In Memory Of Mrs. Sarah Crocker Hobbs Some people have a special gift for warmth, exuberance, and loving concern for others. Mrs. Sarah Crocker Hobbs, secretary to the principal of Suffolk High School for five years, was just such a person. Her friendly greetings, such as What do you need, honey? 7 ' , and her bright smile never failed to gladden the heart of any student who entered the office. Dedicated to her job, she worked easily with everyone from the adminstration to parents. Said Mr. William Hill, her boss last year, She ' s irreplaceable! That about sums it up. In spite of her love for the school and its students, she resigned from her position at the end of the 1984 school year in order to assist her husband in his business. But in October the entire community was shocked by her meaningless and untimely death, which left an indelible scar of grief at Suffolk High School. Yet alongside the scar are the wonderful memories of Mrs. Hobbs, who was, above everything else, our friend.

Good Things Come In It often seems that the smallest gift under the Christmas tree is the best. Whatever it turns out to be, a trinket of jewelry or money, we find good things do come in small packages. SHS, too, is small; and, like that tiny gift under the tree, we have good things hidden in our package. Because our student body numbers approximately 380, our faculty and staff are able and willing to help with any problem that may arise. They are geniunely interested in guiding us on our way to responsible adulthood. But at the heart of this small package are our stu¬ dents. The enthusiasm they have seems to make our school special. Since we are so small, the school is like a family unit. As senior Karen Sadler said, One ad¬ vantage of going to SHS is that students get more individual attention from teachers. You ' re a person, not just a school statistic. Plus, since we are small, students get the chance to meet and know other stu¬ dents as well. Smallness doesn ' t keep us from many activities and lots of studying. And our pep rallies are so full of spirit that they sound as though a thousand students are yelling rather than three hundred or so. Yes, we are small, but we are loud, energetic, and bursting with spirit. Small Packages
