' EXERCISE, GAMES, HEALTH “A sound mind in a sound body!” We students believe that the Ntjve ' .opmcnt of our bodies is as important as the training «if our minds. Therefore, we like physical education because, through it. we build and maintain strong, healthy bodies. Most of us really enjoy the varied program of the physical education depart meat. However, there are some who think it ' s too much trouble to dress in their uniform; others don ' t want to disturb that finger wave. But woe to those who don ' t dress for “gym”! They may find themselves lacking in a semester or two of the six which are required for graduation. Our physical education teachers have planned courses which meet the needs of each of us. We enjoy soccer, baseball, volley ball, ping pong, basketball, soft- ball. and tennis with intra-mural games in each sport. What would school be like without gym ? irip the handle right and swing around. ' ' Mis- Pittman i teaching her class how to lie good tennis players. [IKJ

REFERENCE, READING LIBRARY Silence! Quiet! How often we see those signs or hear those words in the library! How often we wonder why we have to be so quiet about the whole thing! We know really, though, that talking has no place in the library, that silence is essential for concentration. The library is one of the most popular places in school. It is the place where we go to do reference work, or to get a good novel to read, or to see the latest issue of some popular magazine or newspaper. During the third period so many of us want to go to the library that the number has to be limited to only those who have reference work to do. However, at all other | criods of the day, in the early morning, at lunch time, and after school in the afternoon, the library is o|x n for us to use. And another good feature about our library is the cooperation and help we get from our librarian. Miss Edwards, ami her student assistants, in finding materials on whatever subject we need. Certainly we have learned that this is a place where both teachers ami pupils find valuable materials in their work. Each year the library adds many new Imoks to its list. The teachers select many that they need in their work, ami the librarian chooses other titles that she knows will be popular with the students. The magazine rack is perhaps the most used section of the library, offering peri¬ odicals to satisfy a wide variety of individual interests. In order to have them always available, these magazines are never taken from the library. For hard, concentrative work or for an hour of quiet leisure there is no better place than the library. Mbs Mary Edwards “Qnii t, please! You ' re making loo much noisi !” Quiet is necessary for work ami study. Don’t forget it! H71

ACH Suffolk High School stu¬ dent whose picture follows here Is loyal to the school and has ideals which he holds dear; Kach one will some day know the truth that knowledge is power Built up and up through learn¬ ing. and likened to a tower. Among these students there are those who, through their work, will gain Recognition and renown, and so. success attain; And there are cithers who. alas! unless these lines take heed— Will drift along oblivious of the knowledge they will need. So awaken ! All you dreamers, join the thinkers in this school; Take advantage of these golden years, resolve to be no fool! To each the opportunities of learning are the same. Strive for that education which each of you may obtain.
