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!

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.

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.
