Millboro, Virginia January 15, 1958 D[ ll Hi Dear Ann, I ' ll just have to write you about my visit with the members of our Class of 1953 . I knew it would be lots of fun to take a tour and visit with each one. I planned this after visiting you in September. First, I went to Millboro to see Georga Lee. She teaches Science there in school and I had the privilege of sitting in on one of her classes. Believe it or not, she really had a quiet class of students. Frankie is teaching music at Central High School near Clifton Forge. She is engaged and plans to be married in June. While in Clifton Forge, I went to Kostel ' s Restaurant to eat, and dur¬ ing the time I was there, Betty came in. Betty works at Grand Central Station in New York, but was home on vacation. I was very surprised to find Edgar as Manager of the Men ' s Depart¬ ment at Sears Roebuck ' s Store in Roanoke. He has been working there since he graduated from school. I stopped in Sumter, S. C. , for the night at a lovely tourist court. What a surprise it was to find Peggy in the manager ' s office. I knew she lived in Sumter, but I did not know at the time that she and her husband owned this tourist court. From there I went to Tampa, Florida, to see Maxine. She is secre¬ tary at a department store where her husband is manager. I went to Key West to visit Martha Jane. She works in a telegraph office there in the winter, but goes to New York in the summer to work. How nice to go to a warm climate in the winter ! Coming back through Georgia, I stopped at Fort Benning to see Wil¬ ton. He joined the Paratroopers in July after finishing school. Tom is in the Air Force and stationed at Macon, Georgia. He was glad to see me, but what hurt was that I caught him driving a Ford truck. You know his opinion of Fords! I went on to Richmond, where I was to visit Caroline. She is em¬ ployed at the telephone company as secretary, is married, and has two sweet little girls. Evangeline lives in Staunton and works in the office at Montgomery Ward. I told her about your job at the gas company in Washington, D.C. , and how you enjoyed working there. While I was eating in a restaurant in Staunton, Dorothy walked in. She took me up to her cozy little apartment for a few minutes ' visit. Boy, was Dorothy dressed! No wonder she works at the Carol House. It was wonderful seeing all our classmates. I enjoyed my tour a lot. You must try it sometime. Love, Lucille

ciAss Hisroiiv Memories crowd upon us as we struggle to record our history of activities and events through twelve years of school life at Millboro School. It has been a long and tedious journey, but a very satisfactory one. We have been taught and guided through the years by wise and educated teachers, and our association together has enriched and streng¬ thened every memory. In the fall of 1940, thirty-six very young pupils enrolled with Miss Haynes for our first taste of school life. Looking back now, we can remember how strange the new environment seemed to us, going out for the first time into the wide world. The years passed swiftly, and before we hardly became aware of it, the time had come for us to enroll (in the fall of 1948) in the longed-for readm of high school. By now there were only twenty-two pupils. Many of the original classmates had left us, and several new pupils from Williamsville and Burnsville had entered our class. Mr. Norman Demick was our home room teacher that year in the eighth grade. September 7, 1949, marked our arrival as Freshmen. We were adjusted to class schedules by our eighth grade experience, and were soon in the swing of real high school life. Mr. George F. Bagby was Principal this year, and Mr. Edwin E. Will was Superintendent of Schools. Our class officers for this year were: President, Caroline Deeds; Vice President, Peggy Conner; Se¬ cretary, Tommy Hinebough; and Treasurer, Frankie Wood. On September 6, 1950, we entered Miss Parks ' room as sophisticated Sophomores. Class officers this year were: President, Georga Lee McCray; Vice President, Maxine Law; Secretary, Martha Jane Jol¬ ly; and Treasurer, Donald Porter. We were one step nearer the goal when, on September 6, 1951, fourteen of us became at last upper classmen, as Juniors. Officers this year were: President, Frankie Wood; Vice President, Edgar Brown; Secretary, Maxine Law; and Treasurer, Wilton Brinkley. Mr. Grant Rush succeeded Mr. Bagby the year we were Juniors, and remained Principal to see us through our remaining year. September 4, 1952, was a memorable day for us. We had reached our desired goal at last. We were the dignified Seniors. There were only thirteen of us, and many things confronted us for completion. Lucille Rhea had entered our class for our last year, and Mr. Skinner was our home room teacher. Our officers for this year are: President, Peggy Doyle; Vice President, Dorothy Roberts; Secretary, Betty Watts; and Treasurer, Lucille Rhea. Now that we ' ve completed our twelve years of school, we graduate with the hope and determination of finding a bright and successful future. [AST Will AND lIShMIKl the Senior Class of Millboro High, in the year 1953, being of sound mind and body, do hereby will and beqnea the following: To our teachers and parents we wish to express our thanks for helping us reach the point in our lives where we now are.
