AS OTHERS SEE US Elisabeth J. really ean enjoy a good joke and manifests this by her outbursts of hilarious laughter. She and her Dodge” were ever ready to serve us. Remember that cute little editor-in chief of our Senior yearbook? Certainly, we could not help remembering “Skunk. Dependable, capable, fun-loving, and good-natured is Mary Virginia. Willie’s whose?” and “what?” make her outstanding and gain much success for her. Splendid leadership and sportmanship are her chief characteristics. Virginia appears very quiet and reserved. Her chief interests are not known to most of us, but we hope she has much success in whatever she undertakes. Earle has a chronic ease of inertia, but he “could if he would. He loafs for a while and then surprises us with a H5. He never loafs though when it comes to basketball: lie ' s quite a star! I.ittle but in proportion is Myrtle. She cares little for velocity in her talk and walk, but— she wins the opposite sex. and how!! Margaret M. is a born athlete and a basketball player of whom Suffolk High proudly boasts. She is loved by all. All work and no play would make James a dull boy seems to be his motto. Jiminie certainly did his part toward the success of our yearbook. He is a good sport at all times. Bill’s wit and humor are the secrets of his personality. Mis’ sly deviltry always furnishes the class with amusement. Last but not least—Bill is a “cracker-jack at basketball and debating. In truth, Di is the best all round”—-however, her avoirdupois doesn’t keep her classmates from liking her—her genial disposition outweighs this. Addie our clown! Like all jesters, she ean say the right thing at the right time and get away with it. But. as fate would have it, she has her troubles-—bovs. Dick, our big blond farmer, didn ' t think lie could wait until June to graduate, so he finished in February. He is some “punkin, and does he know his onions? We know he will meet w ' ith success in life. Ellen-—that quiet and sedate brunette—is especially talented in art. Ellen’s agreeable disposition wins for her many friends. • Thomas is diminutive, but attracts much attention—in fact, valuable goods come in small packages. He is a real Gabriel at tooting” a trumpet. Silent but wise, slow but sure; Jape, always a good sport in whatever he under takes, is a good student and has made an excellent basketball manager.

I t ' ( THE CLUBS During the session 1931-’32 the clubs of Suffolk High School made a greater advancement than ever before in the history of the school. With the help of its enthusiastic members each club has advanced in its particular field. Let us review briefly the clubs of old Suffolk High. First and foremost is the Senate, around which the other clubs function. Under the leadership of Mr. Chase, the sponsor, and Joe Russell, the president, the Senate has accomplished much toward the betterment of the school. The Burger Dramatic Club, one of the four major clubs of the school, with Miss Chandler as its capable sponsor and Lula Windley as its president, has reached its goal in dramatics. Their play “Nothing but the Truth which was presented in the spring, was a great success. The Forensic Club, organised to train speakers, readers, and debaters occupies an important place in our club life. It has gained this position through the assist¬ ance of Miss Woodyard, its sponsor, anil Dyck Rhod: s. its president. Our literary organization, the Foe Literary Society, has accomplished well its purpose to teach and explain literary geniuses and their works. Miss Yates is tin sponsor, and Jimmy Murphy is the president of this worthwhile club. One of the newer clubs of the school is the Commercial Club, which is composed of the students of the commercial department. Under the guidance of Miss Lingo, its sponsor, and Margaret Brothers, its president, it has attained an important place among the other clubs. The Girl’s Monogram Club, a club organized for the benefit of the girl’s who ob¬ tained letters in the athletic activities, has not functioned efficiently on account of its youth;” however, its beginning makes us feel that it will lead to greater things. Miss Greene is its sponsor and Margaret Manning, its president. The Boy’s Monogram Club, a club of great interest to the athletic stars of the school has helped arouse the boys to show a greater interest. The boys have obtained maroon and bluck windbreakers and are planning to establish a club room. Twcnt y-four 1 9 3 2
