PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF SUFFOLK HIGH SCHOOL SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA ' V DEDICAT Ite tutu ut U 1 O Miss Irma Hurff we have dedicated this Volume XVI of The Peanut. There are many reasons for this dedication; chiefly, her simple cour¬ age, her strong character, her loyal spirit, her sincere at¬ titude toward us all, her appreciation for what we are, and her help in making us what we ought to be. FOREWORD • • • If this volume of The Peanut can impart to you, the students of Suffolk High School, the joys, the loyalties, and the friends we have known, it will have served its purpose. • • • May the students who have lived in these halls and have done the things that these pictures and words illustrate, always have a pleasant memory of Suffolk High School. • • • To those who are to come we pre¬ sent this, our book of memories, in the hope that they may find life here just as pleasant as we have found it.

Page T wenty-one THE SENIOR HIGHLIGHTS OF 1937-1938 With a strange sort of sadness eighty-six young people, the Class of 1938, returned to Suffolk High School in September. This was their last year, and every day counted. During the first weeks of their final career as high school students, the seniors ' entire attention was focused on electing Joe Baglcy president of the Student Body and Joe Brown president of their Class. Simultaneously with these appeared the first issue of the Peanut Picker, edited by Mary Hobbs with Martha Virginia Elam, business manager, and a competent staff of assistants. Thus extra-curricular activities of the school were begun. Then came the official opening of football season with a game against the Apprentice at Sewanee Stadium, Portsmouth, October 2 5. Closely followed the organization of the Glee Club with the unanimous election of Ruth Jones as president, and the formation of Ijt Circle Franyais with Mary McKay, president. A new club, the Boys’ Hi-Y led by Mason Marks, was added to Suffolk High’s activities. Within the month of October the officers together with three other seniors selected a class ring and announcements. On October 22, the ring was ordered. The first senior chapel program was presented October 13. The social activities of the school were formally opened when the seniors sponsored a dance for the benefit of The Peanut. On November 8, during American Education Week, the Senate undertook its first important activity when it sponsored Patrons’ Night. After the Thanksgiving holidays the seniors were thrown into the excitement of pre-Christmas activities. The Peanut staff was selected with Bcttie Lee Stutson as editor and Dorothy Johnson as business manager. On December 10, Yours Truly , Willie was presented as the annual dramatic production. Five days later the basketball season began against the Nansemond County All-Stars. On this date the class rings arrived. At the last chapel program before the school was dismissed for the holidays, the Glee Club gave a beautiful candle lighted cantata. When the students returned January 3, work was resumed and examinations were soon upon them. The seniors had begun their last semester at Suffolk High School. The first affair of the new term was a tea given in the new apartment of the Home Economics Department for girls interested in forming a Hi-Y Club. Girls of the Norfolk Student Club were guests. A week later Emma Jane Hagan was elected president of this newly formed club. Margaret Eaton, president of Sigma Sigma, made preparations for a successful George Washington dance, given February 21. Suffolk High School prepared for the Student Cooperative Association meeting which was held in Suffolk, March 18, with over a hundred delegates from Tidewater present. During the next month the school was humming with tryouts and preparations for the Virginia Literary and Athletic League contests. Preliminaries were held at Norfolk, April 22, and the winners entered the state meet at Charlottesville, May 6 and 7. For the first time in the history of the school a Spring Sports Queen, Evelyn Eason, was crowned. The coronation took place at a brilliant dance, April 18, which was given for the benefit of Spring Sports, and was planned and executed by the members of the Monogram Club, led by their president, Joe Bagiev. All previous operettas were surpassed when the Glee Club presented its annual operetta, May 13. The Belle of Bagdad established for all times the supremacy of the Club. Then came the last examinations, the final rush, the Junior-Senior Ball, the excitement and thrill of mailing announcements of graduation, the Cap and Gown Chapel, May 25— and most wonderful of all. the reward that comes after twelve years of continuous study—June 3—GRADUATION!

Page Thirty-one The future stars of stage and screen do a little play-acting here in the bi-weekly Dramatics class. Recently they presented two one-act plays. Journalism is taught twice a week to these students, editors and reporters of the Peanut Picker, shown here at work in the staff room. The students declaiming many things in loud voices and gesturing wildly arc but members of the Public Speaking class. Page Tbirty-tuo Page Thirty-three These students arc cozily at home in the luxurious living-room of the three-room apartment in the Home Economics Department. Patiently waiting for the last course, these three couples discuss affairs as they sit in the apartment’s dining-room. Four Home Economics students demonstrate the time-saving devices in use in one of the most model high school kitchens in the state. Young chemists spend many hours here in the Chemistry and Physics laboratory making experiments with Miss Elizabeth Elsca in attendance. Most of the knowledge in the high school is contained within the four walls of this sanctum, the library, where Miss Harriett Council reigns supreme. These pupils are regarding specimens in their study of living things in the Biology laboratory under the watchful gaze of Miss Irma tlurif, instructor. Page Thirty-four This is a section of the General Shop where young workmen hammer and saw or build and re-build many things according to specifications of Instructor George Koenig. The busy click of typewriters from this typing room in the Commercial Department is heard all over school when future stenographers are at work. The safety of Suffolk citizens rests in the hands of the high school students taking Driver Training under the supervision of Mr. John Pitzer and Miss Emily Pittman. Page Thirty-five On this sunny breeze-swept field during spring days the Physical Education classes meet to play that universal sport—baseball. A familiar scene in early September and February is this when students rush to the book store in haste to purchase new texts. This picture illustrates one use of the Physical Education office, weighing and examining pupils. Coaches Pittman, Hawkins, and Pitzcr have their headquarters here.

Secretary Mr. Francis S. Chase . Sponsor Chief among the duties of the Student Senate, the student governing body of Suffolk High School, arc granting charters to organizations desiring school sponsorship, sponsoring a Patrons’ Night at which time patrons of the school are officially invited to visit the school, and awarding Honor Awards to outstanding students. Members of the Senate are students popularly elected to represent their homerooms. The election of the Student Senate president is the only election in the school in which every student participates. Circles inscribed with an S, awarded to students who have developed an all-around personality, including a grade of mastery or better on four subjects and partici¬ pation in extra-curricular activities, were presented to Anne Bradshaw, Elaine Mehalko, and Elizabeth Smith. Triangles, symbolic of outstanding achievement in a single activity, and also inscribed with the letter S, were awarded Joe Bagley, Joe Brown, Dorothy Johnson, An¬ nette Rogers, and Walter Story. Students proposed for such awards are carefully considered by the Senate and a unanimous vote is necessary for final approval.

THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE Bettie Lee Stutson . Chairman Joe Bacley. Ex-Officio Member Mr, Francis S. Chase . Sponsor At the beginning of the 1937-38 term the President of the Student Senate appointed a Ways and Means Committee. Members were: Bettie Lee Stutson, chairman; Virginia Barton, Emmett Hines, George Hudgins, Claudia Moser, and Judith Wilson. Their duties were to plan the meetings of the Senate and present business in parliamentary form. It was found that a survey of student organizations and activities was needed; it was also desired that students share a larger responsibility in school management, and so, with these objectives the Committee was reorganized. New members, Joe Brown, Margaret Eaton, Elaine Mchalko, Eleanor Scott, and Walter Story, were added. The reorganization plan was to appoint each mem¬ ber of the Ways and Means Committee chairman of a committee to supervise a school activity. Three such committees were set up: a club committee, Margaret Eaton, chairman; a Building and Grounds Committee, Elaine Mehalko, chairman; and an Assembly Committee, Judith Wilson, chairman. Two outstanding accomplishments of the Ways and Means Committee were an investigation of cheating and the arranging and carrying out of all plans for the Student Cooperative Association meeting.

Sponsors The newspapers! -not that I ever read 0 Sir, they are the most villainous, licentious, abominable, infernal them! No, 1 make it a rule never to look into a newspaper!” Those are the feelings of the editors of that five- star edition of Suffolk High School, the Peanut Picker, on Wednesday afternoon when the feature and sports pages come out short and front page news just can’t be found. As for the rest of the quotation, when the bewil¬ dered editors receive their copies Friday afternoons, they follow its advice and shudder to look at the Peanut Picker. But would they give it up? No, for once they work on the paper, they can’t escape the sheer fun of working on it again. MARY HOBBS Page Forty Seated: Elam, Mist Baslcr, Moore, White, Cross, Cohoon.

Sponsors Many members of the Business Staff of the Peanut Picker spend countless, feet- tiring hours canvassing local merchants for the ever necessary ads. Always in a hurry, anxious to secure advertisers, rushing against a deadline, these students work as hard as any group in Suffolk High. One, two, three,” and so on goes the chant of the circulation department of the Business Staff, Suffolk High’s news girls, as they count out papers. This ritual is performed each Friday as soon as the Peanut Picker comes off the press. Early in September four industrious seniors, Doro¬ thy Johnson, Judith Wilson, Joe Bagley, and Joe Brown, started a drive to obtain subscriptions for the Peanut Picker. These four are not members of the Business Staff, but they have proved invaluable to the staff. They practiced all the arts of persuasion, cajol¬ ing, and a high degree of the brow-beating to get these subscriptions, and their off-spoken demands for the necessary two bits,” one quarter, the fourth of a dollar were heard on every side.

Sponsor Have you any annual collections today? is the monotonous phrase that greets each teacher bright and early the first Monday of each month, as the Business Manager and Circulation Manager collect the installments on The Peanut when they fall due. This has been going on ever since the energetic Busi¬ ness Staff and their sponsor made the 1938 annual a financial possibility by securing a total of 259 subscrip¬ tions. The work of the Business Staff does not end with the sccural and payment of subscriptions. Added to these duties are those of signing, making appointments, and collecting for individual pictures.

Secretary Mr. Albert Hawkins and Mr. John Reid .... Sponsors Through the interest of Cap’n Al” Hawkins, Mr. Reid, and the Reverend James Beckwith, our youthful lads were cajoled into forming a Hi-Y Club, the aim of which is to further promote the ideals of four C’s: clean character, clean scholarship, clean living, and clean sportsmanship. Crime and its local application (no reflections cast) was studied and many round trips to the local jail were made. When the time came to send a representative to the convention of District 4 Hi-Y Clubs, no one could go. Of course, at the eleventh hour the secretary was hustled off with much last minute instructing and advice, but go he did. Right now the majority are sporting their Hi-Y pins, but due to dire financial cir¬ cumstances on the part of certain individuals there arc still a few pins for sale. Pag Forty-six First Row: D.

A high water mark in business meetings was reached when the gavel-rapping presi¬ dent, Emma Jane Hagan, called to order the meeting of the brand new club at which the constitution was adopted. Everything proposed was either argued fully and com¬ pletely until everyone was bewildered or accepted by a unanimous aye.” Elizabeth Beale, Emma Jane Hagan, Marcella Rawls, and Miss Cobb journeyed March 22 on a breath-taking and amusing trip to Richmond where the annual meeting of the District 4 Hi-Y Clubs was held.

Within the Glee Club the Girls’ Sextet was organized, composed of Margaret Bur¬ ton, Mary Foyd Crumpler, Ann Eure, Keith Lane, June Murphy, and Betty Parker.

CHEER LEADERS Weren’t you inspired to yell for all you were worth during football season when our cheerleaders went into action? And didn’t they look attractive, the girls in short white culottes and sweaters and the boys in white flannels? These animated youngsters led the cheering, rain or shine, and could they yell! When winter came the squad moved indoors and led the cheers for the Red Raiders ' quintet. New members of the squad this year were Barbara Ballancc, Elizabeth Beale, Edna Brown, and Angelo De Benedict is. Dorothy Johnson, head cheerleader, and B. C. Ellis were veterans from last year’s squad. Now at the close of the season the six are sporting a brand new red S, the insignia of an S. H. S. cheerleader.

Manager The lean year which so often comes after a series of rich harvests struck Suffolk’s gridiron fortunes during the 1937 season. The stars of three unusually successful football wars had gone on to college competition. Captain Joe Bagley, Floyd Bradshaw, Malvern Spivey, and Calhoun Webb, all sturdy linemen, formed the nucleus of the eleven. The ends and backficld were composed en¬ tirely of first year men. The young and inexperienced squad were able to win only three games out of a nine game schedule. The Raiders defeated Victoria, 19-0, Cradock, 6-0, and Churchland, 33-13, all Class ”B” teams. A strong Oceana team held Suffolk scoreless in the opening Conference game. Our old foes, Wilson, Hampton, Hopewell and South Norfolk were too strong for those who carried on for the title winners of the past three seasons. Phil Moser, brilliant midget halfback, was the sparkplug in the Suffolk attack. He gained honorable mention on the All-Tidewater 1937 football team.

Captain Bob Osborne. Manager With all lettermen of the brilliant 1936-37 basketball squad graduating. Coach Albert Hawkins faced the supreme test of his cage coaching career in developing the 1937-38 edition of the Red Raiders. The courageous fight waged by wearers of the red S provided a demonstration of fine competitive spirit matching that of more successful Suffolk teams. The Raiders won eleven games and lost nine. The highlights of the season were the two wins from Wilson and the victor) ' over Hampton. The Hawkinsmcn won all games in Class B competition except the two with the South Norfolk Tigers, who reached the finals of the state championship play-off. Taylor Spain captained the quint and set the scoring pace with 227 points. He gained a place on the Tidewater All Star second team, and on the All Tidewater Class ”B” team. Joe Bagley also was placed on the first annual all Class B” team. Pa.nr Sixty-four Front Row: Martin, Withers, Harris, D. John son, Elam, Daughtrey, E. Brown, Benton, McKay.

Assistant Manager Again Coach Emily Pittman took green material and made a team that was good enough to gain a tie for the district title that was won by Suffolk the year before this campaign. No lettermen were left in school. The sextette mentor at the near end of the season formed one of the finest working teams in the state by shifting players, but that was after Oceana had defeated Suffolk in a close Conference for their only Class B” defeat in the past three seasons. The newly shifted team held Oceana to a 16-all score in the championship game to gain the tie. The sextette won eight games and dropped four. The highlights of the sea¬ son were the 30-6 revenge win over Hopewell, and a 28-17 win at Kempsville. A record was scored by the local girls as they held Deep Creek to no field goals in winning by the waysided score of 72-1, with Mary Louise Martin scoring 38 points for the high scoring per game record. Phoebe Withers led the girls in scoring with 160 points. She was closely trailed by Martha Virginia Elam and Mary Louise Martin. Ptfjtc.
