Suffield High School - Sagitta / Kaleidoscope Yearbook (Suffield, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1968 volume:

The arrow, though straight itself, often makes a crooked path. As well as the support of the sturdy wooden how, it needs a steady hand, a dedicated eye. Be careful not to hunt in No Hunting zones. Point the arrow in the right direction. Release it with as much effort as you need. And pray that no obstacles appear. Before you know it, the arrow will strike something. Bull’s eye! The arrow will remain embedded in the target until you pull it out. If it is destroyed, you can always make a new one. 1968 SAGITTA SUFFIELD HIGH SCHOOL SUFFIELD, CONNECTICUT We are the music-makers.

Wandering by lone SEA-BREAKERS , We dedicate our yearbook to the Armed Forces in Vietnam IN APPRECIATION It is exciting when adults in their busy world take time to advise young people and give them the benefits of their knowledge and age. Such fine individuals are the senior class advisors Miss Libby, Mr. Bryant, Mrs. Fay, and Mr. Howard, who in their unceasing devotion and aid have made our four years of high school a memorable and personal experience. Also vitally important to the senior class has been the energetic yearbook advisor Miss Thibeault, without whom this publication could not have existed. The senior class wishes to thank these unselfish friends for the many instances of kindness they have shown us. 7 ARTHUR J.

W)RLD-LOSERS AND WORLD-FORSAKERS, 75 •IIMOIIS We ' re the Juniors. We marched into this school with our best foot forward. And we had our minds made up that we d work until we could feel proud of every thing we did. Our efforts have been rewarded in knowing that we are well prepared to become the school leaders next year. This is the result of our desire for achievement and respect. We ' re more than glad to support any cause and accept any challenge that will bring honor to SHS. SOPHOMORES We’re the Sophomores. All aspects of high school are interesting to us because of our interest in them. The combination of our imagination, vitality, and desire keep us working our hardest and best. We like most of the experiences we’ve had because we learned a lot from them. Now that we understand things a little better we want and need more privileges and responsibilities. And we’ll work to get them. _liSlUlIEjll And we’re the Freshmen. Right from the beginning we really became involved in the activities of high school life. Our enthusiasm has led us to success in learning, sports, clubs. We know the next three years are going to be tough. But we also know that whatever we or other people gain from our struggles will make everything worthwhile. We want to help maintain the friendly spirit of SHS. 82 Sophomore advisors taking their job in a serious vein are Mr. Davis. Mr. Baker, Mrs. Mitc hell, and Miss Thibeault. Ellen Kent was chosen to live in South America for ten weeks during the summer preceding her senior year. She was Suffield’s first Latin American Open Door exchange student. In Orsorno, Chile, she enjoyed the company of Beatrice Mohr and her dairy farming family. Ellen participated in activities typical of South America, particularly at a private day school for children of German descent, while showing her charm and good will. She returned enriched with the knowledge of many foreign customs and with the memories of many good tim°s. For ten weeks beginning with October 28, 1967, Ellen was hostess to Rosa Maria Peralta from Guatemala. Rosa enjoyed visits to Mount Snow, Mystic, Sturbridge Village, New York, and Washington D.C. “Chochy appreciated her opportunity of learning at Suffield High School. Her sincerity and friendliness won her many friends in America. Suffield’s pride in Ellen and Rosa is limitless. MATH CLUB If you take the cube root of the hypotenuse AB. divide by the quantity 4tT. and add a little Descartes, the result is bound to be the Math Club. Computers and slide rulers and compasses. Every other Tuesday, H period they go off on tangents to find cosines. Protractors and equations and programmed learning. CHESS CLUB All the king ' s horses and all the king ' s men. Moving the king ' s rooke 3 to the king ' s bishop 4 — checkmate! Long minutes of thought on Thursdays end the day with a cry of victory from Chess Club members. Mindreaders. A rolling carpet of black and white, black and white ... STUDENT COUNCIL Responsible for the hobos at the school on Hobo Day. These hobos contribute money for SHS ' s new foster child. Franklin Quintero. The money they spend on tickets for Hobo Day helps pay for the Foreign Exchange Student ' s ticket to South America. At the tea in the library Rosa Pcraulta had cider for the first time. Nobody caught the ildcat Fever at the Pep Rally sponsored by the Student Council, because everybody already had it. Learning parliamentary procedures so they can serve as capable precedents of how the students should act. Selling book covers so everyone can have their books covered for a couple of months. The link between the student body and the administration; the administration and the student body. Service, scholarship, character, leadership. Mr. Ouillette shook eac h shaking hand. A parade. They put down their pens for one day and received their pins A star-lit candle. Appraising applause. Kxit stage right. Snitching chrysanthemums. A luncheon at lunch time with the parents. A full day. First comes first aid. Bandages, thermometers, Baetine. A bunch of girls get together to watch films, listen to speakers, have discussions, do research work. You don ' t have to needle them if you want to get some advice about nursing. Learning how to help mankind. The beginnings of endless dedication. FRENCH CLUB La vie est excitant and so is Le Cercle Francais, the French Club. Pere Noel and Bingo and washing sidewalks with toothbrushes at initiation. Que veut dire que veut dire? Madame Watt gave an exciting speech, Mr. Connelly showed exciting slides, and the club put on an exciting banquet. Did you know that the Eiffel Tower is 11.808 inches high? C’est la vie. 92 HttBili! LATIN CLUB Modern members of the classical age. Initially, they have an initiation. They start off the year on the right foot —wearing two different shoes, carrying books in pillowcases, rolling eggs with their noses. Project Roman banquet. 1 hey rebuild the Roman Empire at workshops. Rehearsals. And then the real thing. Masquerade party. Quadeamus igitur. A procession. A session of skits. Finally, they have a feast. Attended by slaves, the masters eat on the floor. Classical members of the modern age. RED CROSS Springfield Hospital patients received stockings stocked with fruit, candy, candles to sweeten and brighten their Christmas. Seminars at Hartford and discussions. Service on Society. 93 And so it began. We few with little and much in common began —an adventure. On treks through mountains of pictures and books and diagrams we discovered picas and cropping, uppers and lowers, dummies and ladders, and found ourselves not wise, yet wiser. We followed a new sun on the horizon called a light table: knew the dark shadows that chased us through Teem bottles and empty M M bags and called them deadlines. Every 5 weeks we brownpapered the shadows and sent them to Kansas: darkened the sun every night at 5 and waited until the next day... dividers, designed layouts, created a cover, planned and replanned. We joked, worried, laughed, cried, slept, discussed, ate, and when it was all over sighed very comfortably. We were so many things in the beginning and were so many more in the end. No longer few but one, not only wiser, but wise. We were a year and a school. We were the Sagitta. Thanks for being you, Kathy FFA Green thumbs. And maybe some black-and-blue thumbs. On many days they have sport ' s nights and parliamentary procedure contests with other towns. A $150 prize in a landscaping contest —they make their living from the land. There’s been talk about the public speaking contest. For sale: Christmas wreaths, poinsettas. Faster lilies, lettuce and tomatos. On Fall field day they identify bushes, trees, flowers. On Spring field day they judge meat, poultry. And they try to shift their way into first for the tractor driving contests. Brains and brawn. LEADERS CLUB Athletically minded, they mind athletics. Their goals: keep scores straight, straighten out such difficulties as when to have foul shots, ties; tie themselves together in co-ordination to show how to play sports, use equipment; equip girls with confidence to impnrve ability. And they have to have their eye on the ball. — LIBRARY Books and books and more books. Assistant librarians. Taking attendance, checking books out, sorting and cataloguing, and even pasting folders in the backs of books. For this they give up their study halls. All of those bookworms at SHS keep them busy. In charge of what the students read. Collecting fines, checking books in. MONITORS Busy. For example, an initiation, waitresses at the Pops Concert, a cookie sale. Juniors and Seniors did practice teaching for experience (and adventure!) —it paid to babysit before, didn ' t it? Many members tutored fifth graders. Helping others to help themselves. Speeches by Mrs. Riley and Ellen Kent and Mr. Greenleaf. Headin ' and writin ' and Tithmetic. In the FT A they ' re training today for teaching tomorrow. Preparing themselves. Satisfaction is guaranteed. FTA 97 THE CONDUCTOR From their musical chairs, they play notes that run throughout the auditorium. Number after number after number. A combination of noteworthy selections. And they ' ve never blown a song. Melodies multiply every time A BAND OF BAND MEMBERS they perform. Divided into sections, they played in such affairs as “South Pacific” and the Pops Concert. They added rhythms and tunes to many lives at t h ‘ Christmas and Spring concerts. The subtraction of any member would be of NCCC BAND negative value to the band. So they had to raise money to buy band uniforms for the new members. Sitting down on the job on stage. They keep so much time for practicing that they have to be good. It can easily be noted that they are unbeatable. They play to beat the band. CAMERATA CHOIR ALL STATE CHORUS ALL STATE RAND DIVISIONAL RAND It has been heard that these singers and instrumentalists are the cream of the crop. Raised on platforms on stage. Picked from the top of the barrel. The best of the bunch. They reach a point high on a scale of ability. The choirs sing up a storm of applause. Maintaining harmony at concerts. And when the bands are tuned up the audience is sure to tune in. It sounds like Suffield High has many well-voiced and dextrous students. THE DIRECTOR CHORUS ROBED CHOIR A Christmas carol sing out on the town green —these singers were built up to perfection with many rehearsals. And then their voices melted in the air. Snowmen. Christmas and Spring concerts. Practice made perfect. Do’s, re’s, and mi’s became doremi’s. The evening ends on a happy note. The finale of the year came with “South Pacific.” A love story plotted on an island. The two groups did a professional job —paid with applause. Show men. LUY AND ALL THAT JAZZ Cleanliness is next to Godliness. You never looked at me like that! You ' ve just walked into hell. I’m letting them air out, O.K.? ... 7 he play is memory. Why I remember one Sunday in Blue Mountain when your mother was a girl .. . So what are we going to do the rest of our lives Amuse ourselves with the glass menagerie? The patterned schedule of school work is broken up by activities in the background. Enthusiasm is kindled in September. It serves as the fuel for accomplishment. Spreads to everyone. This ac tivity enlightens the students. The energy they possess is given off. Warming the whole school. So each person glows with his own achievements. Hot on the trail to success. Leaving imprints in June. A SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION OF ACTIVITY Yet we are P ' THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS OF THE WORLD FOR EVER, IT SEEMS. FROM KICKOFF TO GOAL Rou I: J. Rowley, G. Scott, R. Meleski. T.

The NCCC champions seemingly patterned their whole season around this statement. Off to one of the slowest starts in recent history, the Suffield soccer squad suddenly jelled at the midway point of the season unleashing a highpowered offense and an invigorated and stubborn defense on its hapless conference foes. With seventeen goals in five games the Wildcats clinched the NCCC crown with a 5-2 victory over Ellington, the only team in the conference to beat Suffield in two years. The desire and determination that Coach Galiotsis inspires in all of his players is bound to make Suffield the power in the NCCC for years to come.

BILL WHITE GOES ONCE () KK LIGHTLY SHS HARRIERS Track, called the individualist ' s sport, was designated a team effort by the members of the 1967 championship team. With remarkable depth in every event the Wildcats proved to be overpowering, going undefeated in all conference meets. Unlike most sports, a championship in track is not based on the total seasonal record, but on a conference meet at which every team has a chance to capture the N.C.C.C. crown. In the spring of 1967 the Suffield track and field team asserted its superiority over its conference foes in the conference meet with a tremendous and stunning victory. With a great many of these talented champions returning, Suffield should again be the team to beat in 1968.
