Page Four THE PEANUT FOREWORD That medium by which we keep in touch with the entire world is the newspaper. It gives local news and foreign news; good news and bad news: funny stories and sad stories. It tells of the well-known men and women of today; sometimes we even see our own name in print. That really makes us swell with pride, doesn’t it? Because of the important role the newspaper plays in our lives, both in school and out, the staff of Thk Peanut of 1946 has selected as its theme The Newspaper. The sections of a newspaper fit very nicely into the activities, faculty, classes, and sports of our school. The front page news is comparable to the headline news of school, made by the various clubs and activities. Since the news section is the main part of a paper, we have made the activities our first section. The ones who see that a newspaper turns out its best editions are the various editorial and business staffs. Therefore, we compare in our second section the newspaper editors and business managers to those in school who try so hard to see that each pupil becomes a suc¬ cessful person. They are our teachers, principal, superintendent, and school board. The third section of our yearbook is comprised of our students who make up the classes of Suffolk High. We shall call them the producers of the newspaper—the reporters, cub reporters, copy boys, typists, and proofreaders. And what student ever passes the entire day without avidly reading the sports news? This, our fourth section, is a very important part of our school life, and in it we present our athletic teams, cheerleaders, and monogram winners. Then there is that section of the newspaper to which most of us turn first—the feature. Among those features which you will see both in the newspaper and in the fifth section of this annual are comics, a crossword puzzle, and important names and events in the news. Of course our advertisements pay for our annual just as they pay for a newspaper. Therefore, no annual is complete without having its final section made up of ads. In this part of our book we present our advertisers who have made this volume possible. Surely, the newspaper ' s the thing!

THE PEANUT Page Six THE SENATE Left to Right, First Row—Nimnio, Sykes, Felton, Penn, Smith. Saunders, President, Byrd, Secretary, Hasscn, Barrett. Thompson Left to Right, Second Row—Chalkley, Diamond, Annas, Mr. Savage, Sponsor, Ward, Moore, Jennings Missing from picture—Tucker, Pice-President Saunders and Tucker Elected New Leaders of School Officers Unanimously Chosen Hobby Saunders and Charles Tucker were unanimously elected the new president and vice-president, respectively, of the Student Senate for 1945-46 at the election held Sep¬ tember 14, 1945, in the homerooms. 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.
