What is THS? It ' s more than bricks and glass and wood and concrete. It ' s flesh and blood. It ' s a crowd of excited kids, scre am- ing, Let ' s go, Warriors. It ' s the reverence of heads bowed in prayer in Friday assem- blies. It ' s the PEOPLE. It ' s homework, outside reading, term papers, themes, math problems, and SCA elections. It ' s the absentee slips, excuses, and the principal ' s office. It ' s BOYS and GIRLS. It ' s the second string tackle wishing he could play; it ' s the band in their handsome uniforms. It ' s the biology student pouring over the microscope; it ' s the forward missing the free throw. It ' s the rushing, jostling lunch line; it ' s the making of a home-run in the last inning. It ' s decorating for the Junior-Senior Banquet; it ' s taking notes; it ' s flunking tests; it ' s a word of advice from the teacher. It ' s laughter and It ' s tears. It ' s the chemistry class concocting those weird smells on the second floor lab; it ' s the FFA boys sand- ing a cedar chest; it ' s the Home Ec girls baking a cake. It ' s the DEC A Club giving a demonstration; it ' s the typing class pounding out a speed test; it ' s the algebra pupils struggling with the binomial theorem. It ' s joy and it ' s disappointment. It ' s baccalaureate sermon and Largo and graduation night. It ' s the sudden shock that seizes a Senior when he realizes, I shall not pass this way again ... And it ' s strength -- underneath a veneer of activity -- strength of purpose in student and in teacher. It ' s more than building, more than teachers, more than students; it ' s living, breathing faith in tomorrow ' s promise. This is THS. 5

EDITOR’S NOTE This year the annual staff has tried to prepare for you the biggest and best TAPORAPIAN of all time. Having worked diligently to make this book possible, the staff hopes that the wide collection of pictures and reports will bring fond memories of the delightful school days in 1962-63. VVe have given special attention to the Seniors, to our faculty and school staff workers, to organizational and extracurricular activities, and to the teams, clubs, and students who won honors for our Alma Mater this year. As editor of the ' 63 TAPORAPIAN, 1 would like to express my gratitude to many people who have helped me, and made this annual possible. Without the group of earnest, industrious staff workers, this yearbook could never have met its goals, deadlines, and completions. To the teachers I give my thanks for their cooperation of days of interrupted classes. The cooperation of ad- vertisers, and purchasers, was greatly appreciated in financing this book. I also wish to thank Mr. Robertson, for his time and advice; Peggy Allen, Mr. Novak, and Mrs. DeShazo for their photography; and Roberta Novak, for her excellent work on the division pages. The experience and knowledge, that 1 have gained in editing the ' 63 TAPORAPIAN, are rewards that will follow me throughout my life. My only hope is that you will find this to be a book you will long cherish -- one which will make you happy, make you sad -- one which will bring you golden memories of days past.
