THE PEANUT The Peanut Vol. VII : 1929 PUBLISHED BY the: senior class of Suffolk high school SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA THE PEANUT Jforetuorb stfN the publication of this book, it has ml been our earnest effort to put in its limited space those things which are most representative of our life here at school. It is these commonplace occurrences which grow dearer to us in our memories as the years go by. If in later years you find a familiar face or scene, which takes vcu back for a while to your days spent in “Ole Suffolk High,” our efforts have not been in vain. With this idea in view, we have planned and published THE 1929 PEANUT ess 0 09 Metrication flO Mr. FRANCIS S. CHASE, who as Principal for the past two years has attained great success in his work both within and. without the school for the advancement and betterment of Suffolk High School, we, the Class of 1929 , respectfully dedicate this, the Seventh Volume of The PEANUT GO 63 €8 _ _ IBoofc of Contents $ f I SENIOR HIGH CLASSES II JUNIOR HIGH CLASSES III 0 PUBLICATIONS 8 IV ACTIVITIES V ATHLETICS VI FEATURES c ssa eszegz ' Cljeme EING Virginians of the old seat of democracy, we thought it fitting to dedicate the art work of this, our Annual, to some of the remark¬ able events which gave Virginia its glory and sowed the seed of her present development. So it is that we are much pleased to present in this form, Virginia ever glorious— ever patriotic—ever a holy name. 33 G33 3 (S3 . THE PEANUT J?oarb of (Cbiicatton of Suffolk d)oolsi J. C. WEST. J.

She is the embodiment of all that is required of a friend. Margaret is skillful in handling a typewriter and some day when she becomes a big business woman and plays the stock market she ' ll be the same to us as in the old days. LUTHER TEELE BARNHILL “BR-R-R Athletic Association, 29. He thinks twice before he speaks and then talks to himself. Luther is the type that labors alone without complaint and without disturbing others. Although not taking an active part in Athletics, we are sure that he stands an interested onlooker.

She is a genuine fighter when it comes to defending the ball for Suffolk. Her congenial nature has gathered .for her a wide circle of admiring friends who pledge their loyal support. 0 35 £ 22 � Page Seventeen .

NVe are o proud of West, and o confident of hi power a a leader that we made him President of the Senior Class, and not once ha he failed to repay this confidence placed in him. He is a staunch believer in Duty first, yet there is always a broad smile for his friends. No matter what vocation he chooses to follow in life, we are sure that he will be an honorable member.

As to her ambition we can not declare, but we know that a certain dark youth has been as faithful as the shadow that goes in and out with me. Being the cutest girl in the class, we don ' t wonder at such devouring, adoring glances from both parties concerned. Anyway, we hope she ' ll live happily ever after. ELBERT CARROLL Athletic Association. ' 27. ' 28. If patience is always rewarded there must be an abundance of fortune fo r Elbert. Being a shoe Clerk at intervals is proof of plenty patience. Whether he continues to serve our feel or becomes a haberdasher salesman, we wish him luck. Page Eighteen THE PEANUT WILLIAM CROCKER “BIDDY Claim Hnskcthnll, •26. ' 27. ' 2 . ' 29.

There is nothing hut genuine happiness behind the laugh that is now famous, vet nothing hut earnestness when more serious matters come. “Biddy is small, hut there are few who laugh louder or few who attract more attention than he. There is a time for all things with him, which is partly the secret of his long list of friends. FRANCES GODWYN BELL FANNY Literary Society, ' 27.

Under her suggestion a Dramatic Club was created and we expect great things from this organization, particularly with ‘‘Burger” at the wheel. We can’t forget her work on the basketball team, either. BENJAMIN BRUCE ELLIOTT Athletic Association, ‘28. ’28. ’29; Orchestra, ‘27. ’28. ’29; Uterary Society, ’27, ’28, ’29. It’s a real treat to have a bov like Bruce in class. Although inclined to a little childish mischief, we enjoy the jokes and are glad to forget the rest for a big laugh. Bruce is fortunate to be family-connected with an enterprise that has been death on the old-time buggy rides— the Ford. Got another joke. Bruce? JANICE MEREDITH BUTLER ‘RED” Uterary Society. ’27. ’28. ’29; Athletic Reporter Peanut, Basketball Team. ‘26. ’27. ’28, ’29; Varsity Basketball Team, Orchestra, ’26, ‘27. To the center of the basketball court our eyes can’t help but fall upon “Red.” Maybe be¬ cause of her reddish hair, but more probably because of her activeness. Red has a person¬ ality that affects us like an Irish joke—it leaves us with a brighter feeling toward life. As we go out to various fields, may it be our luck to gather friends like “Red. Page Twenty CSS) £32 G33 S£ 0 0 EMILY LOUISE C AMPBELL Emily is down there f ' ghting like a tigress. As she darts hack and forth, her keen, brown eyes tell the story sometimes of doubt, uneasiness and then we see the fire of sure victory. As a plucky guard she is rather priceless and we can not shape words that express our appreciation for her services. CRESTON THOMAS EVANS “FLEET Many an envying glance is cast longingly at Creston ' s dark, wavy hair, yet it is a source of much dismay to our fortunate member. Creston is a real heart-breaker, according to reports. Well, he has many advantages of looks that everyone can’t enjoy. No joking, we surely ap¬ preciate this rather handsome, impressive youth. JOSIE VIRGINIA BRYAN Athletic Assoc iation, ’28, ' 29; Dramatic Club. ' 29: Literal-} ' Society. ’29. Discussing perpetual motion, it occurred to me that “Stump is the nearest human specimen of this much discussed experiment. From 9:00 to 3:30 she continually hops up and down. It is a puzzle to us just how she summons so much energy to make everyday events seem important. Yet some day she will use this energy in making somebody ' s world a happier place.

We need no formal introduction for this popular young lady who has served so well, even worked overtime to type for the Peanut Hull. She is quite an influential talker too as she secured a surprising number of ads while serving as Advertising Manager on the Annual Staff. She is an unusually good pupil and has proved an asset to the Commercial Department during her sojourn with us. Many good wishes for the future.

Being giant like in stature, Cot has lent a lot of support to the football team. He enjoys a prank so much that we wonder if he will ever outgrow this childish nature. May his character development be just as great as his greatness of body. JOHN D. HART JACK President Freshman Class. - 2«; President Sophomore Class. ' 27; Athletic Association.

Now, Elmer, we really didn ' t know that was your name—it ' s been just plain Billy ever since the very first day you hung your hat and made yourself at home in Suffolk. As to your interest in school activities, we have no doubt, neither do we doubt that life holds many chances for you. IVEY HARRELL Literary Society. ' 27. ' 28: Lingo Commercial Club. ' 29. Of the olive-complexion and locks of raven hue, is our Ivey. She is pursuing a Commercial Course—but we wonder if a fires de and a cottage in the country won ' t rob her of a business course and give her an entirely different life-work. She has a strong influence over her friends, who count her valuable. Page Twenty-three ess £2 j «£5 es GQ ' GS €! ©fc THE PEANUT LYDIA DARDEN HARRF.I.L L.YD’’ Literary Society. ‘26, ‘27. ‘28, ‘29. Lydia, the seller of purple. To us this modern Lydia is just the godly sort of girl that Lydia of old was. From her very action we see a clean striving, industrious person.

First of all. we must give Vivian a big hand for the way she’s handled the Peanut Hull.” Vivian has become a favorite among the teachers because of her efforts to satisfy their ever- longing for perfect recitations. Vivian handles the violin with the ease of an artist. Perhaps this musical nature will be her future source of fame. ... .. 28. ’29: Vice-President Honor 28; Literary Society. ’27. ’28; Glee Club. ’29; Page Twenty-Jour 553 £ 35 3 GS3 2S S£ CS5 CSS «2 £ S Honor Council.

Socially, he is a rare success; maybe it is because self-trust is the first secret of success. If you’re looking for a tvpical “man about town,” vou will find Howard a splendid example.

Yes, it is Bob expressing his mirth. He is a valued member of our class and quite a active in the ball-room as on the gym floor. His work in basketball is a credit to him and to the school. “Bob” is a much-sought-after character; perhaps it is because of his undaunted spirit in victory or defeat.

What was Windsor’s loss was Suffolk ' s gain when Frances decided to make her home here. We have learned her as a smart, lovable girl. Always she has a smile for those who have the pleasure of being among her acquaintances. Our four years ' relation with her has been indeed pleasant and we all join in wishing her luck in her chosen field. HILDA ESTER SHKRR KID 8HERK Literary Society, ’27, ' 28. ’29. Hilda is an industrious character and a genuine worker.

MIRIAM VIRGINIA WATKINS MIN Literary Society, 27, ’28; Athletic Association, ' 29; High School Orchestra (Classical), ' 26, ' 27. ' 28. ' 29. Miriam is a type that we can ' t help think about when the embers in the fire are dying and we, spread drowsily on the floor before it, choose to dream a while. So still and smooth is her nature that we sometimes place her in our heart as a character similar to a dream girl. But not a dream at all, for Miriam is very much alive and interested in the life about her. Paff Thirty THE PEANUT Senior Pocnt Lonely and tired I sat thinking, Reviewing our happy years, And my eyes could hardly help blinking, As they overflowed with tears. Back many long years I wandered, But the days weren’t ever so gay As the ones when I sat and pondered While going a Senior’s way. God knows that our deepest devotion Is poured unlimited on thee, School that’s meant mental promotion, And Senior dignity. W e’ve built our lighthouse on rocks so strong That no tempest can tear it apart; For the precious influence will linger long Stored in the depths of our heart. -P. V. j., ’29 Page Thirty-one 9 9-9 SS3 ZS5 THE PEANUT (I $ Senior SMsftorp ISTORIANS of old labored hours and even long, lonely years that the world might know the exploits of Napoleon or reproduce the brilliant court life of Louis XIV, but none could have been more earnest or the event more important to those bald bards than the records I, so _feebly, endeavor to present. Feeling a little nervous, but optimistic in September, ’25, we proudly took our seats, finding ourselves facing that pleasant-faced, silver-haired woman. Miss Mae Bailey. At this time we welcomed Frances Rhodes to our class. At the Freshman meeting lack Hart was popularly elected President. With the advancement of another year our group, just a little surer that Suffolk High needed them, just a little more familiar with high school life, struggled through difficult geometry anil Ca sar. Miss Crowder was such a good leader and home room teacher in those days that we shall never quite forget the things she did for us. Again Jack Hart was chosen President. 1927 became a new era in our history. The assembly was introduced to Mr. Francis S. Chase, our new Principal. Beginning immediately, he organized a Student Government—quite an improvement over the old Honor Council system. Besides the new Principal, we enjoyed the guidance of a new Athletic Director in the person of Coach “Mike” Stevens, young, vigorous and responsible for making stalwart athletes from apparently hopeless green material. Yes, this same year Hutchins, Bell, Withers and Butler were given notable recognition in girls’ basketball, while Tynes, Moore, Crocker and Harris starred for the Junior boys. Not only were we proud of our cage ream, but the Juniors were successful in football and baseball as well. The great social event of the year came in May with the elaborate Junior- Senior reception and dance at the Hotel Elliott. We were very proud that the affair went over big and apparently the Seniors had a jolly good time. Here, I could never write our history without mentioning the Edgar Allan Poe Literary Society. Its task of training speakers had thus far proved worthy of congratulation. The meetings are always entertaining and worth while. Long live the Literary Society. Somehow, behind the great joy of being a Senior, there is a little aching feeling at the bottom of our hearts. The years have not been spent in vain, but years of happiness and fellowship. We’ve fought our little battles like Trojans, beating back threatening temptations. We don’t regret the struggles, for the reward has been great and we have become, more capable to face what life offers. Our year book, the fruit of sleepless nights, yet unlimited delight, will become a new volume not only in the records of our school, but the world itself may, some¬ where in its precious pages get a glimpse of Suffolk High. May I say that the success of “Thf. Peanut” is largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss Rhodes. Although, like the March winds whirl the dust, so may we be scattered along the ancient trails, but neither luxuries nor bitter affliction can erase from our souls the impression instilled during twelve years of work and play together. Page Thirty-two Page Jones, ’29. W . THE PEANUT Class -propljecp X a hot day in the summer of 1939 as I sat at my desk in the office of the “Peanut Hull” my thoughts slipped along memory’s golden track back to my school days at Suffolk High. For three years I had been a reporter for the “Peanut Hull” and never had I, in all my adventures encountered or even located a single one of my classmates. To me this seemed very strange, as my work led me into most every class of society. As 1 sat thinking this all over, there was a loud knock on the door. When the visitor was admitted I was much surprised to recognize an old friend of mine, a renowned globe-trotter and adventurer who had just returned from his latest trip. As we discussed old times, in the course of the conversation he told me of having heard of a very strange colony of people who were leading quite a secluded and isolated sort of life many miles off the coast of Southern California. After talking of their peculiarities he suddenly suggested the possibility of there being material there for a unique newspaper article. Seeing this also, f lost no time in suggesting it to the editor, who was quick to sec the possibility of a sensational story. Ke immediately asked me to locate this colony with the aid of my friend, and to make a complete and minute report of their settlement. As my friend ' s expedition was leaving in a few days, there was little time for preparation. After packing only the things absolutely necessary, we set off in his plane. The trip to D’ile de Reves , which lasted three days, was most en¬ joyable, but all these joys were forgotten when our plane landed upon an island more beautiful than any I had ever imagined in my most fantastic day-dreaming. Much to our surprise, we seemed to be landing upon a regular aviation field. What did this mean? Imagine my surprise when we were greeted quite formally, but not exactly enthusiastically, by an old classmate, Bruce Elliott, who owned the airport. When we removed our goggles, and Bruce recognized me, he rushed forward with outstretched arms and welcomed us to D ' ile de Reves. This,” said Bruce, “Is the retreat of the Class of ’29—the perfect city. Come with me,” he added, “and I will show you around. I know Mayor Edward Crocker will be as overjoyed as I, at having the last member of the class with us again. For the first time in ten years our class will be complete, and after I’ve shown you around the city we will celebrate the event in fitting fashion.” As we approached, I noted the beautiful arrangement of the city. When I remarked on this, Bruce told me that all the plans hail been drawn by their noted architect, William Crocker. As we came to Mayor Crocker’s palatial home, Bruce told us that this also was the work of our architect. After Edward had recovered from the surprise of our unexpected meeting, he called Billie Moore, the town bum, who had made millions in oil, to escort us around the city. With him came West Butler, who held the high position of city attorney. As we walked down the main thoroughfare of D ' ile de Reves my attention was at first attracted by the sound of music issuing from a beautiful brick building. Billie explained that Robert Tynes, with Mary Taylor Withers as his dancing partner, was running a dancing school there, their latest hit being the Fl.F.A HOP. Once a month they give a large dance, at which time Johnny Morgan and his Jolly Jazzy Jokers furnish the music. I learned also that Johnny was chief of police in his spare £? THE PEANUT time. Next door to this was an old-fashioned tea room run by Ruby Annas. This shop was an annex to the large hotel owned and managed by William Wright. I was especially interested in the Broadcasting Station conducted by Anna Mary Joyner with the aid of Howard Shotton. I was not at all surprised, however, to find that Emmett White and Taylor Palmer shared a joint ownership in the massive drug store that occupied nearly a whole block. Farther down the street was a clothing store owned by none other than Hilda Sherr. Luther Barnhill’s huge grocery store occupied the rest of this block. In a very beautiful modern office building many of my old classmates were employed in their daily tasks. Mary Hudson’s beauty parlor was located here, as well as Sam Brockenbrough’s office (Sam was a flourishing bond salesman), and the office of the daily newspaper, The Taller, along with others. The Taller was edited by Kathrvn Clark, with Wellons Staylor and Mary Lee Powell, reporters. The Society Column was edited by Jane Beale, while Lillian Wagner took care of the “Advice to the Lovelorn Depart¬ ment.” Margaret Baines, who was making a great deal of money from the stock markets, had her office here also. As we passed the local theatre owned by Creston Evans, West informed us that Frances Bell would present her piano pupils in a recital the next night. As an added feature, Bernice Hayes and Ivey Harrell were booked for a specialty dance. I found that Oscar Kennedy ran an Under¬ taking Establishment, along with a pool parlor. However, as there wasn’t much to “Undertake” he spent most of his time playing pool. Elbert Carroll’s mag¬ nificent shoe emporium completed the business section of D ' ile de Reves. As we drove out toward the east end of the city we passed a beautiful hospital, made almost entirely of marble. Billie told us that this was owned by Dr. Jack Hart, who was assisted in running it by none other than Frances Hutchins, the head nurse. A little farther out was the Hi-Jackcrs Country Club , owned jointly by the business men of the city. I was rather surprised to hear that Emily Camp¬ bell and Mary Sue Rawls managed the club, besides instructing the members in all the sports. Mary had charge of the swimming and horseback riding, while Emily taught golf and tennis. Toward the other end of the city were found the schools. V’ivian Hart con¬ ducted a girls’ private school along with Miriam Watkins, who taught the fine arts. Frances Rhodes was in charge of the public school. Janice Butler and Jack Moore had charge of the athletics, while Virginia Riddick, Lydia Harrell, and Page Jones taught there. Page had also become a famous writer. Virginia Bryan was con¬ ducting night classes in “How to be Popular With Personality Plus.” After our enjoyable trip through the city, Bruce offered to take us up in one of his planes that we might get a bird’s-eye view of the island. As we drove back to the aviation field, West planned a large banquet to be held that night in order that I might see again all my old classmates. How happy I was!! It was with these thoughts that I entered the plane. As we climbed to a medium altitude, the ship made a terrible rumbling sound. Suddenly there was a jerk of the motors and I felt myself going down! down! DOWN!!! I screamed and remembered no more. The next thing I knew, my sister was bending over me frantically trying to find out the cause of my screams. I rubbed my eyes. Could it have been only a dream? How stupid of me! I had fallen asleep while writing a news story for our own little “Peanut Hull.” Then 1 was no great newspaper reporter after all and it was still the Spring of ’29. Virginia Burger, ’29. Page Thirty-four XQ OQ § 8 THE PEANUT Class £ ong (Tune: “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi”) Oh, the years have flown And our ideals grown Since we first climbed thy winding stair With the highest hopes our banners float As we banish all thought of despair. While our hearts sing loud And we feel right proud Of the friendship and honor we’ve won But we can’t delay in our work of today As life’s game has only begun. 8 Chorus: a The stars look down in sympathy And try to soothe our heart. Yet the walls cast back a memory With sadness of drifting apart.

First, the jvj 1 fljg? Staff was enlarged so that no one member would be overworked. Second, the assistants were mostly selected from the Junior and Sophomore Classes, thus giving them the training that will be so valuable to them in putting out the future Annuals. By using the above plan we have been able to obtain what we consider a most efficient Staff. Each member has taken the utmost care to do his best in carrying out his assigned work and in making any suggestions which would be a help in planning this book. We feel that we have accomplished our goal in the pre¬ sentation of this book and we hope that our readers will enjoy its contents.

This year we took the job of editing a whole page and, although we were in dread of not being able to fill it, we started out with a right good will and have succeeded in having a full page almost every week during the year. The Staff was enlarged to twenty people and was organized on a sound working basis with regular weekly meetings. Work was assigned to the various members each week and every member of the entire Staff is to be applauded for the willingness and co-operative spirit with which he undertook his labor. The paper is not the contribution of the editor, or of those people holding the most important places, but is the product of hard work, perseverance, and co-operation on the part of the whole Staff.

For several years past, news of Suffolk High was published weekly in a few columns of the town paper. Last year a Staff was organized for this purpose, with Jane Little as its Chief. The paper consisted of three columns in the Saturday issue of the Suffolk News-Herald. This year we enlarged the paper to a full page in the Sunday issue of the Herald, increased our Staff, and placed our paper on a more journalistic basis. So far we have been rather successful, but wc still hope to advance our publication to the highest possible standard. SENIOR “IFS” If F.mily were a horse instead of a “Campbell. Il West were a maid instead of a “Butler.” If Frances were a whistle instead of a “Bell. If Elbert were a hymn instead of a Carroll.” If Vivian were a club instead of a Hart. If Billie were less instead of “Moore. If Frances were streets instead of “Rhodes.” If F.mmett were black instead of White. If Mary were a Ford instead of a “Hudson. If William were wrong instead of Wright.” Would the Spearmint lose its flavor on the bed-post over-night? Our football squad this year, under the guidance of Coach Stevens, and with Palmer as its Captain, hail a most successful season. During the season Suffolk lost to only two aggregations— W ' ilson and South Norfolk—by very small scores and wiped up in six big battles, raking our old conqueror, Franklin, with the topping score of 14-0. Our basketball quint, with Jack Moore as Captain, has not tailed to hold up the record of the foot¬ ball team. It has liecn one of the strongest teams Suffolk High has ever nad the luck to possess and has carried the big end of the scores in almost every game, win¬ ning over some of the teams which in past years we have considered as unconquerable. To top the season with success, we have won the Championship, B Division of Eastern Virginia. The girls, too, have done their stuff. The team has accomplished some of the best pass work ever displayed in Suffolk High’s gym. There is crack-shooting, too, and the scores of the games played have often raised to amazing pro¬ portions. The Suffolk girls scored a total of 380 points against 130 for their opponents. Seeing the success of our foot¬ ball and basketball thus reviewed, can anyone fail to look forward to that baseball season just in view? Coach Mike” Stevens, who has been pepping up Suffolk High ' s athletics for the past year and a half, has left us for a higher post. We were terribly sorry to see him go, but wc like his suc¬ cessor, Horse Hines, just fine. The “Dramatic Club,” S. H. S. ' s talented group, is going to give a P lay in the near future. The resident has been reading for two solid months, but she hasn ' t yet found the play that exactly suits her fancy. The President of Suffolk High student body, Edward Crocker, and that powerful governing bod), the Senate, were particularly favored at their last meeting with a personal address by Mr. Chase, who gave them some sound advice for this term ' s work. Our Annual, “The Peanut,” goes to the printer this week. It surely is going to be a skinner,” the best we’ve ever had. You’d better older one while there is yet time, so you won’t be sorry when it’s too late. SOME THINGS YOI OUGHT TO KNOW That Virginia Brinkley is our crack athletic reporter. That the Editor and Sponsor of “The Peanut Hull” go to school six days a week. That when Mr. Chase says a thing he doesn ' t mean “maybe. That Seniors aren’t the privi¬ leged characters underclassmen think them to be. OQ Page Fifty-eight ORGANIZATIONS THE PEANUT )e tubtnt Senate RHE STUDENT SENATE is a representative organization composed | of members elected by the student body and the various organizations of the school. The Student Senate was first established in the Suffolk | High School in 1027 for the purpose of improving and bettering con¬ ditions in every phase of activity, thereby raising our school to an enviable position and setting standards that we will be proud of in the future. This organization is the voice of the student body its voice in its own govern- ment—and a movement toward more democratic principles which will characterize the schools of the future. In this organization one may find the foundation of the future society. The system of government is very much the same as it was last year. 1 hough it is still in its infancy, it has accomplished commendable results. These have been due to the efficient work of Mr. Chase, our Adviser, Edward Crocker, our President, and the support given by the entire school body. The Student Senate is composed of students from every organization of the school, including the Presidents of each class and a representative from each Home Room. It is pre¬ sided over by the President, who is elected by the entire student body. One of the most beneficial and active committees in the Senate is the Committee on Morals, whose purpose is to try all cases of dishonesty. The members of this committee arc appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. It reports its business to the Senate regularly. The Student Senate has granted charters to several clubs in our school. Among them are: The Dramatic Club, the Glee Club, the OB Literary Society, and the Lingo Commercial Club. In addition, the Senate sponsored a drive to enroll members in the Athletic Association and it was the result cf their work that our Athletic Association has a larger membership than it has had in the history of its organization. With capable advisers, representative members and a loyal student body, we are certain of the success of the Student Senate. What organization is better able to express the inner spirit of our school? The Student Senate is the central, vital force of our student body. To this we elected representatives who continually bear in mind our spirit of true idealism. Can we not then be proud of our Senate? Can we not then keep faith in that which represents our student body? Page Fifty-nine sfetubent Senate OFFICERS Edward Crocker . President Mary Hudson Watt MrChase .

Annual THE PEANUT £bgar Lilian $3oc Hitcrarp !%ocictp N November 8, 1924, a small literary organization called the Edgar Allan Poe Literary Society was organized. Since that time, the zeal, enthusiasm, and heart-felt interest of all persons interested in this society have caused it to become a vital force in Suffolk High School. Last year was a very successful year for the Literary Society. Three members of the society, sponsored by the society, competed in the State contests for public high schools. Due to their own hard work, enthusiasm, and capability, these participants, namely: Jane Little, Katherine Coulbourne and Virginia Pharis, won State honors in debating and public speaking. This was indeed an accomplishment for the Edgar Allan Poe Literary Society as well as for the Suffolk High School. The year ’28 has not been the only successful year in the history of the Literary Society, however, for the year ’29 has proved to be one of great improvement, accomplishment and success. In the first place, the society officers, namely: Frances Bell, President; Mac Birdsong, Vice-President; Victor Bell, Secretary; and Jane Beale, Treasurer, have proved themselves capable and conscientious to the highest degree. Secondly, the society has profited greatly by the splendid suggestions and loyal support of our Society Sponsor, co-worker and adviser, Miss Cordelia Crowder. Also we have enjoyed the encouraging presence of other members of the faculty, and the increased interest and loyal support of the society members. This year we have used as material for interestingly arranged and well-pre¬ sented programs, the lives, works, and contributions of many outstanding American literary men. The choice of men has been greatly varied and we find that we have studied men of widely different origins, characteristics, and accomplishments, some of whom are: Henry Van Dyke, Edgar A. Guest and Irvin S. Cobb. One very successful enterprise to be included in this year’s program of accom¬ plishments is the publishing of a school page called The Peanut Hull every Sun¬ day in the Suffolk News-Herald. This page has been edited by a faithful and co-operative Staff, of which Vivian Harr is the Editor-in-Chief. The splendid work of this Staff and all other contributors to the success of this paper is recognized, appreciated and commended by the society. This year we leave behind us the w r ish 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 characterized all the efforts of the society during the past year.

Clearly we recall the blonde fellow who was to be our Coach, and how atten- | tively we listened as Mr. Martin introduced him. “Mike” ; Stevens arose and began to say a few words to the eager boys and girls. A deep flush, that belongs only to youths of modesty, covered his face, but his voice was rich and determined. We handed him a welcome that extended to the very day of his departure. Football, basketball and baseball—in all these he tactfully developed brain as well as brawn and gave us two years to be proud of. All those who were associated with him were devoted and loyal. Ne can best find the character of the man through those who worked under his guid¬ ance, particularly through a new spirit of sportsmanship that has reigned over the school as a result of his efforts to teach this great lesson. Not without pain did we let him go. I hat last formal appearance before the school was indeed a grievous one. Our hearts go with him to the training camp and if some of us are fortunate enough to have the privilege of seeing him in action on the diamond, our eyes will follow him in sheer admiration and rather resent the sport that means so much to him. Our greatest hope is that he will treasure the bits of relations w ith the folks down in the “Peanut Town.” Page Seventy-two £33 €5K 33 3WS5 33 ' THE PEANUT Miss Janice Greene Girls ' Coach Mr. Quimby Hines Bovs ' Coach € ur Coaches: |ISS GREENE, the Girls’ Coach, has proved herself to be one of the best we have ever had. Through her untiring efforts there has been de- | veloped a Girls’ Basketball Team which ranks as one of the highest in | this section. Her physical educational classes have been so conducted that it has been a pleasure to take Gym under her instructions. Most of all she has shown such a great interest in any games or sports of both boys and girls that she has created a most lasting friendship with all the students of Suffolk High School. Mr. Hines, our Boys’ Coach, is a former graduate of Ole Suffolk High. For many years he took quite a prominent part on this school’s athletic teams and helped to carry our colors to victory. He now returns to us, after a number of years’ experience both in college and in State physical educational work, to con¬ tinue to give his services to his Alma Mater. Although he has not been back with us very long, we can already see that we are very fortunate in obtaining him. He has made numbers of friends, especially the boys, largely through his policy of fairness. The interest which he has shown in the school and his system of training make us feel very optimistic about the future athletic standard of our school.

There were six letter men, and some of last year’s scrubs returning, with a little new material added. Coach “Mike” Stevens soon turned this material into a small but fast and smooth-working team. The schedule was about the same as last year’s, with one or two exceptions. Some of the opponents were Wilson, South Norfolk, Hopewell and Elizabeth City, which were the most formidable teams the “Peanuts” had to face. Playing great lootball, the Peanuts” defeated Hopewell and Elizabeth City, but were defeated by iIson and South Norfolk. The two latter games proved to be the closest and most thrilling ones on the schedule. . scason opened with the “Peanuts” playing the fast Courtland team at the hair Grounds. The teams were fairly well-matched, which made the game an ex¬ citing one. However, the Courtland team was unable to “break through the hard-plunging forward wall of the “Peanuts.” The bullet-like passes of halfback Moore, and the wide end runs of Russell and Small were big factors in helping the “Peanuts” to come out with the big end of a 13-0 score. After the Courtland game the “Peanuts” practiced hard to correct the few faults which were made in that contest, in order to prepare themselves for the game with the strong Wilson eleven. A large group of the student body attended this game hoping to see the fighting “Peanuts” conquer their old and mightv rivals. They were disappointed in this respect, but they were thrilled in watching the game ‘Peanuts hold their larger and more experienced rivals to but one touchdown for three quarters. It was in the last five minutes of plav that Wilson scored two touchdowns through the weary but fighting “Peanuts.” The remainder of the games were played with Elizabeth City Boys’ Club, Shiloh, Franklin, Hopewell, South Norfolk, and Elizabeth City. In these games the “Peanuts” were victorious m all except one. All of these games were characterized bv the clean playing and the sportsmanlike way in which they were won or lost. The entire backfield, composed of Morgan, quarterback; Moore, halfback; Russell, halfback; Beamon, fullback, proved to ne the most outstanding com¬ bination seen in recent years. Smith, tackle (C.); Palmer, end; and Harrell guard, were the big factors in the line. _ _ C° ch Stevens should be congratulted anil remembered for putting one ot Suffolk High s greatest football teams on the field.

There were five letter men return¬ ing—Tynes, Moore, Harris, Howell, Hart, and a likely bunch of new boys. Coach “Mike” Stevens soon had a smooth-working team and the outlook for the “Peanuts was indeed bright. The first game of the season was played with St. Mary’s. After a fast and furious contest, St. Mary’s squeezed out a 24-20 victory. Four days after the St. Mary’s game the determined “Peanuts” journeyed over to Newport News. The “Peanuts” were beaten, but they ran up the highest score made against Newport News this season by any team. By this time the team had gotten on edge and was soon beating such teams as Wilson, South Norfolk, Norfolk Business College and Oceana. The team was one of the most successful ones put on the floor by Suffolk High in a number of years. The “Peanuts” won the title of the Eastern State Champions of Class B and the right to represent Eastern Virginia in the tournament at Wash¬ ington and Lee University. Much credit ought to be given to Coach Stevens and Coach Hines. BASKETBALL , SCORES S. H. S. . 20 St. Mary’s. . 24 S. H. S. . 24 Newport News. . 46 S. H. S. . 24 Holland. . . 13 S. H.

As usual we were “de¬ termined to win. One reason for beginning so early was to enable us to contest with our opponents, Windsor and Smithfield, who, unfortunately have only outdoor courts. We played these two games st on after we started and gained a score “not bad to look at.” Don’t think we stopped at this. Instead we continued to practice and by the time the boys were ready, we were “raring to go.” The day at last came when we would meet our rivals, Holland. Oh! how we did play, and finally, we won. It may be remembered that last year we were defeated by Oceana. The} beat us by only one point, so we were determined to win the next time we met them. This vear we won with a score of 50-2. Here I shall merely mention that after a strong fight, V. A. A. defeated us by only two points. This was our first defeat and we are glad and proud to say our only defeat. The next step was to contest with Whaleyville. We first met them on our own court, and by the sturdy co-operation of our team we were victorious. These and all the other games this year were very exciting and were backed by a huge crowd of willing rooters. I think that each member of the team deserves special mention for her fine work this year, so I will now introduce to the readers Suffolk Hi’s Girls’ Basketball Team. First, we have our forwards—Mary T. Withers (“Blimp”), Frances Hutchins (“Hutchie”), and Margaret Parker (“Grit ), who played the whole year with a willing spirit. Next, comes Kmily Campbell (“Emps”), and Ruby Annas (“Ruby”), who are our guards —and how they can “stick in there!” l.ast, but not least, are our side-centers, Virginia Burger (“Burger ), Mary Sue Rawls (“Sue”), Frances Bell (“Fanny ), and our jump-center, Janice Butler (“Red ). I don’t guess it is clear to you why we have three side-centers, but to tell the truth, they are so good that we just had to have all three of ’em. These compose our first ream. We owe much to our Captain, Ruby Annas, and our Coach, Miss Greene, who have worked hard and urged us on to success. So here ' s to the team of ’30, with Miss Greene as our Coach and with a complete and perfect record. We are betting on you to defeat the teams that we were unable to beat. Ja.vicf. Bltler, ' 29.

A likely bunch of huskies reported, among whom were several lettermen from last year: Moore, fielder; Russell, shortstop; Murphy, first baseman; Morgan, pitcher; Sadler, catcher; Small, fielder. The outlook for the season was a rather good one with the exception of a lack of pitchers. Morgan, Windley and Shotten are expected to hold down that job. If they are able to do that creditably, then old S. H. S. should be on or near the top at the end of the race. SCHKDLIT, S. H. S. S. H. S. S. H. S. S. H. S. S. H. S. S. H. S. S. H. S. S. H. S. S. H.

Page Ninety-one f 8 8 THE PEANUT A WARNING TO SOPHOMORES As I wandered one day in the forest of Life, ' Mid the beauties of Nature’s perfection, I suddenly emerged on the banks of a brook, The beautiful brook of reflection. While I gazed into its sparkling depths, There appeared before mine eye, In all its usual splendor, A picture of Suffolk Hi. As I looked, the picture changed in form And I saw the Sophomore Class, The ones who are usually up to the mark. And equally hard to surpass. But, Oh, how untrue was this picture— Not the Sophomore Class that I knew— They were doing their work in a slip-shod way, Getting by with the least they could do. And there, in letters that glistened like gold, Was a warning for you, and me, too, ‘‘Give the school the best that you have. And the best will come back to you.” I watched, but the picture had faded The brook was as clear as could be. So I rushed back to warn my classmates, Of what the brook had foretold to me. Sara Spence, ’31. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS There is a class In S. H. S. Which is supreme Over all the rest. Well, can you guess, For it ' s not hard to tell? It is the Sophomore Class That stands so well.
