1 The Peanut VOLUME IX Tlineteen Hundred Thirty One ‘Published by THE STUDENTS OF SUFFOLK HIGH SCHOOL SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA Dedication Mr. Francis S. Chase, who has taken the greatest amount of interest in this production and in our Senior Class and who has influenced us most, we. the class of 31 appreciatively dedi¬ cate this annual. Four L7 r panorama of happy scenes have made up our Senior year of 1931. Close-ups, long-shots, reels on reels of active days complete a perfect picture. With Suffolk High School as our setting and the pupils as players, we, the Senior class now pass before your eyes the drama of our high school life. We hope that we have placed the greatest emphasis on those things which are most important. We have tried to give each “star” his close-up and each bit of a ction, its climax. Our aim has been to give a true representation of the real Suffolk High School. Thus in the following pages our motion pic¬ ture proceeds, portraying Peanuts on Parade.

George—the leading man; the star of the show! Without his guiding hand this play of our senior year could not have been produced. George ranks as a star not only t� n the athletic Held but also in the hearts of all bis classmates. For this reason he has been given the stellar role of president which he has executed well. KATHERINE EECILLE BAINES Literary Society ’23 ’:fl; Glee Club 80 81. A quiet brunette is Katherine, whose in¬ terests for the most part lie off location. Itlushing easily, Kitty retains that trait of the old-fashioned girl. Although reserved and retiring Kitty made many friends in her high school career. KATHLEEN BAKER � • Poe I.itrnry Society ’29 ’30: Pre ident Dramatic Club ’31; Soccer T.-am 30; Sen¬ ate Award. Committee 31 : Annual Staff •31. A piquant face, an ever-read)’ smile, good nature, ability, sympathy, and most of all. brains—Kathleen. She is a com¬ posite product made up of the good and fine things, never too serious, but always ready for a good time. Instead of starr¬ ing in the cast. Kathleen is one of the staff of technicians—to be specific—one of our “camera-women.” ERWIN CARTER BRANDON Poe Lit.rary Society ’28; Forensic Club ’31; Treasurer of Athletic Association ’81; Adv.rtUimr Manast r ’Peanut’’ ’31: Ath¬ letic Alteration ’29 81. Ill a listing of the managing and direct¬ ing staff of our production. Krwin’s name s ' ands among the first, for it was always the ever-willing Krwin whom both teach¬ ers and pupils called on when they want¬ ed some particular task done. With his northern accent, Erwin came to Suffolk High, a Yankee quite willing to adopt our southern customs and be a friend to all. Twenty-Four President Class ' 29: Football Team ' 28; ' 29 ' 80; Annual Staff ' 31; Forensic Club ' 30 ' 31 : President Stud.nl Senate ’31. A lull, blue-eyed, fair-haired boy, that’s Hill, cast by the directors in one of the leading roles as an athletic hero or as head of some outstanding organization. He also lakes the part of a debater of no little merit, or then again the part of just a plain good-natured Senior, who likes all his fellow class-mates and is in turn loved by them. SARA JANE BUTLER Cheer leader ‘29 ' 80 ‘81: Basketball Team ' 29 ' 30 ' 31 : Class Treasurer SO ' 81 ; Annual Staff ' 29 ' SO ' 31; Buritrr Dramatic Club ' 80 ' 81. Our famous comedienne, the eversmil- ing Jane! As the only girl from the senior class on the basketball team, she has made her class very proud of her, for there never was another little side-center like Janey H”. To Jane’s dark brown eyes all the young males in school capitulate and with her smile and friendly greeting all the girls are won to her. JACQUE ELIZABETH COSTEN Secretary Poe Lit-Tary Socijty ' 30: Bur- Iter Dramatic Club ‘30 ‘81 ; Historical Club ' 30: Athletic Association ‘28 ' 29 ' 80 ' 81 : Senate Committee ' 81. Jacque is one of the most industrious and energetic of all the cast, whether it’s at Vergil or French grammar or at the Dramatic Club. Cheerful and always helpful, Jacque is fond of arguing. Be¬ sides being one of the honor students of the class in her studies, Jacque’s influence can be felt in all the school activities. MAMIE OLEVIA BASLER Vicc-prcwident Poe Literary Society 30: Vice-president Class ' 28. 29 ; Forensic Club ' 30 ' 31: Student Senate ' 28 ' 81; Edltor-in- Chief of Peanut Hull ' 31. Mamie stands out prominently as a lum¬ inary of the Senior cast. Dependable, en¬ tirely likeable, earnest, talented, industri¬ ous—her character rings true. Excelling in everything she undertakes. Mamie is the model senior, girl scout, student, busi¬ ness woman, and friend. Too much praise can not be said of this quiet blonde who has acted tier part with consummation. CHARLES WITHROW EURE Without Withrow this final production would certainly have been incomplete. Singing and dancing are his specialties. From the moment that the authorities realized his musical ability, he was given a permanent role in the cast, and not once has he failed the expectations. Of course Withrow has a chronic case of slowness ,1ml this is a peculiarity that makes him hVoR- likeable. ALICE MIRIAM CROMER Hunter Dramatic Club ' 29 ’80 ' 81; Poe Literary Society ' 29 ' 30; Annual Staff 31; Athletic Association ' 28 ' 29 ' 80 ' 81 : His- torieal Club ' 80. It is difficult to relate all of this player’: good qualities but briefly summarizing Alice is attractive, intellectual, and vert friendly. A merry smile, a bit of laughter a loyal nature—these give an insight int the personality of the cast’s only preach er s daughter. Alice, whose simple erect is sincerity, is a real friend to everyone MARTHA GOODE COHOON President of Poe Literary Society ' 31 ; Athletic Association ' 2 ' 30 ' 31 : Alumni Editor of Peanut Hull ' 81 : Historical Club Reporter ' 30 ; Literary Society ' 29 ' 30 ' 81. (■code is a girl whom some fail to appre¬ ciate because she is quiet and reserved. She is tall anti slender with a penchant for clothes. She has proved her ability as president of the Poe Literary Society. Walking and studying are especially dis¬ liked by her. Alabama and red-headed men are her weaknesses. Her personality can. summed up in one word—sweet. HARRIET ELSA COUNCIL Editor-in-Chief of Peanut ' 31 ; Presi¬ dent of the class ' 30 : Secretary of Forensic Club ' 81 ; Literary Editor of Peanut Hull ' 81; Secretary of Class ' 81. A real trouper, Harriet always believes in that oltl code of the stage anti screen— that the show must go on. No matter what obstacles present themselves Harriet is ever ready to overcome them and push the work to its goal. With brains and beauty, she is the ideal senior of the class. Twenty-Six THE ROBERT EURE Hobert, always singing and always late, is a real character. He, one of the famous Eure brothers, was particularly gifted at tantalizing the teachers. Mathe¬ matically inclined and filled with original ideas, he could argue for hours. A good pal to boys and girls — that’s Hobert. MARTHA ELIZABETH CROSS c9 0 Peanut Hull Staff ' 20 SO ‘81; Burner Dramatic Club ' 80 ’31 : Captain Soccer Team ‘30: Debating Team ' 30: Annual Staff ' 81. Martha has a distinct charm, something like a magnet drawing friends to her. Consequently, she won the admiration of the directors and became one of the most prominent stars of the cast. Her large brown eyes, her smile, and her attractive disposition have not only won for her a host of admirers, but are the envy of many of the fairer sex as well. HELEN ALETHIA DALTON Forensic Club ' 30 ' 81 ; Poe Literary Socl- ety Reporter ' 28 ‘29: Athletic Association ' 29 ' 30 ' 31 : Historical Club ' 80: Glee Club ' 29. Helen is quiet and unobtrusive but when you really know her, then her character is one of the most admirable and lovable in the cast. Her hobby is walking. Consci¬ entious and hard working, she is an excel¬ lent student. To describe her perfectly, Helen may fittingly be called “naive.” ROY GARLAND HARRELL Football Team ' 27 ' 28 ' 29 ' 80; Stu.lent Senate 27 ' 81 : Baseball Squad ' 29 ' 30: Treasurer Forensic Club ' 81 : Annual Staff Photographic Editor ' 31. Garland is the opposite of everything that is lazy and trilling. Colossal in strength and body, he is an untiring worker and friend. Besides his excellent work on the annual. Garland played real football. He has the distinction of making four letters in football. Due greatly to his unceasing efforts, this production of our senior year has been successful. Twenty-Seven This (all. dark boy is one of Ihe most talented persons in the east. Me is a ver¬ satile artist and a marvelous tenor. Com¬ bined with these accomplishments is the gift of writing news stories. A brilliant smile and a masculine charm have won him popularity. FONSIA DELI LA KILBY For-nsie Club ' 31 : Annual Staff ' 30 31 Pop Literary Society ' 28 ’29: Athletic Asso- ciation ’28 ’29 ’30 ’31 ; Glee Club ’29. Independence characterizes Fonsia. Pe¬ tite and vivacious, she is very fond of sports. Her high heels and peri ways are very attractive to boys. She delights in pistols and has won medals on her accur¬ ate aim in rillery. I’nder her love of fun, Fonsia has a serious nature and in her energetic moments is an amateur artist. CATHERINE VIRGINIA LUKE Burger Dramatic Club ’31 : Let Historical Club ' SO: Athletic Association ’29 ’30 ’31. Neat as a pin! Jolly ami lovable! That’s Kitty. I nsellishness — what a big word for this girl and it fits her “to a tee.” She always wears that convincing smile which seems to say that the world is still a good place to live in. These qualities, together with loyalty and friendliness, have at¬ tracted for her many friends. GUY BUELL HUME President Athletic Association ' 81 : An¬ nual Staff ‘80 ’81 : Football S iund ’30 ’81 : Student Senate ’31 ; Vice-president Class ‘31. A boyish personality and a genuine friendliness hold the secret of Buell’s popularity. His is that winning, unso¬ phisticated charm. He has real ability for mathematics and for football. Tall, slen¬ der. unselfconscious, no better liked boy can be found in Ihe senior class. This star has the admiration of the entire cast. Twenty-Eight DOROTHY HORTENSE OLIVER Gl� e Club ' 20 ' 30 31: Poe Literary Soci¬ ety 28; Athl -tie A a: ciation ' 28 ' 29 ' 30; Forensic Club ' 31. Good-natured and jolly, Dorothy does her share of talking everywhere. Al¬ though not athletiralh inclined she can generally he found on the side lines root¬ ing for her team. Dorothy is one of those necessary parts of every east —a person who, when called upon to do just one more thing, will always say, “All right.” ALEASE PIERCE A lease was the most reserved member of the east and few knew her personally. Quiet and uncomplaining, she devoted all of her time to her work. Nevertheless, in her own way she has upheld the morale of the class and has contributed to the work of the school. WILSON MARSHALL JOHNSON Buru ' r Dramatic Club ' 30 ' 31: Athl tic Association ' 28 ' -9 ' 30 ' 31: Poo l. terary Soci ty ' 29 ' 30. Throughout the picture Wilson’s name and fa e are synonymous with the fair sex. Kvery senior class needs a red hea I as a splash of color and Wilson furnishes the necessary requirements. Though in¬ tensely redheaded, he possesses an affable nature ami a cheering grin. More talent ed in dancing than in studies. ilson plays his part with distinction. .Mttna ' trr noys imsM-unu u . oon in and Troanurcr Huoc. ' r Drumnt.r Clu‘ ’30. Secretary Athletic A uciuti( n ' 80: Student Senate ' 31: Annual Staff ' 81. As an actor. Spivey needs little introduc¬ tion. His is real dramatic ability, having starred with great success in several school productions. Spivey’s carefree nat¬ ure ami happy disposition have won him many friends. Not studiously inclined, he is temperamental anti women are his chief weakness. PAUL AUGUST KENNEDY, jr. Football Si|uad ’26 ' 28 ' 29 ' 80: Dramatic Club ' 80: Monoirram Club ' 81 ; Basketball Squad ' 31; Baseball Squad 28. Paul. the great teaser of the class, has endeared himself to all by his foolishness. Tall, blonde, with a mania for pretzels and noise, he is a football and basketball player of merit. Always cheerful and nappy, there is no other like Paul—the one and only original. Beware of imita¬ tions! THE PEANUT MM LESLIE THERON JUDKINS (� ' Student Senate ' 28; Vice-president Class ' 30; Peanut Hull” Staff ' 81; Treasurer of Annual 81. Theron is one of the most helpful and obliging boys any cast ever possessed. Having business ability, his place has been in the commercial department but his quiet influence has affected the entire class. Theron’s fine qualities and admir¬ able traits have benefttted our production. FLORENCE RAY SAUNDERS Florence finished her Scientific course in February but. lucky for us. she has re¬ turned to take a post-graduate business course. Small and with one of those nice dispositions. Florence is a welcome sen¬ ior. Loyal to her class, she has done her part in filming our production. MARGARET RUTH SHOTTEN School pianiitt ' 30 ' 81 : Poe Literary Soci¬ ety ' 29 ' 30; Burger Dramatic Club ' 81 ; Glee Club pianiit ' 30 31 ; Orchestra pianist ' 30 81. Margaret is a good sport and always ready for fun. The fascinating way in which she can “tickle the ivories” marks one of her many accomplishments. Conse¬ quently, she caught the eye of the direc¬ tor and was given one of the most im¬ portant roles in the cast—that of accomp¬ anist. Ever willing to do her part and always dc| endablf are two of the factors that have made Margaret an essential ■member of the senior class. Track ’2 ' 29 ‘SO. One may term Bradley an eccentric and temperamental star, lie is not afraid to be different. His hobby is sports. Brad¬ ley is the first one to try for the athletic teams and he goes to every game every¬ where. Besides liking ice cream and sing¬ ing. Bradley is an honor roll student and is adept at cross-word puzzles. Tenacity and grit are his outstanding characteris¬ tics. Under his amusing habits and quaint ways, Bradley is made of the real thing. SARA AMELIA SPENCE Girin’ Public Reader ’30: Student Senate ”29 ’31; Annual SUIT ' 29 ’30 ’31; Bum r Dramatic Club ' 30 ' 31 : Peanut Hull ' Stull ‘29 ' 30 ' 31. A combination of wit and pithy humor, a Hair for literary work, ami a lighting spirit go to make up Sara. She has starred in several Dramatic club productions and she makes up truly one of the constella¬ tions of the senior cast. Lastly, if one ever wanted to find loyal and ever-popu- lar Sara, he had just to look for Judy. They were an inseparable pair. WILLIAM MORGAN “ilili” is one of the players who came from a ' lothei ' school to lend his talents to our senior east. Although a member but one year, he impressed upon his audience his loyally and his good prospects. He is a noteworthy basketball player. Truly he is a gem in the rough which needs only experience with the cast to change to a brilliant star. PATTIE MARGARET SPIVEY Pot Literary Society ' SL At the beginning of the last reel of our high school production. Margaret came to Suffolk from Edenton. Although with the class only during the senior year, she has proved herself one of the most congenial and winsome members of the class. Ador¬ able as a kitten. Margaret is to be lauded for her brains and her excellent spelling. Thirty-One THE PEANUT WII-I.IAM CLYDE ROGERS Poe Literary Society ' 29 ' SO: For:n� i« Club ' 30 ‘81 : Student Senate 81: Athletic AMociation ' 29 ' 30 ' 81. Shad, the talker. Shad, the curtain puller. Shad, the joker—what will the teachers tin without Shad’s nonsense? Although not athletically inclined, it is he who supplied many of the seniors with their daily means of exercise—chewing glim. Always playful, Shad has a long list of friends. Jl’LIA FLORENCE TAYLOR Manager Girl ' Basketball ‘31 : Annual Staff ‘30 81 : Student Senate ‘81; Peanut Hull Staff 29 ’30 ’81 : Burger Dramatic Club ‘30 ‘31. There’s an unusual attraction about this lovely girl which causes all whom she meets to admire her. Judy is one of those quiet, reserved persons whose presence is fell rather than heard. Cheerful anti dainty, with a soft humor that wins a quiet smile, she has won her place as a principal star in the cast. RLANCIIE O’CONNOR WRIGHT President 01?

It was said many years ago by a wise philosopher that “too much work makes Jack a dull hoy. This must be Blanche ' s motto also. Lovable, mischievous, and not loo studious, these few words describe her. The Irish gift of gab. a winning smile, and adorable ways—of such is Blanche’s win¬ ning charm.

The river means the same to Jimmy that it does to a fish. He is a real artist at playing the banjo. In class, however, we hear only an occasional outburst of haul guffaws from Jimmy. Liked by all. he remains still a mystery to the girls. — Boy ' Public Speaker ' 29 ' 0: Peanut Hull Sun ' 29 ' 80 ' .11 ; Chairman Senate Awards Committee ' 81 : Pr. id?nt Foren«ic Club ' 81 ; Manaucr Baseball ' 81. While others have lost their position as stars in the change from silent pictures to talkies, Lawrence has retained his place on account of his ability in public speak¬ ing. Besides being a good scholar. Law¬ rence is a hard worker, and although small of stature is characterized by his bigness of nature. Mis peppy dis|msilion demands action and scorns sentiment. BELLA ALEEXE WARD Librarian of Glee Club ' 81: Poe Litvrary Society ' 29 ‘30 ' 81; Athletic A� rciati n 29 ' 80 ' 81 ; Glee Club ' 80 ' 1. Pert and chic. Itella is the business girl who pounds the typewriter. Being the “boop-boop-a-doop” girl of our produc¬ tion, Bella delights all the cast by her ant¬ ics. Above all. her personality is so free from all overbearing trails that she is one of the most congenial members of 31. JULIUS SHEER Outwardly sleepy, in reality Julius is one of the shining iights and live-wires of the major east. Original and possessing the priceless knack of making the most banal things appear funny, he never al¬ lows his audience In sleep. Behind his astonishing vocabulary and twists of hu¬ mor always follows a trail of mirth. Com¬ bined intelligence and wit produce our jester, Julius. MARTHA ANNIE SITTERS! N Pranut Hull SUIT ' -81. Auburn-haired and small. Martha is a lively commercial student and a great typist for our scenario. Amiable and cheerful, she is a much needed member of our school production. This slight girl completes our constellation of senior stars. Thirty-Three - Those Seniors CA[ KVER in tlie yearly dramas of SufTolk i Ii h School life has a senior class contained so many real and brilliant stars. For four years the cast of 1931 has seemed to influence greatly the stage of the high school. Even as freshmen, the talent and ability of real actors was foreseen by those then in the leading roles. As Sophomores and Juniors the cast rose in its youth and versatility to dominate the background of the acting. At last as Seniors, all their talent culminated to produce the finest film that Suffolk High School has ever witnessed. The Senior cast has its leading actors and excellent support¬ ing players. Practically everyone has more than mediocre abil¬ ity in every phase of school work. The class may truly be term¬ ed an all-star cast. Thus it is not a one-star cast overshadowed by one player whose outstanding brilliancy seized for him the stellar role. The whole cast is so competent that this is not pos¬ sible. The talent of the cast is varied. While the majority of mem¬ bers are versed in the essentials of school life, certain actors excelled in speaking, debating, athletics, singing, writing, music, and all the specialized arts of the school. The achievements of the class are many. From the first of llu year, the leadership of the class has been dominate in Suffolk High School. For this reason, the class has been invaluable to Mr. Chase. He has never failed to use the aid and trusted efforts when he has wished something accomplished. basis of sound acting the cast has never let its scholarship record fall. Even in the midst of various senior activities the cast has made an enviable record, invariably leading the school in schol¬ astic averages. In the morale and spirit of the senior players lie the secret of their dramatic, oratorical, athletic and scholastic success. Even with the personal brilliance of the individual members, this great film could not have been produced without the co¬ operative and co-ordinative spirit among the members. All dis¬ agreements and arguments have smoothed themse lves out in the best way. A wholesome school spirit controls the actions of the entire cast. The Senior Class can not be complete without mentioning the witty and likeable senior sponsor, Miss Lillian Woodvard. Her magnetic personality and charm Have guided and helped the class throughout its senior year. Truly a class has never existed that has so combined work with gaiety, earnestness with “joie de vivre.” No other cast has assumed their roles with more ease or been more endowed with the spirit that the show must go on.

Karol McKay Addie Norfleet Dick Oliver Ellen Pruden Thomas Ramsey _ BBS fJHR Thirty-Nine Junior Class € 1JE Junior ( ' lass takes an outstanding place in our production because of its unusual interest and ability. Juniors have parts in every phase of school life. On the “Peanut Hull” half of the staff are industrious Juniors; in all the major clubs the Juniors contribute many of the talented members; Juniors play in our band and orchestra; on the annual stall ' the Juniors do pains¬ taking work; in all sports — boys’ and girls’ — the Juniors are well represented. This Junior division of the cast is in turn divided-into two home rooms. Miss Yates and Miss Chandler are the directolVpr sponsors of these two groups of Junior students. Miss Chand¬ ler’s room has selected the name of Westover by which to be known. Each room has its separate officers and committees. Josephine Taylor, president; Fletcher Gray, vice-president; Mar¬ garet Jones, secretary and treasurer make up the officers of Westover. Westover’s representative to the Student Senate is Margaret Manning. Westover won the Senate Award for November. This class room ranks first among the home rooms to attain one hundred percent in the Peanut subscription drive. The efficient committees of Westover were Deportment, Hubert Eure, chairman; Scholarship, Willie Jordan, chairman; Housekeeping, Elizabeth Atkinson, chairman. The officers of Miss Yates’ room are Joe Russell, president and incidentlv a marvelous athletic star; Mary Virginia Johnson, vice-president; Frances Wells, secretary and treasurer; and Jape Forty-One Rawls, Senate representative. Aiding these officers the Home room committee, Frances Wells, chairman; Scholarship commit¬ tee, Mary Finn Holland, chairman; Program committee, Virginia Riddick, chairman, carry out their designated duties. Roth rooms of the Junior class give very interesting pro¬ grams and all the members take part in the home room programs with a maximum of enthusiasm. The whole class stands staunch¬ ly back of any project which is for the interest and welfare of the school. The stars of this Junior class are Frances Wells, the blonde, industrious, friendly president; Margaret Manning, the swift, athletic vice-president; Virginia Riddick, the flaming-haired, care free secretary; and Johnny Brandon, the literary-inclined treasurer. These constitute the officials of the class but there are other outstanding actors. Who can imagine the Junior class without that prize comedian, Jimmy McLemore, without humor¬ ous Ferdie, without sleepv-eyed Stanley, without pretty, musical Lulu Windlev, without red-haired Jimmy Bullock — and on down the line of lively, vivacious, brilliant Juniors. With their usual aptness and ability, the Junior class is mak¬ ing a huge success working on the Junior-Senior Reception. This reception is one of the spot-lights of the whole year. Therefore, through this picture of our school life always are Juniors, taking part in every part of it and making our PARADE more vivid and colorful. Thus the Juniors are striving successfully in every way to act their parts well so that they may capably take the role of stars in next year’s production.

This class has a menagerie which is quite extensive. It has speci¬ mens of all kinds of animals and insects. Its exhibitions at the Four Coun¬ ty Fair are famous. One of the features of the class is a balanced aquar¬ ium. To keep the animals fed, the plants watered, and to notice the pro¬ gress of each, a committee has been chosen, toe many new, strange things of science are (Misted on a bulletin board. The president is James McLemore, the boy with the sea-craze. Boats are his weakness. The other star actors of 10-B are Eva Mae Barnes, vice- president; Helen Churn, secretary and treasurer; Margaret Kiev, Student Senate representative; and Mary Holmes Butler, reporter. Margaret Kiev is in charge of the cliupel and Dick Rhodes supervises the attendance of the class. The Program Committee is composed of Rosa Lee Milteer, Mary Holmes Butler, and C. P. Holland. Also there is the Housekeeping Com¬ mittee of Tillman Cooley, Charles Smith and Alison Sadler. This class has its share of good actors. There are Dick and Billy, the Rhodes twins. No one in school can equal Thomas Ramsey on his cornet. Alison Sadler is one of the best baseball players in the school. Another athlete is Bruce Oliver, who plays such excellent basketball. Too, the class possesses such attractions as Mary Holmes Butler, Helen Churn, and Mar¬ garet Kiev and such notables as C. P. Holland and Charles Smith. This class is proud to have the hoys’ public speaker for this year, Dick Rhodes. Dick has a great future in speaking. Also the class possesses one of the most promising baseball pitchers, .1. J. Richards. Much talent is shown in every direction and a real future lies before this class. With the aristocratic Miss Hurflf as director, the class has a distingish- ed record.

With Miss King leading the list as teacher and director, the luminaries of Ibis room are Jimmy Murphy, president; P. (1. Kverette, vice-president; Edytlie Ballard, secretary; and Jack Artman, Student Senate represent¬ ative. To serve the various needs of the room four committees have been chosen. The first is the Home Boom Appearance Committee with Nell Sheffield as chairman and Frances Eason and Bernice Jones as assistants. Marion Bradshaw heads the Attendance and Tardiness Committee, com¬ posed of Evelyn Burchett and Graham Harrell. There is also the Social Committee with I.. H. Rawles, chairman and C. B. Bond, assistant. The Program Committee, with Evelyn Baines as chairman and Jack Brothers and Lee Clair Holton as assistants, completes the committees. This class is filled with lively personalities. Marion Bradshaw and Evelyn Burchett are the leading coquettes and vie in popularity. Then, too, Helen Oliver’s eyes can not be overlooked. The voice of Frances Eason upholds the class in music. Horace Johnson has no rival in foolishness. Garland Jones is a living fashion plate. Tall and lanky. Jack Artman and B. G. Everette are familiar figures. Lastly, what could the class do with¬ out the Irish element, Jimmy Murphy. A word must l e said of Miss King, the petite French teacher who has directed the class so ably.

A boy who likes to plague the teachers is Harry Honeycutt, who gets his share of fun out of life and who spends more than his share of time with teachers after school. And there’s the president, Parker Brown, a quiet, brown-eyed boy who has real worth and ability in him. He heads an able cast that has sup¬ ported this production well and has entered in every contest with enthu¬ siasm.

The DA-1, with Miss Ramsey as director, has portrayed its part equally as well as DA-2 directed by Miss Stakes. With Marguerite Bell as president, Ira Moore as vice-president, Edith Council as secretary, and Dorothy Howell as representative to the Student Senate, the DA-1 class has shown good results. This class has many interesting individualities. Marguerite Bell, the president, is also a strong guard in basketball. To prophesy, she will he one of the l est athletes in the school. Edith Council, also another officer, bus done excellent art work for the annual and for display posters. The class possesses one archeologist, Archie Martin, an eagle scout, who has helped his father assemble a rare collection of stones and such matter.

The officers of DA-2 are A. I). Brinkley, president; Charles Wilson, vice-president and Senate representative; and Lula Lee Baker, secretary and treasurer. A. L. Holland and Jessie Carroll are in charge of Thrift. From the first of the year the room has been organized into two teams called the Beds and Blacks. A contest was staged based on scholarship, conduct, absences, tardies, the annual drive, the thrift drive, and the tinfoil drive. The Blacks won and were entertained hy the Beds at Lake Cohoon at a picnic supper. In this class we have the jolly, good Matured, fat boy, William Henry Cox. A. I). Brinkley is the brilliant athlete of the class, starring in foot¬ ball and basketball. Here also we have the champion doggers, Mildred (ireen and Dorothy Sutton. Lula Lee Baker balances the talent with an unusually good voice and a gift at playing the violin. The classes of this cast have proved their ability undoubtedly. Miss Ramsey’s room has an excellent showing in the KEMPY ticket contest. Miss Stakes’ room is showing its progressive ness in its school betterment program. With such initiative ami energy, both of these divisions of the Freshman class have proved themselves good workers and versatile actors.

The stars of this class are Frances Dickson, president; Kleanor Hethorn, vice-president; Linwood Kure, secretary and treasurer; and Frank Laderberg, Student Senate repre¬ sentative. The class gives interesting homeroom programs under the in¬ struction of the leaders. The 8 B-2 is led by Miss Mae Bailey. IVarl Lucas is president and also representative to the Student Senate. Helen Mitchell is vice-president ami Kli .abeth Mitchell is combined secretary and treasurer. Miss Mae’s room is one of the best kept and decorated in school and her mottoes are famous Miss Dora’s room is noted for its Bible verses. In this room is Wood- row Kllis, the star of the boys’ basketball team. Another athlete is Vivian Brittain, who has made the girls’ soccer team. Miss Dora’s room was the first to pay for their annual pictures. Another member is Linwood Kure, the class business man whose specialty is intricate dancing. Here also resides Gray Watkins, the quietest boy in school and Hiram Ward, future ladies’ man and football player.

At the first of the year the X A-l chose Stratford for its name. With the exception of two weeks, this class has led the whole school in hanking deposits. In the whole year the class has saved over one hun¬ dred dollars. The Thrift Banner, the prize each month to the thriftiest class, has remained almost entirely with this room. Moreover Stratford has won the Senate Award and has merited spe¬ cial mention one other month. The scholarship average of Stratford is unusually high . The class has averaged three honor roll pupils each month and sometimes six. The prominent stars of this room are the diminutive Bettie Ball Lum- inis, president; Langford Jones, vice-president and Student Senate repre¬ sentative; and Boh Eason, secretary. The Five Minute Committee with Elizabeth Howell, chairman, were the two committees selected by the class. Stratford is an excellent class which has acted its part admirably well this year. Miss Vincent is the director of the 8 A-2 class. The class officers are: president, Norman Richardson; vice-president, Charlotte Simmons; and secretary, Aubrey Rhea. In this class is Harrell Pratt, the football player who always claims he’s cuckoo. Then there’s Charlotte Simmons who, with Harriet Kiev, acted so well the part of maid in the Fashion show. Dancing talent lies in the cast. Doris Swain and Bettie Ball Lummis of Miss Daughtrey’s 8 A-l class proved their grace and skill in a Spanish dance which they have given in assembly. This class has, too, the brother of one of our principals and teachers, Mr. Howard Richardson. Norman takes a very real part in the cast. The whole section of the eighth grade is a fully alive and progressive one which forecasts considerable merit for the future.

To aid in the Thrift campaign of the class, Jean Kern has been chosen as teller and Anne Cross as cashier. This part of the 7 B cast holds some of the younger brothers and sis¬ ters of our Senior high school stars. There is Jack Spence the slight, casual brother of our witty Senior Sara; there is Uriah Coulbourn, brother of the president of the Student Senate. He will be a leader just as Bill is now.

And this class holds Dorothy Holland, the chatter box and Ann Holton, the pretty flirt. Lastly there are the two directors of these classes. Miss Rawles, di¬ rector of 7 B-l, is one of the most popular directors. She was one of the favorite models of our school fashion show, being a true Southern l eauty. Mr. ( ' rocker, who is one of the two men teachers, is a skilled artist and sponsors the Art Club. The 7 B will have a large share of the acting to do in the future.

The president of 7 A-2 is Polly Pinner. The other pupils who hold stellar jxtsitions are Virginia West, vice-president; Tony Hobbs, secretary; Ida Mae Hedgepeth, treasurer; ami Jack Riddick, Student Senate repre¬ sentative. There are four committees, the Scholarship. Housekeeping. At¬ tendance and Banking. Nellie Pinner is the chairman of the Scholarship Committee; Mary Harrell is the chairman of the Housekeeping Committee; • Virginia West is the chairman of the Attendance Committee. The Banking Committee is composed of William Henry Sheffield ami Kmily Krize. This room has a chart for savers in order to increase the thrift. The boys and girls are divided into rival teams. They also have a chart show¬ ing attendance averages. This class in the program contest gave one of the most excellent in the whole school. Some personalities here are Polly Pinner, the pretty fashion show model and Virginia West, better known as Jinky, who is very athletic and popular. This cast also contains the school favorite. Holmes Small and the slow, happy-go-lucky Spotswood Smith. Frank Simonetti ably represents the class in the hand. The star offices of the 7 A-l are held by Margaret Cooley, president; Anne Davis, vice-president; Rachel Crocker, secretary ami treasurer; and •toe Berman, Student Senate representative. The committees of this class rotate every week to get a maximum number of pupils to participate. This class has made a horse-shoe ring on the school grounds for the amuse¬ ment of the room. Besides this, the 7 A-l class really has the welfare of the school at heart and has carried out some progressive reforms. 7 A-l features such luminaries as Lyman Brothers, the young banker; Ben Churn, the athlete; Jack Palmer, the play lx y; Anne Davis, the singer; and Bettie Butler, the model (iirl Scout. This 7 A grade is quickly taking on the responsibilities of Suffolk High School life and assuming its part. Sixty-Sis All Hie efforts of the Student Semite since its installation in 1927 have culminated to make the Student Senate of HEM the most effective in tin life of the school. This ruling body of our cast is dignified and industrious. Each mem¬ ber is chosen to represent his class or club but each considers the welfare of the school as the greatest aim. With the assistance and guidance of the Student Senate director, Mr. Chase, ami with the leadership of its brilliant actor and president. Hill Coulbourn, the Student Senate has accomplished the execution of several projects designed for the benefit of the entire school. To have tin highest degree of efficiency, Sara Spence has been chosen secretary. From the supporting cast of the Senate, several committees have been selected to deal with special duties. The committees with their heads are: Public Morals, George Beamon; Building and Grounds, Garland Harrell and Mamie Basler; (Tubs. Judy Taylor; Sportsmanship, Spivey Howell and Jane Butler; and Senate Awards, Lawrence White. The pur¬ pose of these committees is to make more effective the work of the Senate. Questions that come within the jurisdiction of any of these committees, the President refers to them. The committee carefully studies the condi¬ tions. At the following meeting the chairman makes a report to the Sen¬ ate on the results of the investigation. With such co-operation ami spirit among the cast, this organization has had the finest possible results. These can be noticed in every phase of our school life. The Student Senate’s influence has raised the standards of our sc hool and has strengthened the morale of the student body. The aim of the Student Senate is the improvement of the school and the introduction of more democratic principles. The Student Senate of HEM has done much to carry out this aim.

Sixty-Nine The Burger Dramatic Club is one of the most important major clubs that features in our production. With twenty earnest, interested members, this one takes a big part in the school life. The president, Kathleen Baker, and the secretary and treasurer, Fran¬ ces Wells, constitute the directors of the club. The sponsor, noted for her sweet disposition and willingness to work, is Miss Elizabeth Chandler. To belong to the club, each applicant must pass a tryout before the president and Miss Chandler and Mr. Norfleet. Only twenty members are allowed each year. This gives the club an exclusiveness that it deserves. The Burger Dramatic Club meets on Thursdays in activity periods. Interesting and instructive programs are given by the members on matters pertaining to the drama. The club lias produced several short plays for the benefit and enjoy¬ ment of the high school but its real peak is reached with the producing of the high school annual play. This year the play is Kempy, a comedy of American small town life. The roles are taken by club members and non¬ members. The heroine, Kate, is portrayed by Martha Cross; the hero, Kempy, is acted by Bill Coulbourn. One of the leading roles, that of Duke, is taken admirably by Paul Kennedy. Jane Butler has a stellar role as Ruth, the younger sister. Other important parts are taken by Mamie Bas- ler and Glazier Piland as Ma and Pa Bence. Featuring also are Harriet Council as Jane Wade, the married daughter, and Wilson Johnson as Ben Wade, her self-satisfied husband. The greatest part of the proceeds go to the financing of the “Peanut.” Tantalizing to outsiders are the club pins, silver actor’s masques with guards. These attractive pi ns add zest to the club life. Always striving for a higher goal, this club is climbing for success. With its able leadership and progressive spirit, the Burger Dramatic Club has a real future.

Our cast had to he trained in voice modulation, poise, and self-confidence. This is the purpose of the Forensic Club. Although it has been in existence only two years, the club has grown in that short time to he one of the most outstanding in school. Besides training its members in the art of speaking easily, the club also successfully aids the debaters ami public speakers and readers for participation in the state contests. Under the guidance of the able sponsors. Mr. Chase and Miss Wood- yard. the meetings of the club are devoted entirely to the interests of public speaking. The club is not an exclusive group for select students. The members are not necessarily good speakers, but they are better speakers after the excellent training in this club. Three of the roles of the production. Kempy, were portrayed by mem¬ bers of the Forensic (dub. These, partly due to their splendid voice train¬ ing in this club, were very successful in their roles. Many of the star actors and actresses owe their success in our talking picture to the Forensic Club. The weekly club meetings are instructive, enthusiastic, and entertaining; they uphold the principle of the club in putting instruction ahead of entertainment. The spirit of the club is truly exemplified in the code which the mem¬ bers have drawn up and pledged themselves to abide by. This code shows their willingness to work and shows evidence that the members are mak¬ ing the Forensic Club one of the most progressive in school. It is quite remarkable that a great number of the cast preferred to join this club where each is required to work, rather than to join a club strictly for entertainment. The reason for its rapid growth, perhaps, is the excellent leadership, the principles, and the successful training of the Forensic Club.

Its cast is devoted to the literature and lives of the best writers. It has a new sponsor this year. Miss Blonnie Johnson, who has capably directed the club. The star of the club is Goode Column, president, who has acted her part well. This year a general program on literature has been decided upon. This gives a wide scope of study and allows the members to become ac¬ quainted with all type ' s and nationalities of authors. A contest is held at each meeting and a prize is given to the winner. To enable the greater number of members to participate two people are chosen each time to prepare a program for the succeeding meeting. Edgar Allan Poe, of course, is the author who is studied most thoroughly. Fun holds a large place in the Poe Literary Society. The initiations are always great frolics and sometimes times of embarrassment and fear for the new actors. This year’s initiation was no exception and all the “extras” were converted into full-fledged stars with much gaity. The new stars thus win the privilege of wearing the Society’s pin, a gold owl with wise ruby eyes. The club has had many outings, of which an outstanding one was a picnic at Lake Column. This was greatly enjoyed by the club members. The Poe Literary Society in the past has featured two of our present greatest successes, the literary contests and the school paper. “The Peanut Hull.” This society began these two projects of our school life. The ora¬ torical contests are now trained by the Forensic (dub and the paper is an independent institution but much credit must go to the club which first sponsored them. Much can be expected from this progressive club wbieli emphasizes culture and the finer arts in school. Seventy-Four POE LITERARY SOCIETY GOODE COHOON.

Miss Irma Hurff, the biology teacher, is the sponsor of this club. Maurice Hern¬ don stars as the president. The other satellites are Frances Wilson, vice- president; Jimmie Hawlex, secretary; and Kvelyn Haines, treasurer. The club ' s programs have dealt with interesting plants and animals. These studies of beautifying surroundings ami encouraging plant and ani¬ mal life have not been only theories but the club bus actually carried them into practice around our school. Much constructive work lias been done in improving the ravine on the hillside of the school and the other sur¬ rounding of the school grounds. This work is indeed needed. For that reason the Biology Club lias rapidly taken its place and position in school life as a civic and beautifying organization. An instructive and fascinating exhibit was made at the Four County Fair, showing an ant home and “Beach at Kbbtidc.” The latter showed the plant and animal life from the beach at ( ' ape Henry, Virginia. These exhibits showed real work and ingenuity. They were among the best at the Fair. Besides these, many Held trips have been made to study nature at first hand. These have brought the members of this scientific cast into actual contact with the things studied in the club room. These trips are invaluable in making nature and plant life more real to the club. All is not study in this club however. A picnic supper was given by the club during the year and the supper was prepared over the camp fire. Fun takes a big place in this club and these outdoor picnics serve a double purpose. A comparatively new organization, the Aristotle Biology Club, has shown real growth and progress. Its members evidence a deep interest in their work. This club has taken a worthy part in the staging of our pro¬ duction. In the future this club is expected to play a still larger part in our school life. Seventy-8ix ARISTOTLE BIOLOGY CLl B MAFRICE HERNDON, President FRANCES WILSON.

This important phase of our production originated in 1928. It consisted of three columns in each Saturday issue of our local newspaper and was sponsored by the Poe Literary Society. Miss Cordelia Crowder was the head of it then. With such a successful and progressive beginning the “Peanut Hull” has rapidly grown as the news of the school has increased and expanded. Because of the increase of news a fidl page was set aside in 1929 for this important publication of our high school life and the paper was placed on a more journalistic basis. 1930 brought with it a new sponsor for the school news, a winning personality, Miss Frances Birdsong. Under her guidance and with her un¬ ceasing efforts and suggestions the paper became very progressive. At this time the “Peanut Hull” was taken from the sponsorship of the Poe Literary Society and made into an independent organization with a spon¬ sor of its own. 1 his year the ‘Peanut Hull” has taken a prominent, foremost part in our high school life and therefore its influence must be reflected in our production. Mr. Filmore Norfleet is this year’s sponsor. His is the dis¬ tinction of being the first man sponsor of the newspaper. At weekly meet¬ ings, assignments are allotted to each member of the stall ' . Three of the most invaluable members of the “Peanut Hull” are Tlieron Judkins, Elizabeth Johnson, and Martha Sitterson, the competent typists of the stall ' . Their unceasing work makes each weekly publication possible. Thus the paper has become an instrument of school public opin¬ ion and an up-to-date sheet of events. Mamie Basler, the editor-in-chief is noted for her ability as a news¬ paper woman and she has proved her capablencss as head of this publica¬ tion. Finally, the “Peanut Hull” is a product of the hard work, persever¬ ance. and co-operation of each member and thus has a prominent place in our high school production.

Under the capable direction of our sponsor. Miss Gladys Yates, the staff has worked steadily since the first of this school year. Harriet Council, editor-in-chief, George Beamon, business manager, Julia Taylor, secretary, Maurice Herndon, art editor, and Fran¬ ces Wells, assistant editor compose the annual board. The scenario writ¬ ers of the production are Johnny Brandon, Lawrence White, and Sara Spence, headed by the editor-in-chief. Julia Taylor also has helped much in writing the scenario (if this film. On the business and financial side of the “Peanut,” Krwin Brandon deserves a great deal of credit for his unceasing efforts as Advertising Manager and Assistant Business Manager. He and his staff have been the “props” in working out our financial plan. In our Photographic department our head camera man has been Gar¬ land Harrell. Garland made swift and efficient execution of his camera work. Kathleen Baker and Alice Cromer, assistant camera women, have shown much skill in their tasks. Our director of the Circulation Department is Frances Wells, assisted by Buell Hume, Lula Windley, and Fonsia Kilby. These have pushed the annual drive forward and have shown real ability. In connection with this line of the production is Theron Judkins, the most dependable and efficient treasurer of whom any production ever boasted. Our artists are Maurice Herndon and Edith Council, whose ability and talent are evidenced in the drawings dispersed in this publication. Lastly, our faithful typists, Theron Judkins, Martha Sitterson, and Elizabeth Johnson, have featured throughout the year as unusual workers and helpers. Our staff never could have been complete without them. The whole production has been made possible by the commendable co-operation and steady work of the whole staff , aided by the splendid leadership of Miss Yates. Ninety _ The 1930-31 girls’ basketball season lias proved to be a glorious one. This major athletic cast has held many stars this season. Early in October the entrants came out for the team ami an excellent one was composed. Although the team lost three stars last year at gradu¬ ation, it has a spirited personnel and commendable teamwork. This year the girls ' team has played some games out of town. The members are very elated over this and every one has fully enjoyed these contests. Four teachers have been very accommodating about serving as chaperones at the night out-of-town games. These are Miss Chandler, Miss Hurt! ' , Miss Klsea and Miss Woodyard. Elizabeth Herbert and Antha Sadler have made outstanding records as forwards. Three other supporting forwards are Edna Jaflfee, Evelyn Bur¬ chett and Mildred Green. The guards were represented ably by Margaret Manning, Marion Bradshaw, and Mary Virginia Johnson. Marguerite Bell also has shown the makings of a real athlete. “Red” Riddick carries off the honors as jumping center although Violet Volper plays well. Jane Butler, the only Senior on the team, is a fast side center. Rachel Wills also shares the honors of side center. The whole squad has played with splendid teamwork and co-operation. Girls’ basketball is one of the main features of our production.

Athletics is one of Hit most important features in our hi li school production. Of our three major sports, football is probably the favorite. At the first of football season of 1930 almost forty boys applied for uniforms to practice. The first two weeks of training are the hardest part of the season but the boys were willing to work. All through the foot¬ ball season the squad has worked with fighting, determined good sports¬ manship and nerve. As a result the team has a splendid record and boasts a four letter man. Garland Harrell. The student body has truly supported the football team at all the games. Enthusiastic students, teachers, and outsiders have rooted and cheered from the sideline, helping the team to win. Out of ten games played this season, Suffolk High School has won four, lost five, ami tied one. The team possesses some talented football players. Glazier Piland is one of the most promising players in the school. He has a real football future before him. The whole team is an outstand¬ ing one. The manager. Ferdie Johnson, did his work in a very efficient way. Coach Hines is proud of his team and the student botlv is no less proud of it also. Football has a brilliant place in our production.

PEARCE Boys’ basketball is one of the winter highlights of the school produc¬ tion. It creates great enthusiasm and excitement. This year Coach Hines turned an entirely new squad into a strong basketball team. James Ward, guard and center, is the outstanding player on the court. He has won a place on the third team of the State Class B basketball. Bruce Oliver is the high scorer of the team. Walton Stallings, another guard, is a dependable fighting player. Woodrow Ellis, forward, is a bril¬ liant player. His average in points was high. A. 1). Brinkley is the fastest member of the squad. As forward and guard, he played with all his strength and speed. Lawrence Oliver, forward, also made a good show¬ ing for himself. George Beamon is a fast, stubborn, fighting player. Paul Kennedy is a strong, defensive player. Walton Brinkley’s playing shows that a lot can be expected from him next year. Suffolk High has won nine games and has lost nine games. Suffolk’s team has been victor in every class B game. The team is the champion of Class B in tidewater Virginia.

The notice “All boys interested in baseball report in the auditorium after school” caught Suffolk High ' s attention and many extras applied for a part in this feature of the production. A few men who have come out were last year’s players. These in¬ clude Pratt, catch; Bussell, first baseman; Coulhourn, left field and Bea¬ mon. pitch. These veterans have been destined to play an important part in many games throughout the season. At the beginning of the season there were a few places in the team to he filled. A first baseman, pitcher, second baseman, center fielder, and rigli fielder have bad to Ik picked from the applicants. The remaining places were tilled from last year’s second team. The season’s first team was played in Franklin, with Suffolk winning with an 8-5 score. The next game with Petersburg was played in Suffolk. In this game both teams showed a fighting spirit that made the game an interesting one ending with a fi-fi score. The remaining part of the season has been spent in playing off a successful schedule in which Suffolk High has shown good spirit and real sportsmanship. Games have been played with many large schools such as Petersburg, Maury, Wilson and Hampton. Tile cast of the 1931 Peanut baseball team truly deserves credit for their ability, skill, and sportsmanship.
