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!

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!

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.
