Huge McG. Watson Harvard College A.B. Colombia University M.A. Harvard University Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools To the Class of 1962: Not only is graduation a time of fin¬ ishing a phase of your education, but also it may be a starting point for many fine opportunities. There are education¬ al challenges ahead for all of you, whether you enter a vocation immedi¬ ately, join the armed services, or enroll in a college. Rapid advances in techno¬ logy and increasing demands of intelli¬ gent citizenship require you to strive continually to keep your education up to date. More and more adult education opportunities are developing through evening courses, through television, through universities, through the arm¬ ed services. Your education at Suffield High School can form a foundation upon which you may build further. Through your efforts to date you have won a diploma — through your continued ef¬ forts you may add to the significance of this diploma. Congratulations on your past accom¬ plishments which have earned you this distinction. Best wishes to you in your future endeavors as you bring credit to yourself and to the standards of Suf¬ field High School. Hugh McG. Watson

Mr. Atkinson Miss Biggerstaff We cannot think of Room 28 without seeing ourselves lined up at the blackboard plodding our way through one of Mr. Green- leaf ' s “quickies”. Those of us who are college bound are certainly glad we can do those “quickies”. Speak¬ ing of the college bound we find it difficult to believe that we would have gotten as far as we have if Mr. Greenleaf hadn ' t spent so much time telling us the details of filing applica¬ tions, taking SAT tests, etc. Our scores on the Verbal section of the SAT tests were probably much improved by the work Miss Biggerstaff had done in pre¬ paring us for the tests. We can also thank her for a great deal of knowledge of college English. For these reasons and many others, we, the Class of 1962, are proud to dedicate this book to our class advisors. Mr. Greenleaf Mrs. Parry

Howard C. Brown Springfield College BS., M.Ed. Principal To the Class of 1962: We hope you have enjoyed your years at Suffield High School. It has been interesting to see you grow and develop from eager seventh graders to confident seniors. May this growth and develop¬ ment continue through the years—your goals achieved, your success established, your dreams come true. These are all possible through determination and ef¬ fort. Soon you will be traveling your separate ways. With a solid background, your task will be easier. Your teachers join me in wishing you success in the future. We hope you will continue to think of us as your friends and visit us when time permits. One of the gratifications of teaching is to help the youth of today become the leaders of tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how well we have done our job. May each of you enjoy a happy and useful life.
