Her co-operation in our every effort, her kindly guidance, wise counsel and advice, and her checrfullness, sympathy, and understanding in times of despondency, have been veritable pillows of strength upon which to lean during our last years at Suffolk High. She has been a jolly friend and companion and as such we have had good” times together. She has been a learned teacher and instructor, under whom we have better fitted ourselves for that which lies before us. She has shared in the accomplishment of our triumphs and gloried in the realization of them. She has boosted us in disappointment and cheered us in defeat. She has given of her best at all times, and our hearts o ' erflow with gratitude. She has proved herself a true leader and worth-while example in every sense of the word, and to her we pledge our grateful love, homage, and esteem.

Senior JDocm At last, our goal is close upon us And attainment sought is near. Four joyous years we leave behind us, Halls, and haunts, and places, dear. These years so filled with wholesome living. With priceless friendships, heaven begotten. With love, and comradeship, and giving, Form a chapter ne’er forgotten. We’ll cherish each and every memory Of campus, classroom, court, and field; And when once launched upon life’s journey, Often to their charm we’ll yield. Life’s vista stretches out before us. Smooth, and smiling, pleasant, wide. New tasks and duties we know await us. Ways unventured, and paths untried. Hope fills every eager bosom Of winning glory, and renown, Of gaining honor, fame, and wisdom, Of wearing oft a victor’s crown. So march we forward, without tear. To meet our tasks, whate’er they be. Yet sad in heart with grief sincere. We bid farewell, old School, to thee. Jane Little, ’ 28 . Page Forty-five Senior Jbistorp INETEEN rWENTY-EIGHl at last! For four long years the Senior Class of ' 28 looked forward to this memorable year. When we were Freshmen, we thought that it would be a long time before we reached our goal, but it seems as if it has come upon us sud¬ denly. As Freshmen we worked hard at our studies, because we realized that so much depended upon a good beginning. With Miss Dora Britt as teacher we steered our course safely to our Sophomore year. When we entered our Sophomore year, we felt as if we were grown up, and as much a part of the school as anyone. We started this year by being initiated into the Literary Society. We were proud of having a member of our class partici¬ pate in the public speaking contest. Ann Hargrave easilv defeated South Nor¬ folk and represented Suffolk High at the University. We were proud, too, of having one sub, Katherine Coulbourn, on the varsity basketball team. With Miss Cordelia Crowder as our home room teacher, we advanced rapidly, studying even harder than the year before, with the hope of reaching the |unior Class with a clear record. We began our Junior year with Miss Crowder as teacher, finishing with Miss Virginia Nelms for the second term. The first event of the year was the election of class officers. Ray Baird was elected President; William Wright, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Kathleen Butler, Secretary; and Gillette Everett, Treasurer. Jane Little was elected as representative from the Junior Class to the Honor Council, of which she was Secretary. During this year a Debating Club was organized. The Senior team was challenged to a debate, to be held before the High School. Ann Hargrave and Jane Little, representing the Junior team, tied with their upper classmen. T his was one of the most interesting features of the year. More and better things were yet in store for this class. Jane Little, as public speaker, and Katherine Coulbourn, as reader, having defeated their opponents from South Norfolk, represented Suffolk High School at the Virginia High Sch x l Literary and Athletic League contest at the University. Jane Little, to our great joy, was State winner of the girls’ public speaking contest. At the close of our Junior year, a most noteworthy event took place, that of the Junior-Senior reception. It has been the custom, for a great manv vears, for the Juniors to entertain the graduating class in some manner, and our class followed the usual custom by giving the Seniors a reception and a dance at the Laurel Cliff Country Club. Page Forty-six THE PEANUT “Seniors!” How we love to say that word. It sends a thrill through us that will never he forgotten. After three years o f toil and work, we are now fulfilling our many obligations as “dignified” Seniors. We starred the year with Mr. Francis Chase as our Principal, having succeeded Mr. Custis, who had been with us our other years of High School. With Kathleen Butler as President; Garnett Smirhers, Vice-President; Helen Brinkley, Secretary; Ray Baird, Treas¬ urer; and Miss Marjorie Rhodes as our home room teacher and Class Sponsor, we have trietl to make our Senior year a golden one. We have tried our best in making good our motto, “By Perseverance We Conquer.” The Edgar Allen Poe Literary Society has been a great help to all of us. The splendid programs and entertainments have been enjoyed by each one. The officers from the Senior Class, Garnett Smithers, President, and Gillette Everett, Secretary, have served efficiently. This Society has published a page in the Suffolk News each Saturday. It has been edited by Jane Little and a worthy staff, who have been very successful in carrying on their work. Something new and beneficial to us has been started in our High School this year, that of having a self-governing organization. Vernon Ford is President of the Student Body. The President, with his cabinet, the Senate, and various committees, together with the aid of Mr. Chase, has done splendid work, and we are sure that as it continues, it will prosper. With Ann Hargrave as Editor-in-Chief, Katherine Coulbourn as Business Manager, and Miss Rhodes as Faculty Advisor, supported by a hard-working Staff, we are really sure that this year ' s “Peanut” will be the best ever published bv a Senior Class in Suffolk High School. The Annual Staff on March 2nd pre¬ sented a play, “A Lucky Break,” which was a great success. Each moment was fully enjoyed by the audience. Looking back over the twelve years spent in school, we recall the many hard roads we had to travel. When we were gradually rising from the bottom of the ladder, we thought many times of stopping where we were, but that certain ele¬ ment within us, called school spirit, has urged us on and on, until we have finally climbed the ladder of success. We can truthfully say that each moment spent, each deed accomplished in “dear old Suffolk Hi, has been worthwhile. We shall ever have deepest rever¬ ence, fondest memories, and sheerest love for our Alma Mater. Esther Levy, ' 28. Page h ' orty-ieven — East Will anti Testament H E, ah, great we! (so we have been led to believe) supposedly and prob¬ ably the graduates of Suffolk High School in the year 1928, but more possibly the proud Seniors of 1988, realize the gravity of our expulsion from the dear old Alma Mater in |une, 1928, and the necessity of a definite distribution of our valuables ( demons,” “Rolls Rotfens,” etc.), and meriting qualities, if we are the lucky ow ners of such. Therefore we have assembled to give and not to receive, to will and bequeath, as follows: SECTION I Article I. To Mr. Chase, the highest admiration and an humble subjection to his gentle, convincing manner and stern, yet persuading, authority. We desire that the latter bequeathment be enjoyed by the future Seniors. Article II. To Mr. Martin, our old stand-by, the old but always fresh appreciation of his excellent and instructive counsel to us, as a class. Article III. To Miss Rhodes, our beloved Faculty Advisor and Latin Professoress,” recognition of her admirable advice and help in the Senior activi¬ ties, and her co-operation in producing the 1928 Peanut. (If you like our Annual, divide the praise between Miss Rhodes anil the laborious Staff. If you dislike it, count five trillion four hundred and sixty billion before speaking). Article IN’. To the rest of the Faculty, a bronze plaque containing the re¬ markable (very remarkable, we must say) grades of the 1928 Seniors to be pre¬ sented on September the tenth of next term by Mr. Goode, to be hung in the famous halls of S. H. S. as an inspiration to non-Seniors. SECTION II Article 1. To the present hefty (one in particular), huffy Juniors, who, re¬ gardless of their own conceit, know so very, very little, our super-dignity and extraordinary knowledge of affairs to be apportioned as charity goods according to the very unique needs of the Class of ' 29. Article II. To the impudent, stuck-up Sophs, just the hope that some day they will realize that their foolish ideas are impossible and will come down to ground. Article III. As for the Freshies, they are too young to be trusted with any valuable articles; so to them just the expectation that they will learn to love S. H. S. as we have. SECTION III And now we will the bulk of our estate to our ancient salesman, Abner Ketcham, better known as Edward Crocker, to be auctioned at the Candy Store on March 15, 1929. We fear that Abner may be inclined by the force of his old line of business to sell it all as cemetery lots, so for the benefit of the dear old fellow we will list the prospective buyers. Article I. “Humpy’s Ford, although a 1918 model, is still in excellent running condition. P. B.—Jack Moore. Here’s hoping that the Ford shakes Jack ’til he wakes up. Article II. Skillett’s nymph-like figure. P. B. Mary Taylor Withers. Article III. Katrine Williams’ seat in The Green Dodge Roadster. P. B. S ome little Junior. Article IV. “Bill Kiev’s Kitty.” P. B. — Some pet shop. Abner, we hope you get enough for it to pay Kitty’s” Bill.” Article V. “Ray” Baird’s elevator. P. B.—Miss Lingo. She says that it Pag, Fifty is so much trouble to carry such an amount of tonnage from the first to the second floor and bring it back down again three times a day. Article VI. Garnett Smither’s celerity. P. B. Detective Goode, to enable him to catch the destructive pupils in the act.” Article VII. An affirmative and a negative brief on the State question: Does Shag Metcalf like the temperature and pressure around his feet better than that which surrounds his head? P. B. Miss F.lsea, to have the pressure and tempera¬ ture calculated by her Chemistry class and then to solve the greatly discussed query. Article VIII. Jane Little’s vocabulary. P. B. Miss Nanny Birdsong, to Ik- placed in the library for future reference for the ignorant pupils to come. Article IX. “Red” Smith’s flaming locks. P. B. Miss Riss, to use it as a pigment in her rouge. Article X. Dick Hume’s false teeth. P. B. Miss Stallings, for testing the hefty biscuits of the huffy Sophs. Article XI. “Ham” Darrell’s all-’roundness. P. B.—Frances Bell. She wants to increase in latitude and longitude so badly. Article XII. Ann Hargrave’s numerous combs, clips, trouble, etc. Per feet Blockhead’’—Anyone (boy or girl, no preference) who is foolish and trouble¬ seeking enough to let their shorn locks become unshorn. Article XIII. Terence Barden’s woman-hatred” and zeal for studying. P. B — Mr. Martin, for future use. We truly hope that our Superintendent will instill in John, Jr., the fact that these qualities are very essential in the making of a strong foundation, tho we fear that this youth’s heart has already been cap¬ tivated by some fair damsel. Article XIV. Esther Levy’s cute, tiny figure. P. B.—One of those folk who is so unfortunate as to be awkward on horseback. Abner, we warn you of a “center rush. Article XV . All the ponies slightly broken in conquering Virgil, and the red dogs worn by Senior boys. P. B. Miss Rhodes, to present a Dog and Ponv Show for the benefit of 1929 Peanut.” Article XV’I. “Sally Herbert’s flirting eyes. P. B.— Hutchie,” to keep her from “robbing the cradle. Article XVII. “Sam” Brockenborough’s sleepy eyes and Oscar Kennedy’s “Cot” to afford comfort in daily snoozes. P. B. Seniors of ’ 2 D. Article XV III. Kathleen Butler’s excitement at the sight of a Studebaker. P. B. Virginia Bryan. It is rumored that the Ponds are going to buy a Stude¬ baker as their next means of conveyance. Article XIX. Garland Coble’s “Sugar” to be sold by the pound. P. B.— “Bob Tynes. Article XX. Virginia Baines’ Boots.” P. B. Whoever may wear the lucky size. Article XXI. I-ois Ehler ' s sweet, charming manner. P. B. Janice Butler, that she may charm those indifferent scallawags concealed beneath the name, boys. Article XXII. Howard Shotton’s masterpiece, “Be a Divine Dancer in Two Steps. P. B. Taylor Palmer. Perhaps someday he’ll learn how to dance Just as divinely as Howard. By Perseverance We Conquer.” Given under our hand, fist and seal on this the Ides of March, (oh that fate¬ ful day not only for Caesar but for us, the departing Seniors) 1928 .

Pal (my faithful collie, who, 1 truly believe, studies and absorbs my lessons along with me). Let’s take a little snooze. His joyous bark was accompanied by an approving wag, and he stretched himself lazily at my feet as l, equally lazy, reclined in the old Morris chair before the brilliant, cheerful and dream-provoking grate fire. Instantly 1 was transported into another world, leaving Pal sleeping by the glittering flames. 1 surveyed with wondering eyes my unexpected surroundings. The sun was high in the heavens, and in the distance lofty walls glittered beneath the penetrating rays. On approaching I found that a city was inclosed, a Utopia of graduate Peanuts. Before 1 was able even to think, much lesr to make a decision as to my course, the gate whose beauty corresponded to that of the exquisite walls, opened and revealed the Kingdom of Peanuts. I he gate guard advanced toward me. Across his breast was sewed a black P on his maroon uniform. ‘‘It is necessary that I see the King,” I state. “Immediately a message stating such shall be sent to his Majesty, answered the guard. Soon I was in the present of his Majesty himself, who, after hearing my inquiry, directed me to the Prophet of this land. I wound my way down a narrow- mountain path to a cave naturally hewn in this rocky mass. I entered and seated myself on a rock opposite the sage and a taller rock upon which rested his crystal. With a deep, mellow voice the old experienced man began, “I have always predicted the future of the S. H. S. graduates and not yet have! foretold an untrue life. So rely upon my view of the future tor the Class of ’28. “In June they will all come to this Kingdom by the King’s order. Now I shall show you each one as he will be five years after his graduation.” With a slight movement ot his hand over my face, and a mumble of strange words, we were both in 2Sth City in the Kingdom of Peanuts. This city was beautiful, having been laid off in equal blocks. Just an ideal municipality! “First,” said my guide, “we shall go through the suburbs. This is Football Avenue, which is the ' most select part of the residential section. Mayor and Mrs. V. O. Ford live in that exquisite mansion hidden in that pine grove. ‘Humpy , Jr.’ is going to be an athlete and leader just like his father. That’s the ' Three in One Bungalow’ across the street, which was willed by a relative in the ’2 irh City, to ‘Sallv’ Herbert, Red’ Smith and ‘Phyllis ' Johnson. ‘Sally’ teaches aesthetic dancing; ‘Red,’ piano; and ‘Phyllis,’ voice. Each pupil takes them all m one lesson. Mr. ‘Ham’ Harrell owns that home on the corner. He has been very successful with his meat market. He makes a specialty ot small hams.” “Now, we come to Basketball Street. ‘Dick Hume, Doc. Holland, Dunkv Dunning, ‘Sugar’ Coble, ‘Sam’ Brockenborough and ‘Happy’ Boze built these apartments and called if the ‘Bachelor’s Club.’ No women ever dare to venture near it, for these men are the most ferocious woman-haters ever. But across Page Fijty-three the street yonder is a similar abode of the opposite sex, the Try and Get Us Club.’ Hilda Luke, Mary F. laylor, Margaret Copeland, Helen Brinkley, Lois Fhler ami rtilth White organized it, electing ‘Sis’ as President. It’s a very prosperous organization of its kind. 1 hey have not looked at a gentleman during their five years here. S a $, our ? to . Baseball Diamond, which is the business section. That is the Bank of ’28th City on the corner, and there is President ‘Rav’ Baird leaning drowsily out of the front window. His experience in running an elevator was a great help in acquiring this honorable position. Yes, he chose as his Secre- tary. Miss ‘Boots’ Baines. She is very efficient, and so is the Cashier, Flovd Riddick. He cashes everything going and coming. “Smith’s is the best drug store in town. They make all kinds of drinks, wet or dry without regard for the Prohibition Amendment. “The Poe Theatre is managed by Mr. Howard Shotten. It has only vaude¬ ville acts The ‘Suffolk Hi Follies’ are wonderful. Misses ‘Pollv’ Williams and Kathleen Butler in their latest hit, ‘Take It or Leave It, ' heads the bill tonight, supported by a chorus of four marvels, Misses Agnes Bryant, Janet Stone, Marie Pritchard and Mary L. Riddick. The second act is entitled ‘The Giants and the Mouse. I he (bants are ‘Trine’ Williams, F.lise Hines and ‘Skillett’ Fverett; the Mouse is ‘Faster’ Levy. The comedy is rich all the way through. The third act, an exhibition of the latest dance steps, is given by the Manager himself. c U r ‘ ,cr ? nce . Barden, the famous lawyer, has bought a few shares in the Save Fm or C onvict F.m Corporation.’ The business of convicting has increased considerably since the new partner has ‘passed the bar.’ He convicted Oscar Kennedy for selling cots without springs.

Page Sixty-eight £l)c tubent Senate ’RING many years there has Ween in Suffolk High School some type of self-governing organization for the sole purpose of meting out correction and punishment to those students who chanced to wander from the strict path of honesty. This year, however, for the first time in our history, there has been introduced into S. H. S. by Mr. F. S. Chase, our beloved and esteemed Principal and ftiend, a thoroughly democratic and highly organized system of complete self-government. It is constructed on the basis of popular sovereignty. The definite aim and purpose of this organization (body), as I perceive it, is to improve and better conditions in every phase of activity, thereby raising this, our school, to an enviable position and setting standards that we will be even more proud of in the future. In the fitst place, as a necessary preliminary for this vast program of reconstruction, there has been an honest and sincere attempt to arouse in every individual that essential and all-important sense of true school spirit, loyalty, responsibility, and justice. Of course I do not mean to infer by the pre¬ ceding statement that there has not been at all times n S. H. S. a high degree of school loyalty and en¬ thusiasm on the part of a great majority. I simply mean to state that our worth-while and noble motive is to establish an even higher and greater sense of that fundamental requisite, school spirit, and to diffuse it not just through the majority, no, that is not sufficient, but to encourage, aid, and abet its permeation into the very hearts, feelings, and actions of every single Peanut. In this manner we seek to attain our real goal, that of welding the student body of S. H. S. into a compact, organized, well-oiled, and thoroughly co-operating mechanism of interested, ambitious, students, one for all and all for each other. In short, we would have the students of S. H. S. comprise a united Iwxly, a group, thoroughly congenial and harmonious, putting into daily practice the old bur supreme adage and motto, “United we stand, divided we fall. We would diffuse through our school the true spirit of co-operation, that fundamental quality which permeates every successful enterprise. This accomplished would mean the abolishing of petty bickerings, self-interests and opposing factions. It would lead to the creation of a far grander school. It would hasten the dawning of the day of greater greatness for our beloved Alma Mater. This new self-governing system includes by name, through distinct bodies which arc, in truth, not separate at all, but simply are within the other. However, this distinction has been made and the sections and their compositions ate as follows: First, the Student League, which is comprised of all the members of Suffolk High. Second, the Student Senate, which is made up of classroom, club, literary and athletic representatives. In short, it is composed of students representing every phase and activity of school life. It is a truly democratic and representative body in which is placed the sum total of authority to regulate participation in student activities. Furthermore, it has established no special court to try cases, but, concerning the violation of a school rule, the Senate acts as a whole, ' there has been created, by the Senate, a number of committees whose real wotk is to promote our universal aim, that of general betterment ami progress. In order to show the nature of their work, I will mention a few of these committees, whose titles indicate their duties. They are, namely: Com¬ mittee on Morals, Committee on Attendance, Committee on Public Order and Safety and Committee on Building and Grounds. These will suffice to prove that our ambition is fast evolving from a dream into a reality! The third body within this organization is called the Student Cabinet. It is composed of the Chairmen of all committees and it forms an advisory hotly for the President, who as the demo¬ cratic choice of the student body, heads the whole organization and stimulates it to action by his own worth-while ideals and example. S. H. S. chose as rhe first person to fill this exceedingly honorable position of President of the whole student body, Mr. Vernon Ford, who to them rmbodics all the qualities of the student anti athlete, possessed of the true Suffolk High spirit. The one other general office of the Student Senate is that of Secretary, which is held by Jane Little. This, in brief, concludes an account of the purpose, aim, and organizations of the new self-governing body, anil 1 close with a toast to this new undertaking, which I trust embodies the sentiments of all my fellow classmates of ’28: Here ' s to the great success, the boundless influence and rhe permanent survival of the S. H. S. Student Government. Page Sixtr-nh i Cljc tubent Cabinet OFFICERS Vernon Ford.. President Jane Little.

In the first place, the society officers, namely: Garnett Smithcr, President; Frances Hutchins, Vice-President; Gillette Evetctte, Secretary; and Edward Crocker, Treasurer, have pi oval them¬ selves capable and conscientious to the highest degree. Secondly, we have profited greatly by the splendid suggestions ami enthusiastic, loyal support of our Society Sponsor, co-worker and adviser. Miss Cordelia Crowder. Also we have enjoyed the encouraging presence of the other members of the faculty, and one of the many helps to us during this memorable year has been the hearty co¬ operation and constructive criticisms of both our beloved Principal and esteemed Superintendent. This year we have used as material for our interestingly airangai and presented programs, the lives, works, and contributions of many outstanding literary ' mem The choice has been greatly varied an«.l we find in summing up that we have studied men of widely diversified origins, characteristics and accomplishments, some of whom are, namely: Rudyard Kipling, James Whitcombe Riley and John McCrae. Among the unusually interesting and really worth-while things that the society has done this year was to assemble in a bodv at the Woman ' s Club for the purpose of hearing, Miss Hicndrich, of the University of Virginia, deliver a splendid address on that now vital State question, the Short Ballot. The lecture was exceedingly interesting and helpfully instructive. Another successful enterprise to be included in this year ' s program of accomplishments was the publishing of a school column every Saturday night in the Suffolk News. This column has been edited by a Staff composed of the following members: Jake Little Editor-in-Chief Victor Bell and Viviak Hart Associate Editors Gillette Everett Margaret Nelms, Virginia Pharis . Athletic Reporters Anna Mary Joyner . Literary Society Reporter Reginald Holland and Bill Eley Joke Editors The faithful and splendid work of this Staff and all other contributors to the success of the paper, is recognized, appreciated and commended by the society. There’s another thing of which we are truly proud. We have, at last succeeded in purchasing a society pin. It is in the form of a small gold owl, beautifully wrought and properly inscribed. So far there have been two literary contests held, spelling and reading, respectively. The winners of the girls ' and boys ' reading contests were Anne Hargrave anil Garnett Smithcr. The other two contests will be held as usual within the society and the participants who are victotious in the intcr- scholostic meets will be sent on to Charlottesville to enter the State contests. This concludes our recital of the year’s studies, accomplishments, and aims. We leave behind us the wish and sincere desire that future members of the society will derive from its sessions as much worth-while benefit as we have received and as much enjoyment as we have experienced. Also, we dedicate to succeeding members the high degree of enthusiasm, zeal, and ability that has permeated and characterized all the efforts of the society during the past year.

CHEER LEADERS Virginia Pharis Doc Holland Page Eighty Page Eighty-one Jfootlmll HE “PEANUTS” began football training early in October, with five veterans and a likely squad of boys willing to be used as material to make a good team. Our new Coach, “Mike Stevens, showed his skill by turning this material into a smoothly running machine, scientifically called a Football Team. Taking into consideration the schedule and the lack of experience of most of the team, the “Peanuts” made a fine showing on the field. They marched their wits and strength against the best teams in this district, such as: Wilson, Maury, Newport News and South Norfolk. Little more could be expected than the loss of such games, but they were lost in a sportsmanlike way, as all of our games are won or lost. The season opened with a game with Oceana. The teams were well matched and played hard to the finish, making it a very interesting game. After both teams had done their best to break the other’s line and keep its own from being broken, the game ended with a 0-0 tie. This did well to break in the new boys and to give them a chance to show everyone that they were made of the right stuff. After the first game there was a continual fight for two months. The “Peanuts” were sometimes on top and always smiling and were always sportsman¬ like. Games were played with Newport News, Maury, Elizabeth City, South Norfolk, Courtland, Hertford, Petersburg and Franklin. To five of these teams we lost and from three we won. The five victors were Newport News, South Norfolk, Maurv, Petersburg and Franklin. A large part of the student body accompanied the team to Franklin in hope of witnessing a game in which the Peanuts” would be mighty victors. Hut our hope was lost, for alas, our lifetime rivals played too well for us and scored 26 points, while the “Peanuts” played an entirely defensive game and scored nothing. We took the week end for mourning and for praying for a better success next year, when the Peanuts” will again meet Franklin on the gri diron field, but to defeat and not to be defeated. We closed the football season with the “Peanuts” victorious. Courtland, Hertford and Elizabeth City were easily defeated. The “Peanuts” played hard in all the games and some of the boys showed the real spirit and training that makes great football players. Moore, halfback; Morgan, quarterback; Smith, tackle; Coble, guard; and Ford, center, were out¬ standing as good men on the field. We hope that they will gain more ability as plavers as thev gain more knowledge in schools which thev will enter on leaving S. H. S. Page Eighty-thrtt Jfootball Scores S. H. S.0 S. H. S. 6 S. H.

We’re bound for the goal, we ' re speeding away! We’re the best ream you’ve seen in many a day. Page Eighty-six Pasfeetball, 1928 soon as the Christmas Holidays were over the boys started training hard for basketball, with “Mike” Stevens as their Coach. Stevens put them through strenuous body exercises for the first few days and then through floor practice. After a week, the squad was cut to twelve men. Some of the old players—Moore, Tynes, Morgan and Ford—were in the squad. The rest were inexperienced, but showed natural ability and good training. A game with Kempsville started the season. Howell and Moore played the game like nobody’s business, while the others showed up well. Old S. H. S. came out on top, but there was a good fight for the victory. Other games followed rapidly, but we gained only a few of the victories. Of course, to lose to Maury, Wilson and South Norfolk was expected. The game with Franklin was played in a building resembling a barn, to which the boys were unaccustomed. The game lost to Holland was unlooked for and the result was very sadly accepted by the “Peanuts.” Aulander was given a fight before she won and Whaleyville, Oceana and St. Mary’s left the “Peanut City” as losers. As a whole the team played an average game, with some good nights and some off nights. As most of them will be back again next year to start the basket¬ ball season with more experience and a good will, we are sure that there will Ik a more successful season. They have the best wishes for good luck from the present Senior Class. SCORES S. H. S. 24 Kempsville. . 18 S. H. S. . 3 Franklin. . 10 S H S. . 5 Maury. . 42 S. H.

Our girls made an excellent start and a more excellent finish this season. How did it happen? S. H. S.’s Girls’ Basketball Team, ’27- ' 28, is composed of prodigies. That is a good enough reason, isn’t it? With Kit” as Coach, “Skillett” as Manager anil “Kitty” as Captain, they feared no harm. They have fought together, squarely, clearly and accurately, the most successful season ever in the history of our Alma Mater. They have played eighteen games; lost only three, and consequently, won fifteen, with un¬ usually large scores. It must be noted that the victors (Kempsville, Oceana and Whaleyville, in our three defeats, were the contestants for the Division Championship, finally won by Kempsville). The loss of the Whaleyville game was later cancelled by a victory in the second struggle with them. All the games have portrayed the merit of these co-workers, but that marvelous victory over Whaleyville very creditably showed the accuracy of each member individually, and the splendid co-operation of all, as a team. The pass w-ork in the center, and at both goals has been beautiful throughout the season. Yes, good material is needed in the making of such a team as that which has just raised “Maroon and Black” so high, but the Coach must be equally as efficient. And that is the secret of it all. Miss Kirrrell has proved to be not only a Coach who deserves praise beyond the ability of my vocabulary, but a friend, ever helpful and encouraging to the many pupils who have learned to love and admire her. The team could not have made such a record without her instructive coaching, friendly advice, and careful guidance. Here’s to you, Miss “Kir.” May the basketball season of ’2K-’29 be even happier for you and your girls. SCORES S. H. S. 21 Whaleyville. 17 S. H. S. . 39 St. Mary’s. 3 S. 11. S. 19 Hamacos 7 S. H. S.

There are four id wSl letter men on the tcam an 1 several payers who made up the substi- tutes and second team last year. Besides these there are inexperienced men who are trying hard to keep old S. H. S. near the top. The whole squad con¬ sists of about thirty men. The letter men are Russell, Johnson, Morgan, and Daughtrey, all of whom are showing their ability on the diamond. Dunning and Sadler, last year’s substi¬ tute catchers, Ford and Moore, who played last year in the field and on the pitcher’s mound, are also showing up good this season. Of the new material, the outstanding are Murphy, first base; Bullock, shortstop; and Riddick, pitch. St. Mary’s, Maury, Wilson, Hampton, Franklin, Holland, South Norfolk, Smithfield, Driver and William and Mary Freshmen make up the 1928 schedule. With this schedule and the promising team of the “Peanuts,” we are sure that there will be a successful season on the diamond, though the cagers and the gridiron men were not so successful. The team is made of good material, is under the supervision of the worthy Coach, Mike” Stevens, and has the most sincere faith from the hearts of the “Peanuts.” What more could there be to help make the result a success?
