Yes, we ' ve given you a lot of things--most of which composed a hectic, haphazard, routine day which seemingly never came to a close. But what have you given us? F ' s for one things, along with thousands of red marks covering a theme. You ' ve given us impossible assignments to have ready in an im- possibly short time, and you ' ve given us the feeling that you just knew we ' d have it done. You ' ve prepared everyone for graduation, nearly everyone that is, with your excited Wait until you ... and your directions of Why don ' t you . . . , and you made us memorize Shakespeare and Wordsworth as if there were no Tomor- row, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Yes, Mrs. Spindle, you ' ve given us countless things. You ' ve given us self- determination, a driving force with which to plug away until we reach those long sought-after goals, and a deep feeling of satisfaction when we find favor in your sight- and thus, in outLown sight. You ' ve given us self-confidence with the feeling that maybe we are different from anyone else, and that maybe we actually can do something and will be someone. You ' ve not only guided us in grammar with the aid of those plentiful red marks, but you ' ve guided us in our lives, with the aid of your talks, shouts, and the feeling that you care. So, Mrs. Spindle, we know we can ' t give you perfect themes, or interesting speeches, or even the promise that we will all become geniuses. But we can give you our deepest appreciation, our sincerest admiration, and our genuine respect. 4 MRS. GRACE SPINDLE, SENIOR SPONSOR 5 ACTIVITIES STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM TRIPS TO WILLIAMSBURG AND RADFORD 1967 representatives discuss assembly programs and experiences. In the summer of 1967, Judy Andrews, Martha Wachsmuth, and Jennie Carpenter attended Girl ' s State at Radford College. The week before, Jeff O ' Dell, Johnny Beazley, and Henry Burruss went to Boy ' s State at William and Mary. At Girl ' s State, for the first time, a record of the Glee Club and the entire Girl ' s State was made by the Silver Crest Record Company from New York. The boys took interesting slides and used them to present an interesting assembly program to the students. All of the delegates agree that Girl ' s State and Boy ' s State cannot be defined in concrete terms. Only as a personal experience can Girl ' s State and Boy ' s State be truly inspirational. This inspiration will remain with the THS students for years to come. ga« 1 1968 candidates plan trips to Radford and Williamsburg for June. 8 School winners Nancy Davis, Peter Markham, and Nancy Parrish discuss their performances at the district meet. Two-time winners, Jeff O ' Dell and Dotty Turner, reflect on U.Va. and the glories of 1st place. FORENSICS CAPTURES 2 STATE FIRSTS As in previous years, the THS forensic team spoke, read, spelled and conquered. Representing the school for their second year were Nancy Davis, Theresa Hilton, Dotty Turner and Jeff O ' Dell. Turner and O ' Dell went to state for their second time and returned with two gold medals, in spelling and poetry respectively. New- comers Richard Taylor, Peter Markham, and Nancy P arrish added much to the team. The debate team consisting of Tommy Blackwell, Carl Thompson, John Ware and Mike Larew, being newly organized, did well to capture a second place rating during district competition. Debaters Blackwell, Thompson, Ware and Larew argue over the team ' s weak and strong values. Placing 3rd in the district, Richard T aylor and Theresa Hilton proudly review the school ' s many V.H.S.L. awards. 9 KITTY HAMMOND CROWNED Cheerleaders lead homecoming parade with banners wel- coming members of the Class of 1965 to the weekend festivities. Tappahannock High School celebrated its Fifth Annual Homecoming the weekend of November 3-4. A parade on Friday evening started off the weekend activities. The parade featured a marching band, floats, and the Homecoming princesses. Beginning at Jeanette Drive and following a route up Walter Lane onto Prince Street, the floats paused in front of the judges, Mrs. Philip Winston, Mr. Arnold Mot- ley, and Mr. Joseph Spruill. They then con- tinued to the school for dispersal. After the parade, the Warriors met West Point in the Homecoming Football game. During halftime, Mayor Clanton and Mr. Burruss welcomed the guests and alumni. The winning floats were then announced. They were: First place--Eighth grade; Second place--SCA; Third place--FHA. Finally, the long awaited crowning of the queen took place. Football captains Ed Kirk, Gouldin Tignor, and Johnny Loving crowned Miss Kitty Hammond 1967-68 Homecoming Queen. On Saturday night, students and alumni of the Class of ' 65 attended the Homecoming Ball. The theme of the dance was Yesterday with murals hung showing honors and accomplish- ments of the honored class. The Aftermath from Randolph-Macon College provided the music . 10 1967-68 HOMECOMING QUEEN T.H. S. Princesses were: Beverly Daniel, Nancy Connellee, Barbara Parr, Kitty Hammond, and Mary Clanton. Co-Captain Ed Kirk crowns Queen Kitty Hammond.

Presented with a tool kit, Sonny Burruss is really dis- mayed to find that he can no longer use his excuse of The car broke down. A new spring night, childlike, innocent, and fresh, provided the perfect setting for the dreams of the juniors, seniors, faculty 7 , and guests at the annual Jr. -Sr. Banquet. Follow- ing a warm welcome from Mr. Burruss, Carl Thompson, Junior Class President, again welcomed the honored seniors and guests. Kitty Hammond, Senior Class President, de- livered a response after which Kim Dickinson and Mary Clanton led toasts to the juniors and seniors. Following a meal of golden nectar, Vir- ginia ' s delicacy, piquant potpourri, fruit of the verdant vine, apples of the earth, cloud fluffs, sparkling amber, and ambrosial de- lights, Jeff O ' Dell, in reading the Seniors ' Last Will and Testament, proved that daisys do tell all. Laughter, surprise, embarrassment- -all were shared by the seniors as they received their silver memories from Lin Bareford and Ronnie Rose . And there were truly magic moments when Theresa Hilton and Richard Taylor presented the juniors with their rings. The mystical, whimsical night proved to be a dream long remembered. Seniors enjoy their final banquet in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere . The high- light for junior, Ronnie Rose, was DREAMS COME TRUE FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS 12 JUNIORS AND SENIORS FIND THAT LOVE IS REALLY BLUE Bugalooing with Thomas Carneal, Mrs. Hardy proves that all T.H.S. teachers aren ' t ancient. Love is Blue , and blue was the cafe- teria April 29, when T.H.S. students and their dates danced to tire music of the Mod- ern Blues Quartet. A huge mobile, a cracked heart forming an entrance, flowers, lights, tablecloths, and other decorations all in blue and silver, helped to accent the poignant theme . Here the atmosphere proved to be gentle, soft, relaxed, and moody, and the couples, transformed temporarily from impossible teenagers to positive people, combined with the surroundings to produce a beautiful effect. Couples dance to one of the slower numbers by the Modern Blues Quartet. Ed Kirk ' s happy appearance was characteristic of the prom ' s relaxed atmosphere. Mrs. Durham and Mr. Dickinson prove that students weren ' t the only ones enjoying the music . 13 ONE-ACT PLAY CAPTURES SUPERIOR STATE RATING Henry Ferry has Jeff O ' Dell in the palm of his hand. The cast of The Giant Stair poses after the first performance . Beacky Elliott expresses her part as the half- wit realistically and naturally. Although rehearsals were long and tedious, the cast of The Giant Stair came up with the only superior rating given at the district one act play festival. This superior rating enabled the cast to travel to Charlottesville, where the play again received excellent comments. The plot revolved around a murder and the suspense gripped the audience in their search for the murderer. Was it the wife of the victim, played by Dottie Turner? Was it the sheriff, played by Jeff O ' Dell, who jumped at the squeak of a door? Or was it the victim ' s deranged sister-in-law, played by Becky Elliott? The success of the play can be measured by the excellent rating received not only at the district festival but at the state festival as well . A second one act play, A Midsummer Night ' s Dream , was presented to the school and public by a group of energetic seniors. Through the produc- tion of this light and whimsical comedy, these se- niors combined profit with the enjoyment of producing a dramatic play. Members of the cast of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream exhibit elaborate costumes. 14 s M ENIORS DISPLAY ENTAL DEF CIENCIES IN “THE CURIOUS SAVAGE” A mental institute provided the off-beat environment for the senior play, The Curious Savage . The play dramatized a family where the children committed their step- mother to a mental institute because she would not hand over control of the immense Savage estate. The exciting action, com- bined with the character representation of the inmates at the institute, made this one of the most unusual plays ever presented. The cast was composed of Henry Burruss, Nancy Davis, Becky Elliott as Lilly Belle, Henry Ferry as Dr. Emment, Theresa Hilton as Miss Willie, Ed Kirk as Samuel, Alice Guerrant as Mrs. Ethel Savage, Jeff O ' Dell as Titus, Dottie Turner as Faerie Mae, Richard Taylor as Jeff, and Martha Wachs- muth. Henry Burruss displays the agility of Hannibal while Nancy Davis, as Florence, gives him none of her attention. Actions from the unspeakable Mrs. Paddy, played by Martha Wachsmuth, gain glances from members of the cast. She bit me ! Of course it hurts! The money was in that stupid teddy bear! 15 ORGANIZATIONS SCA INSTALLS COKE MACHINE, REVISES HANDBOOK S.C.A. President Jeff O ' Dell presents Mrs. Mann with a small token of appreciation for her many years of service to T.H.S. The officers and committee chairmen for the 1967- 68 Student Cooperative Association met early in August to set up the yearly objectives. The first major project was the installation of a coke machine. This machine helped the S.C.A. bud- get as well as being a relief to all of the thirsty ' THS students. On the first weekend in November, the annual Homecoming was held. This year ' s Homecoming was a tremendous success. At the White Christmas Program students contributed gifts and money for needy fami- lies in the area. This year a special committee was set up to re- vise the S.C.A. handbook. The committee worked hard to bring the present Warriors Sign up to date with information That each student needed. 18 Candidates for offices for the 1968-69 session await their turn to give a speech during the primary cam- paign.

WARRIORS’ POST REVISES ENTIRE CONTENT 22 Annual Staff members plan layouts, type copy, and arrange pictures. TAPORAPIAN STAFF STRUGGLES TO MEET DEADLINES Although senior portraits were taken as early as June, 1967, the progress of the annual staff has been greatly impeded by such problems as shortage of time, lack of space in which to work, delay in taking pictures, and early deadlines. But despite these problems the staff members, most of whom were engaged in many other extracurricular activities, managed to bring forth a new edition of the TAPORAPIAN. By gathering and con- sidering reactions to the revision of the entire layout of last year ' s annual, the staff hopes that the 1968 TAP- ORAPIAN will fulfill its major purpose of providing enjoyable, meaningful, and lasting memories of the stu- dents of THS. Editor Martha Wachsmuth explains lay-out possibility to Business Manager Nancy Davis and Asso- ciate Editor Nancy Bache while Assistant Editor Judy Andrews glances through pictures. 23 Officers: Secretary, Nancy Davis; President, Jeff O ' Dell; V.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS ORDERS NEW F LMS, RECORDS Continuing its means of absorbing French culture, Le Cercle Francais ordered numerous films, records and books on the French way of life, including films supplied by the State de- partment. High on tire club ' s list of popular French singers is Francoise Hardy. The club also made its annual Christmas visit to Mrs. Lamb ' s and sang carols with her. Above: Francoise Hardy proved to be the club ' s second sponsor. Left: Third-year French students enjoy die many books, magazines and records in die club ' s abundant library. 24 F.T.A. members benefit from Mrs. Wadkins ' talk on colleges. MEMBERS LEARN FROM EXPERIENCED TEACHERS The F.T.A. planned four major meetings this year and for each meeting one of the high school teachers spoke on the teaching profession. After the previous year of substitute teaching, the members found the lectures rewarding and informative. The teachers helped members decide on colleges and programs of study to meet their desires. Some of the students, however, continued to help the elementary teachers in any way possible and these students found these teaching jobs to be new and enlightening experiences. Nancy Davis, Theresa Hilton, and Martha Wachsmuth glance through several college catalogues before de- ciding the college of their choice. 25 CITIZENSHIP THEME OF F.H.A. Future homemakers prepare the float that took second prize in Homecoming parade. Mrs. Christopher demonstrates the techniques of re- finishing old furniture . Citizenship was chosen as the program of work for the Future Homemakers of America Club this year. Nightgowns were made for the children ' s ward at Tidewater Memorial Hospital. Trips were taken to the Mosque on three different occasions to see The Vienna Boys ' Choir , Carousel , and The Barber of Seville . Arrangements were entered in the Essex County Woman ' s Club Flower Show and work done by FHA members was exhibited at several PTA meetings. The FHA also presented an Assembly Pro- gram during FHA week. 26 As part of their paper-mache project, Mary Clanton and Nancy Davis, along with Carolyn Blanton and Cathy Bareford, constructed Willie the Warrior. The club ' s Homecoming float. ART CLUB IS INITIATED An outgrowth of a newly organized related arts class, the art club participated in numerous school and com- munity projects. Members built a float for the Home- coming parade, participated in a national poster con- test, national Lenox china contest and exhibited hand work for the P.T.A. The club also arranged exhibits on loan from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. 27 SCHOOL CROSSING SAFETY EMPHASIZED Captain Jimmy Guess attempts to break up a fight during lunch hour. The Safety Patrol is an organization with two main aims in mind: to protect and secure the welfare of school chil- dren during school time and while arriving home by either bus or foot. This year has been a successful experience for each member as they try to perfect these goals. Mr. Wil- son, the new advisor, has worked with Captain Jimmy Guess and other members in recruiting women patrolmen at highway crossings in the surrounding town area. The routes were mapped out and the children were instructed as to the best route to take in order to reach their home. The children were also given lessons on bicycle safety. The bus patrolmen were urged to keep the buses as orderly as pos- sible to further safety precautions. On the premises the Safety Patrol strove to promote school safety by fire drills and general meetings of the Patrol. 28 1st ROW--Mr. Taylor, Advisor; J. Hayes, A. Talley, J. Hayes, R. Elbourne, J.

The largest group of majorettes that T.H.S. has ever had was formed this year. The smaller majorettes, ranging from the 5th to the 7th grades, were under the leadership of Sharon Roberts, Carolyn Blanton, and Connie Dawson. The group marched in the Christmas parade and in the Homecoming parade. Their participation proved exciting as well as successful. Try-outs for majorettes for the year ' 68— ' 69 were held for the purpose of strengthening next year ' s unit, and making it as successful as the present one. Each year an award is made to one majorette who has contributed the most help and ability. This year Sharon Roberts received this award. Sharon is a sophomore. Members of the color guard proudly carry out their duties of displaying the various flags. Sharon Roberts exhibits the form which enabled her to capture the Majorette of the Year award. 33 ATHLETICS T.H.S. WARRIORS: W. Medlin, J. Guess, G. Tignor, J. Loving, O. Tignor, R. Harmon, C.

On the field they were 7-2, but two of their wins were taken from them due to an early season eligibility error. The appeal on the ruling was denied by the Virginia High School League. But the purpose of this article is not to dwell on the disappointing side, but to pay tribute to a fighting War- rior squad that gave its fans an exciting football season and overcame adversity to become a better football team at the end than it was before it was struck down prior to the Northumberland game. To the faithful fans this team was 7-2 on the field, and undefeated in five games on the home field. Four of the five teams that met the Warriors at home left the field without reaching the goal line; only W L managed a touchdown. At home they outscored the opposition 116 to 6; overall the totalled 178 points to the opponents 64. They piled up 29 touchdowns to the opponents ' 9. Only the 1963 team could score more points and only the 1964 team had a better defensive record. The winning season was the sixth straight for THS and in those six years the teams have won 38, lost 12 and tied one. The ' 67 team, after a slow start, developed into one of the better offensive teams that has represented the school. They moved the ball on the ground well in most of their games as their total rushing yardage of 1395 will attest. Fullback Ed Kirk, who developed into an excellent runner this season, gained 601 of the rushing yards and led the team in scoring with 43 points. Halfbacks Dickie Mabie and Frankie Schools followed in the scoring. Quarterback Tommy Blackwell threw 80 passes and completed 31 for 530 yards and seven touchdowns. Most of the receiving was done by Wayne Medlin, Carl Thompson, Junior Martin and Mike Williams. Much credit should go to the Captains, Ed Kirk, John Loving, and Gouldin Tignor for their leadership all year. Loving was moved to a strong spot to protect his knee, suffered through the early games with some bad centers, but did an outstanding job over the year in all areas, particularly in opening up holes for the running game. Tignor, small and with good speed, would probably have been a halfback on most teams, but he was needed at guard and he made himself a good one. Hats off to the rest of the Warrior Seniors: Jimmie Guess, a fullback at heart, but a fine tackle in reality, who led the squad in tackles for the season; Overton Tignor, who had never started a game on offense, but who stepped into the hot spot at Northumberland, and gradually found himself; Robert Harmon, not big for a tackle, but determined and tough; Sonny Burruss, the number one backfield sub who filled in everywhere capably; Bobby Delano, a starter defensively from midseason on and kick-off team captain; Johnny Beazley, never a starter but always available and willing and who never missed a practice; Lewis Marion, also not a starter, but on the kick- off team and a willing worker. And to the rest of tire Warriors, too numerous to mention, but who contributed so much to the fine year, such as Peter Markham, Glen Ransome, Joe Robertson, Steve Daniel, Bill Watts, Wayne- Thompson and Dean Stalnaker.

LACK OF EXPERIENCE FELT BY VARSITY A successful football season having just ended, hopes were high as the boys came tog ether for their first practices. There wasn ' t much experience as only two from the previous year ' s starting five and a few other lettermen were back, but among the boys was an abundance of potential talent. The Warriors won a close game with C. T. Smith, their first game of the season. From here, the Warriors record plunged downhill. Something was missing that made the team tick. At times the team played as fine as any team but it seemed when under pressure, the Warriors just could not stick together. Led by Coach Ashton and the Tri-Captains, the team deserves some credit for not many teams could still put up a pretty good fight with a record such as the Warriors had. With tremendous mus- cle co-ordination, Keith Carpenter bounds off the floor to tap a jump-ball. 41 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM DEVELOPS SPIRIT, CO- OPERATION AND SPORTSMAN- SHIP. Although the Warrior girls lost several experienced players, they finished 5-5 at the end of the season. They worked hard all season, exhibited marvelous spirit, and played for genuine love of the game, and the defeats, though diasppointing, were taken in stride. The first string forwards were: Co-Captain Martha Wachsmuth, Jennie Lou Carpenter, Peggy Greggs and Mary Ann Rathje, also high scorer. These girls were supported by: Nancy Greggs, Glenda Wilker- son, Becky Elliott, Robin Hammond, and Billie Ann Elliott. Leading the defense were: Co-Captain Judy Andrews, Sara Parrish, Margaret Harmon, and Sandra Luttrell. These were backed up by: Lois John- son, Nancy Parrish, Margaret Mabie. The team ' s accomplishments could not have been realized with- out the faithful guidance of the coach, Mrs. McCloskey, the leader- ship of the Co-captains, the helpfulness of the managers, Nancy Davis and Beverly Harper, and the scorekeeper, Theresa Hilton. The scores for the season were as follows: THS—24, St. Margaret ' s --26; THSJV--17, St. Margaret ' s JV--16; THS--42, CT Smith— 11; THS--27, Rappahannock--28; THS--31, Middlesex--32; THS--29, THS--29, Northumberland- -15; THS--34, Lancaster- -46; THS--30, Middlesex--25; THS--28, Rappahannock--20; THS--22, Lancaster --25; THS--19, W L--23; THS--27, Northumberland— 20.

WARRIORS 2nd PLACE IN A SEASON’S EN D The Warriors closed out the season with ten wins against four defeats, leaving the team with a record of 6-2 in district play and a 4-2 record in non- district games. The 6-2 district finish only gave the Warriors second place since Caroline went 7-1. Dickie Mabie led the team in four departments, ending with a .386 batting average. Johnny Loving was RBI leader of the team, while Ed Kirk drew the most walks of the season. Sharing the pitching were three: Mike Williams, Tommy Blackwell and Glen Ransone. In 82 innings pitched they walked only 32, fanned 89 and had a combined ERA of 1.28. There were four shut-outs of the season, two by Blackwell and two by Williams . Talking things over and relaxing a bit, relieves the starting nine ' s pre- game jitters. 1st ROW--L. Marion; D. Smith; D. Mabie; B. Watts; T. Blackwell; J. Loving. 2nd ROW--C. Thompson; M.

Members of the team and supporting fans nervously await the umpire ' s call to ' Play ball! ' LACK OF EXPERIENCE HINDERS GIRLS Of the sixteen players comprising the girls ' softball team, only eight were seasoned veterans. Of the eight only three, captain Margaret Harmon, center-fielder Peggy Greggs and right- fielder Sara Parrish played every game . Optimistic as the team was with its fresh talent from the bench, the girls failed to set any district record and only won three games of the season ' s eight, proving that experience does help and though individual tal- ents there were, tire nine could not seem to work as a complete unit during every game. 1st ROW--G.

The girls ' track team, relatively unchanged in members and unwilling to relinquish the district title, set out in the early fall to capture the trophy for the fourth consecutive year. After winning a dual meet with Rap- pahannock, the girls practiced every spare minute even with injured knees, aching ankles, and stiff legs. How- ever, their hours of work and unbelievable spirit pulled them through as in the past. For die first time, they captured a place in every event, including eight out of ten first places. Results of the district meet were as follows: 880 Relay team of Rathje. Pollard, Layne, and Andrews took the coveted first; High Jump-- Andrews, second, Hammond, third, and Greggs, fourth; Broad Jump- -Rathje, first, and Pollard, second; Shot Put- - Harmon, first; Discus--Johnson, fourth; Hurdles-- Andrews, first, and Wilkerson, third; 60 yd. dash--Layne, first; 100 yd. dash--Rathje, first; 220--Layne, first; 440--Pollard, first. Margaret Harmon hurls shot and takes first place at district meet. Co-captain Judy Andrews finds time during practice for thought- ful relaxation and wonderings of the future meet. 47 T.H.S. Cheerleaders: Nancy Connellee, Roberta Haney, Dorothy Hammond, Lin Bareford, Maureen Hayes, Mrs. Hardy, sponsor, Mary Clanton, Kitty Hammond, Frances Jones, Brooke Kriete. CHEERLEADERS ACQUIRE NEW SPONSOR Mrs. Hardy pep up tire pep rallies. Hitch, Kick, 1-2- 3-4--Ouch! These things hurt and they ' re making my hands red. These unusual sounds echoed in the halls of Tappahannock High School while the cheering squad practiced for their first pom-pom routine. The cheerleaders learned die pom-pon routine, along with various new cheers, at Cheering Camp in Virginia Beach over last summer ' s vacation. We ' re Warriors born and Warriors bred became the true motto in the hearts of the T.H.S. Cheerleaders. Although the warriors suffered a losing streak in basketball, this streak did nothing to mar the cheerleaders ' spirit. The cheering squad and their new sponsor, Mrs. Hardy, worked hard to spread pep and enthusiasm throughout the football and basketball seasons. 48 Victory brings smiles from cheerleaders after football game .

Under the fine guidance of Coach Jones and Co-Captains Ben Reynolds and Jerry Dickinson, the Tappahan- nock High School Junior Varsity football squad played much better than their scores indicated. The boys lost to Northumberland 38-0, lost to K ing George 12-5, and lost again to King George 13-6. The last two games were very close, and THS stayed ahead up to the last few minutes. Great admiration goes to these boys who rallied to overcome their disappointments by practicing daily until late in the evening and striving to build up endurance. Outstanding players were Daniel Stalnaker, Dean Stalnaker, Trent Taliaferro, Ben Reynolds, Ray Elbourne, Billy Watts, Donnie Thomas, John Ball, and Binky Durham. Coached extremely well by Mr. Wilson, the Tappahannock High School Junior Varsity basketball squad began a new season with many new faces mingled with those of experience. The boys practiced regularly; putting forth much time and energy. Although their record of 1-7 was disappointing, the team showed fine Warrior spirit and determination. Steve Barquist, Thomas Carneal, Binky Durham, Dean Stalnaker, Jimmy Young, and tire Tri- Captains Jimmy Hilton, Wright Ferry, and Bill Watts received most of the action and were well backed up by their teammates on the bench. The boys tried to present the true image of THS with its sportsmanlike attitude and smile of the face. Playing many a good game and losing only by a few points, each boy tried to prove that Tappahannock was the best team. . This year, a Junior Varsity cheerleading squad was organized for the first time at THS, under the direction of Mrs. Hardy. Although the squad was not formed until the beginning of basketball season, the five eighth-grade girls practiced long and diligently to give an excellent performance for the JV basketball games. With their well- executed cheers, faithful appearances, and pep- filled characters, the squad managed to instill a great deal of enthusiasm and spirit into both the teams and the spectators. A great deal of credit belongs to cheerleaders Agnes Andrews, Peggy Hilton, Laurie Brown, Sue Ball, and Captain Beve rly Daniels. 51 AMP JH x i| VHu mrj m v ffc i rijjf - W ' w M h ■ mm Mtw 1 c ADMINISTRATION Principal, Henry Burruss, questions improbable notes from students.

SCHOOL BOARD PONDERS BUILDING NEEDS Playing a major role in the operation of Tappahannock High School, the Essex County School Board is com- posed of representatives from each district of the county. The main purpose of the board is to provide the county with a more efficient school system. Serving as an advisory council to the superintendent, the members thoughtfully work out a school budget, disperse funds for the building and furnishings, and hire and dismiss teachers on the superintendent ' s recommendation. 57 Physical Education Bernice Brooks, B.S, English 9, 10, 11 Henry Burruss, B.S., M.

Then a powder-puff football game, anF.L.B.A. dinner, selling everything from candles to cakes, a bazaar, spirited basketball battles in crowded, pulsating gyms, and waiting to hear from col- leges. And taking every sort of test imaginable, ordering an- nouncements, laughing at unusual gifts received at the Jr-Sr Banquet, finding out at the prom that Love is really Blue, and planning for the future. Then a madhouse of se- niors staging a play, a spaghetti dinner, spirited baseball and track battles under a bright and blazing sun, an adven- turous New York trip, and the final stages of tests, a Ruri- tan dinner, and practices . Then graduation, and joy, and tears, and regret. We struggled and worked hard, and were finally gradu- ates.
