Suffolk High School - Peanut Yearbook (Suffolk, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1951 volume:

In March, 1942, the official seal of Suffolk High School was adopted by the Student Senate. Designed and painted by a school-spirited student of the Junior Class, John D. Woodward, it represents all that Suffolk High stands for: the crown of leadership, the cross of spiritual development, the lamp of learning. Above the shield is the star of progress, whose five points indicate the ways in which we strive to grow: mentally, physically, morally, spiritually, and socially. The circumscribed wreath of oak. signify¬ ing strength, and laurel, symbolizing victory over the five points of progress, is tied by the knot of friendship. The torn mantie around the shield gives evidence that many battles have been fought to overcome the obstacles standing in the way of progress. In carrying out the ideals expressed in the seal, we students use as our guide our motto which is placed below the shield—Quisque dat optimum, Each gives his best. £ Mr THE 1951 PEANUT SUFFOLK HIGH SCHOOL SUFFOLK VIRGINIA Volume XXIX Editor-in-Chief—Letty Lee January Co-Business Managers—Nancy Ann Newman Fred Whitfield Co-Sponsors—Miss Virginia Brinkley Mrs. P. M. Burton WE DEDICATE ... to our tried and trusted friend, Mr. Jack Jones, this volume of The Peanut as an expression of our devotion and gratitude for his many and varied services. He came to us back in 1942, ostensibly, to care for our building and grounds; actually, in less thon a decade, he has succeeded in making himself indispensable to each one of us. From bringing the morning s mail to transforming the gym for Junior-Senior, no request seems too trivial or too stupendous for our genial and resourceful Captain Jack-of-all-trades. For him, all our best always! L f ut introduce two very good friends: Mr. W. R. Savage and Mr. H. B. Brockwell. The former is our superintendent; the latter, our new principal. We forget sometimes about their high sounding titles, remembering instead the helpful interest they so reodily show in us and our affairs. our meiiTORS Work in the office of S.H.S. goes on as usual. Miss Lilly doubtfully reads Lefty Lee s excuse while Judy stands near by to say, It ' s the truth. Mr. Jones, we feel sure, is arranging some Big Deal or maybe he ' s just telling a patron, No, we re not teaching through today. 5 MR.

Let ' s stroll through the halls of S.H.S. and glance at our superb faculty. Each plays on important role in our school life. There are some characteristics of these teachers which we shall long remember. See that dapper figure? He’s our own Beau Brum- mel, Mr. Almarode. On the third floor, in a small room crammed with desks is Miss Basler typing her heart out. Down in 109, Miss Bell is pacifying the eighth graders. Then we have Miss B always saying, I ' ll not head the editorial staff again. We never believed her, but it has happened in 51. What ' s that brilliant reflection in 207? Pardon, correction, it ' s just Miss Britt ' s Sparkler. Mr. Brockwell, do you realize my room is 55° ? That’s our dear Mrs. Burton. The quietest thing in our school is Miss Cottam, guardian of the library. Look, a loud speaker for S.H.S. Heck! It ' s just for Mr. Crocker ' s room. Who takes a flash picture five minutes before the bulb goes off? Im¬ possible? Mr. Culpepper does it. The big guy whom you-see in the outer office counting nickels is Cop ' n Art. MISS ANNA KOONTZ General Science, Biology MISS LOUISE LILLY Typing. Secretory to Principal MRS. WILLARD LIPSCOMB Language Arts Here we find Jesse operating an amateur radio station. By means of the Morse code, he is talking to a fellow ham. Wonder whot they ' re saying? MISS MARY F. MAXEY Physical Education What ' s this? Why, of course, Jimmy, Noah, and Grady are making an ash tray with a sand mould. Mr. Culpepper says, You should have seen them when they tried to pour the metal into the mould. MR. JOHN MOLINARI Band WITH THE FflCULTV Who s the little girl bisecting a frog? Oh, it ' s Miss Koonti! Could it be Miss Lilly who makes the outer office such o popular spot? Crash! Bang! No, it’s not an atomic attack. Just Mrs. Lip ' demanding silence. What teacher drives up each day in a blue convertible? None other than Coach Maxey. The little man with the moustache is ‘ Cap ' n Muliy. Do you smell that wonderful aroma? It comes from Miss New¬ man’s kitchen. Was your report marked in red ink? Then you ' re in one of Miss Pruden s classes! ' Parlez-vous fran ais? Well, you won ' t till you take Mrs. Taylor ' s French lessons! MISS E. TAPELLE PRUDEN Social Studies.

Next ore the two most recent additions: Miss Vaughan and Miss Thedieck. In case you hear a faint voice coming from the auditorium saying, We can ' t have the kiss, it ' s Miss West holding rehearsal. Snap it up for prac¬ tice, boys. No stopping at Luck ' s. Thus speaks Cap ' n Dick. Now at Columbia we learned that . . Pardon us, Miss Yates, but this is 30 for this section. Bujy at a bee. That ' s our stenographers! They con certainly type, add. and take shorthand mighty well. Leave it to Miss Basler; her girls are top workers. Mr. Crocker looks on while the brains of the physics class concentrate on a tough one. What ' s the matter, Lawrence, don ' t you understand it? MR. LEWIS WHITE Athletic Director AT LAST OUR oiPLomns! Well, whadda y ' know? We made it. We re the Seniors! This year was slow in coming, but now it ' s slipping by so fast we re frantic. Why?

Matthews leads the Senate as president, and Cornelius Blair is vice- president. During the past year, the Senate has undertaken such jobs as planning the defense for Suffolk High in case of atomic attack and all activities related to the Peanut Bowl. The Senate is advised by our principal, Mr. Brockwell. J. B.

Our Committee Heads The Ways and Means Committee, the executive body of the Senate, was organized with Bobby Trump as chairman. This year the group bps been most active. As honorary mem¬ bers of the Student Senate, they plan almost everything that is done for the school although they have no vote in the Senate. The Ways and Means sponsored a Daisy Mae ' dance this year which proved a big success. Other organizations may have the interest of the school at heart, but our Ways and Means Committee is just tops.

V THESE PRESERUE OUR IDEmORIES Here assembled, we find the editorial and business staff of The 1951 Peanut. From editor to ad-getter. each one has contributed his share of real honest-to-goodness labor. It hosn’t all been easy: pictures to be retaken, mislaid negatives, copy that wouldn’t jell, write-ups over due, missing ads, and incomplete subscription lists, etc. But it has been fun, and we ' ve enjoyed every minute of it. All we need now is your approval.

Ulearers Of The “S” For these weorers of the S there is the honorary club known to everyone as The Monogram Club. Previously outnum¬ bered by the boys, the girls have almost equaled the membership of the males through the addition of the cheerleaders. The main undertaking of this club has been the Peanut Bowl Dance, held at the Shrine Club. What a success it was! Again Cap’n Dick has acted as their sponsor, and the club elected Fred Harrell president. James Bradshaw was vice-president and the job of secretary- treasurer was held by Mary Hundley. At if we needed a megaphone and a big red S to identify our cheerleaders Dynamos of pep and grace—our hats are off to these lassies whose school spirit shines brightly all the year through. 42 FIRST ROW, left to right: Birdsong, Corter, Whitley, Winslow, Miss West, Brothers, Taylor, McKinney, Gillcrisf, SECOND ROW: Holladay, Goldberg, Edwards.

Though having last year ' s superb record to live up to, the club has once more gained recognition throughout the state. Primarily a service club, this Tri- Hi-Y helped tremendously in the March of Dimes. They sponsored a most enjoyable dance! As usual, they carried on many charitable activities. Do you remember the cheerful hall decorations around Christmas time? Why, of course, you do, and the Gladys Yates Tri-Hi-Y had a hand in that also! Here we hove the Tri-Hi-Y bulletin board in 304.

Formed under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club, the Key Club was created to render services to the school as the civic clubs do to the community. Contrary to the thought of some, the Key Club is not on organization for future Kiwanians. Club membership is derived from the boys in the Sophomore. Junior and Senior classes who, besides having a high aver¬ age, must show leadership ability and take part in extra-curricular activities. Each year an International Conven¬ tion is held. In 1950 Columbus, Ohio, was the scene of this affair. Five members of the local group were delegates. So here ' s to the new club of our Phi Beta Kappas.

This year ' s team, however, gave Cap ' n Diclc one of his most successful seasons since he first assumed control as head coach, in 1945. Knocking off eight Group II teams, the Raiders met defeat only at the hands of strong Norview and Cradock, both of Group I society. Had the Big Red stayed exclu¬ sively in their own class, an absolutely spotless record would have probably been the result. Through lack of sufficient talent, coaches White and Jones abolished the two-platoon system this year. They installed the relatively new split-t forma¬ tion to complement the old reliable single-wing. It proved to be the nearly perfect solution to Coach White ' s biggest problem: a small, inexperienced forward wall. The backfleld also profited by the split-t, for the old single-wing formation was somewhat of a handicap to the light weight, but high speed of this year ' s ball-carrying department. unBEDTcn in group come on - - - - raiders! Coaches Whit and Jones don ' t seem to like whatever it going on out on th field. Are they tensely waiting to tee if th Raiders picked up a first down on that last play?

All for th Raiders, stand up and hollar! And that ' s just what these loyal Suffolk High football fans are doing. Th Raiders, who seldom suffer from poor adult support, can always count on a near¬ capacity crowd at every game, even those played away. 53 1950 RECORD The tame old grind, day after day. It ' i Bev Hoiladay, the lowly assistant manager, who, along with Sam Darden, did all the work, while the boss, Don Whitley, exhausted himself finding some¬ thing else for him to do.

Don did a fine job and more than earned his varsity S. It ' s Bullet Bill Dudley, star of the professional Washington Redskins, and guest speaker at the Raiders ' 1950 football banquet. He ' s just had the pleasure of meeting the 51 Raider co-captains, James Bradshaw and Deno Diamond. THE VARSITY S To every Suffolk High School athlete, his S“ is on accomplished goal, and the personal satisfaction derived from earning it cannot be obtained from any other form of scholastic award. To his fellow students, it is positive proof that he has voluntarily contributed to S.H.S. a service beyond and above the call of duty. And, to all outsiders, its wearer is regarded as one having uphe ' d and respected Suffolk High School’s fine traditions of com¬ petitive spirit, good sportsmanship, and fair play. Truly, the owner of a Red Raider Varsity S can rightfully feel proud of his school, of his team, and most of oil, of himself! come on — raiders: A tri-captain, Bobby Trump wo; a leftover from la:t year ' s championship team. Holding down a first-string position, Trump could always be depended on for a good game. He will be sorely missed nest year. An S.H.S. football immortal,, Charles Bradshaw ' s name was hated by all Raider opponents, and no wonder! Twice all-district, he has been the Raider ' s top scorer and ground gainer for the past two years. ft VCR Georg Ellis, a lanky Raider wingmon, could always be counted on for a hard and spirited ball game. Playing his first year of varsity foot¬ ball with little eiperience, he developed quickly and gave the first team ends consider¬ able competition. Called ham-hands because of his huge mitts, James Brad¬ shaw was a hard worker, whose blocking and pass catching rated nothing but praise from his coaches. He will be a co-captain of the 1951 team. With the installation of the split-t, J. B. Matthews was switched from blocking-back to a tackle position. Even though it meant fewer head¬ lines and harder work, he changed willingly, and turned in a very creditable record. J. B. was tri-coptoin of the team. Speed Demon of the Raider grid¬ iron—that ' s Nicky Lawyer. He didn’t shake himself loos too often, but when he did. a touchdown was the inevitable result. He has another year to go. Breaking his ankle in the Fred¬ ericksburg game, Fred Gus Harrell was sidelined for the rest of the season. His coaches and teammates will tell you that he was the hard¬ est worker and most depend¬ able player on the squad. Never get In my way unless you want to get killed I That was Parry Duke ' s motto, and many a would-be tackier has been carried off the field for disputing it. Look-out, opponents, he ' ll be back next year. I ' m just a plain ol‘ country boy wot Sulli Culpepper ' s tun . This tobacco chewing lad wai the t am work-horse at an alternate center, guard and tackle. He Hat more than earned both of hit football letters. It didn ' t matter haw big they were: when thi little fireball hit ' em, they moved! Weigh¬ ing only 139 Ibe., Deno Dia¬ mond just couldn ' t be beat out for a first string guard spot. He ' s going to be back nest year as co-captain. A daring strategist, Bill Run- dio was tri-captain and field general of the 1950 Raiders. Quick-thinking, hard hitting, and an undying love for the game are his trademarks. Billy will return nest year. The Raiders ' little man of might! Although he was ham¬ pered considerably by in¬ juries all season, Bill Ellis will go down in Roider gridiron history as a real hipper- dipper scatbock, as well as the deadliest tackier on the w. In some games he could snag greased lightning: in others he couldn ' t catch a cold. L H. Byrd was that unpredictable! But in cru¬ cial games, such as South Norfolk and Harrisonburg, he proved him¬ self to be a mighty handy man to have around. jhiiidf) HIiniuii m um ms .tili ihi r - , ' ' iiania mum v v ma A 200 lb. sophomore, Jimmy Crocker was the lad who moved in and took over the tackle spot vacated by Fred Harrell. He now has plenty of combat oiperienc and should be unchallenged for the post next year. Following in his brother’s footsteps.

Gee, I wish I could reach that high!” Bobby Trump seems reluc¬ tant to scramble with such big boys, and Billy Rundio finds himself excluded in the ball-fight, but nevertheless. The Raiders came through in fine style, and added another victory to their string Enjoying a highly successful year, the 1950-51 Red Raider baslceteers were runners up for the district championship, losing to Matthew Whaley in the playoff, 55-49. Led by the Bradshaw brothers, the Raiders swept through fifteen opponents losing to only six. Only one district foe was able to whip the Raiders in conference play, that team being Matthew Whaley, who did it twice. So, the Red Raider quintet of 1950-51 will always be remembered as one of the greatest in S.H.S. history. FIRST ROW, | ft to right: Small. Birdsong. B.; Hopkins, Barrow, Turner. SECOND ROW: Thompson.

Getting off to a sluggish start, the girls progressed very creditably as the season moved into high gear, swamping nearly every opponent on their schedule. Under the able coaching of Miss Maxey, the Raider¬ ettes finished the season with a record of thir¬ teen wins, five losses, and one tie. In the district championship playoff, the team bowed to Oceana ' s cagers, 64-44. Barbaro McCtenny, spunky Raiderettes ' guard, serves notice that she ' ll fight for the boll and leaps for it. Faye Umphlette looks on excitedly. Now, if you ' ll do it this way, you ' ll score every time, says Miss Moxey to four of her first stringers. Making her debut this year as Coach of the Raiderettes, Miss Maxey has won the heart of every student and it is hoped that she will remain at S.H.S. for many years to come. 1950 SCHEDULE Dual meet at Hopewell Highland Springs Invitational maet District meet at WiPiomsburg Triangular meet with Crodock, Churchland—at Cradock State track meet at Charlottes¬ ville FIRST ROW. left to right: Blan¬ chard, Manager; Hines, Eason, Harrell.

Their next entry was at the Highland Springs Invitational, where the local lads grabbed the No. 6 spot. Then came the district meet at Williams¬ burg, and a third place for the Raiders, followed by a triangular track meet with Cradock and Churchland, where Suffolk placed second. In the state meet at Charlottesville, the Raid¬ ers were able to muster only a single point, with Nick Lawyer’s fourth place in the 100 yard dash. The 1950 Red Raider racketeers suffered one of their worst seasons’ in many a year, winning only once in five starts. It must be taken into con¬ sideration, however, that each team the Raider courtmen faced was a strong Group I team. Besides the win over Cradock, the Raiders had one tremendous honor awarded them: John Car¬ ver, holding down the No. I spot on the team, ventured to Charlottesville and won the state Group II singles Championship.

THIRD ROW: Crocker, Bradshaw, C.; Rundio. Byrd, Wiggins. Coach White. The trio on the right sparked the Raider sackmen to the District Championship. This year, the Roider nine, under the able coaching of Mr. White, came through with one of the best records in the history of the school. The Raiders, going into the Smithfield game with a spotless 9-0 mark, were led by their two sensa¬ tional hurlers, Charles Bradshaw (6-0), and Joe Wiggins (5-1). Finishing with a 12-1 record, the Big Red ' s only loss was at the hands of Smithfield, a no-hitter pitched by Bloxom. Bradshaw, with two no-hit wins, led the Raiders in both pitching and batting, hitting well over .400. Bobby Trump was second in the slugging race, with an average in the high .300. Finishing the season in fine style with only the Smithfield loss to spoil a perfect record, the Red Raiders brought District I, Group II, Baseball Championship to Suffolk.
