ATHLETICS Football Although the 1931 football season may not Im considered a success as far as pro¬ ducing a championship team is concerned, every student has a just reason to lx proud of the work of Mr. Hines and the squad. At tin- first call, thirty-five men responded. This number included only three letter men who formed the nucleus of the new team. Joe Russell, a four-letter man. was ablv assisted in tin- baekficld by (•lazier Pilnnd behind a strong line which included such players as Joe Pratt. Parker Brown, and Jape Rawls. The team deserves merit for its skill, fair playing, and sportmnnship. Baseball Although only five lettermen are back, prospects for a winning team are exceed¬ ingly bright this year. A large number of candidates reported for the first practice. Our nine is entered in the Tidewater Intcrscholatic Baseball League this year, a league which includes all the larger high schools of Tidewater Virginia. This fact means that the locals will face a stiff schedule; but from the enthusiasm the squad is showing in their practice, the Suffolk Mentor is expecting our team to win more than her share of the games. Boys ' Basketball The first call for candidates brought forth thirty five aspirants. The prospects for an efficient team were very good this year. Three lettermen. with the addition of Morgan. Pierce and Pilund. soon formed a smoothly-running team. The team won its first four games easily. The season continued successfully with the Peanuts winning a large majority of the games. These included Petersburg and Fredericksburg; the latter was last year’s state championship team. Bruce Oliver and William Morgan were the two high scorers with 231 and 196 points respectively. Girls’ Basketball The 1931 -’32 girls’ basketball season was a smashing success. The squad was picked from fifty girls, four of whom arc Seniors and lettermen from last year. Of the nine games played to date—only two were lost. Our score totals 2H9 points against our opponents ' 156—quite a margin, n ' est-ce pas? As this goes to press there arc yet four games to be played, and the Peanuts art- going out with that do or die spirit to bring home the bacon. Tu ' rnty-eight

AS OTHERS SEE LIS Continued Dyck is a real literary genius who is always ready to lend u helping hand. With¬ out l)yek our final publication would have been incomplete. Billie—the other of the Rhodes twins- is also inclined to lw a literary person. We have no inkling as to his secret ambitions, but we wish him much success! Well, the Senior Class can boast of one future “big league” baseball player. One of those strong, silent, uien-of-fcw-words, that’s J. J. who is sometimes called Pluto. ’ After having been out of school a year, Donah! came back to graduate with us. He doesn’t seem to have many interests in school. However, under his quietness, he has a jolly disposition. Our basketball star—loud and likable. Her never erasing tongue secures many ads for us. Vim, vigor, vitality—that’s “Red”! Joe participates in everything. Besides serving us a capable Student Senate President, he is our football hero. Joe ' s only weakness is brunettes—or should we say a brunette? I.ydia has been with us only a short time, but her presence is a pleasure to our class. She is a friend to all. Dark-haired and little, Graeie Mae firmly believes that “little folks should be seen and not heard. Her friendly manner attracts many. Virginia W. is certainly an asset to the commercial room. Her wit, jokes, nnd sunny disposition win for her many friends. Although Kathryn was not “peanut born” she soon became “peanut bred.” Her amicability has won for her a host of friends. Sweetness, sincerity, and dependability—these are Frances’ virtues. She has faithfully served us president of our Junior and Senior Classes. F.dnn W. always considers a loud laugh to speak a vacant mind. She is very quiet, but she displays much ability, especially in French. Worry doesn’t exist for this rather shy blond. Annie Sue has that faculty of know¬ ing when to give her opinion—and it usually bears much weight. Lula, with her nimble wit and nimble fingers, has worked her way right into our hearts. She is a leader in many ways—and she leads one more than others. Bill W. is a real dare-devil—ready to risk anything. His talents are diverse, but he refuses to make the most of them. May he overcome this. Jolly and good-natured, Agatha makes a real classmate. Always helpful and kind she is an asset to any group. Her friendly manner has made her a delight to all her classmates.
