VIOLET BATKINS
“A gentle maid of rural breeding,
By nature first and then by read-
ing.”
Violet is our Latin and French
shark. Unselfishness characterizes
her. With her cheery smile and
accommodating manner she has
won a host of friends.

WILLIAM R. BAILEY, JR.
“If I cannot do great things,
I can do small things in a great
way.”
Hail to our most versatile man!
Bill has taken part in so many
activities and has won so many
honors that he has been voted the
most popular boy in school. All
during his four years here he has
held some responsible positions and
has acquitted himself well. His
good looks and friendly manner
have won a place for 'him in the
hearts of all his class mates.

KENNETH BOSWELL
SUE BRADENHAM

“He hath an expression of sleep
upon his brow.”
If you are looking for an easy-
going, friendly sort of person who
is always ready for fun, yet is re-
liable when serious moments arise,
here he is. Nothing seems to
worry him—not even his numerous
girls. But—you know the old say-
ing—“They all flop sooner or
later.”

Sue is our fair-haired, blue-eyed
lass. She has not only a charm-
ing personaltiy, but also unusual
student qualifications. She
serious, gay, dependable,
thorough in her many duties.
every sense she is an ideal senior.
“She does the little kindnesses
which most people leave un-
done.”
VIRGINIA DAVIS

WILLIAM WINFRED
RICHARDSON, JR.
“If he will, he will, and you
depend on it,
If he won’t, he won’t, and that is
the end of it.”

William is one of the old relia-
bles of the class. He has taken an
active part in many school activi-
ties and has worked well. He is
also one of those students who has
always had well prepared lessons,
but was willing to lend a helpful
hand to .class mates less fortunate.
He usually has fine opinions, and
is never afraid to express them.
“A friend to those who need a
friend,
A pal to make things go.”
We can’t imagine Virginia with-
out her talkativeness, but many a
dull moment is brightened by list-
ening to her. Her sweetness of dis-
position and unselfishness have
made her a real pal and class mate.

CECIL WALL

“As brim full of mischief and grit
and glee
As ever a human frame can be.”

Cecil is a mixture of mischievous
fun, foolishness, and a light vain
of seriousness. Whether it was in
dramatics, athletics, literary, so-
ciety, or social functions, Cecil al-
ways took a prominent part. With
her dependability and willingness,
she has won her way into the
hearts of us all.
KATHERINE TURNER
“Neither too careless, nor too sad;
Neither too studious, nor too
glad,”
Whenever Katherine comes into
our midst, we are conscious of her
poise and quiet dignity, and with
her amible disposition she radiates
happiness and fun. Katherine is
conscientious and capable, and ac-
complishes every thing that she
sets out to do, because she pos-
sesses a deep strength of character
and great determination.

PARISH WALLS
“A face that speaks all gentle
thoughts,
A voice that is kind and low.”
A sunny disposition coupled with
mischievous eyes typifies Parish.
We know her to be fun loving, yet
sincere; jolly, yet serious when the
occasion demands. Much of the
secret of her contentment lies in
the fact that she has spent much
of her time making friends and
being a friend to others.

faculty we leave hearts full of
through many troublesome times.
With four years of good fellowship, in which we have all shared in
care-free companionship, we have naturally formed traits and habits which
are peculiar and individual. There are people and standards which we
love and cherish, and it is with a heart full of love and regret that we give
up our old life, but as Tennyson says, “The old order changeth yielding
to the new.” With this in mind, as we make our debut in the ever sur-
prising future, the Class of June 1935, both collectively and individually,
would leave those things peculiar to us to those who follow along the
path which we have trodden, in the hope that they may be used to the
best advantage and held in memory of those who have gone before.
FIFTH—To the New Kent High School, as alumni, we pledge our
individual support to all your future activities, and we will pledge our-
selves to continue to uphold the standards and ideals for which you stand.

“Yes, yes!’’ I exclaimed. I sat down in the chair; the professor
turned a switch, and a glaring light blinded me. I closed my eyes. When
I opened them, off through the lens, I could see a large city. People
thronged the pavements below; airplanes circled overhead; skyscrapers
loomed every where. As I gazed, I saw an airplane swoop down and
park on the roof of one of the tall buildings. Out stepped Parish Walls,
a daring young aviatrix. She hastened into the apartment house. An
elevator whisked her down to the thirteenth floor.
She knocked lightly at a door and a butler let her in. She
into a spacious drawing room. There sat Sue Bradenham, now
Cartier De St. John. She had marreid a big oil millionaire.
This picture gradually faded away. The next picture I saw was that
of a large hospital. In the operating room was that important senior—
Bill Bailey. He was a great Surgeon. Helping him was that resourceful
young lady—Cecil Wall.
The hospital faded away and a small, exclusive shop appeared. Above
the door was the sign—“Turner’s Dress Shop.” In the window were the
latest models. Katherine Turner had become a great designer. Her
shop was in Paris, the center of the fashion world.
The scene again shifted, a large newspaper building loomed up. In-
side was the editor with a shade over his eyes, his shirt sleeves rolled up
and a pencil over his ear. It was Kenneth Boswell! Helping him, as
general “ad” solicitor was Virginia Davis.
The newspaper office was gone, now I saw the interior of an immense
courtroom. A great case was going on. Who was that lawyer
earnestly? Yes, it was my classmate William Richardson.
The next was a country scene. Out in a country high school I saw
Violet Batkins expounding the rule for the formation of the past indefinite.
The scene faded away. I gratefully thanked the kind old professor.
thoroughly satisfied with what I had seen.
Class ''Poem
When the school’s last lesson is mastered,
And the classes are tested and tried;
When the stupidest student has vanished,
And the dullest has stepped aside;
We shall rest—and, faith, we all need it!
We shall rest for a moment or two,
Till the wonderful School of Experience
Shall set us to work anew!
Then those who have gone shall be happy;
They shall pass through life’s higher grade;
They shall face the world’s difficult problems
With countenance unafraid;
They shall pass through each test as they meet it.
At the sounding of duty’s stern call;
They shall work every day—when they have to—
And never be tired at all!
And only the big world shall praise us,
And only the big world shall blame,
Though we work for the joy of the winning,
And climb up the pathway of fame;
For each in his separate calling,
His separate thought must express,
As he follows the gleam as he sees it
To the goal that to him means success.

The 1934 baseball team which won five out of nine trials and scored
80 runs against the opponents 54 is being succeeded this year by a snappy
fielding and hitting combination which has no apology to make to any of
our former teams. The present team lost all of its regular pitchers and
catchers, and these are the only departments which the team has to worry
about, although McKay with his smashing victories of 20-9 over Toano,
and 14-9 over Morrison, which is a class B school, gives the 1935 team
much confidence.

Boy’s Basketball
The New Kent basketball team had a most successful season, having
won five games in eight attempts. In all of the games in class C com-
petition New Kent won by large majorities, defeating West Point, Cen-
tral, and Toano by especially decisive scores. The encounters with the
class B schools, Matthew Whaley and Smith-Deal Massey Business Col-
lege, were likewise successful considering their superior rating.

The girls have been playing competitive basketball for five seasons
and have had many trials and tribulations. This season promised to be
the most successful one that they have had, but due to their lateness in
scheduling games only three were played.
However, the girls do not feel discouraged, and since the team is now
in good condition and only one player is to be lost next year, they are
looking forward to an exciting season in ’36.

On May 7, the eight room addition which has been in the course
of construction for the past six
months, was formally presented to
the School Board by the contractors.
This is the second advancement
that has been made in public education in New Kent between the
years 1930-35. Five years ago the
original building was dedicated
with much pomp and show. No
one present realized that in a very
short time he would again have
the opportunity to attend another
public school dedication on the
same spot. However, with an ever
increasing demand for free education, and a large number of pupils
in attendance, it became obligatory
to provide more room if the high
standard of education in New Kent
was to be upheld. Therefore, the
citizens, with characteristic resourcefulness and energy, carried
through a program calling for in-
creased educational facilities.
The program was opened by
Superintendent Clarence Jennings,
who paved the way for the other
speakers by explaining in a few
words the purpose of the dedication program.
The main address was delivered
by Dr. Sidney B. Hall, the Super-
intendent of Public Instruction in

A drive way was built
in the front of the school and
chains through posts were put
around the lawn.
About the same time, a flag pole
was set up and a flag has been
flown ever since.
As many of the county people
felt that undernourished children
should be given free cocoa, a cafe-
teria was erected in which to pre-
pare it. The cafeteria has also
been used to prepare food for the
various classes to sell in order to
make a little extra money.
In 1932, beautiful draperies for
the stage were bought. In order
to finance this venture, advertisers
of the county had their ads on one
of the curtains. This has added a
great deal to the appearance of
the interior of our school and has
been appreciated very much.
At first our library was very
small—in fact, it contained only
books brought from the other
schools in the county. A book social was held and citizens of New

The New Kent High School 4-H
Club has made rapid progress during the past year. The members
have taken unusual interest in the
corn, garden, pig, flower, forestry,
and poultry clubs.
Programs are held on the third
Wednesday in every month.
The annual picnic will be held
the sixth of June at Lake Ely.
The officers of the club are:

The Seniors had kept a secret
under their hats for almost two
months—yes, really.
Eut on May 10, the Senior Sur-
prise was sprung. Back to their
short dresses and rompers—they
were little tots once again. With
their bow ribbons and lolly pops
they looked like kindergardners.
After the regular business meeting of the Pamunkey Literary Society was completed, the program
was turned over to these little
“Kiddies.”
The opening number of the pro-
gram was “The Three Little Piggies.” Next followed the dramatization of “Little Sally Ann.”
One of the cutest of the children, Sue Bradenham, had a chance
to air her feelings and tell the
teachers just what she thought of
them.
Each Senior recited a nursery
rhyme—that is, all except Parish
Walls, who forgot hers, and broke
into a fit of uncontrolled emotion.
Cecil Walls, by her Last Will and
Testament, had a chance to will
her cherished possessions while
still alive.
Perhaps the Seniors expected
beautiful gifts, but because they
were such little tots, and because
Katherine was so small and inexperienced in the art of buying,

One hazy September morning in
1930 great excitement stirred the
air. The new eight room school
building, recently completed, was
the scene of much commotion. The
late-sleeping residents around New
Kent Court House were aroused
by the noise of children screaming
and yelling. It was the first school
day in New Kent High School.
Since that first morning when
so many children first came to
New Kent High School, many improvements have been made. From
a building amid weeds and wild
grass, there has developed a much
larger building with beautiful
grounds surrounding it.
However, this growth has not
taken over night for no “Rome can
be built in a day.” It has taken
five years of untiring energy to
accomplish so much.
Soon after the building
completed, the grounds
ploughed and grass seeds
planted. A drive way

only those little trifles so dear to
the hearts of children, were given
to them. Bill received a mirror.
He is really a handsome little lad,
so the daily use of the mirror
should help him to keep those good
looks.
To our dear little Sue was given
a stick of candy, not because she
likes candy especially, but because
the giftorian wanted to give her
something to match her sweetness.
Parish received a set of books
to build the “dream house” that
we have heard so much about.
A sporty little red roadster was
given to cute little Cecil. When
she out-grows her kiddie car, she’ll
have something to take its place.
Kenneth has had a weakness for
girls since his “goo-goo” days, so
to Kenneth was given a cardboard
brunette. Perhaps when he grows
up he’ll prefer blondes, but we can’t
be responsible for the whims of
males.
William was given a lock of
blond hair tied with a pretty bow
of blue ribbon. Perhaps it was his
own when he was a mere babe in
arms—Perhaps.
Have you ever heard of a wee
tot who just loves sandwiches—
real he-man sandwiches I mean ?
Well, the giftorian held out a
tuna fish sandwich, and one
those kiddies just rushed for it.
Who? Our shy little Virginia.
Speaking of a shy person, the
giftorian had a time finding some-
thing for our shy little “bunch of
Violets” Batkins. The little dear
is so timid, cunning and bashful
that something had to be found
that would please her and attract
the attention of her little school-
. And was her gift attrac-
In its way—yes. It was a
dainty bunch of onions.

childish strains of “On the Good
Ship Lollypop.”
was also enlarged to heat the new
rooms.
To protect all of these improvements from fire, fire-extinguishers
have been provided.
Very recently, the baseball nine
played their first game on their
new diamond. It is situated be-
hind the school, with the home
plate near the woods. Too, the
new bleachers make the baseball
fans more comfortable.
As the old song books were tattered and torn, new ones have
been bought. There is no excuse
why the students can’t sing now.
Last, but not least, is our new
secretary. Heretofore, the students
have had to do their own typing,
but now New Kent has a secretary.
The good old days of harumscarum typewriting are gone.
Now one may see that this school
has been greatly improved since
its erection, but there is still room
for improvement in the future.
(Continued from Page 1)
Kent County donated books. Other
books have been bought by the
various classes. At the present
time our library contains 1,700
volumes.
To provide space for these books,
the bookcases were increased to
double their size. Now there is
plenty of room for books as well
as magazines that have been
donated by interested patrons.
At first, there were only long
tables bearing the marks of long
usage, in the library. Later they
were painted. Now they have been
replaced by six lovely library
tables which are very convenient.
One of the improvements of the
interior of the building has been
the hanging of window shades in
the rooms. These keep out the
sun and add to the attractiveness
of the rooms.
In 1934, the Senior Class left
forty dollars with which to buy
shrubbery. The shrubbery con-
tributes much to the beauty of
the building, but the flowers plant-
ed along the highway by the fifth
graders play their part in the beautification of our school.
It was evident from the first
year that the building was too
small, so in 1935, eight more rooms
were added. The new space enables each teacher to have a home
room. Now the Juniors and Seniors
have a comfortable home room
with modern desks. Mr. Cox has
an office separated from the
library.
With the addition of eight new
rooms, there is no class room on
the stage, and now the entire stage
can be used for programs and prac-
tice for programs.
The Juniors and Seniors aren’t
the only ones who have new desks.
The first and second grades rule
supreme amidst their new furniture.
Even the old laboratory can
boast of the new chemistry equipment, which has been of great
benefit to the science classes.
At the same time the building
was enlarged, the heating system
Virginia. Dr. Hall had chosen a
subject very near to the hearts of
his young audience—“The Rights
of Children.”
In developing his topic he dis-
cussed three main factors:
A child has the right to be
born well.
A child has the right to ba
reared well.
3. A child has the right to have
a good education.
Other interesting talks were
made by J. A. Anderson, State
P.W.A. Engineer; Raymond V.
Long, State Architect, and C. E.
Nuckols, Contractor.
The building was formally received by Mr. E. E. Harrison, a
member of the New Kent School
Board.
Mr. W. J. Cox, principal, ex-
pressed in a few words his appreciation of the splendid cooperation
shown by the pupils and teachers
during the construction of the
building.
The program ended with the
singing of the school song.

New Kent desired something dif-
ferent this year, so the court was
enlarged to contain twenty girls.
For the first time the royal queen
marched under lovely flower chains
and ascended a flower bedecked
throne.
After a short speech of welcome
to her humble courtiers, she sat on
her throne and watched with royal
dignity the entertainment provided
by the children of her kingdom.
At the conclusion of the fete,
health certificates were presented
to all five-pointers.
As the years go by and N. K.
H. S. grows larger, both in numbers and in spirit, it is natural that
it should grow materially, i

Those Alumnae who visit Alma
Mater this Commencement will be
impressed by the numerous improvements and wonderful growth
of our beloved school. The student
body has enlarged greatly. Attractive flowers and shrubs now adorn
many places that were formerly
bare and unattractive.
The most positive proof of our
growth is visible in the form of
the new addition to our school.
The “Cavalier” notices too that the
improvements are not only out-
standing in the more commercial
interests, but also in the spirit and
cooperation of the student body
and faculty. We prophecy that
next year will be the richest and
fullest in the history of N. K. H. S.
the cry
or, in
“The ’ayes’ have it, so we will
start immediately to work. Now
I want each and every one of you
to try, really work as you never
have, for we must not, and cannot,
start this and let it go under. As
you have already decided to have
competition, I think it a wise plan
for the boys to try against the
girls. This will make the contestants more enthusiastic.”
So it was decided on a March
morning that a strict competition
between the boys and girls in high
school would begin. The aim was
to see which side could and would
raise the most money for this
Annual.
The 15th of April was set as a
finishing date. The losers were to
plan>a big banquet for the winners.
Twenty days to race, twenty days
filled with enthusiasm!
“Whose ahead?” rose
everywhere, no one knew,
fact, no one would tell.
The girls, feeling that the boys
had them beat, really planned for
the loser’s penalty.
Monday, April 15, arrived. No
one knew the results. The girls
knew how much money they had,
and they were keeping it a secret.
The boys were doing the same.
When the final check-up came,
the boys begged for more time.
This startled the girls. Did they
really have as much as the boys,
or were the boys just trying to
show them up?
After much discussion it was decided that the 15th was the dead-
line, and that no quarter would be
given.
The girls kept quiet, hating to
hear the results, feeling shamed
after much hard work—but—what
a shock!
“The girls have tripled the
amount that they were supposed
to have raised.”
And the boys—where are they?
Again a shock! “The boys are still
in the first lap of the race. They
are so far behind that they don’t
even know that the race is over.”
What a gay occasion! We will
have to give the big bluffers one
thing—they certainly had us fooled.
Five times has Mother Nature
bedecked herself for the most
glorious day in the spring—May
first—since New Kent has been
operating. And five times has
New Kent chosen the most beautiful maidens within her realms to
represent her on this gay occasion.
In 1931, when New Kent celebrated its first May festival, Miss
Evelyn Walls was chosen to reign
supreme on May 1. The grades undertook to entertain the queen with
dances, songs, and pageants, and
they have continued this custom
every year.
In 1932 and ’33 the same fair
queen, Miss Myrtle Hughes, held
court on May 1.
In 1934, there were
lovely maidens from

With the arrival of May 1, 1935,

New Kent High School took a
big step upward in the oratorical
world April 25, when Tyree Mount-
castle, our representative to the
Virginia Literary League, won sec-
ond place in the oratorical contest.
The contest was held at William
and Mary College. Representatives
from all of Tidewater Virginia
participated.
The organization at New Kent
High School that has been the most
successful, and the one from which
the pupils have derived the great-
est benefits, is the Pamunkey Lit-
erary Society which was organized
in 1930.
The pupils have realized from
the very beginning that the suc-
cess of the society depended on
their willingness to cooperate, and
splendid programs have been given
twice a month by them.
Many people do not realize the
real value of this society. Some
have the impression that it is an
extra - curricular activity that
draws the student from work. This
idea is entirely erroneous, however.
The Pamunkey Literary Society
is just as important to the pupils
development as any class that the
pupil may take. It developes the
talents that are latent in a child
that perhaps even he is not conscious of possessing. It teaches
him to speak in public and to think
quickly and coherently on a given
subject at a moment’s notice. He
is given a chance to hold offices,
and he learns how a meeting
should be conducted correctly. All
of these things train him for the
time when he has to take his" place
in the world of work, and make
him a better citizen by sending him
out equipped to cope with problems
as he shall meet them.
The Society also bears expenses
of those who enter contests at Williamsburg sponsored by the Virginia Literary and Athletic League.
In order to encourage students
who serve on programs, three
points are added to the English
grade of those who do well.
A year ago there was a surplus
in the treasury of the Society. By
popular vote the students decided
to have a big “blow-out.” The af-
fair was such a success, that Mr.
Cox decided that the society could
sponsor a similar entertainment
every three years.

enjoyable afternoon
were . taken to the
Restaurant to dinner.
Judging from the laughter that
rang across the table, the dinner
must have been enjoyed by every-
one.
To “top off” the affair, the
Juniors and Seniors went to the
Loew’s theatre to see Al Jolson and
Ruby Keeler play in “Go Into Your
Dance.”
Tired, but happy, the Seniors and
Juniors returned home to dream of
the wonderful time they had.
“To be, or not to be—that
the question.”
In 1931 New Kent had its first
school paper, the “Odds and Ends.”
This paper, though small, and not
the best that a school the size of
New Kent could wish for, held its
own for three years.
“Cowards die many times before
their death, but the valiant taste
of death but once.” It seemed as
if this paper had seen its best
days when school closed in June
’34. The Senior Class of that year
had not upheld the standards of
this “Odds and Ends” as it should.
There had not been a particular
time set aside for work on this
paper, so slowly but surely “Odds
and Ends” was dying.
With the death, however, there
was a rebirth. When the new term
’34 and ’35 began, New Kent saw
a new paper, a new staff, a new
director and even a new name—the
“Cavalier.”
The new paper steadily improved
through the year, and the eighth
and last issue finally went to the
press. The ninth issue grew into
this—our school Annual.
And now “To be, or not to be
—it is not the question,” any
longer. We have reached the conclusion—and a noble conclusion it
is—To be—yes—to be the best in
the land.
Something of this nature happened to the Junior-Senior reception. Plans for a big, glorious
reception were flourishing beautifully, but the north wind came and
killed them. Of course it was too
cold to go to Buckroe on May 10th,
so the dreams of a sunshiny week-
end on the beach were shattered.
However, all hopes were not
killed, and a delightful afternoon
in Richmond was planned. The
Juniors and Seniors left school at
2:30 with high hopes. As soon as
they arrived in Richmond, the Seniors were escorted to the National
theatre to see “The Devil is a
Woman.”
After an
