CLASS HISTORY One bright sunny morning forty red eyed boys and girls were gathered in the First Grade room of New Kent High School. Miss Phipps welcomed this group. As we lookbackon it. . . now, it was . . . . really a soft year, since we we rebellowed to rest our heads on the desks during the day. We all survived our first year and went back as second grader Here Miss Jarvis was our teacher . She well prepared us for the third grade and happily sent us to Mrs. Perry. In the fourth grade we gained Billy Chapman and here we learn ed that “we must not talk in class” from Mrs. Christian. Upon entering the fifth grade, we discovered the secrets of arithmetic fractions. With Mrs, Waldrop, we took a successful trip of Williamsburg and during this year Ralph Randolph was add¬ ed to our enrollment. The sixth year brought Fred Burnette and more homework was given to us by Mrs. Brightwell. Mrs. Potts taught us as grown-up seventh graders. Here was added lipstick and powder and well combed hair. Now we were rulers of the grade school. In the eight grade we gained Wilford Throckmorton. The grade was like a story with a surprise ending. The surprise was that we were all promoted to high school. Mrs. Perry was our teacher and our entire class will always remember how she taught. In September 1949, twenty-four freshmen discovered that we had at last reached high school. Trying as best we could to adapt ourselves to these entirely new surroundings, we proved quite a problem in Mr. Waldrop’s homeroom. To make this year more interesting, we had several picnics and parties. From the experiences of the Freshman year we overcame our timidity and learned that in high school every one cared only about himself and tried in every was to aggravate the teachers. In this sophomore year, again Mr. Waldrop had the responsibilities of being our homeroom teacher. In connection with the Batin and World History, which the students were taking, the whole soph¬ omore class went to see “Quo Vadis” and toured the Valentine Museum in Richmond. We also attended a session of the Gen¬ eral Assembly. With half of our high school days behind, Helen Parsley be¬ came a member of our class. This Junior year was filled with much excitement. Mrs. Roberts, our homeroom teacher, spon¬ sored our Junior Play “Sound Your Horn.” We attempted our first formal Jr. and Sr. Prom and banquet, which was quite suc¬ cessful. Also, the Jr. and Sr. English classes went to see the broadway musical “South Pacific.” After receiving our school rings, we realized that finally we were ready to become digni¬ fied Seniors. Now as Seniors, we look back upon our happy experiences of the past and realize with regret that our school days are a rapid¬ ly coming to an end. This has been a busy year in our attempt to pack our trip, play, yearbook, and graduation and a little studying into nine short months, but with all the work and worry, we will always remember our dear ole days at N. K. H. S. „
