In the far Distance: School A s the summer drew to a close everybody could look back and say Where did it go! Days passed especially quickly for students who had jobs. Winn Dixie, Golden Skillet, Holiday Ice, and even Darden’s Egg Farm provided a little extra moolah for students. Tim Rice, a fry boy at Golden Skillet stated, “At least I don’t have to bum dollars off my dad. When the work was over, students were attracted to any body of water within their reach. A pool, any pool, the beach, and even the point in Riverview provided an oasis for those burning rays. And if one didn ' t work, there was always a suntan to cultivate. “Nothing to do” was a favorite summer activity of students. “Nothing could include being with friends, just rapping, or viewing the afternoon t.v. traumas. “99.9% of the time I was bored stiff, but friends and soap operas helped me through the day, sighed Nita Fanny. But as summer activities started to wind down, school activities filtered in. Starting the gear-up early, both cheerleading and football started practice the first of August. Searching and rummaging, Sharon Mahon and Gail Simpkins pick up school supplies. F.ten in the summer, pigeon-hole slufTcrs Miss Richey and Belva Boone arc al work. Orientation for freshmen and new students familarized them with the school and building on August 31. As the time drew nearer and nearer for the first day of school, it was realized that the luxury of barefeet was gone, with shoes and decent clothing becoming the order of the day. During the summer the effect of the switch wasn’t felt. “I came back expecting the same old things but I was very suprised at all the new people, declared Teresa Babb. It was talked about, but no one really had a clear picture of what it would be like until school started. 16 SUMMER WIND-DOWN

Switch D eadlines, decisions, and staying up late. That’s what working on the Peanut staff was all about. It meant decisions like using Hobo or Etruscan type, choosing pictures of individuals or groups, or deciding copy length. There was the decision of switching from a fall delivery book to a spring delivery book, with a summer supplement. It meant deciding how to make money to pay for a four thousand dollar book. Switching from a sixth period journalism class to an after-school activity meant sacrificing other responsibilities in order to produce a quality book. The theme was “Switch,” which related to the rezoning of Suffolk Public Schools. In addition, the theme reflected the change in seasons and decades. Through meeting early deadlines in October, the book was enhanced by color pages and a color cover. In meeting all the deadlines on time, a summer supplement was provided by Josten’s. To assist a section editor, Dabney Carr arranges pictures on a spread. New Beginnings P romoting Christian ideals through service to the community and school” was the goal of of Coed Hi- Y. The club had its “rebirth” after two years of non-existence. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Lena Small. Coed Hi-Y got off to an early start by hosting a district conference for other Hi-Y clubs in the area in September. At the conference, members found out about the Model General Assembly held annually in Richmond for all Hi-Y clubs throughout the state. In November, members collected money for the Red Cross and participated in a car wash to help raise money for the EDMARC Hospice. “Doing things for others gives you a good feeling inside” professed Nita Fanny.
