The Principal ' s Corner Suffolk High School students are caring, thoughtful, and supportive. This year ' s senior class has proven its leadership abilities in academics, athletics, and co-curricular activities. As a first year principal, I have been excited by the achievements and proud of the behavior exhibit¬ ed throughout the year. It is said that cream rises to the top, in the case of our student body it is most evident. Large amounts of canned goods were collected and given to the Salvation Army for those in need. The DECA club collect¬ ed personal care items for senior citizens and distributed these items during the Christmas season as the club members sang Christmas carols at each home they visited. The Tri-H-Y has sponsored a school clean up, the blood mobile, and visited a senior citizens home three times a week talking, playing games, and getting our senior citizens out for some exercise. This year ' s Senior Class has demonstrated leadership ability in Foot¬ ball, leading our team to an 8-2 season; Basketball, finishing second in the district; and in art by winning all three places in the local Art Competition. One of their most recognizable feats was putting this year ' s Peanut ' ' together... which I judge to be of the best! Is there any question that Suffolk High Students have made my job easy and enjoyable? I have felt at home from the minute I walked through the doors. And for all of this I say — Thank You — and keep up the Hard Work! Michael ). Debranski Principal

S uffolk High has many special features that make it a great school, but this would not be possible without the impressive guidance of Mrs. Laura Morris. She is more than just a dedicated math teacher; to her students she is also a real friend. Many afternoons, when most teachers have gone home, Mrs. Morris has a room full of students eager to learn more about math and computers. Her work involves much more than teaching; she is a junior sponsor, always striving for fund-raisers that will insure a great prom. One of her favorite hang-outs i s the concession stand during basketball season, selling everything from popcorn to M M ' s. She is determined to meet any challenge that comes her way. Mrs. Morris goes that extra mile to help a student understand. She can relate to teen-ager ' s problems by just being a friend! She always has helpful advice and will provide constructive criticism to encourage improvement. Laura Morris gives of herself every day only to receive a Thank You. The student body salutes Mrs. Laura Morris for her dedication and devotion. We appreciate every¬ thing she has done to make S.H.S. the BEST! An APPLE (HE) for the teacher who is the apple of our eye! 3

As students in a more complex and substaining society, you must learn, learn and learn! Good grades mean a great deal, but more important is what you learn. You come to school to learn; you leave to serve your fellow-man. Remember that all you give to the lives of others will return to your own life. Learn all you can and give until it hurts. )ohn E. Jones Assistant Principal Students, Thank you for the fun and challenge of being with you as you mature into young adults. So much to learn, so many changes, such important decisions ... I like to think that Suffolk High School people provide a caring environment that encourages your growth. Each of you is unique and has special gifts. I hope you will always remember and try to live by the S.H.S. motto: Each gives his best. Frances L. Alwood Guidance Director 5
