MiiMHUtf!, A THE PEANUT 19 4 7 Volume XXV 25TH ANNUAL PUBLICATION of THE STUDENT BODY of SUFFOLK HIGH SCHOOL Suffolk, Virginia Theme Presentation For the past twenty-four years, I, The Peanut, has been the connecting link between you and your high school career. Great changes have taken place, and even so, each years happenings have been faithfully recorded between mv covers. This year, I am twenty-five years old, and I’m mighty proud that I can help you relive your past year in Suffolk High School. That’s really what I’m here for. I am divided into five parts. At the beginning you will find the faculty of the school 1 represent presented with some glimpses into their classroom activities. In the second part the students themselves are pictured. These begin with the Junior High and go through all the grades until, as a climax, the Seniors are portrayed. In my third section you will see pictures of all the clubs anti organizations in Suffolk High School. The students take pride in participating in these many and varied activities, and well they might. In this section also you might see those people who have made my being possible. Immediately following this section is the one which tells who’s who” among the Seniors, and gives some interesting and amusing glimpses into the life of the school. First in our thoughts during the school year is the field of Sports, and this comprises my fifth section. Here you will see our championship football team and our high scoring basketball teams, both in formal attire and in action. We’re mighty proud of the boys and girls who, by their good sportsmanship and excellent playing, have given our school such prestige and honor. I’m glad that I have the chance to help you remember them. Without my last section, I would not be complete, for here are represented all those business firms and establishments which have contributed to the expenses of my publication. I hope you’ll look through all my pages and read every word, for I have tried to convey the spirit of Suffolk High School in my twenty-fifth year as well as I have in the past twenty-four. CO-ED! TORS Ann Trittt Jean Shall cr oss CO-SPONSORS Miss Virginia Brinkley Mr. Wilbert Crocker DEDICATION MR. W. R. SAVAGE, JR. We can’t imagine our school life without Mr. Savage. For the past few years, his office has been the generating force for all school activities. Most of the time we go there willingly for advice. Too often we wish we didn’t have to go there. But, no matter what the situation, the fairest judgment is always administered, and it ' s always in the best interests of the pupils. Mr. Savage represents for us the embodiment of all the ideals, principles, and aims of Suffolk High School. He constantly is 1 joking for ways to make our school “bigger and better.” His guidance in the Senate and Ways and Means Committee has been the starting point for many school activities. His interest in young people is one of the characteristics which endears him to all the students. We can think of no one who is more deserving of the great honor of receiving the dedication of the 25th Anniversary Edition of Thk Peanut than Mr. W. R. Savage, Jr, Principal of Suffolk High School. SUPERINTENDENT PRINCIPAL MR. S. T. GODBEY MR. W. R. SAVAGE, JR. SCHOOL BOARD Left to Right: Mr. Harvard Birdsong. Mrs. S. B. Carter. Mr. Dudley Rollings, Mr. S. T. Godbey, Dr. O. K. Yates, Mr. Robert Baker, Dr. F. W. Godwin •Replaced by Dr. Roland Ellison Science One of the requirements for graduation from Suffj lk High Sclmol is that the student have at least one year of any science. Offered in our school are general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Pictured above is a Chemistry I Lah taught hy Mr. Wilbert Crocker. This course is available to juniors and seniors. It consists of a study of chemistry which is closely associated with actual laboratory experiments conducted by the student himself. General science, which is offered to any high school student, is the study of everyday science dealing with a little chemistry and a little physics. It can be considered as a founda¬ tion of science. Biology is available to students in their sophomore, junior, or senior years. It is the study of all types of plant and animal life and is a very helpful course for those who are not especially interested in the scientific course. Physics is offered to Seniors and is the study of the many physical laws of nature. It also is closely associated with a lab performed by the student in which he demonstrates and experiments with these many natural laws. Any one of these courses gives the student one high school credit. It is possible to obtain four credits in science by taking all of these courses. Although, at the time, it may seem dull and unimportant to some, later in life we realize the value of English courses in high school and appreciate the l enefits derived from the study of grammar and literature. In Junior High School we are faced with the task of struggling through two periods of English a day. Yes, we study “Evangeline” and think we know quite a bit about grammar, but four more years face us. As freshmen we are exposed to more difficult types of grammar, and we read The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.” Composition is introduced into our English course, and we have written quite a few works of art” when our sophomore year comes around. In this class we read Silas Marner, and Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar has to be endured. When juniors, we learn all about American authors and poets and read some of their works. We even find ourselves making booklets, testers, and projects in connection with our parallel reading. Here we are seniors, and find ourselves enthralled by the records of “Macbeth.” We do a great deal of creative writing and read very much aliout English literature. But, perhaps, W ' e like to sit and listen best of all! Miss Marguerite Rell Mrs. Willard Lipscomb Miss Reed West Mathematics Miss Mary St. Clair Bu«; Miss Lucy Britt Miss Louise Lilly Of the sixteen credits required for a student to graduate two must he in the field of mathematics. There is a wide selection in this field for it includes algebra, business arithme¬ tic, general mathematics, plane and solid getnoetry, and trigonometry. Freshmen, the budding young mathematicians of tomorrow, take their futures into their hands when they enter algebra class. Yes, the majority of students do take algebra on which to build their foundations in mathematics. Geometry is a favorite of math students in Suffolk High School. These students are the eager beavers who attempt to prove the Pythagorean theory. For students who intend to take a commercial course, general mathematics and business arithmetic are very useful. Here we have pictured what is known as the “brave eight,” for they have dared to take that awe-inspiring subject known as trigonometry. If they wade through this, there is a good chance that they may attempt to take solid geometry the next term _ In Suffolk High School two foreign languages are offered to the students. They are French and Latin taught by Mrs. Taylor and Miss Brinkley, respectively. Pictured above is the French I flass. In order for a student to get any credit for French, he has to take at least two yeaVs of it. The class consists of learning the French language as well as many customs of the French people. Also the geography of France is taught to some degree, with emphasis on the more important cities such as Paris. As you know, there are many French dialects spoken, as is true of any Kuropean nation, hut the French taught in our school is the dialect spoken around Paris, known as Parisian French. In order for a student to get credit for Latin, he must take at least two years of it. e cn though four years of Latin are offered in Suffolk High. The student is taught a reading knowledge of Latin as well as the customs of the early Romans and the geography of Laly. The first two years of Latin arc devoted almost entirely to grammar, while the last two con¬ sist of reading Cicero and Virgil. Miss Virginia Brinkley Mrs. G. Warren Taylor Industrial Arts General Shop, mechanical drawing, and basic electricity are offered in Suffolk High School’s program of Industrial Arts. Much practical work is done in our well equipped shop in connection with these courses. The Industrial Arts courses are extremely interesting and popular, especially with those students who are planning to enter fields involving engineering, draftsmanship, or any other occupation which necessitates manual training. Under Mr. Apple¬ gate’s able direction pupils are instructed in the fundamental mechanics, theories, and appli¬ cations of electricity, mechanical drawing, wood working, metal working, simple mechanics, and general repair w’ork. These classes truly do their part to give Suffolk High School a varied program of cur¬ riculum activities. The boys who choose these courses are not only making worth while projects, but also building for the future. Social Studies Miss Tapelle Prudes Miss Marilyn Bell Miss Martha Macklin The courses in Social Sciences offered in Suffolk High School arc American history, world history, government, economic geography, business training and sociology. These studies provide a varied curriculum from which the students may choose. Such courses always appeal to us. not only because of the fine teachers we have, but also because of the variety of in¬ teresting places and subjects that are discussed. Not infrequently one of these classes makes a trip to a court, the state capitol, Washington I). C, and other (daces of importance. 1 hese trips serve to make the courses still more enjoyable as well as to bring the subjects studied even closer to our everyday applications. Our excellent teachers. Miss Bell. Miss Pruden, Miss Macklin ami Miss Yates, do a tremendous amount of admirable work in order to enable Suffolk High School to have one of the best possible pri grams in the social sciences. One unit and a half in American history and government are required for graduation, but the elective cmirses in social studies are very popular among the students. The students pictured below watching a moving picture really seem to enjoy their classroom periods while getting a great deal of information from the films. Commercial Studies One glance into the typing room is all you need to see a wonderful display of sj eed and coordination. Here, fast thinking minds and accurate fingers |M int the way to careers as stenographers and typists; or, for those who do not plan a commercial career, this class teaches typing for personal use and as a means for securing neatness in college papers and in personal correspondence. Miss Moore and Miss Basler further the commercial field in high school by teaching classes in bookkeeping and shorthand. For the very business-minded students, they offer courses in office practice, filing, and business English. In taking these courses, the students are given-an insight into the different ways businesses arc managed and are often recommended for after-school jobs as a means of putting into practice what they have learned. Many girls have Secured jobs upon completion of high school, and in this way they have helped business organizations in the town. The class pictured above is second year typing. These advanced students ke p charts to show tfieir improvement and advancement in speed. By conscientious work and practice they are equipping themselves to take their place in the business world. Miss Mamie Basi.ek Miss Harrietts Moore Miss Gladys Yates Fine Arts It’s fun. That ' s the only way to describe Miss Yates’s class in Fine Arts. It’s actually more like play than work. Indivi¬ dual instruction is provided, guiding the pupils work. Along with the actual painting there is a study in art appreciation. Pupils are guided in appreciating the best masterpieces, and there is instruction in the art of different nations and periods which changes from year to year. This class is certainly never dull or monotonous. There is a great variety of projects. Be¬ sides the {tainting of pictures in oils, pastels, crayons, pencils, water colors, and pen and ink, there are wood carving and hurning, clay modeling, glass etching, and soap carving, as well as the many school projects such as decora ing trays, hook ends, candlestick holders, and plates and textile painting. Yes, in the three years that Suffolk High School has had an art class, Miss Yates has developed an interesting and enjoyable program. Library Perhaps we ought to say that our li¬ brary is the most educational room in the whole school. Here one may find informa¬ tion about any subject he could think of, and the wealth of material is being con¬ tinuously augmented to keep in step with changing conditions. Our library contains approximately 9,5(H) volumes besides the numerous monthly maga¬ zines and daily newspapers. All hooks indexed in the Readers’ Guide arc kept here for a period of five years. In addition to this, there are two vertical files in which important articles, pamphlets and pictures are kept for their use in research work. All of the trophies, placques and looks awarded to the school, and copies of high school publications are kept here. Recently, the equipment used for sound pictures and projectors have been stored in the library. Throughout the day, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.. the library is frequented by ap¬ proximately 140.pupils. Various clubs and committees often meet here, and its quiet at¬ mosphere makes it a favorite study hall. Miss Scarltorough and Mrs. I ewis have aided the students of Suffolk High School in increasing their knowledge by making the library the inviting and pleasant place it is. Miss Dorothy Scarborough Mrs. Emsk Lkwis Home Economics Among the girls of Suffolk High School Home Economics is a popular course. The two year course offered in this subject entitles the students to three credits toward gradu¬ ation, and they really enjoy the work! During class time they learn to cook and sew and to master the art of house cleaning. Often, oh, so very often, the savory aroma of some delicacy has wafted up to the second anti third floors to tantalize the hungry students into forgetting about schoolwork and thinking only of their appetites. Interior decorating is also included in this course to teach students how to select colors which blend well and to use these to their l cst advantages in decorating a room. The students pictured above are practicing some of the useful tasks which they ha c learned in Home Economics. This course has truly done its part to help the girls of Suf¬ folk High School build their lives in view of the future. Miss Elizabeth Marable Retail Selling This year two new classes have liccn offered to the students of Suffolk High School. They arc Ketail Selling and Consumer Buying which are taught hy Mr. Preddy. Pictured above is the Retail Selling class. Each member of the class is required to work fifteen hours In a local store while earning the same | ay as a regular employee. In the class¬ room they devote their time to the learning of ways in which to improve their salesmanship and the carrying on of good business. The course is open to seniors exclusively, and two credits are given to those passing the one year course with all the necessary requirements. The class of Consumer Buying is open to juniors, and in some cases sophomores. The prime objectives in this course are to teach the students how to buy and choose wisely groceries, articles of clothing, and other merchandise, and how to get the most out of their money. Certainly, with these two classes functioning in our school, our students will gain in economic knowledge and will lie equipped for a wiser entrance into the economic field. Mr Leslie Preddy Physical Education Mk. Lkwis K. White Miss Emily V. I’ittman Mh. John E. Davis Uji, one, up, two rings the cry of the exercise leader as another gym class is whipped into shape. Physical fitness is one of the prime factors in a well-rounded curriculum, and we’re proud of the skill which the gym classes have developed. Iioth in exercising and in playing sports. In ihe girls ' gym classes. Miss I’ittman introduced field hockey early in the year, ex¬ plaining the rules and fundamentals of the game. Much of the equipment was obtained from Farmville State Teachers College since the sticks w’crc expensive and unobtainable at the time. Interest in this sport has grown to such proportions that inter scholastic games may lie scheduled next year. Boys ' gym classes place emphasis on football as well as physical fitness at the beginning of the year. The boys and girls share the floor during basketball season and divide the field for softball when spring s|iorts start, flames are scheduled between the gym classes, and often independent teams play after school hours. Since there must lie a system of order in each class, there are squads and squad leaders to check on attendance. This is hardly necessary, since anyone who gets enjoyment from these classes wouldn ' t think of missing one! In Suffolk High school the only instruction in music is the training which the Glee Club receives under the direction of Miss Hewdett. Membership in this organization allows a pupil to receive one-hall credit toward graduation. Music is not required in the curriculum of the school. Nevertheless, many students who have a reasonable amount of musical talent and like to learn new songs find that the (dee Club is the most enjoyable means of obtaining a half credit. Several members of the Glee Club were chosen to be in the Double Quartet which is pictured above. This Quartet has sung before many clubs and civic organizations during the year. Several years in the past operettas were presented by the Glee Hub, but this has not l«een possible recently since we have not had a full-time music instructor up until this year. The majority of students in high school have shown their interest in music by expressing their desire for the organization of a band. Much has been said about this, and we hope soon to have a land that will be a credit to the school.

A more enthusastic group of boys and girls would Ik- hard to find anywhere, for they have displayed an interest in our school activities even though membership to clubs is not open to them. They were willing and anxious to subscribe to both The Peanut and the Peanut Picker, and it was partly through their efforts that our school proved successful in the Red Cross Drive as well as the Tuber¬ culosis Drive.

We have found that these newcomers are an asset to Suffolk High School.

Co-Sponsors In this, the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition of The Peanut, we wish to present, as in past years, lasting mementoes of our fellow classmates and friends. We acknowledge the hard work and achievements of organizations and individuals as these are worthy of recognition. The first edition of The Peanut was published in 1917. On account of the W orld W ar I and later the building of the new high school there was not another publication until 1924. However, since then, and even during the trying years of World War II, The Peanut has managed to be printed. The Peanut Left to Right—First Row: Klein, Rlair, V., Lassiter, Hobhs.

Blair, T„ Wesson, Turner, Crocker, Taylor, Hancock, Schadel W‘e arc, indeed, proud of our annual, for from its initial publication it has received out¬ standing and distinguished honors in all literary contests of Group II schools. Last year, as well as several other years, the staffs of the Annual felt well rewarded for their work when their publication was given top honor of Group II annuals of the state. Not only does The Peanut bring lasting remembrances of Suffolk High School, but also it affords great opportunity for experience for its staffs. Most annual work is done by upper¬ classmen. However, in order to make such a project possible, every student of our school must cooperate and back the annual with his subscription. W ' ork on The Peanut began almost the day school started, with big plans for our twenty-fifth edition as to the theme, dedication, and cover. When these things had been de¬ cided upon, the various pictures were taken anil the literary taff l� egan its job of writing the articles. Finally the dummy” w r as completed and your Peanut was off to press. This sounds very simple and easy to many of us, but it really involves plenty of hard work. In the picture on the opposite page we see our head editors and sponsors, while in the picture above we see all the members of both literary and Imsiness staffs. We hope this publication of The Peanut will stand with previous ones—on top! J Student SerW ' Left to Right—Standing: Shallcross, Mr. Savage, Odom, Allen, Edwards, Rlair, Tucker, Hobbs, Ward.

Sponsor The most important organization in our school is the Student Senate, the governing body of the school. The Senate is made up of a president and vice-president elected by the student body; a representative elected from each homeroom; three representatives at large elected by the student body; the editors of the school paper anti annual; and the presidents of the junior and senior classes. The meetings of the Senate arc held at eight-thirty on the first and third Monday morn¬ ings of each month. This body has worked with the Ways and Means Committee this year in doing many things to improve our school. They sent three delegates to the S.l .A. convention in Rich¬ mond, sold Suffolk High School pennants and, also, sponsored a dance. The Senate took an active interest in the resolution and plans for a high sch« ol band to be formed here next year. Another notable action of the Senate was that of passing the constitution drawn up by the Distributors’ Club, thus recognizing a new club in Suffolk High School. r Left to Right: Mr. Savage, Green, Ward, Kozak, Tomko, Goode, Tucker, Blair, Annas, Edwards, Hobbs Ways and Means Committee OFFICERS CHARLES TUCKER.

With the advice of Mr. Savage the president of the Senate appointed the other committee chairmen. Jack Annas was chosen chairman of the Finance Committee. The purpose of this com¬ mittee is to make up a budget for all the clubs and activities of the school, showing alt items paid out anil all money received. Virginia Blair was made chairman of the Clubs Committee, which supervises the activities of all the clubs in our school. All social activities are planned by the Social Committee headed by Jean Edwards. Jeannette Hobbs and Melvin Kozak were appointed co-chairmen of the Athletic Committee, which draws up regulations by which monograms are presented. All assemblies for the school year are prepared by the Assembly Committee of which Jean Tomko is chairman. Billy Underwood was made chairman of the Publicity Committee which has as its purpose to publicize all school events and activities. One of the most important of these committees is the Building and Grounds Committee headed by Charlie Ward. This committee conducts regular inspections of homerooms for cleanliness. The most important achievements of the Ways and Means Committee this year have been the adoption of resolutions and plans concerning a school hand and the organization of a teen-age recreation center.

One of the highlights for the year in this club was the Christmas as¬ sembly for which both the Boys’ and the Girls’ Glee Clubs furnished the program. The numbers rendered by the Girls’ Club w-ere a Bach Chorale, “Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee, and “Gesu Bambino by Yon. The Girls’ Glee Club began after Christmas to make plans to compete in the Music Festival in Norfolk in March. It had special required numbers which formed the competition, and it was also required to know certain folk songs and hymns which all competing schools had to be able to sing in chorus. Our school is proud of this club and the work that the girls and their director, Miss Hewlett, do to bring pleasure and enjoyment to the student body. Boys’ Glee Club They like the lusty, rollicking songs of the sea, and the pep and rhythm of marching songs. Perhaps we should say that they are at their best in performing these types, because, as you know, it is rather hard to tone down a full-throated bass or an ambitious tenor. Miss Hewlett has succeeded somewhat in this ca| acity by introducing such songs as Now the Day Is Over” and “Barcarolle .” The Boys ' Glee l lub has informed twice this year. They combined with the girls in the Christmas assembly to give mellowness and depth to “The First Noel.” Later in the year, they sang at a meeting of the A. P. T. P. and enchanted all with their nautical song, “What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor? Though they did not enter the music festival contests, they worked on the beautiful hymn “The Spacious Firmament” by Haydn.

The purpose of this club is to promote debating, public shaking, and a better understanding of parliamentary law. Regardless of where we go or what we do, now or in after life, we will find that the knowledge gained from such friendly and informal instruction will aid us in understanding the vicw| oints of others. The poise and self-confidence we gain is, indeed, an asset. During the year various outside speakers attended the meetings and gave helpful advice, thus enabling the memlters to obtain the aid and opinions of those older and wiser than themselves. The Wranglers ' Club sponsors those pupils from Suffolk High School who enter the debating and public speaking contests in the Virginia High School Literary and Athletic League. Besides these highly commendable activities, the Wranglers’ Club sponsors the George Washington Ball each February. A few days before the dance, contestants are nominated and then (tolls are set up to choose the queen and maid of honor of the kill. This dance, like the more serious undertakings of this club, has become a (tart of the customs and traditions of Suffolk High School.

Each of these members is selected on the grounds of the four ideals—Clean Living, Clean Sj eech, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship. After he is chosen, each new mem¬ ber must undergo an initiation which he never forgets. It is necessary for a student to pass at least three accredited subjects to remain a number in good standing. The second Sunday of each month the club attends various church services in a body with other Hi-Y Clubs of the school. In this way, it is possible for them to learn altout and experience every religion. Every year a project of this club is to sponsor a Sadie Hawkins Dance, a co-ed affair which is carried out in true yokum fashion. Indeed, this club has done its |«rt to maintain its ideals, for they stand on and for the platform and purpose of Hi-Y. Girls’ Senior Hi-Y Club OFFICERS EADS URBACH. JEAN TOMKO. VIRGINIA GOODE.

It is one of the ' most active clubs in the school, lioth in carrying out projects for the student body and in building in each one of its members the character and strong foundation she will need in later life. This club played Santa Claus to a small boy at Christmas and decorated the school for the holiday season. It has kept the girls’ rest room on the third floor neat and has sold concessions at two of the basketball games. One of its more recent projects has been the planning of the bronze memorial placque for those who gave their lives in World War II. At its completion, it will be placed on the main floor of our school building. The girls in this club endeavor in their every-day life to live up to the standards which their purpose and platform set. They believe that they arc a model club for Christ¬ ian living.

Talks were made on each of the four Hi-Y C ' s—Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholarship, Clean Living. This club carried out many fine projects during the year. Some of these were keeping the physical education playing field marked with lime, keeping students from playing in the gymnasium during the lunch hour, and taking up the song Itooks after assembly. Also, this club attended the various church services in town in a Itody with the other Hi-Y Clubs of the school on the second Sunday of each month.

Among these were guarding devotionals in as¬ sembly and taking care of the girls’ rest room on the second door. Going to church with the combined Hi-Y Clubs on the second Sunday of each month is stressed. For its Christ¬ mas program the club gave a Christmas basket to a | oor child. On Wednesday night, December 18, the members had a Christmas party in the Home Economics room. The monthly program of the Girls’ Junior Hi-Y Club is divided into four meetings: business, discussion, Bible study, and committees. Once a month some person is invited to speak before the club on a topic selected from the Bible. From last year’s treasury, a gift of three bronze placques was presented to the Buildings and Grounds Committee this year to be used in connection with the Homeroom Improvement project.

Yes, the Dramatic Club is again rehearsing for a play. This time, it is comprised of only one act and will make its debut l efore the A. P. T. P. If it wins their praise, it will l e our presentation in the state literary contest in Charlottesville. Not only do these plays reveal talent in the persons of actors and actresses, but many others gain experience in painting scenery, make-up artistry, stage lighting, costume designing, and prompting. Everyone has a part in each production the club sponsors and in this way. each person displays his individual talent and interest. Of course, the students in the school take part in these plays, for talent is one issue each time a play is produced, and student tryouts are important in the accurate representation of each character in the play. It is, therefore, the main job of the Dramatic Club to be the instigator and s|K� nsor of every production which is presented in school. Since its beginning, the Dramatic Club is proud of its record of performances which have received great praise, both from the school students and from those organizations to which they were presented. The plays sent to the State Literary Contest have won honor for Suffolk High School. We can always count on our Dramatic Club for tops in entertainment!!

During the regular class period each Friday, the Distributors’ Club holds its meetings. A most successful project of this club was that of securing advertisements for footltall programs during the season when they were needed. They ha e elected this as a project for next year, also.

This year, two lettermen returned to the cheerleading squad l oos:ing a count of nine. Another ntemlier often put in an appearance at football games, for little Alice White, daughter of Coach and Mrs. Dick White, cheered just as hard and enthusiastically as all the others. It takes training, practice, and a good set of lungs to be a cheerleader. Few of us know how hard they work to maintain their excellent standard. If wc did, perhaps we’d appreciate a little more those peppy yells just when the game seems hardest. Let’s give credit where credit is due and yell “Nice going” to our cheerleaders! They deserve it!

Each year the Monogram Club sponsors a dance, an affair which is eagerly awaited by all of the students. Another project of this club was to stimulate enthusiasm for spring sports and to secure the support of the entire student l ody. With such a group ready to lend their aid to all suggestions for every sport, we are certain to have in Suffolk High School a well- rounded athletic curriculum adaptable to each boy ' s needs. Our boys have found that clean playing applies not only to the footl� all field or basket¬ ball court, but to everything they do. “Good sport” as well as good sportsman” applies to every member.

Hyde is a hard-working member of the Senior Class and we think he deserves the honor of being an Outstanding Senior. ANN TRUITT When you think of The Peanut, you automatically think of Ann Truitt. Being co-editor is a hard job, but she has proved , her ability. Ann is also a prominent member in the Double Quartet, Hi-Y. and Playmakers. and president of the Glee Club. In all of these she has shown great interest, and in recognition of this and her many activities which are im¬ proved by her cheerful participation, her classmates have chosen Ann as an Outstanding Senior. CHARLES TUCKER Charles Tucker, as chairman of the Ways and Means Committc. has done a hard job in an excellent manner. His interest in sports led him to the positions of cheerleader and sports editor of the Peanut Picker. As if this weren’t enough, Charles is vice-president of the A.P.T.P.. an office holding member of the Hi-Y, and one of the Monogram Club. All this made it imperative that he l e chosen as outstanding among the Senior Class, and so we proudly display his picture in this “Hall of Fame.” OUTSTANDING SENIORS JEAN SHALLCROSS Jean Shallcross rates the title of “busiest girl in Suffolk High School. Her work on The Peanut as co-editor, and on the Peanut Picker as feature editor shows her never failing enthusiasm. Jean is also a member of the Hi-Y Club and (lice Club and is the manager of the Girls’ Basketball Team. It was in viewing all these activities well done that make her classmates elect her as an Outstanding Senior.

Our school could not be the beautiful, well-cared-for place it is without his constant attention. When the present high school building was finished in 1922, William came here as janitor and has rounded out twenty-five years of faithful service. Before that, he served the Thomas Jefferson school for four years ; and, prior to that, William was janitor at the John Randolph School from 1912 to 1918. We all regard William in highest esteem, and it is our wish that he will be around for many years to come. We take great pride in dedicating this page to one who has been so faithful in service.

The coaching staff, made up of Coaches Dick White and John Davis, turned out a light but fast team. One of the deciding features in our team ' s success, in addition to the strength of its line and the fast thinking of ts backfield, was its ability to work together, to perform as a team. The season was started successfully with Portlock as our opponent on our home field. This was the first time the Red Raiders had ever played Portlock, and the final score was Suffolk 25, Portlock 7.

FOOTBALL (Continued from Page 77 ) still won the District Group II championship, and a post-season game with Harrisonburg was schedul¬ ed. The game was called the Peanut Bowl under the sponsorship of the Suffolk Rotary Club. At the fin .1 whistle, the score was Har¬ risonburg 13. Suffolk 6. Much credit for the suc¬ cess of this champion team is due Jack Stroud who was manager for the sea¬ son and also his able as¬ sistants, Beverly Carter and Earl Johnson. It is needless to say what a tremendous success the 1946 football season was! Beside our winning the championship once again, all the students really got a thrill out of attending almost every game played. This in itself s ' ows t he school spirit always present in Suffolk High School. Let’s hope next year’s season is as suc¬ cessful as this one has been! ■■M Carter, Stroud, Johnson Standing—Left to Right: Coach White, Stroud, Spivey.

At the beginning of the season, they were a little “off,” but as the season progressed, they began getting better and still better, and finally wound up in the finals in the District Group II tournament. The first game of the season was played with Wilson, a Group I school. We, of course, were out of our class, the score being Wi’s n 57, Suffolk 15. The next contest was also with a Group I school, Norview. The score of this game was Norview 39, Suffolk 24. We won the next encounter w ith Oceana w ith a score of 28 to 23. However, we were not quite so lucky in the fo’lowi ' g game played at South Norfolk by a score of 30 to 25. Then we were downed by Norview 30 to 27, and then by Cradock 43 to 33. It seemed that at the l egi in ' ng of the sea on we just couldn’t click, for once again we lost a close game, this time with Morrison by a score of 18 to 14. Rut then we came roaring badk, to stop Kempsville 31 to 14, also Morrison by a score of 24 to 19. Next Windsor and Oceana were thrown by the wayside, 44-22, 38-20 respectively. However, South Norfolk snapped our streak by beating us by a score of 38 to 22, but we came l ack strong in the next game, overcoming Cradock by an astounding score of 50 to 28. Also we capsized BASKETBALL Kempville by a score of 42 to 21, Churchland 41 to 24, and Alexander Park 38 to 33. We met Alexander Park the next week, and once again beat them, this time by a score of 42 to 31. A non-conference game with Franklin was on the menu where the Raiders came thiough 36 to 14 to top off a “swell” season. The final playoff for the district Group II champion¬ ship was held in the Wilson gym. Crocker Employs Hook to Help Those entering were hurchlAnd 41-24. Suffolk, South Norfolk, Cradock, and Morrison. In the first game, we conquered South Norfolk by a surprising score of 37 to 24. Cradock beat Morrison 60 to 19. The championship match was between Suffolk and Cradock, the Raiders losing by a score of 50 to 34. Though Cradock won the championship, the main thing was the Red Raiders fought with clean sports¬ manship shown throughout the tournament as well as the entire season. Thus with the able coaching of Cozch Dick White and the capable managing of Jack Stroud, assisted by Jimmy Barnes, the Raiders finished a sea¬ son of which they can well be proud. The total number of points made during the season was 643 to their opponents’ 548. High scor¬ er for Suffolk was Claud Eley with 176 points made, followed by Jack Annas with 101 points.

The Kai lere tes scored a total of 654 points as compared to 438 for their opponents. Our girls opened the season by trouncing Norview 41 to 34. In their second game Oceana proved no match for them and they went down in defeat 25-17. The girls then hit the road and had their taste of defeat at South Norfo’k where they were overcome 35-29. The lassies next came through with two thrashing victories —a 57-39 triumph over Norview and a 35-14 win over Cradock. Hard luck came again and the girls lost a narrow 39-27 decision to Morrison. They, however, warmed up and handed Kempsville a 47-22 beating followed by a brilliant scige of revenge on the Morrison Farmerettes, 34-19. The second team then took on a strong Windsor sextet and defeated them 25- 20. The varsity swung back into action with a 33-18 win over Oceana. South Norfolk again edged out the girls in a hard fought home contest, 34-31. They went on a four game winning streak by whipping Cradock, 50-30, Kempsville 44-22, Churchland, 54-26, and Alexander Park 32-29. The home team then journeyed to Alexander Park for a return contest and failed to sink enough points to overcome their game opponents, 23-22. The Suffolk girls tapered off their brilliant season with an easy 58-17 victory over an inexperienced Franklin six. BASKETBALL Bradshaw in Spotlight Against Churchlanij Miss Emily Pittman handled the reigns of the team for the twelfth con¬ secutive year and as usual added many honors to her past reputation as one of the outstanding coaches of the state. The team this year was capably managed by Jean Shallcross, assisted by Sarah Crocker. Freshman Virginia Mae Rountree, a newcomer to the squad, took scoring honors with a total of 344 points for the season. Second high scorer was Virginia Blair with 133 points. Jeannette Hobbs along with Judy Smith, Lilly Mae Dillard, and Nell Brad¬ shaw took care of the remaining points. Sparkling at the guard positions were Jean Edwards, Sarah Carr, and Helen Davies. Florence Bowden and Barbara Hassen saw action as relief guards. Again in 1946 and 1947 the Suffolk High girls’ bas¬ ketball team proved to be one of the outstanding teams in Tidewater Vir¬ ginia.

STORE Oometimes it is the nature of a craft to create an unbreakable tic be¬ tween itself and the worker in that field, a heart attachment equal to life¬ time devotion. One familiar example is PRINTING. Once editor, once compositor, or pressman catches the spirit of tiic shop, the spell is seldom broken. Like the odor of a camp fire, or a whiff of salt air, the be¬ loved tang of printer ' s ink, symboli¬ cal of a great profession, gets into your heart and soul. School Annuals. Magazines, Newspapers and Special Printing, all smack of it. It is an invisible link that binds all intelli¬ gence together. It is the stimulus for creation in business or romance. This craftsmanship, this devotion to service and alertness to business needs, has nourished and developed enormous industrial vitality and whichevet way the course of the future runs, the printer will always find himself able to adapt his helpfulness to new opportunity.
