CLASS OF 1961 Our Class of 61 has traveled far since we first entered Rappahannock High School in ’56 as poor little eighth graders, who were neither men nor beasts. We have traveled a road filled with joy and ex- citement, one that only a student in high school could experience. Time seemed to pass so slowly, but finally we entered our Freshman year. We were at last high school students partici- pating in the different clubs and athletics. Time passed more quickly then, and be- fore we realized it we were sophomores, planning for a party that turned out to be the biggest social event of the year for us. What a success! Then in our Junior year we became organized as one class instead of two, as it was previously arranged, with Shirley Brown as President. This year was busily spent in making money for the Junior- Senior Prom. Just before Christmas much excitement was aroused as we received our school rings. We really felt the part of a Junior now. Then in the spring, we had a most memorable prom, carrying the theme “Blue Moon”. On graduation night as we accepted the candles of the out-going Seniors, we realized for the first time we had reached our goal that we had longed for for so long. We were now sophisticated seniors, with Roger Anderson as our leader for the year. We were thrilled with excitement as we were to be the first class to gradu- ate from the new Rappahannock High School. Being in a new school, we thought this would be just the time to start an annual, and we set to work getting advertisements for “The Rappsody”. Now as graduation approaches, the school is wrapped up with the excitement of calling cards, signing of memory books, measure- ments for caps and gowns, and the ordering of commencement announcements. In the midst of the bustling activities there are some who are making plans for the future. While some are planning on marriage, going into the service, or just getting a job, others are applying for ad- mission to college.
