As the governing body of Suffolk High School, the Student Senate strives to serve not only its school but also its community. During the year, it sponsors projects such as dances, collecting for the Red Cross, and filling baskets with canned goods at Christmas. This group, whose mem¬ bers are elected by their classmates from each home¬ room, is also a meeting place for suggestions or complaints made by students or faculty. The Ways and Means Committee, as a branch of the Student Senate, helps to enforce its policies. Working together, the two organiza¬ tions do a great job of leading our school.

The 1968-1969 National Honor Society is composed of twenty-five members. In November an induction assembly was held and speeches were given on the qualities of leadership, scholarship, character, and service. The carrying out of these qualities is a main concern of the Honor Society. To create an enthusiasm for scholarship, socials were held for honor roll students and letters of congratulations were sent out. As an annual project, the club again offered a $100 scholarship to a deserving senior. This money was raised by operating the cloakroom at home basketball games and by bake sales.

Key Club, one of the most active clubs in school, is always striving to be number one. After a rough initiation, the cltrt began its work. The members ushered during football games and sponsored a car bash for the Peanut Bowl. They also entered a float in the parade. To make money for the Bobby Traylor Scholar¬ ship, the club sold light bulbs and sponsored the annual TWIRP dance. This scholarship is always given to a deserving Senior boy. The club carried out the national theme, “In¬ fluence through example,” by collecting books and contributing money to needy causes. Truly these boys deserve much credit for all their hard work and good deeds. An added activity of the Interact Club is acting as pages to the City Council meetings. OFFICERS: President Chorey.

Civic Samaritan Tri-Hi-Y Boodie Newsom was elected as district page to the Model General Assembly. The purpose of Tri-Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. This year the two chapters of the Civic Samaritan Tri-Hi-Y have done much to fulfill this lofty ideal. They sold Krispy-Kreme Doughnuts to increase their treasury. For the Disabled American Veterans, the clubs sold forget-me-nots. In preparation for the ’68-’69 school year, the officers attended a training session at Massanetta. The officers made jack-o-lanterns for the Naval Hospital. They went Christmas caroling at the nursing homes and served as volunteer workers in the Salvation Army booths at Christmas. They also helped the Junior Red Cross. Boodie Newsom represented the district as page to the Model General Assembly. The club is proud of its past accomplishments and looks forward to even greater heights of service and fellowship. 62 Club members sold Krispy-Kreme Doughnuts to add funds to their treasury.

Chances are it is the Future Homemakers of America trying out some new recipe introduced to them by their sponsor and teacher, Mrs. Taylor. The club, led by Betsy Hobbs, undertook many projects, which benefitted all the members. Among these projects was the spring fashion show, which was a smashing success. thing. 73 “Hey, hand me that brush!’’ “Okay, catch!” Such cries were often heard during the football and basket¬ ball season as the hard-working Pep Club members painted signs to promote spirit and enthusiasm. Again this year, membership was limited to a number of loyal members who always got the job done. Besides painting signs, the members had the job of setting the example of good sportsmanship for all the students. The club had as one of its main projects the decoration of the gym for the Peanut Bowl Dance. The group did a terrific job. and everyone agreed that the dance was one of the best.

Lewis Garnett has just convinced Mrs. Eddy that she can’t live another minute without a D. E. candy bar. The Distributive Educa¬ tion Club, sponsored by Mr. Miller, has been one of the most active clubs around this year. Among their many pro¬ jects were a candy sale, the sponsoring of a float in the Peanut Bowl, and an assem¬ bly which consisted of a skit followed by a panel discus¬ sion about shoplifting. Mr. Miller certainly deserves some of the credit for the success of the club, as do the officers and members. FRONT ROW: V. Darden. Hawkins. Cheeks. J. Reilly, P. DeBenedictus.

The pep rallies always ended with the singing of “Suffolk Forever.” Sara Ann Saunders Cindy Siemasko Martha Savage Corinne B irdsong Chip Caulk JoAnn Harrell Jane Brinkley Russ Hines Nancy Beville Beth Davis 77 v Science Club Reorganizes Jordan, Remick, Garrett, Murdcn.

Mighty Big Red In Last Game of the Season The cry goes up, “We’ve got the fever, we’re hot. we can’t be stopped.” This year we had a group of boys that couldn’t be beaten. You can’t ask for a much better record, 8-1-1. With the knowledge of our fine coaches, our team couldn’t possible have failed. Even after losing to Southampton, we still felt that we were No. 1. Two weeks later we bounced back to beat Windsor. 18-0, and were on our way to become district champs. The season opened with a band by beating Franklin 13-12. On the twentieth of September, the tension mounted as the John Yeates game was to be played. This was a very important game for the Raiders. They boys came up with a 33-12 victory. The 0-0 tie against Western Branch was a little surprising. The Raiders ' great defense kept the opposing team from scoring. Norfolk Catholic lost only two games this year. One talk before the Norfolk Catholic game. lost was to Suffolk, 19-7. We once again beat Forest Glenn, 19-0. The only loss of the year was to Southampton. It was a hard loss, 7-24, but the boys bounced back with a victory over Smithfield the following week. Perhaps the biggest victory of the year was over Windsor, 18-0. This gave a big leadway to being the district champs. The next week the Raiders defeated Poquoson by the score of 26-13. At last came the Peanut Bowl. The team was packed by the students, parents, and the pep band. On this day, the Suffolk High Red Raiders became the 1968 DISTRICT CHAMPS after the glorious victory of 19-2. Our team is really great!

Raiders Seeded No. I In District From the beginning of the 1968-1969 season, the Raider basketball team was rated by district coaches as “the team to beat.” It wasn’t long before the team proved itself worthy of this distinction. Four of the returning lettermen, David Tillery, John Nemish, John Parr, and Randolph Davis, provided a solid nucleus for a strong squad. The versatile starting five, backed by powerful reserves, formed a great team. Peter Mitchell and CaptaKn Randolph Davis were high scorers for the season. Davis also pulled down the most rebounds. After crushing the Rangers earlier in the season, the Suffolk cagers traveled to Forest Glen to suffer a hotly contested 55-53 non-conference defeat; This defeat ended a ten-game winning streak which had been threatened only once in a close conference win over the Windsor Dukes on their home court. Still, unbeaten in conference play, the Raiders entered the district tournament ranked No. 1. The boys ended an almost perfect season by breaking 100 in the game against Stoney Creek. So the Raiders entered the tournament with a 17-1 record. John Nemish puts up two more for the Raiders.

BASKETBALL TEAM: David Jordan, Jimmy Hayes, Richard Melito, Donnie Beamon, Anthony Hackett, Brian Holliday, Randy Carter, Coach Hill, Kent Spain, Ben Ellis, Sandy Saunders, Ken Lampert, Danny Lawrence, Kermit Goodman, and Marvin Warren. The J. V. basketball team, coached by Mr. Billy Hill, ended its season with an impressive 12-2 record. The team this year chose a different captain for each game, giving more people a chance to serve. This strong, hard-working team was handed its only two defeats by Franklin and Poquoson High. The high scorer for the year was Danny Lawrence. Starting Lineup: Melito, Hackett, Saunders, Carter, Lawrence, and Goodman. Danny Lawrence, high scorer for the year, goes up to add two more to the J. V. scoreboard. STARTING LINEUP: Jinks Lemmon. Martha Prudcn, Diane Man. Becky Rawls, Peggy Hall, and Sandy Baird. MANAGERS: Laura Kinne and Arvis Mitchell. RAIDERETTES The 1968-1969 school year saw the formation of a girls’ J. V. basketball team at SHS in addition to our varsity girls’ team. The varsity Raiderettes, led by Captains, Diane Marr and Becky Rawls, posted a season of four wins and eight losses. The team practiced diligently each afternoon under the direction of Mrs. Dodd and fought hard all during the season. Captains Becky and Diane converse with Coach Dodd. Bobby Sizer demonstrates how to “Stomp the Broncos.” A thrilling 3-2 victory over arch-rival Forest Glen was the highspot of Suffolk’s dismal 1968 baseball season. Led by Capt. Ray Soule and the pitching of Tommy Harry, the Raiders compiled a dispairing record of 3 wins and 9 losses. Actually Coach Dick White’s team performed well enough to win several other games, and 4 of their losses were by 2 runs or less. Suffolk, a newcomer to Group 11 baseball, having played only 3 years, looks forward to future seasons in which its young talent should mature.

Track Our Raider track team for 1968 was a small team of only 11 members, but were high-spirited and full of determination. The scores were against them, but they showed great potential. James Blanchard ended the year with two new school records- high jump - 5’10 ”, and high hurdles - 15.4. He also set a new high hurdles record of 16.25 in the Eastern Shore Invitational. Gene Harrell and James Blanchard represented us in the Stale Tournament. Next year we will hope for better results because 10 of our men will be returning.

After winning many of their matches, th e Raiders captured second place in the district. Except for the three graduating seniors, the whole team will return again in 1969. FIRST ROW: Brinkley.
