As first period gets under way, the halls are again free of students. INTRODUCTION 1 An Open Door Her duties were many. She never failed to do them all well, but it was what she did beyond her daily tasks that gave her a special place in our hearts. Hers was the door that was always open, whether it was the door to room 302 where she taught for so many years or the one to her office when she was promoted to guidance counselor. For all of the years of being there with an open ear and heart, advice, or even just a smile to brighten our day, the yearbook staff dedicates the 1982 Peanut to Mrs. Frances Lane Alwood teacher, advisor, and most of all, friend. Mrs. Alwood spends much of her day trying to take some of the hassel out of all the paperwork that students are often faced with, such as SAT forms and college transcripts. 2 INTRODUCTION DEDICATION The Gold Mine The Golden Years 4 Go For The Gold 22 Golden Opportunities 44 A cold student runs from the bus, up the front steps, and into the warm halls for another day at school.

That’s where everyone was going. There was a whole new crop of peppy Freshmen to replace last year’s graduating seniors. The Sophomores and Juniors, be¬ ginning to think about their futures, were one notch closer to be¬ ing at the top of the ladder. The seniors were finally there, ready to take a plunge into the “real world.” And above us all were the teachers and administration, some familiar faces, but a majority of them new to us. All of these people helped our school to shine brighter than ever before. A favorite of many students was Garfield, a loveable, cynical cat. MRS SARAH HOBBS. SECRETARY TO THE PRINCIPAL MRS. MILDRED JONES, SECRETARY Executive Branch With two new f guidance counselors, and an experienced office staff on hand, the administration promised to be a beneficial one. Mrs. Fran Alwood and Mr. Rocky Falls, new ' guidance counselors, were always able to help out with a schedule problem or to offer some helpful advice about life after high school. Mrs. Joyce Greene, school bookkeeper, assisted all the clubs and organizations in staying in good financial shape. One could keep in touch with Mrs. Unity Bailey or Mr. John Jones when a problem came up. And Mrs. Sarah Flobbs and Mrs. Mildred Jones maintained the office with efficiency, constantly eager to lend a helping hand to teachers as well as students. MRS. FRAN ALWOOD, GUIDANCE Missing: MR HORACE FALLS, GUIDANCE MRS JOYCE GREENE, BOOKKEEPER ADMINISTRATION 5 Like A Breath Of Fresh Air This year there was a special group of Freshmen. They were full of cheer and pep for the school. They involved themselves in ev¬ ery activity the school offered. Their biggest involvement was with sports and pep activities. Freshmen made up the majority of the newly organized flag corps. They showed real school spirit and pride. The Freshman class won second place for their homecoming float. They found their first experience with paint brushes and flatbeds to be quite a challenge. All of the Freshmen worked to¬ gether as a team. The Freshmen seemed to say the same thing. As Cindy Hollan said, “I like school and find that activities add to the enjoyment of high school.” In this deceiving picture, the band plays The Star Spangled Banner before a Friday night football game.

When there were pep rallies they sat and watched everyone else. They participated in few sports and school activities. The Sophomores might have been Blah”, but when it came to floats, they ex¬ celled. After a hard week of working at the old Coca-Cola plant, they received first place in the float competition. The Soph- mores were very proud of their creation. When the Raiders took the lead over the Rangers, the Sophomores excitement surely matched that of the Seniors. The Raiders victory over the Rangers was a joyous occasion that left the people in the stands crying, jumping, and screaming! We won!” Sophomore Class Officers left to right — Paula White, Treasurer; Yvette Wil¬ son, Secretary.

Ask any junior and he would tell you that it was time to order class rings. Despite the arrival of Au¬ rora, a new metal, and the return of Lustrium, the gold rings were still the favorite of most Juniors. Eric Hollan explained. “Not only do gold rings look better, but they are of a better quality. Since I have a job after school, I can choose the metal 1 prefer.” As in Eric’s case, the coins and the extra “green” in the pock¬ ets of juniors no longer came from their parents. The juniors made time to punch those clocks and get to work. Wendy Beale, an Junior Class Officers left to right: Front Row—Bridget Parker, Vice President; Sharon Pierce, Secretary. Back Row—Greg Strickland, Treasurer; C. J. White, President employee at Leggett’s Department Store, realized that “Having my own spending money makes me a more responsible person.” In spite of the positive side, working while attending school had its disadvantages. According to Tracy Yates, “When I have to work late, doing my homework sometimes means staying up to about 1:00 a.m.” When the Juniors looked back on their experiences in combining the working world, and the school work load, they realized it was worth the extra effort. Reggie Smith, a quest speaker at an as¬ sembly, put it: “Short term pain for long term gain.” The Juniors in the American Studies class enjoy a guided tour of the grounds of the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg. 10 JUNIORS Sharon Faulk Clarence Gamble Donna Gautier Larry Gibson Frank Goldsmith Yolanda Goodman Kenny Griffin Karyn Flail Brian Flail Petula Flarper Mary Flamlin Robert Hayes Brady Heath Prentis Herdon John Holly Kim Holly Eric Hollan Jane Horne Theresa Howell Melissa Judkins Angie Johnson Janet Lawrence John Lawrence Donna Leggett Linda Lewter Angie Matthews Terry Mullins Rudy O’Berry Bridgett Parker Jennifer Parker Randy Parker William Parker Sharon Pierce Bruce Porter Sharon Powell Joe Ramey Steve Redd Christy Rodgers Sherry Ruden Marcus Ruffin Julie Ryder Wendy Sandefur Todd Starling Eric Sharpe Anthony Stephen Alice Simpkins Denise Smith Greg Strickland Tyrone Vick Stephanie Walker Joseph Wells C.

A wave of confusion had come over the class of ' 82 just prior to the Christmas holidays in the form of a large white envelope. It contained a letter from Josten’s stating that caps, gowns, memory books, and all of the other things that seniors eagerly buy would be mail ordered this year. This didn’t bring the response that Josten’s had hoped for. Some seniors just plain forgot and many weren’t sure if their orders were filled in correctly. In the end, representative Mike Price had to make a trip to Suffolk, with that day being billed as the absolute “Last Chance!” JANICE ALISA PARKER JOHN FITZGERALD PARKER When more cheerleaders were needed for basketball.

One the first day of school, there was confusion, not only for the Freshmen, but for many returning Sophomores, Juniors, and even for Seniors. Why all the bewilderment? Simply because there were so many new teachers. Sure the old stand¬ bys like Mrs. Cones, Mr. Corson, and Ms. Ikenberry could be found, but what about this Mr. Littlejohn, or Mrs. Morris, or Mr. Adams? Students were quick in finding out that some of the old teachers had been moved or renamed. Mrs. Alwood was still here, but she wasn’t found teaching the grammar of Spanish 1; she was now in the guidance office offering advice. And Mrs. Orr wasn’t the new art teacher, she was the same Miss Howard with a new name. The first few days were hectic, but aren’t they always?!

Coach Andrew Littlejohn brought us our first football victory in three years. The girls’ basketball team, under Coach Nancy Richey, gave a great performance all the way to the district semi-finals. Mrs. Nann Orr and Mrs. Joan Cones were the new sponsors of the Thespian Society and kept it one of the most popular clubs. Coach Rocky Falls organized the Jogging Club which drew a substantial membership for its first year. Going For The Gold Finally! After two years of not enough hits and too many near misses, the Red Raiders managed to pull it all together and score a win against Forest Glen on Homecoming with a score of 21-19. And what a night! Friday, October 16, 1981 marked the end of Homecoming week. It had been a long week, during which students did their best to ignore the Raiders ' previous record and to make this homecoming one to remember. The pep rally was a spirited one nside the gym, which was decked in red and white in honor of the occasion. The cheerleaders were the only “sad ones in attendance. They had the depressing duty of attending a Ranger : uneral during their hilarious skit. Later in the day the four class floats lined up on Market Street for the traditional Homecoming Parade. They were joined y other entries such as the Spanish Club truck. All of the units were proud of their handiwork. “I thought we ' d never finish our float, said Freshman Billy Twine, “But we did it! However, none of the clubs, classes, nor cheerleaders ' efforts nought more pride and joy than there was when the Red Raiders routed the Rangers ... at long last. home 0:00 MM I • •.«. • • I DOWN 10 TO-GO .

America’s Gold “The time is now” was a slogan from the last political campaign, but it is easily applied to the purposes of the Future Business Leaders of America, and the Industrial Arts Club. These organizations were designed to help their members use the present in order to play for a successful future. In the clubs, students found an extension of their classroom activities and a means of further exploring possible career fields. Mrs. Debbie Strole sponsored the FFA as a part of her agriculture classes. Mr. Leroy Griffin ' s shop classes could make use of their activity periods by joining the Industrial Arts Club. The members of the various business classes came together to form the FBLA under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Darden, Mrs. Florence Reynolds, and Miss Gail Valentine. To complete the group of career-oriented clubs were the members of the FHA, which was sponsored by Mrs. Connie Taylor as a part of the home economics family living classes. 26 SPORTS CLUBS i| Teachers ' Aides Club left to right: Seated Lanita Copeland.

Sponsored by Mrs. Lucille Williams, the club was organized to help teachers with some of the extra work given such as putting up bulletin boards. Members ' services were availabl e to any teachers who requested them. Mrs. Mary Hodge, the school nurse, offered some of her time to sponsor the Nurses Aide Club. In this club, members considered the “ins and outs” of a career in the health field. The Distributive Education Club was one that always stayed busy. The club was sponsored by Mrs. Michele Duncan. Some of their activities included participation in the National Educational Week, sponsoring of faculty breakfasts, and a cookbook sale with the Coed-Hi-Y. purses Aide Club left to right: Mrs. Mary Hodge, Sponsor; JoAnna Barnes, awanna Allen, Lynn Futrell. SPORTS CLUBS 27 Latin and Learning From Ceaser to soothsayers, the Latin Club had a busy year. Sponsored by Ms. Marie Ikenberry, it gave students an opportunity to extend their classroom work to an added dimension during activity period. In the spring the club took part in the city-wide foreign language fair by running a soothsayer tent and telling everyone’s fortunes. The National Honor Society helped to improve fortunes by offering students free tutoring before exams. With the aid of sponsors Ms. Anna Koontz and Mrs. Fran Alwood. members offered to help other students prepare for mid-terms and finals. Mrs. Alwood also offered her advice to the newly-formed Careers Club, which unlike the Honor Society, met during activity period. They explored the outlook and possibilities for many occupations. Meanwhile, the stage provided a source of preoccupation for the Thespian Club. Members investigated all aspects of the field from voice projection to make-up techniques to actually appearing before the footlights. Murder Near the LaRue Morge was presented in early January.

Games, Old and New “Our current balance is what? exclaimed Spanish Club sponsor. Mrs. Bonnie Cavender. The Spanish Club started off the year on the right foot by building the treasury to a level it had never reached before. Members earned several hundred dollars in the fall by participating in the school-wide magazine sale. Bake sales provided additional revenue. All of this money was used to finance such activities as a trip to a musical comedy, dinner for senior members at Chi-Chi’s, and participation in the city-wide Foreign Language Fair. The club also sponsored a young girl in Guatemala. Mr. Robert MacTaggart, another teacher in the foreign language department, also sponsored a popular club. He brought the European sport of Petanque and made it the main subject of the Chess Backgammon Petanque Club. Although the group was a new one, it was a successful year. Some members had trouble deciding which of the interesting games to play. The Bridge Club came back to activity period after two to three year absence. Mr. James Tate, sponsor, taught members of the club the angles of bridge play, and the students had great fun during exciting games. A new organization was the Puppets Club. The club was sponsored by Miss Trudy Horton, youth director at First Baptist Church. Although the group was small, it drew many imaginative students. Frank Goldsmith stated, “We have a good club for people who are creative and we hope to grow larger next year. Bridge Club left to right: Scott Long. Grier Stotlar. Kim Mitchell.

SPORTS CLUBS 29 There’s Still Hope: 4-12 A new coach and a new team characterized the year for the varsity basketball team. With the resignation of Coach Jerry Allen, Mr. Mac Carroll took over the job of coaching the squad. Coach Carroll formerly coached the junior varsity basketball team, and his success with the team made the varsity season look promising. The basketball team, like the football team, spent the year recovering from a two year slump in victories. However, the first taste of success came in the opening game with an unexpected win over Sussex-Central. Other wins came against Smithfield and Forest Glen. One of the most exciting games was the home game against number one, Franklin. The game went into overtime with the score tied at 70 points each. Although the Raiders lost by three points, that game showed just what the team was capable of — winning! Kenny Shields looks hopefully for an opening at the goal to make that all important shot. Players, fans, and Coach Mac Carroll look on intently as the Forest Glen Rangers try to out-score the Raiders.

Golden Recovery: 1-9 There was no way that the score board could accurately describe the accomplishments of the 1981-82 football team. In spite of the fact that the team only chalked up one victory, its greatest goal had been achieved: the Red Raiders broke out of their two year losing streak. After enduring twenty-eight games of put-downs, jeers, and steadily decreasing support, the Raiders managed to pull out of their tailspin. On Homecoming, October 16, new coach, Andrew Littlejohn and a crowd of delighted spectators watched proudly as their team routed the Forest Glen Rangers. The final score was 21-19. The Red Raiders also closed the scoring gap in games with other Peanut District teams. There were no shut-outs and the team usually scored at least twice each game. The close games and the triumphant victory brought game attendance back up. This gave the team and all of the Raider family more pride than had been experienced in a number of seasons.

SUFFOLK RAIDERS!” As one of the favorites, this cheer rang through the sky and the gym during football and basketball seasons. But there were different groups of cheerleaders leading this cheer throughout the two different seasons. During football season, six excited juniors kept the students cheering for a very successful and finally victorious team. But it was necessary for four of these juniors to quit when after school jobs interfered, leaving the squad with only two members. So during the winter months, another try-out was held, and eight spirited seniors were chosen to cheer with the remaining two junior co-captains, Theresa Howell and Kim Holly. “We love those Raiders, deep down in our hearts.” During the homecoming game against Forest Glen, the Suffolk Raiders try any and every way to stop the Rangers.

The Jogging Club was started to enable those who were fleet of feet but had busy schedules to get some exercise. The club was also a source of prospects for the track team. The Basketball Club, sponsored by Miss Nancy Richey, was organized to give basketball fans, who were not on the team, a chance to take to the court. Membership was limited to twenty participants permitting four teams and inter-club play.

These organizations met before or after school or at night to allow the members to participate in other clubs. The Coed-Hi-Y was one such club under the sponsorship of Mrs. Lena Small. The club s purpose was to promote the ideas of Christian Living. Its activities included plans to bring Phoenix, a gospel-rock group to play at an assembly. The Peer Facilitators was another service club. Guidance counselor, Mrs. Fran Alwood, sponsored this group after its brief dormancy last year. Students involved in this club progressed through a twenty week training program to familiarize them with techniques in relating to their peers. Then each member took on a project such as tutoring students or being aides to the elementary teachers at Thomas Jefferson School. The Student Cooperative Association, under president Scott Long, worked all year to promote and enrich school life. The SCA was more active this year than in a number of years. Members joined with the PTA and planned a successful Spring Fair. The Interact Club began its first full year as a city-wide club with Brad Bradshaw as the president and Mr. Robert W. Baker as the club s sponsor. Students from the five area high schools met twice a month for meetings, and the club participated in events with the Suffolk Rotary Club such as a Rotary Club-Interact Club basketball game.

Don’t hold that ball!” Practices for the girls’ basketball team were rough and Coach Nancy Richey schooled her players hard. But all of their efforts were well worth the trouble. There were a few close calls, but usually the girls came up on top. The team was made up primarily of a close group of juniors and seniors who had been playing together since their freshman year. This unity was visible on the court as the girls over¬ powered their opponents most every time. But the squad’s success was not only measured by the scoreboards; it was also evident in the numerous write-ups in the area newspapers. The girls enjoyed victories on the court plus the bonus of friendship off the court. Valerie Worley summed up, “Playing basketball provided me with many good experiences and valuable lessons.” Girls’ Basketball team left to right: Front Row — Beth Oliver, Janice Parker, Sharon Evans, Stephanie Walker.

SPORTS CLUBS 37 Arts in Use Artistic skills were sharpened through the Arts and Handicrafts Club, sponsored by Mrs. Joyce Wilson and Mrs. Rosella Sanders. With an artistic Jane Home as president, the organization had a very fulfilling year. Since the club had a fairly large enrollment, members tackled both individual projects and group projects. The Audio-Visual Club also had a very large enrollment this year. Under the joint direction of Miss Ann Koontz and Mr. Ken Corson, members increased their knowledge of operating the many types of visual apparatus.

Both the yearbook and the newspaper had juniors as editors because, for various reasons, no seniors wanted the jobs. The Peanut Picker ' s editor, Sherry Ruden, and Mrs. Kay Dunlap, advisor, revised the layout of the newspaper. As a result, the page size was larger and there was more room for pictures and articles. The Peanut, although reduced somewhat in pages, likewise enlarged to a university size of 9 xl2 from 7 3 4 xlO , the size of last year’s book. Freshman photographer, Frankie Barnes, supplied the book with a myriad of pictures so that the larger pages could be filled to capacity. New yearbook sponsor, Mr. James Tate, helped the staff stay in good financial shape. More good news from the Peanut Picker and the Peanut was the low price. One could still buy a copy of the newspaper for only a quarter, and the yearbook’s price was lowered from fifteen to twelve dollars. With the editors getting so much experience, next year’s publications promise to be even greater. Peanut Picker left to right: Front Row — Wendy Beale, Sherry Ruden, Editor; Kim Holly.

Captions and identifications are in 8 point Times Roman. Headlines were company set in 30 point Times Roman. Senior portraits and underclassmen photographs were taken by Mr. Jim Knox for Vacaro Studios, a division of Delmar. Photo credits for pictures taken to supplement those taken by staff members go to the Suffolk News Herald, the Suffolk Sun, the Peanut Picker, Mr. Jim Knox, and Mr. Pat Ward. The Peanut staff would like to thank Mrs. Debbie Scott for getting the staff started and for providing the staff with the experience needed to produce this book.

As a result of Coach Mac Carroll taking over the varsity team. Coach Andrew Littlejohn became the leader of the ever improving younger squad. The boys spent the season polishing their skills on the court. The experience helped them to grow physically and mentally. In addition to this and the rather impressive record, the team provided hopeful prospects for next year ' s varsity team.

During a typical time out scene, Coach Andrew Littlejohn proposes some new strategy to bring the Raiders another win. Red Raider Melvin Jones blocks a Forest Glen player as Leon Artis eyes the basket. Although the Rangers are demanding that Raider Rodney Strothers give up the ball, he doesn ' t surrender it until after the basket. SPORTS CLUBS 41 MR.

New coaches, experienced players, and new talent brought many victories and excitement to the spring sport ' s teams. New uniforms completed the new” look for the athletes. Both tennis teams, as always, saw victories their entire season. Coach Mac Carroll continued to guide his team to perfection with six returning players. New girls ' tennis coach, Debbie Strole, carried on where Coach Sally Butler left off last year. Although a few top seeds graduated last year, lower seeded players moved up and helped lead the girls to many wins. The golf team, newly coached by James Tate, had one of its best seasons in the past few years. Returning players Wally Cutchins and Len Lilley took the team to success.

Both the girls ' and the boys ' teams had a number of talented members, and track meets proved to be very exciting. New track sweat suits and uniforms gave everyone the feeling of unity. The softball and baseball teams were also successful under old and new coaches. Returning softball coach, Nancy Richey, used old and yount talent to the team ' s advantage and made many fine showings in the district. New baseball coach, Ken Corson, tried to rebuild the baseball team, although a few of the new players were seniors. At the beginning of the season, it looked as though it was going to be a long season for the team, but playing experience proved to be fortunate for the boys.

Every¬ thing from the basics of food and clothing to extras like travel ser¬ vices and real estate were available in the Suffolk area. And thanks to these local businesses, this volume of The Peanut could be produced. 44 ADVERTISEMENTS DIVIDER SPECIAL CONTRIBUTORS ALLIE O. BAKER MAMIE O. BASLER WILLIAM T. BELL WILLIAM L.

Although this is the sixtieth volume of the yearbook, and the class of 1982 was the sixtieth graduating class, most students, teachers, and alumni reflected on the school as if it were only having its golden anniversary. Many thought that pride and spirit had a special meaning during school events of the 1981-82 school year. Participation was an all time high — new clubs flourished, and old clubs had a rebirth. The Red Raiders enjoyed more victories than in the past years in all sports, particularly in football and varsity basketball.
