'SUZZY' AND FRIENDS: A fox squirrel befriended by students in the biology and science classes at Forsythe Junior High School has in turn repaid the compliment by becoming their mascot. "Suzzy," discovered with his leg in a splint by two Forsythe students, is shown receiving attention from (from left) Richard Palmer, student teacher; John Iverson, eighth grade science student, and Tom Colvin, ninth grade biology student. "Suzzy" not only likes to be fed nuts, but he likes the students to crack them for him. Students removed the splint, the source of which has not been determined.
