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.
