In Camp With The VOLUME XX THE PEANUT Published by the Students of SUFFOLK HIGH SCHOOL Suffolk, Virginia ' N o o o o FOREWORD During the past year world wide crises have awak¬ ened us to the fact that we are training for a far more complicated life than those before us. As true soldiers we have re-dedicated ourselves to the work that lies ahead—training for the great battle of life. In these pages the staff of the 1942 PEANUT has attempted to present the many activities in which this army has engaged. If, in future years, you can review this record and still experience the deep sentiment and loyalty attached to Suffolk High School as well as the joy o f former days, the staff feels it has accomplished its purpose. Thus, with these ideals toward which to strive, the staff asks that you climb upon the reviewing stand and watch the parade of Suffolk High School soldiers in this PEANUT of 1942. - - ARMY CAMP SITE • EACH ONE GIVES HIS BEST FOR THE GOOD OF ALL The familiar picture above will always remain deeply imprinted in our minds. The informal gatherings on its steps in the spring and the same groups in its long halls in the winter bring back the true happiness spent in this building— our beloved camp. BETTY BROTHERS Editor-in-Chief MINNIE LEE CRUMPLER RAVIS McBRIDE Co-Business Managers MISS VIRGINIA BRINKLEY MR WILBERT CROCKER Co-Sponsors MR. JOHN H. GOODE i N M E M O R I A M In every group there is always one upon whom everyone can depend to do his job well. Mr. Goode was just such a quiet and efficient worker in performing his duties as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds of the Suffolk Public Schools. His ever-present willingness to aid the pupils and teachers alike won for him the respect and friendship of all. For his years of faithful service we pay this last tribute to our late co¬ worker and friend, Mr. John H. Goode. Quiet and unassuming in her manner, diligent in her work, and friendly in her attitude toward others best describes Miss Mamie Basler, our teacher and friend Her simplicity and dependability will never be forgotten by those of us who have come in contact with her. Because of the pleasant memory she leaves with us and because of our appreciation for her favors and kind nature, we dedicate this VOLUME XX of THE PEANUT to her. GENERALS MR. STANLEY T. GODBEY SUPERINTENDENT (Hitstanding among the leading educators of Virginia, in his community and in the minds of the students, is Mr. Stanley T. Godbey, ending his second year as Super¬ intendent of Suffolk Public Schools. Suf¬ folk is fortunate in having this graduate of the University of Virginia to supervise the activities and guide the studies of the pupils of the Suffolk School System. Among the many groups in our community with which he is affiliated are the Suffolk Rotary Club, the Tidewater Hoy Scout Council and the Presbyterian Church. His personal interest and close contact with his subordinates and equals have made him a favorite with the whole camp. MR. W. T. HARRY PRINCIPAL All trainees .alike have one question in their minds when they are transferred to another camp: How stiff is the general?” Perhaps you won’t believe us when we tell you that ours is one that not only knows practically every fellow in camp but also has established a life-long friendship with many. Still he maintains the dignity of his rank and obtains the best of behavior and respect from his subordinates. His interest in our activities and undertakings makes him a constant adviser for our intricate problems, of teachers and pupils alike. It’s an old belief that superiors are harsh, gruff, and glaring-eved, but to find a friendly, pleasant, and considerate general such as this one is a rarity. Lucky, you say? We know it! •v MX odtcr up m l � fwMrmt mt nr 4 tht T «.«• potr ' «.

Recording .Secretary Corresponding Secretary . T reasurer . Historian . Parliamentarian One of the main reasons our soldiers are so proud of their camp is that the patrons, pupils, and teachers through the A.P.T.P. work together so harmoniously and cooperatively. Suffolk High School has the distinction of having founded such an organization which has interested the three groups immensely. At the regular monthly meeting such topics as the school curriculum, summer jobs for pupils, and school recesses are discussed among the groups and settled by them. Although this organization is still in its infancy, already it has brought about a better understanding of the students’ problems on the part of the teachers and parents. Its future looks bright with the idea likely to spread to other camps. Never has a school found a more harmonious way in working out its problems. MAJOR GENERALS. MISS ANNA ANDERSON, B.S.

They meet once a month to solve the many difficult problems and to coordinate the work in all the departments of our vast army. OUR SECRETARIES Hecause former students of Suffolk High School hold the office of secretaries to our Generals, we feel that they are part of us. Seldom do we go to headquarters that we do not have a word with these capable assistants, always wil¬ ling to cooperate. Mrs. Helen Stallings Miss Betty Chler OUR SOLDIERS Sometimes the soldiers find it hard to be con¬ tented with fighting their battles with textbooks and pens. However, the realization that the train¬ ing in education we get in Suffolk High School will always remain keeps us always pushing forward with higher goals in view. In the following pages we present our buddies, in whose faces you can read the honest, fighting spirits that will win the future victories of our country.

BRIGADIER GENERALS ASHBY DAS HI ELL Suffolk High School during the past year has often been pointed out as t!:e home of a future all-American football star in the |K r- son of Ashbv Dashiell, co-captain of the 1941-42 team. His excellent broken field running on the gridiron, coupled with bis accuracy on the basketball court, has made him a favorite with all the sports-loving stu dents. Perhaps the silver cup that he won for such athletic skill will be only one of the many trophies he will earn. In other activi¬ ties Ashby belongs to the Senior Hoys’ Hi- Y Club of which he is vice-president and is the presiding officer of his senior homeroom. Continual good nature has won for Dopey” many friends, and with his genuine show of sportsmanship he has proved himself truly outstanding. HETTY BROTHERS That pretty little blonde who spent many hours in and out of school working dili¬ gently on this excellent publication, the 1942 Peas it, is none other than Hetty Brothers. Hetty is a person who really gets the most out of school life by entering into many and varied activities. Besides being a meml er of the Hi-Y, Haymakers, the I-atin Club, and an honorary member of the Senate, she finds time to execute the duties of secretary- treasurer in the Sigma Sigma. Hetty is fun-loving, genuine, and depend¬ able. It is her pleasing personality that accounts for her popularity among her fel¬ low students. If you fail to recognize Betty any other way, just be on the look-out for her own particular little laugh. That’s all the proof you need. Certainly you will agree that Betty is an outstanding senior! ELIZABETH SMITH One part athlete, one part tease, and two parts friend, mixed together with a sizable portion of sincerity and dependability, pro¬ duce such an outstanding senior as Eliza¬ beth Smith. Whether you see her on the basketball court where she has broken all scoring records for three years and co¬ captained her team to another successful season, or in a Girls’ Senior Hi-Y meeting over which she presided, you’ll always find the same co-operative spirit and leadership ability. Perhaps her popularity with her superiors as well as her subordinates can be accounted for by her genuine interest in people. And we challenge you to find a better soldier anywhere than EIizal eth Smith, vice-president of the Senior Class MAR � A RET RAWLS Another co-captain of the basketball team that kept the team on top for three years answers to the name of Margaret Rawls or “l.ulu. Holding offices seems to attract this girl, for she capably carried out her duties as president of the French Club, secretary of the Wranglers’ Club, president of the Junior Red Cross Council and circulation manager of the Peanut Picker. If you’re not acquainted with this friendly, good- humored treasurer of the Senior Class, then you’ve missed many a good time. Other activities, such as the Sigma-Sigma, Girls’ Hi-Y Club and tennis, round out the inter¬ ests of this “swell senior. Little wonder her classmates voted her a superlative! ANITA SPIVEY RAYMOND YATES If you don’t recognize this senior, then we’re sure you’ve never been to Suffolk High School. Seldom does one find a per¬ son so well-liked anil admired as Raymond Yates, who climaxed his high school record by being elected president of the Student Senate this year. Nor is his leadership lim¬ ited to student government, for he co-cap- tained the basketball team to a successful season. One can hardly mention him with¬ out commenting on his ability in athletics— basketball, tennis, and football—having played varsity in all for three years. Ray¬ mond’s consideration for and friendliness toward others might well be founded on his membership in the Boys’ Senior Hi-Y in which he was elected vice-president at the district meeting. Certainly big things are expected of this tall, good-looking senior. Scholarship, personality, and general ex¬ cellence—these best account for another senior superlative, Anita Spivey. Her out¬ standing work, especially in English and foreign languages, has fitted her to execute efficiently the duties of literary editor of The Peanut and feature editor of the Pcoitut Picker —either one of which is a full-time job for any senior. A cheerleader varsity basketball player, secretary of the Senior Class. Anita has also found time to represent Suffolk High in debating and pub¬ lic speaking, besides holding membership in the I-atin Club, Sigma-Sigma and the Play makers. Because Anita has been so obliging, ca¬ pable and willing to work, honest with everyone, and thoughtful, she has endeared herself to her fellow-students and teachers alike.

The plan that the Student Senate sponsor the annual fall play ticket campaign originated in this executive l ody, and having been pre¬ sented to the Senate, went over in a big way with the soldiers. Also, representa¬ tives to the Student Coop¬ erative Association Conven¬ tion in November were nominated by the Ways and Means Committee and ac¬ cepted by the Senate.

Shakespeare mixes with modern comed y and Maurice Evans rub shoulders with our local talent. Yes. every phase of the dramatic world is touched tn us discussions and programs. Guest speaker during the year was Mr. Samuel T. Mabel, who gave several Shakespeare readings liet ' orc the club and its guests. Oth¬ er activities included a trip to a nearhy camp to see “Pygmalion, produced hy The Little Theatre of Nor¬ folk, and a skit on George Washington, acted out by memliers over W ' LPM on February 22. In the spring, plans included a one-act play for the school and an¬ other for the district con¬ ference. Through such ac¬ tivities much talent and ability were unearthed in our local guild. In extending dramatics over the whole camp, a cast of the fall play, Big Heart¬ ed Herbert,” was selected from the student l ody. This annual production met with greater success than ever.

Sponsor Our soldiers are only human, and who doesn ' t enjoy reading aliout what the other fellow is doing? To wrt - isfy the appetite of such news-hungry doughboys the Peanut Picker again this year publishes weekly the news and gossip of our camp. The work and time spent on this publication would startle many of the students, for the staff has to keep its eyes and ears open to catch the news. Perhaps the fellows already have heard a hit about the news articles, but who doesn ' t like to see his name in the paper? And there’s no easier way to find out who the fellow in the next tent was who cut in on your girl. We feel certain that Suffolk High School will never have to do without its Peanut Picker because it has so many curious and BUSINESS STAFF interested readers.

Director Even the soldier has a craving for the finer things of life, and what better way can one express himself than through music? The (dee Clubs of Suffolk High School have given the other camps something to look up to with their mastery of the tunes. The chance to escape drilling third period and let out pent-up feelings through song is taken advantage of by many soldiers. Our new instructor, Miss F.dith Taft, has taken up her new duties with the real spirit of a morale- builder. Inspired with renewed patriotism, the Glee Clubs gave many grand per¬ formances. Among these was the annual assembly program in which the Glee Clubs rendered many impressive and beautiful carols. Spring activities included the journey to Richmond to participate in the State Music contest.

Director New talent was unearthed in the practices, and many public apjtearances w ere demanded of the individual members. The boys and girls have rivaled each other in the progress of the two clubs. With such keen competition both clubs have shown unusual strides in advancement. One of the major concerns of our army is to see that the soldiers arc kept in high spirit. And as long as there’s a soldier there will always be a song!

Sponsor One of the organizations most closely connected with our army is the Junior Red Cross Council. Everyone, even the buck privates, realizes how important it is and does his best to push it along. Thus, the greatest numtier of participants are in the ninth and tenth grades; however, everyone offers his services particularly during the annual enrollment. This year the council, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Johnson, filled thirty Christmas boxes. In November the council sponsored the Roll Call Drive including an assembly program in which a British movie. We Won’t Forget,” was presented. Also a skit showing the proper way to enroll members was given by the council at the Adult Red Cross Roll Call Rally. In December the Junior Hi-Y helped the council in making fifty Christmas menu covers for our brothers, the sailors. The declaration of war induced the council to conduct a war drive for the Red Cross in camp during January. Another year’s work having been completed, the council disbanded in the spring until the following term.

The young soldiers of the Diversified )ccupations Club find that the apprenticeship they obtain from local merchants gives them a head start in the great battle of lift. This curriculum, which was introduced in Suffolk High School just a few years ago, already has proved its worth, for more and more fellows are “signing up. This year the club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Alwin F. Lehner, held tegularly monthly meetings and ordered pins for the members. The practical aim of the D. O. organization has placed many students in steady positions.

Sponsor The rookies look up to their superiors as the junior clubs look up to the senior ones. The spotlight is definitely thrown on the Boys ' Senior Hi-Y in this respect because the rookies look toward them for exemplary conduct. Thus this group is the instigator and barometer of our morale. Their work in the community consists each year in donating money to fill Christmas baskets for the poor. In school, they provided recreation in the spring by entertaining their buddies at a dance. At their meetings, speakers have addressed them on topics, interesting and inspiring. Members attended the District Conference held in Portsmouth, in March. 1942. at which the topic. “Youth in a Confused World, was discussed.

Besides promoting its religious aims anti guiding its members to a richer anti fuller life as a Christian, it has organized a Red Cross Knitting Hub within the camp and enrolled over half of the student ImkIy in knitting for their buddies across the waters in active service. Other duties they took upon themselves were playing Santa Claus to an unfortunate child in the community and decorating the halls at the holiday season. In January, the girls gave a unique dance which turned out to Ik a little bit of everything, includ¬ ing piano solos, singing, basketball, and anything else that happened to please the i lancers. Some of the members attended the Girls’ State Conference in Martinsville and the district conference held in Portsmouth.

They spread their work into the community at Christmas and provided baskets of food for the poor and needy of the city. In school they devoted many of their meetings to parliamentary law with out¬ side speakers addressing them on this subject. Entertainment in the nature of a Christmas dance was sponsored bv these buck privates for the benefit of the whole camp. To keep in contact and cooperate with other Hi-Y clubs they sent a delegate each month to the Tidewater Council.

Sponsor “To Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character” states simply, hut realistically, the purpose of the Girls ' Junior Hi-Y. Not only do the members find this an inspiring creed but also have influenced others to such an extent that they have accepted it as their own. In maintaining these high standards the girls proposed a Hi-Y council for the four clubs that such cooperation might bring the groups closer together. Their work extended into the community as they assisted in registration of men for the army on February 16. Red Cross work has also played a great part in their activities, for they joined their older sisters in making afghans for the soldiers. Miss Thelma Pruden’s sponsorship has proved an inspiration to the younger sisters of the Hi-Y organization. First Row— Rawls.

The meetings which are held twice a month, programs and business alternating, are devoted to Latin games and contests and various business problems.

Sponsor Somehow the members of the French classes and particularly those of the French Club are very optimistic in the face of the world situation. For, though the fall of France might mean no more contact with that homeland of the French language, the determined doughboys of Suffolk High School are keeping the spirit of the Free French alive by pursuing the study of its language and customs. Perhaps even soon they will find themselves on the fields of France filtrating the French people. Then they can put that language to real use. Among the many varied activities in the French Club was the joint Christmas party of the foreign language classes sponsored by this energetic group. In the spring the annual edition of the club paper, printed entirely in French, was rolling off the press. Also, plans for a dance were being forwarded to entertain the camp.

Sponsor The Sigma Sigma has the distinction of being the only honorary dub in Suffolk High School. To those soldiers who have shown their ability to use the j en as well as the gun a membership in this journalistic honorary organization is extended. All of its members some time or other have been active on the literary or business staff of our weekly publication, the Peanut Picker, and our annual. The Peanut. There is no designated meeting date, but from time to time the members get together to have fun or to promote some project in school. The large membership illustrates the unusual quantity of literary talent that is present in our camp. Sponsored by Miss Frances Armistead, the club aims to promote the interests of journalism within our camp grounds, and who knows but some day the club can Ijoast of a famous writer who was a former member of the Sigma Sigma? OUR MANEUVERS Boosted by the morale displayed in the preceding pages our Red Raiders have had an unusual, successful season in its maneuvers against other camps. The records in the fol¬ lowing pages best show the results of hard practices and superior coaching. We proudly present the maneuvers of Suffolk High School in 1941-42 ... Mr. Albert Hawkins Miss Kmily Pittman Mr. Howard Hollingsworth OUR TRAINING STAFF Again Suffolk High enjoyed a great athletic year, thanks to our excellent coaching staff. Whether in our gym classes or in the actual contest we learned not only the rules of the game but more important, lessons in sportsmanship. One of the greatest seasons of football was experienced only because of the long, patient hours “Cap’n Al” and “Cap’n Holly” spent with the Raiders in practice. The people of Suffolk really became football conscious as they watched the Hawkinsmen emerge victorious again and again. And they realized the part those two superiors who directed our maneuvers had in it, especially that of “Cap ' n Al” Hawkins. Then came basketball, and we saw Miss Emily Pittman’s girls win the Class B Championship. With such a record, her ability cannot be over-estimated. Miss l’ittman kept the girls in tip-top condition with her excellent training rules. We are also proud of “Cap ' n Al ' s basketball team which piled up numerous victories including those over Gass A schools—Hampton, Maury and Granby. We never realize how much someone means to us until he leaves. Such were our feelings when Coaches Hawkins and Hollingsworth were transferred into another branch of the service—one in industry, the other in the naval forces. “Cap’n Al” has established a tradition in his seven years at Suffolk High which will not die. and we came to know and love “Cap’n Holly” in his seven months with us. When they left us, we felt that we lost not only our instructors but also close friends. Left to Right— Johnson; Moser; Spivey; Whitley; Jones; Wills CHEER LEADERS Come on everybody! Yell!” How familiar these words are to anyone who has ever attended a game in which a Suffolk High School team was a contestant! After these morale builders have passed such encouraging words to their buddies— even more encouraging ones are directed to the team—whether winning or losing. What maneuvers could be lost with such an enthusiastic and genuine spirit behind it—the spirit of S. H. S.? Whether these veils went out across the fields at Peanut Park or echoed in the gym at school—they always seemed to be heard bv the Raiders. Often at the darkest moments during a game, the leaders would arouse from the students a supporting cheer which would spur the team on to victory. Always attired neatly in the traditional red, white, and blue, the squad was there—rain or shine, in Suffolk or out of town—to boost the team as best it could. This year’s new members were Hv ' en W’hitley, Betty Jones, anti Claudia Moser, w ith Anita Spivey, William Johnson, and Gordon Wills representing last year’s lettermen. With the aid of this ardent and peppy sextet the clean sportsmanship of Suffolk High School has l een sustained.

No one will ever forget this brilliant team, captained by Ashby Dashiell anti Clifton Marvell, nor the victorious maneuvers won for Suffolk. The season began with our heart breaking defeat by a larger army from Maury, 13-0, but from then on it was one victory after another, including those over Oceana, Nor- view, Fredericksburg, South Norfolk. Holy Trinity, Chester, and Cra- dock. Then the Hawkinsmen journeyed to Fort Defi¬ ance, where they triumph¬ ed over Augusta Military Academy, 6-0.

Although we lost the title. 19-0, no one can deny that our team was one of the first in the state. Suffolk chalked up 229 points over their oppo¬ nents ' 50. One of the greatest hacks in our his¬ tory, Ashby Dashiell, was responsible for 98. Closely liehind him were Ray¬ mond Yates with 52 and Hilly Earley with 36.

With Raymond Yates anti Billy Earley as co¬ captains, eighteen games were won, including victories over Maury, Granby anti Hampton. Two of those lost were to South Norfolk, who went on to w in the Eastern Virginia Class B title. Newport News, the Class A Champions, beat the Raiders only four points, 27-23, anti those on foul shooting. Suffolk scored 847 points to their opponents’ 648 for an average of 37 points per game. James Foster was the high scorer for the season with 219 points, being closely trailed by Dewey Howell with 2tX). Also close behind the two forwards were Billy Earley and Raymond Yates. Lettermen finishing this year are Ashby Dashiell, Raymond Yates, Bill Earley anti Bob McGahec, who ably managed the team of 1941-42. First Rote— Smith. E„ Co-Captain; Miss Pittman, Coach; Rawls.

This year, with Margaret Rawls and Elizabeth Smith acting as co¬ captains, they won all games except one—that with the Madison College freshmen. In the conference games the team won easily over South Norfolk, Oceana, Cradock, and Xorview. The fastest and closest game of the season was with the Alumnae, with the high school lassies winning by a jioint. The schedule for the season also included Chuckatuck. Windsor, Hopewell, Franklin, and the County All-Stars. After a successful season the girls had a trip to Harrisonburg where they lost the only game to the Madison College freshmen. The total scores of the season were 728 points for Suffolk and 362 points for the opponent Once again Elizabeth Smith led in scoring with 397 points to her credit. This score even exceeds her last year s record. In the first game of the season, with Chuckatuck, she piled up a score of 40 points which marked the high score per game. Runners up for the season were Margaret Rawls and Anita Spivey, making the three high scorers all seniors. This year the lettermen who are finishing are Juanita Smith, Anita Spivey, Margaret Rawls.
