started the new life of a freshman. Sept. 20 . . . Today we elected our officers: Danny Sullivan, president; Shirley Howard, vice president; Sue Burt, secretary and Ann Mirow, treasurer. Oct. 3 . . . With Lois Ineson elected as our Student Council member, we are pretty well set to settle down to a year of studying and fun. Dec. 21 ...We had our Christmas party today in the cafeteria, with a grab-bag and games and refreshments. It surely was a lot of fun. Singing carols at the end really put us in a festive mood, for vacation. January . . . mid . . . years are coming . . . oh, why didn’t I work harder? May ... In the spring a young man’s fancy ... oh how can we concentrate in this weather. June . . . Farewell Suffield High until September when were Sophomores! (SOPHOMORE YEAR) Dear Diary: Oh where did the summer go! It’s back to school as sophomores ready to renew old friendships and meet and greet the new kids. Sept. 20 . . . just elected the officers: Danny Sullivan, president; Ann Egelavage, vice president; Norma Chagnon, secretary; and treasurer, Shirley Howard. Nov. 5 . . . Had a lecture from Danny on making money. He said something about needing it when you are a senior but that’s years off. Oh well, we have to humor him I guess, so on Nov. 18 we’ll have a food sale. Nov. 18 , . . Sale went off without a hitch . . . maybe there’s something to this money business, seems nice to have a bank account. Nov. 21 ... we got our rings today, now we really are part of S.H.S. Oh! mine’s getting a little dull, I’d better go shine it. June 3 . . . Been awfully busy with studying all winter. We had a picnic at Babb’s today—oh if I ever see another hot dog I’ll die. June 7 . . . school’s almost out so we decided to jump the gun and elect next year’s officers; Danny is president again; Donald Wood, vice president; Ellen Conley, secretary; and Merwyn Spaulding, treasurer. So long till next year. (JUNIOR YEAR) Dear Diary: In reviewing I see now that we had quite a busy year. We had few foodsales and then on November 3 we suonsored the Down Hofers. An unprecedented affair which turned out to be very successful. Had a paper drive, but to this very night I bet the papers are still in Danny’s barn. Our big event of the year was our prom, the Springtime Fantasy. King and Queen were Joe Levy and Helen Larson. My but she looked just darling. FLASH’. Lois Ineson and Ann Egelavage were chosen to go to Laural Girls’ State and Merwyn Spaulding and Dick Stewart chosen to go to Nutmeg Boys’ State. We jumped the gun again by electing our next year’s officers again. They are the same as those this year. June 11 . . . Our picnic at Babb’s climaxed our junior year and more hot dogs! (SENIOR YEAR) Dear Diary: My, how the previous years have fled and we are, at last, seniors. This is supposed to be our busiest and happiest year of all. We chose our Student Council members, Joe Levy and Dick Chapin. Following this class meeting we got started on our magazine campaign by choosing two teams. Captain? Susan Burt and Dick Steward. Our main aim was to beat last year’s class. We did naturally and Susan’s team was the victor by a very slight margin. What a wonderful yearbook we are going to have! Just look at the editors! Lois Ineson, Editor; Donald Wood, Associate Editor. The Senior Dramatic Club presented ’’Sally Takes a Bow” at the Varsity Show and with the sale of Christmas cards our bankbook began to be better reading. Susan Burt, Clara Squires, Mary Ann Bell and David Gaughan were selected to go on the trip for the sale of magazines. The Washington Trip, Our Banquet, Class Night, Graduation and the life of a senior is busy. This is our past . . . now comes the present and following the future . . .

PENNSYLVANIA PRISON RIOT ... 1953 . . . SUFF1ELD HIGH GRADUATES NO. 40 . . . Yes, a bright and glorious year, the turning point in the lives of many of us — the year the Republicans gained possession of the government — the year forty bright-eyed, carefree students were graduated from Suffield High. Let us glide through future years; in these years both happiness and sorrow prevailed, but we have accomplished something, we have made a place in this world for our¬ selves — now voters in this thriving modernistic chrome- plated age. Ah, yes, but for a moment let us reminisce, the basketball team, four of the Big Five seniors; the corridors forever echoing many of our voices, the new Senior Patrol, the digesting of knowledge which flowed inside Suffield’s walls but while the curtain of fate slips aside, let us step into our future. Remain with us for a little while to see us the men and women that will now face life as Citizens in the United States of America.. Doctor David Gaughan, who is known in the East as one of the biggest and best operators, today performed one of the most difficult operations of his long career—the removal of an appendix through the esophagus. - Doctor Gaughan was assisted by none other than Madame Janet Marie Rague, recently voted the Ideal Nurse of the Year. Well two of our classmates have certainly reached the top of the ladder of success. Betty Biggerstaff is now married to a tall, handsome Texan and lives in Texas. Since Betty was always the out¬ door type and longed for the wide open spaces, she is very happy there, and her guitar sure came in handy. It took someone from the 1953 Senior Class to put Suffield, Connecticut on the map and it was our well-known and liked classmate, Susan Burt. As you all know Susan is the first-woman candidate for the President of the United States. She’ll have some load on her shoulders, but the way politics are today, she’ll succeed. How can Susan miss with Judy Anderson as her campaign manager. She might not get many votes from the women, but she can charm the fellows with her beauty as she did back in Suffield High. Jimmy Sheridan, center of the basketball team in his senior year, realized just how much fun it was being the center of attraction. He also realized how much the bus ride to away games meant so he combined both and he now drives the bus to every away game. Of course Jimmy wouldn’t be satisfied with a regular school bus so he bought one cheap and painted it blue and white, added duals and seats that can be made into beds. You can imagine how popular he is with the team now. Larson’s Speedway, the first woman-run track in Suffield is now operated by none other than Helen Larson, our former classmate. She always did like big crowds and lots of excitement so last week she signed up two world- renowned drivers, “Hot Rod” Borowski, and ’’Whizzer” Spaulding. These thrillers ought to draw a big crowd. Bobby Hinckley has just finished piecing together his new type of car that proved to run smoother yet faster than any other car in the world. It took him so long to put it together that he can’t remember how he did it. He says that he won’t take it apart again just to know how he did it in the first place. After winning a trip to New York in the U. N. Essay Writing Contest, Lois Ineson decided that she would like to write and produce motion pictures. Her latest one is called ’’Firemen in the Last Balcony”. I’ve heard it’s the best produced by Lois so far but after all she did have first-hand experience . . . how about it, Lois? Seeking an efficient and talented young lady to manage her confidential papers, Queen Elizabeth has chosen Ann Egelavage as her private secretary. This honor will be bestowed upon her tomorrow amidst a great colorful ceremony. We all regret that Shirley Howard is leaving all her friends in Suffield to accompany Mario Lanza on his musical tour throughout the United States. But maybe it will turn out for the best, because now everyone will hear the beautiful voice she possesses. Pat Hoyt who wanted to be a social worker, worked her way through college by baby sitting. On one of her social visits after graduation she met a very nice fellow whom she lost contact with while she was in college. Pat always thought that the woman’s place is at home and you can always find her there now. Guess who I bumped into at the West Suffield Grammar School this morning! Why it was none other than our old classmate, Emily Grabowski. She’s still unmarried and says Nowadays it takes all our energy to teach these kids so that we have to retire at seven o’clock each ni ht or else ... We just don’t have any time for extra activities. Same Emily all right! Ellen Conley who was the captain of the cheerleaders back in Suffield High advanced far into her field of cheering. Ellen is now not only modeling cheerleaders’ outfits every afternoon in New York but she is also teaching the New York cheerleaders some of the cheers that were hits at Suffield High. Gosh that does bring memories back! Always anxious for a successful rally and a good bon¬ fire, Danny Sullivan and Joe Levy have reached tbeir goal in life. They now go around and build bonfires at various schools supplying the matches. The school spirit was really rising until Joe and Danny got the directions mixed up a little and set the school in fire. The only spirit then that rose was the School Board’s but the fire didn’t get too far because some sensible person summoned Fire Chief Charles Giblin and his Five Fire Fighters who had the fire out in no time at all. Barbara Whalen has a very interesting job where she can study the characters of many people. She is an usher at the Paramount. Now she can see the double features for nothing. Remember that cute little girl who always drove the huge gray Packard? It was no other than Norma Chagnon. 20 Well it seems that every time Norma wanted to go faster there was a cruiser ready to nab her, so Norma took to Auto Racing. She is now the World’s Auto Racing Cham¬ pion but she still gets a thrill breaking the speed laws. Florence Burel, who is now the proprietor of a large firm, says that every time she starts to dictate a letter to her young secretary she only hears, What, another letter!’’, or I didn’t get half of that letter!’’ or, Whoever thought of shorthand?” Doesn’t that remind you of Miss Bond’s shorthand class back in ’53! Betty Van Allen is now Editor of the Young Romance” magazine. A magazine for young adults and their problems. So if you have any problems just send them in to Betty and you will get the very best advice. Huh, Betty? Mae Kandal is now a fillibusterer in Congress. Lately she’s been complaining that she doesn’t get enough pay, but she says that there is the only place she can do anything with her talking talent. Donald Wood is now modeling men’s sportswear. He says he likes his job very much only he never realized he could attract so much attention from the women. Mary Ann Bell made quite a success in music. After taking vocal lessons for several years she made many sensational records which became hits. She also sings occassionally in the Metropolitan Opera, which I under¬ stand, has been remodeled to the image of the Strand Theater. You know they didn’t want Marianne to feel out of place. I don’t think Mr. Chrisoulis knew what Clara Squires would be getting into, but driving a car wasn’t enough, she wanted to do something more exiting. So one day while driving by Bradley Field she spotted a plane ready for take-off. Well, you can imagine the rest. Clara has now made several Trans-Atlantic flights and from experience she says, Take it from me, one thing you don’t have to worry about is trees and telephones poles.” Irene Rutkiewicz holds a very serious job that requires attention, thought, and cleverness. She is now news com¬ mentator on C. B. S. (The Corny Business Station). Being captain of the Senior Patrol certainly had a big effect on the life of Dick Stewart. He is now head of the Connecticut State Police and has set a new trend in their uniforms. He now requires them to wear armbands but believe it or not he finds it easier to have them keep the bands on than he did trying to make the seniors wear them. The telephone company has immensely benefited by employing Shirley Leavitt as one of their telephone operators. They say that Shirley has such a pleasant voice and such courteous manners that since they employed her there seems to be many more long distance calls. Shirley Edmonds who was our sports champ throughout the years of Suffield High is the first woman slugger to play in the National League. You can be sure the Yankees will win all the World Series now. Richard W. Chapin, world-famous by this time, has achieved a position making him the envy of everyone who has a yen for adventure. He is now mining diamonds way off in Africa and by the way he’s drawing them out with his magnetic personality. I presume you have all heard of that novel Bring Them Back Alive”. Well it certainly pertains to Phyllis Norrie, who is capturing live wild animals in the African jungles for Clyde Bailey. Just like Phyllis, never a dull moment. Janice Buckley is happily married to Duke but she has quite a time keeping the little Dukes and Duchesses from getting into mischief. She says they’re only quiet when they’re asleep! After long years of study in Paris, Pearl Norrie has become a fashion designer. Today she is using her great talent efficiently as she is Hollywood’s No. 1 fashion designer. Working as Business Manager for the Reader’s Re¬ flection Gladys Bogdanski realized what an excellent head for business she possessed, so after graduation she took off for Wall Street where she is employed in a Stock Market. I hear she’s doing quite well and has her eyes open for any available Texan who meets her qualifications. They are: money, wealth, and fortune. Charles Rapacki is proud to be the first human being to reach the top of Mt. Everest. Before he left to accomplish this dangerous climb, he said he would have done it long before only the women were always chasing him! Emma Drake, who was known for her quiet, sensitive manner, realized she had the qualifications of a good secretary and applied for a job where she was quite welcomed. By the way the name of the firm was Calm, Cool, and Collected Corporation. Barbara Adams has revealed her secret formular for the beautiful golden hair which she possesses. Some im¬ portant Cosmetic Firm in New York bought it up and Barbara received quite a feasible sum which put her on Easy Street. When asked how she feels about it Barbara replies Just a chance of a Lifetime . Pat Morrison, who recently won a fortune on the Ford T. V. Program, decided to live in New York, but Pat got tired of the bright lights, gay music, and late hours and returned home. Ah yes, we have swiftly passed through years of happiness, joy and sorrow but now the curtain through we have peeked is about to fall. It is time to face the present and hope—hope for security, prosperity, and in America as we have always known it—America The Beautiful. 21 • ' .c. Then you dance, dance, dance King and Queen Joe Lewandowski and Helen Larson presiding over their court of Anderson, Morrison, Ineson, Howard, Norrie, Burt. To the strains of the music of A1 Strohman’s Orchestra, beneath a ceiling of blue tent cloth and stars, white bucks and levis are exchanged for dinner jackets and gowns. Tonight we dance and tomorrow we tuck away memories with our corsages and tiny dance programs to be ever¬ lasting reminders of gaiety. Behind the scenes hostesses K. Orr, Norrie, Phelps, J.

BASKETBALL Originating in our grammar school days, develop¬ ing further while in junior high school, improving still more as underclass; and with sweat, toil and great diligence, finally crystallizing during the’52- 53 season to a degree near our fondest dreams of yester¬ day—this was our basketball team—our pride and joy—one of the school’s finest as well as one of the league’s best.
