For details on the 55th reunion, click on What's New (left column)

Welcome to the Web site of the Newport News High School Class of 1955. We posted this Web site as a start for our fiftieth reunion in 2005, and we are maintaining it to publish photos supplied by class members and to keep everyone informed of current and future activities planned by the reunion committee.

In 2007 the committee elected Kiddy Dickens Starboard to be its new chairperson.  Kiddy has taken the reigns and the committee has had two meetings to discuss possible future events.  Kiddy and the committee has issued an invitation to all class members (email and postal notification to all class members for which we have a correct address) to join in the mostly fun and little business get-togethers of the committee.  The first get-together is scheduled for June 7, 2007.  To see a copy of the notification, the schedule details, and photos, click on the What's New? or Monthly Meeting buttons on the left.

Since this site is still on the Web, we will continue to use it to find missing classmates. No doubt many other alumni of Newport News High School will visit this site and have some kind of connection with those class members we haven’t been able to find. We hope so. Please take the time to review our Missing Classmates (button on the left) list to see if you have a clue as to their whereabouts. If you have some knowledge you think might aid us, send us an e-mail.

All of the gateway pages on the Web site are listed on the left under Web Site Features, and you can navigate to them by simply clicking your mouse on the place you want to go. Once you get there, you might find that there are multiple layers of information associated with that gateway page, but getting to these lower levels will always be apparent through buttons or highlighted hyperlinks you can click on. Every page and sub-page, no matter how deep, has a button at the bottom that will take you back to this home page, so you shouldn’t get lost.

The addresses of all classmates can be found by clicking on the Addresses item in the index. We have provided only the addresses in an effort to have some measure of privacy on a site available to anyone in the world with a computer. If you are a classmate, send us an e-mail or letter requesting e-mail addresses of all classmates that have given us permission, and we will send you one. If you are not a classmate and wish a specific e-mail address, send us your address and we will pass it on to the classmate you are seeking to contact.

To contact the Web site staff for any reason, click on the Contact Us button on the left. You will find a complete set of instructions for how to do it.

Meanwhile, explore—and have fun.
