THE (HILIER PUBLISHED IK SENIORS IF SEW REST HIGH SCHOOL New Kent, Virginia 1955 With the passing of time, the echoes of our school life will grow fainter and fainter, and then die away. Gone forever will be the routine of school life, the fun we had, and the friends we made. It is the hope of the 1955 Cavalier Staff that, as you glance through this book in the years to come, you will recapture those moments and the echoes will begin again. We dedicate this fifth edition of the Cavalier to our beloved parents, to their untireing efforts, encourage¬ ments and enthusiasm at the times whenour zeal was gone. We are ex¬ tremely grateful for their unselfish devotion and hard work in our search for knowledge and better Citizenship.

CUSS HISTORY One bright sunny morning in September 1943, thirteen bright-eyed boys and girls of the present Senior class gathered in the first grade room of New Kent High School. Mrs. Dixon welcomed the group. We found it easy since we were allowed to rest on rugs every day. We all survived our first year c ;nd went back as second graders. Here we gained Charles Mihalcoe. Several teachers well prepared us for the third grade and happily sent us to Mrs. Perry. In the fourth grade Miss Christian taught us our multiplication tables. Upon entering the fifth grade, Mrs. Wuldrop took us on our first class trip to Williamsburg. The sixth year brought Doris Parsley, Miron Mihalcoe, and Calvin Smith to our class under Mrs. Brightwell. Mrs. Orange took us on our annual class trip to Richmond in the seventh grade. Here we gained Sherman McLaughlin, Kent Renalds, Eddie Smiley, and Drexel Crump. In the eighth grade we explored the field of science with experiments in the laboratory under Mrs. Reed. Cecil Goodman joined us. In our Freshman year under Mrs. Richmond’s leadership, we learned that in high school everyone cares about only himself and we must do all we can to aggravate the teachers. We went to Richmond and tourned Byrd Airport and WRNL Studio. Mr. Waldrop had the responsibility of being our homeroom teacher in the tenth grade. James Dinwiddie became a member of our class during the second high school year. With half of our high school days behind, the Junior year was filled with much excitement. Mr. and Mrs. Mears sponsored our Junior play House of Strangeness, which was a big success. We attempted our first formal Junior and Senior Banquet and Prom. After receiving our school rings we realized that finally we were ready to become dignified Seniors. Mr. Waldrop again was our sponsor. Now that we were at last at the goal of every school student we look back upon our happy experiences of the past and realize with regret that our school days are rapidly coming to an end. This year has been quite busy. With Mr. Alexander as our sponsor, we welcomed Eddie Watkins. To raise money we had a concession stand at the football games and presented the Senior play, Shoot the Works. The Senior class was honored with a Banquet and Prom. On our class trip we went to New York City for a week-end. Into these past nine months along with all our other ac¬ tivities we did put in a little studying. We all will always remember our dear ole days at New Kent High School and as a remembrance of us, we leave a trophy case.

Seemed like only yesterday when we were all Seniors. I have so much news to tell you, I hardly know where to begin. I must say though, I was surprised to hear that you moved to Rhode Island right after graduation. I never would have thought you would get married so soon. Do you get much news of our classmates since you moved? I got a letter from Jane Graves last week. Guess you know that she went to Mary Baldwin College and is now teaching in Maryland. She didn’t say, but I’m sure she isn’t married. Well, Inez and Charles finally got married. Charles is now First Lieutenant in the Air Force, and Inez seems to have her hands full with their six little Mihalcoes. By the way, I ran into Betty Ann Peace. Now Mrs. Betty Ann Throckmorton. She and Wilford have a large farm in Quinton and seem to be very happy with their little Throe km ortons. Guess whatl Barbara Taylor really made a name for herself. She is superintendent of Johnston Willis Hospital, and married Dr. Ross Fickle. They live in Richmond. Remember Cecil Goodman and Eddie Watkins? Well, they seem to be doing fine. Cecil is a prominent street cleaner, and in his spare time he helps Eddie, who owns a small, thriving business, tuning pianos. Well maybe Eddie Smiley did get fired from Leggetts Department Store during his high school years, but he is now manager of the largest Leggetts Store in the South. Elizabeth, you’ll never believe this, but Kent Renalds and Sherman McLaughlin have established their own scientific research building. Kent is trying to find a new way to spell cat, and Sherman is giving first aid to drowned rats. Ran into Walter Philbates in town yesterday. He went to work for the Chesapeake Corporation and is now as¬ sistant to the vice-president. Evelyn Dillard and Doris Parsley went to work for the telephone company in Richmond right after graduation. Evelyn is now executive secretary. Doris quit a few years ago and married the man of her dreams, Junior Wells. Drexel Crump married a girl from King and Queen. No it wasn ' t Jo-, well I won’t mention her name, but he did marry Ella Mae Pierce, a very cute girl. Remember how he used to say, aw shucks. Elizabeth, I must say dear ole New Kent is really growing. Remember when you and I used to say we were going to open a one-minute car wash service? Well, thats exactly what Dick Ellyson and Calvin Smith did, and I must say, they are just thriving with business. You remember Sonny Boroughs? He seems to be a pretty big wheel these days. Heard that he owns half of Barhamsville, a rapidly growing town. Bobby Mills seems to be a very successful farmer. He owns a large farm in New Kent. I heard from Shirley Mihalcoe the other day. She is a model on Arthur Godfrey ' s show for Toni. They certainly are a fake, because we all know Shirley has a natural wave. James Dinwiddie and Miron Mihalcoe seem to be big wheels these days. Jimme is now President of Dinwiddie, Dinwiddie, Dinwiddie, aqd Dinwiddie Architectural Association, and has just completed plans for a new Social Security Administration Building in New York. And guess whatl The President of the U. S. has just appointed Miron as secretary of this administration. Guess that was partly because of his long experience with Social Security. Well Bryant Kent finally married Diana, you know the girl from West Point, and he has done very well for him¬ self, a very good pediatrician they say. I imagine so, with five of his own. Elizabeth, I could go on and on but I must stop. My job calls. Yep, I got what I wanted--a job and a man, and I must say my husband ' s a very good boss. Don ' t ever let anyone tell you that you can ' t take dictation better on your boss ' s knee. Write soon.
