Miss Lila Jane Ware Francis Carneal, Diane Acree, Miss Ware. We, the Senior Class of 1953, have been genuinely interested and have taken great pride in leaving with you the fruits of our toils. The staff is grateful to Miss Ware for her patience and expert guidance during our worries and frets so that pages would promptly go to press. The work has been tough and tedious, but to say, It ' s done our very own, gives us a wonderful feeling. As you turn the pages we hope you will derive as much pleasure in reading our yearbook as we have derived from editing it. We have tried to give you what you want in an annual, so now, as we share together the pictures and prose, may we always remember the eventful year of ' 53.

STANDING: Lilie Mae Davis, Betty Page Elliott, B o b b y Taliaferro, Deborah Thomas, Jean Ann Skelton. tii ILtl To Miss Cornelia A. Marston, whose patience, under- standing, and untiring efforts have always been directed toward making our school life happier and most of all, just because you ' re you. Miss Marston, we, the staff, gratefully dedicate this, the 1953 Taporapian, 10 cun OF’SS To the Seniors of 1953--I salute you! You are about to embark on a new and different voyage. For some for- mal schooldays are over; for others it is but the beginning. Regardless of what you do or where you go keep your minds alert; there is much to be learned outside of the classroom. Surround yourself with sincere friends and good literature to the end that each day lived you will become a bigger person than you were the day before. There is much pleasure in this world for those who seek it. There will be some dark days, but if you have surrounded yourself with friends in whom you might confide your dark days will be fewer and shorter. You have the good fortune to have been born in a great free country. Do your part to keep it great, to keep it free, and to keep it solvent. Bon Voyage. ELDON W.

Marston, Sponsor, cun Hinoiiv September, 1949, saw a mighty forlorn group of freshmen in Tappahannock High School. All 60 of us, though we had been rather important at Lloyds or Tappahannock or Rappahan- nock District Elementary School felt somewhat baffled upon entering, the principal and Mr, W. L. Wa e and Mrs. Edna Carlton, sponsors of the two sections of our class, helped us become adjusted rather rapidly. The highlight of the year was the big party for the whole high school in May. Though there were problems as well as pleasures, June came quickly enough and we were Sophomores. September, 1950, rolled around and back to school trooped the sophomores-fewer in number, it ' s true, but very ha ppy to proceed on our school career. We were fortunate to have Mrs. Warner to sponsor our class that year. To add to our good fortune Mr. Chris- topher came as principal. We were more active this year. Severalofour boys and girls became active participants in sports and clubs. We were beginning to make ourselves really known in T. H. S. June ended this and we assumed the title of Juniors, September, 1951! What a thrill to begin this year with Miss Elaine Owens, our sponsor. Wonderful things were in view for us - especially were we looking forward to the prom and the banquet. We didn ' t mind the work or anything else. We were the Juniors, and as such we had numerous participants in every high school activity. May Day and Graduation were crowning events, because we had a big part in them. Twenty-four of us will always remember the June day that we learned we were really Seniors. September, 1952 finally came and with it we returned to school to enjoy our privileges as dignified seniors. No better fortune could have befallen us than to have Miss Connie Marston sponsor our class. This is the big year in our lives. It requires much of us - the senior play and the annual - but it likewise has tremendous significance for us. We are looking forv ard to being entertained by our inferiors, the Juniors, at the annual banquet and to sharing with them the privilege of giving the Prom. We have come a long way. We ' veworked, but that work mingled with our many pleasures has made school life enjoyable. High School life is over for us, but our history is something we ' ll long cherish and remember.

Mr, Christopher ' s office to anyone w ith four hands and ciAS!; PROPUin We pick up a June, 1863 newspaper and glance quickly through the T. H. S. alumni news. We find Doodle Balderson, star fallback for the New York Giants. Incidentally, he is being coached by Francis Carneal. Also in the line up of sports we learn that Bill Clarke has just won fame and fortune as catcher in the World Series, for the New York Yankees. peaking of New York--at Rockefeller Center Madame Deborah Thomas has become a mil- lionaire as an instructor of ballet. Marilyn Cooke has been her accompanist for the past five years, but because of her lofty ambition to play in night clubs, Marilyn is leaving Madame Thomas to begin a three night a week appearance at the Stork Club. Also in the money is Betty Page Elliott who has been piling up quite a sum which has been pouring in from her latest painting — Junior With the Light Brown Car. We read that Herbert Akers has recently purchased Club 360 formerly known as Perk ' s Coffee Shop. He has as his hostess his sister, Emma Mae Akers, who is still charming the Ifeivy while they eat. Also at Club 360 we find dietitian Juanita Shackleford planning the menus for the delicious meals. Nbrma Reamy, a famous actress, is making her way to the top in the field of dramatics. She recently received top rating in a play, I ' m a Policewoman, in which she took the leading role at the Theater of Theaters. Ah! He finally made it. Robert Croxton is sailing to Hawaii, just to relax and enjoy the latest hula revue. Along with Croxton is an old schoolmate, Billy Carreras. We find the two sunning on the deck of the Trans- Pacific reminiscing about those by-gone days at T. H. S. Billy is completely ingrossed in a sports magazine and is simply wasting the precious hours of Crox- ton who is trying to interest Billy in Love Stories so that he will be ready to face those Hawaiian beauties, but Billy just isn ' t interested. At the bottom of page three we read the announcement of the marriage of Lillie Mae Davis. Who would have thought that she would wait ten years? Oh, well, we expect a few false pre- dictions. After a decade Chemist Bobby Taliaferro has been found in a cave extracting poisonous juices from toadstools. We never thought he ' d revert to the cave man stage. In the upper corner there is a picture of rancher, Ray Ellis, standing beside one of his choice Hereford steers. Ray is the owner of the expansive Bar E Ranch near Ellisville, Texas. We read that a local, county school teacher is about to lose her contract because it seems impossible for her to arrive at school until mid-morning. Of course, this could be none other than the always late Diane Acree. Hold on to your hats! Flying fast is the famous stock car racer Jean Ann Skelton who re- cently won another trophy at the World ' s Stock Car races. She challenges anyone to break her undefeated record. From Paris comes Shirley Moon, a prominent dress designer, with ideas for her new fall creations. Since plumes are in fashion this fall Shirley has really put out some wild creations in the millinery department. Rev. Roy Parker has just returned from Chicago where he held the most successful preach- ing career. Roy converted more people in the beginning of his career than any other known evangelist. It ' s surprising to read that Jane Taylor is leaving Stuart Circle Hospital to do private nursing in Lexington, Virginia. Now what does Lexington have that Richmond doesn ' t? ? ? Because of her urge not to roam Barbara Ware has acquired a position as Secretary to the President of one of the large Dunnsville Department Stores. Dale Carter has recently received a promotion and is now assistant manager in the same store. Having finished reading the final article in the alumni news, we feel refreshed to learn the howabouts and whereabouts of our ' 53 graduates. We like to keep in contact with all of our alumni, therefore any news concerning our graduates will be gladly accepted from any of our readers.

The name means simply that we, the high school students, band ourselves together in one group to promote the ideals and aims of the school and to carry on such activities as are necessary forthe general welfare of the school as a whole and for us as individuals. We are associated with the state group to which all schools in Virginia be long. Conventions are held annually in the various districts. This year our school fur- nished the chairman and faculty advisor for our district. Representatives were present at the District Convention, the Virginia High School Forum, and the State Convention.

The primary purposes of the Stu- dent Council are to promote the m§ny j school activities and to assist in car- I rying out procedures necessary to f the well-being of the student body.

To make our school a safe place and to protect the children intrusted to our care is the motto of Tappa- hannock High School Safety Patrol. Through the cooperation of students, teachers, and motorists on the high- way, this objective has been realized.

The Club has as a permanent ob- jective the buying of letters for all out-going seniors who have lettered in more than one sport; they also expect to help with the purchasing of all school letters. In the spring as a project we hope to help equip the new gymnasium [uiniii mwm HADfiiii The Tappahannock Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America was organized in the fall of 1952. Some of the purposes for which the organization was forr ' i- are: to develop competent, agressive business leader- ship, to strengthen the confidence of F B L A members in themsel- ves and their work, and to create more und erstanding and interest in choosing busi- n e s s occu- p a t i o n s . The Future Farmers of America is a non-profit, non-political farm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to take its place along with other agencies striving for the development of lead- ership, the building of a more per- manent agriculture, and the im- provement of country life. It con- stitutes one of the most efficient agriculture teaching devices that has been discovered up to the present time.

Led by co-captains Ryland Balderson and Francis Carneal, the Warriors jumped away to three straight wins and seemed headed to their finest season. At this point .they lost a hard fought and close contest to King George ,34-3n and never were able to regain their early season form. . They managed to win only one of their last four games (Saluda), but probably their best showing for the last half of the season came at Christ Church on Thanks- giving Day, when badly crippled they held Christ Church to a 7-0 score until mid-way the 4th quarter. • Working r eg ula r ly with Carneal and B aidej ' suu un uffense ' we ' n?

Only one game was even close, as the home team combined a wonderful team spirit with some fine talent to merit the rating of one of the toughest teams in the section. (■ i t! Softball enjoyed its most successful season in years at Tappahannock as the girls chalked up a record of five wins in eight starts. They collected three victories in District play beating Montross, King George and Oak Grove; they also triumphed over Reedville t wice as the teams traded May Day dates. Led by Captain Sidney Balderson, who was backed by a solid squad of sixteen members, the team developed into a smooth combination.
