The contest takes into consideration the school papers of all Group II schools in Virginia. It was also announced early in September that the 1944- 1945 Peanut Picker, judged by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, received the rating of “distinction,” the highest honor. Halt of the issues judged were edited by Margaret Hines and the other half by Vir¬ ginia Vaughan. Miss Rasler has been sponsor of the paper throughout its years of victory. Publication Office Redecorated by Journalistic Staffs The Peanut Picker and The Peanut staffs have completed the redecoration of the Pub¬ lications Office. The color scheme, maroon and blue, has been carried out in the newly painted walls and the inlaid linoleum door covering. Also draperies and Venetian blinds have been hung at the windows. Tables, chairs, a bookcase, and filing cabinets where copies of old editions, cuts, and other records may be kept have been added for each staff. This project was sponsored through the combined efforts and finances of the Peanut Picker and The Peanut in order that the pub¬ lications of Suffolk High might be carried on in a more efficient manner.

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. Alice Hosier was appointed literary editor; Sarah Gobbel, feature editor; Jean Edwards and Jack Nurney, sports edi¬ tors; Herbert Briggs and Bill Jennings, art editors; Anne Johnson and Catherine Callis, photographic editors; and typists, Jane Car- roll, Jane Klein, Mary Helen Rawles, and Janice Slavin.

Page Ten THE PEANUT THE HANDBOOK STAFF Left to Eight, First Row—Hosier, Dixon, Kelley, Taylor Left to Right, Second Row—Hines, liditor, Haims, Parker, N’urney, Barrett, Miss Moore, Sponsor First Handbook of S. H. S. Printed Members of Staff Announced Sue Hines has been appointed bv Mr. W. R. Savage to edit the first handbook ever to be published in Suffolk High School. It is hoped that the book will be ready for publication some time in May. Plans for a handbook were first made by Sigma Sigma, an honorary journalistic club, in 1943, but when the club disbanded the plans were dropped. The editor has arranged her staff assistants, all seniors, as follows: Alice Hosier, Harold Barrett, Nan Taylor, Jack Numey, Betty Dixon, Jimmie Baines, Jean Kelley, and Robert Parker. Martha Bryant is typist. Dance to Finance Handbook The Handbook Staff will give the first dance of the season in the high school gymnasium Friday night, October 5, 1945, after the Alex¬ ander Park football game. This dance is to be given to raise funds for the publishing of the handbook which will be presented free of charge to all students in school. The handbook will also be financed through contributions made by various clubs in school. The staff has already acknowledged receipt of $15.00 from the Girls’ Junior Hi-Y; from the Boys’ Senior Hi-Y, $24.08; and $18.00 from the Girls’ Senior Hi-Y. It is hoped that this book will give to the students first hand information on school rules and regulations and will be of benefit to them in their school work.
