Be it the cooking of a dinner, the sewing of a dress, or the setting of a table, each stu¬ dent learns something that will be useful in her future life as a wife and mother. INDUSTRIAL ARTS In our Industrial Arts classes we endeavor to train the hands ... as well as the mind. Within the walls of the Industrial Arts classrooms . . . boys, or young men ... are learning to make a piece of wood or leather come alive and take form. These men may build our roads . . . construct our bridges, or simply provide the ebony lamp for our den. No matter how large or small the job . . . their task is important for themselves ... as well as others. WILLIAM CHARLES GILE Gorham State Teachers College B.S.; Mechanical Drawing

Art ART DEPARTMENT As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.” Sir Lubbock, Lord Avebury Beauty must not be lost in this world of automa¬ tion. The purpose of art is that of inspiring people not merely to look, but to see into the life of things. Our art department, led by Mr. Christopher Horton, believes that creativity should be a facet of every student. Whether building a book end or painting an original oil and reaching beyond, formal knowl¬ edge gained in art courses are the key objectives. RAYMOND H.

Junior High General Music, High School Vocal Music MUSIC DEPARTMENT Participation and growing skill in music is a joyful and satisfying experience which lifts the individual to a higher level of satisfaction than is provided by most of life and therefore increases the sum-total of human happiness. Through a planned program of activities in listening, singing, reading and creative areas in music; and through the establishment and maintenance of choirs, bands and ensembles of outstanding quality, and by offering a sound general music course featuring a variety of music activities at the Junior High level; and by offering electives in music theory and music appreciation at the High School level, we hope we are providing the maximum musical opportunity for all Suffield students.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WILLIAM H. ATKINSON Springfield College, University of Connecticut, B.S., M.Ed. Physical Education Dir. of Athletics Coach of Basketball EVELYN R. SIKES Southern Connecticut State Teachers College B.Ed. Special Class MRS. ARTHUR L. FISHER University of Connecticut Ky. Wesleyan College B.A., Librarian Physical motion—co-ordination of the mind and body Before you is an athlete, moving gracefully. His hands, feet, eyes, and brain are all part of a complex organism. Each must do its job smoothly and efficiently for the organism to function properly. TEAMWORK. The ath¬ lete himself uses this idea in his games. Only when he moves smoothly and efficiently does he aid the co-ordina¬ tion of his team. The athlete works hard to gain skill and precision. PERSEVERANCE. From September to May the athlete department of Suffield High School has brought honor and recognition to its students; and it gives character and sportsmanship to all those concerned whether they were members on the field or members in the stands.
