LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT In the name of the County School Board, oh me! This, the ninth day of June, 1961, we, the Senior class of New Kent, being in weak state of health but of perfect minds, or vice-versa, thanks be to the faculty, and calling to mind the amazed uncertainty of grades that it is, nevertheless, appointed all mankind to be graduated after twelve years of school, do make this our last will and testament in typing as follows: James Christian leaves his ability to catch flies in History class to whoever can; and his love for that dear old 12th grade history to Frances Craft. Patricia Couch leaves her love for shorthand to Peggy Dean; and her position as catcher in softball to anyone who likes to be hit on the head. Judith Dean leaves her old Annual dummy and all her headaches over trying to produce a successful Cavalier to Barbara Williams; and her love for Barhamsville to Joan Combs. Wanda Dzula leaves her wit and her memories of Williamsburg to Walter Dzula. Gerald Ellyson leaves his love for nature, especially birds, to everyone. Mary Ellen Ellyson leaves her love for basketball and softball to Caroll Lee Stuck; and her love for French to Joyce Martin.

Carl Handley leaves his baby talk to Jeffrey Richmond; and his ability to be hit on the head with a football to Edmund Turner.

Upon arriving at school in September, 1949, to enter the first grade, we were all met at the door by our teacher Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Cornelia Perry was substitute teacher part of the year. Nine pupils of that class are being graduated in June. They are James Christian, Patricia Couch, Judith Dean, Gerald Ellyson, Mary Ellen Ellyson, Carl Handley, James Pearman, Glenn Priddy, and Betty Walls. We tem¬ porarily lost Joyce Staskiel and Wanda Dzula. In the second grade with Mrs. Mary Anthony as our teacher, we had our first trip as a class. In the spring we went to Richmond on a sight seeing tour. We arrived in Richmond by train from Williamsburg. Charlotte Wooten had joined our group in November. In the third grade, Mrs. Cecil Orange was our teacher. We took our second trip, this time to Yorktown. Jack King had joined our class that fall. Miss Mary Christian was our teacher in the fourth grade. We learned our multiplication tables. While we were in this grade David Frank joined us. Waiting for us in the fifth grade in 1953 was Mrs. Edgar Upp. She was the first teacher under whom we had those horrid examinations. In the May Day our class danced the Square Dance. In the sixth grade we were under Mrs. Gertude Robbins direction. Wanda Dzula rejoined our class. Mrs. Hugh Fisher was our teacher in the seventh grade. One early spring morning, Mrs. Fisher took us on an educational trip to Richmond, capitol of our commonwealth. We were guided throughout the Capitol Building where the General Assembly was in session. Across from
