W here but at Peer Facilitation would you find thirteen stu¬ dents sitting on the floor with a jean-clad teacher? Sponsored by the Western Tidewater Mental Health Center, fifteen students from each area high school were trained during the summer at Fort Monroe, in Hampton, by Tom Erney and Sherry Barnhardt. Sponsors Randy Betz and his wife, Barbara Mease aided the group in learning effective listening skills and group interaction. The club’s purpose was, in short, youth helping youth.” Although the project was a new undertaking, members hoped to be operating at full force next year.

Many staff members worked at outside jobs so their time to work on the school paper was scarce. However, working together the staff published a paper with articles ranging from clubs and sports to music and student life. A new literature section was added in order to provide a place for creative writers to display their work. Each paper contained approximately ten pages and the staff planned to produce seven issues within the year. Kay Ivey, editor-in-chief, summed up the work best when she stated, “The responsibilities to produce a paper are great, but relief does come when you can see it in print. Proofreading the ediloral page, Kay Ivey works towards the deadline. PEANUT PICKER PEER FACILITATION 19

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.

Sponsored by Nurse Hodge, the club members were involved in different projects to gain a better understanding of the nursing profession. Speakers were invited to address the members on the aspects of the many health fields. The club also took a tour of the hospital to become acquainted with the everyday life of a nurse. Bernice Scott, a second year member, said, “I felt that it was a good club because it could help you a lot if you wanted to continue nursing, and you could get some high ideals from it.” Job Hunt F or the students who wanted to learn about many different jobs, the Career Club was perfect. Sponsored by Miss Stephanie Perkins, the club tried to explore different vocations and courses helpful for preparation for the outside world.
