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!
