go deasi to- The peanut trucks tell us that Suffolk ' s crop is rolling in and another profitable season is on the way. We think it only fitting that we honor King Peanut” because of the important part he plays in all our lives. From him we get the title of our school paper. The Peanut Picker. and our annual, THE PEANUT! From the Nansemond River to the Carolina Highway lies Suffolk, Virginia, the world s larg¬ est peanut market, home of S. H. S., and a pretty wonderful city. For strangers, there is a friendly welcome and for old-timers, the steady warmth of many friendships. Maybe we won ' t admit it, but old Suffolk has much to offer. There ' s Luck ' s,’’ our hangout, recreation facilities, and the good old ‘Nanse- mond for the rivei-rats. As another advantage, there ' s Suffolk High, whose activities all Suf¬ folk citizens support with interest. Many im¬ provements are coming, changing the surface of our fair city, but underneath it’s the same— it ' s Suffolk, Virginia! A crash — then in unison the cry Ten Cents splits the air. Stay loose, don ' t panic, it ' s fust the ritual at ' Luck ' s.” Somebody broke a glass. Approximately one thousand steps from S. H. S. is Luck ' s. otherwise known as Rus¬ sell ' s Confectionery where all the cats meow and chat. Let s go to Luck ' s!!”

The body lhat keeps S. H. S. a wonderful school is the School Board. To them come problems of both students and faculty. These are always solved with our well-being at heart. Surely, they deserve much praise for the never end¬ ing efforts to give their best for the good of all. 7 he luCf wiieeli noil 8 In the short time that Mr. Richardson was out principal he won deep respect from both faculty and students. Just as the annual went to press, he announced his resignation to accept the position of executive secretary of the Virginia High School League. We take this op portunity to thank him sincerely fo r his services and to wish him all the best in his new work. One who has been a friend and counselor as well as our principal for six years is Mr. Savage, or ' ' Doc, as we students fondly, but respectfully, call him. It seems only proper that one so capable should rise to the higher position of Superintendent of Schools. We also feel that our loss is all Suffolk school students ' gain.
