This is the first time in the history of Suffolk High School that the choice of the student leaders has been unanimous. The duties of the officers began as soon as they were sworn into their new positions at the regular Wednesday assembly held Sep¬ tember 19. One of their first acts was to appoint Clarice Byrd secretary of the Senate and Ways and Means Committee. Important Matters Discussed The Student Senate discussed several im¬ portant matters at its meeting held the first Monday in November. The details of the championship football game to be held in November were delegated to various commit¬ tees appointed by the president. Several rep¬ resentatives reported that their homerooms wished to make minor changes around the school. Some of these included staying off the flag green and parking bicycles behind the school building. As a means of raising money for the Student Senate Fund, the Finance Committee proposed the sale of school articles to the students. These articles include school hats, banners, and service pins. The home¬ room representatives were requested to report the discussions of all Senate meetings in their rooms.

The following are the good points as mentioned by the judge: The Peanut is an outstanding yearbook and generally is to be commended for its rounded picture of school life. The cover is hand¬ some, and the theme based on organizations of the federal government is excellent. The effect of the red over prints on the black type is good. The calendar in the form of ink sketches is well-posed, and you are to be congratulated for care in identifying your ‘Senior Parade.’ The informal picture of your dedicatee is superb. Among the weaknesses are these: some of the group pictures were not identified; sched¬ ules and scores of the basketball teams should have been added; anti not all pictures in the snapshot layout are clear.” 1946 Staff Chosen by Editors and Sponsors On September 19, 1945, the co-editors of the Peanut, Betty Dixon and Nancy Alberts, met with their sponsors to draw up the staff for the 1946 edition.
