OUR SCHOOL BOARD There must be a board of managers for every working organization, and it is in this capacity that the School Board serves Suffolk High School. Many important decisions come from them, and their efficiency in handling such matters i largely responsible for the grow th and development of the entire school system. OUR SECRETARIES Shaking of efficiency, what would we do without our secre¬ taries? Miss Thornton is always ready to help students look for things in the office and sign their excuses in the morning. And Mrs. Stallings can answer any question anybody asks! Thanks for all your help! Miss I »« r«»lhy Thornton Mrs. Helen Stallions

OUR COUNSELOR AND FRIEND Mr. William T. Harry Principal You’ve heard of the little man who wasn ' t there? Well, here ' s a man who’s everywhere! We find him in the office, in the halls, in the class room—even down town at a Rotary meeting. And you all know that our basketball and football games just wouldn ' t be complete if Mr. Harry weren’t there. At times, however, it seems that he can appear at most inopportune moments. Anyone who is out of his proper place during the third period can lx- sure of meeting Mr. Harry just around the comer. I -s»st year we found in our new assistant principal a leader who could be depended upon and a friend who could be trusted. This year we have come to icspect him even more and to realize the value of his splendid assistance and willing cooperation. I 7 |

ARITHMETIC. ALGEBRA. GEOMETRY. TRIG Mrs. Estelle Seward MATHEMATICS Kuo” times Foo” equals Goo ; therefore Goo” equals Foo” squared or something. This is just about how much our math teachers think we know. But they just don’t understand! It ' s hard tor us to concentrate on square roots now a-days. And what can we do about teachers who complain that there aren ' t enough examples in the book for us to work and make up a lot of extras? But in spite of all our complaints, no high school curriculum would be com¬ plete w ithout a good math course, and that is just what Suffolk High has to offer. Selections may be made from a variety of courses—general mathematics, algebra, business arithmetic, plane and solid geometry and trigonometry. There are no finer teachers anywhere, ami we have proof of this. Our bo vs and girls who go away to college where higher math is required are always well- prepared. So—thumbs up to math! This is just one of the many problems which Mrs. Seward’s Solid Geometry class tries to solve.
