Senior Ca,4A 7eifrfrcUt4Ut«tac6 School in 4 ' Dedccatc M, These are the times that try men ' s souls. The above words by Thomas Paine have been equally applied by every generation since the Revolutionary War. Our generation is certainly no exception. We live today in a society that has been beset by world conflicts, diverse political philosophies, unparalleled scien- tific development, and, perhaps understandably, innumer- able personal complexes. Dedicated to the aim of lessening these tensions, The Senior Class of 1958 is pleased to present for your entertain- ment and enlightenment, The Taporapian. Laughter is the best medicine. PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE - HENRY W. BURRUSS Your school career has been largely what you have made it. It is within the limits, of course, of your ability and the instruction you have received. As you leave high school, you will find the person and personality you are in the future will be the result of what you do today and each day to develop it. Opportunity awaits those who are prepared to take ad- vantage of it. The obstacles and the problems of life are really opportunities to bring out your best and cause you to grow. We wish you every success in your life ' s work! 7 acuity First row, left to right: Christopher, Sutton, McKinney, Geddes, Doggett, Burruss. Second row: S isson, Haley, Allen, Durham, Ware.

The Senior Class of 1958 can now look back on a wonderful history with a strong feeling of pride, not only because the events have been the steppingstones toward the future, but because they hold many pleasant memories which will always remain with us in the trying hours of tomorrow. All through our years in high school this class has contributed much to every group and organization here at THS. Many have successfully been in athletics, and others have excelled in other extracurricular fields. These endeavors began, for the most part, in our Freshman and Sophomore years, and matured in our Junior and Senior years. The Junior Year was a very happy year, filled with trials, yet filled with goals accomplished. The class took a trip with the Seniors of ' 57 to Jamestown, the birthplace of our nation, celebrating its 350th anniversary. The high lights of the social activities were the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, which shall certainly go down as one of the most remembered affairs in the school ' s history. This year we ordered our rings and awaited them eagerly as we left for our Summer vacation. The Summer months were very happy ones for members of the class. Many of the students experienced full-time employment for the first time; others worked at part-time jobs; and still others really took the term vacation literally and relaxed on beaches in the neighborhood and generally had a Summer’s fun. September arrived and now we were really Seniors. The long-awaited moment had finally arrived when all for which we had worked these past eleven years would produce the desired fruit. For the first time the entire class, numbering forty-four, was in the same homeroom and could now operate as a unified whole. Class organization and activities to raise money occupied our thoughts the first few weeks. Of course, during this time we were proudly showing off our new rings and wondering why we had, or had not, gotten a crest on the ring. The Seniors witnessed, and took part in planning and executing, an even bigger and better Junior - Senior Prom. Everyone had words of praise for the affair which was quite naturally enjoyed by all. The big undertaking of the class is the annual Senior play, which has become a traditional favorite with the community as well as the school. Many long, hard hours were spent in rehearsals, but these paid large dividends on the night of the performance. We approached our last joint affair with the Junior Class, the banquet, with mixed emotions, real- izing this social event was signaling the end of an era. We were honored by the Juniors with one of the nicest evenings on record. The Senior Class took its annual trip to Washington, D. C. , and even amidst the hilarity of bus travel, became better acquainted with the functions of our government. After visiting many of the national shrines and monuments in D. C. , we stopped by the National Airport, a favorite with most of the class. Now that school has done all it can to stimulate our interests, some of us will go out in life feeling confident that most things will be met with success, whether in the field of business, homemaking, or in halls of higher learning. We feel that Tappahannock High School, for which we shall all hold fond memories, has amply supplied us with the necessary equipment to take our places in the society of our choosing, and has generally facilitated the solution to the complex problems we will inevitably face throughout life.

By conducting their own meetings, serving on committees, and planning programs, the children in grades four through seven have the opportunity, while still young, to develop the qualities needed to become leaders and good followers in their own organi- zation and to move up into the senior group with the needed background to take an active part in S.

The Tappahannock chapter of the National Honor Society was organized two years ago. Since that time it has served to promote scholarship, leadership, character, and service among the students at Tappahannock High School. Membership, based on the above qualities, is on an elected basis, and is the highest honor a student may attain at the school. TheN. H. S. this year presented a program as a part of the commemoration of American Education Week which was culturally acclaimed by the community as well as the school. Growing in prestige every year, the N. H. S. recognizes outstanding students from the Junior and Senior classes who will become the future leaders in their community, state, and country. The officers of the N. H. S. are: President, Betty B. Dillard; Vice President, Barbara Sutton; Secretary-Treasurer, Mickey Culotta.

I 4 iS I | The adopted motto of the Tappahannock High School Safety Patrol is To make our school a safe place and to protect the children entrusted to our care. Only through cooperation on the part of students, teachers, and motorists on the highways can this objective be carried out Patrolmen are on the busses, in school, and at the intersections, which town students use to insure the safety of Tappahannock High School pupils. President JAMES WOODLAND Vice President RAY THOMAS Secretary NORRIS ANDREWS Treasurer - - WILLIAM E. TAYLOR Reporter - - ROBERT M. MITCHELL Sentinel ELLIOTT SMITH The Future Farmers of America exists today because of a cooperative spirit and a desire on the part of farm boys, fourteen to about twenty-one years of age, preparing for farming through vocational agriculture, to have a national organization of their own in which they may secure practical business experience, act as their own instructors, and enjoy the fellowship of one another. It is organized vocational Education on a farm youth level. Improved agriculture, better local communities, a more satisfying farm home life, and more efficient farmer -citizens are emerging as a result of the boys ' experiences.

The Tappahannock High School Library serves Elementary and High School pupils. In our library stu- dents learn to find information outside of their textbooks. Here they find many current magazines, several sets of encyclopedias, pamphlets, books for reference and books for recreational reading, maps, filmstrips, slides and movies. Our library is an attractive place and we consider it the center of our school. The library assistants aid the librarian in keeping the library neat, and serve as informants for those using the library. Pictured above, left to right: Rachel Hayes, Ruth E.

Participation and growing skill in it is a happy and satisfying experience which lifts the individual to a higher level of satisfaction than is offered by most of life and thereby increases the sum total of happiness. Expression of feeling through a creative art like music is essential for the stability of the individual within himself and for his effective participation as a member of social groups. As a socializing force, the various musical organizations such as the Mixed Chorus, the Glee Clubs, Sextette, and Trio offer ideal mediums through which the students can learn self-control, self-discipline and appreciation of the importance of the individual in the success of the group. Public performance offers one of the best means the school has for furthering rela- tions - between the school and the community. Sextette Doggins, McDowell, Dillard, Hayes, Motley, H. Dillard.

Bobbie Co-Captains Football, the down-trodden member of the THS sports family after many winless seasons, took on a new look in 57. Sporting new uniforms, Tappahannock posted a respectable 2-3-1 mark; only a couple of late fourth quarter safeties against King George on a mud covered field prevented them from finishing with a . 500 average and possibly a winning season. After losing William Lowery, their co-captain and fastest back and tackle, Ryland Luttrell, in their opening game loss to Lancaster, the Warriors plugged the gaps to come back to play some hard and interesting football. They defeated Lancaster in a return engagement, their finest performance of the year. The easy win over Battle- field in the finale was a fitting reward for a good and hard-fought season. Experience was a factor in the good showing. Besides Lowery, six more regulars were Seniors. Guard and co-captain Ed Ransone, Center Charles Carreras, who was appointed as captain in Lowery’s place, tackles, Jimmy Woodland and Meredith Pierson, and ends, Temple Wachs- muth and Vincent Hardwick, all made their last year of football their best. Halfback William Taylor led the team in scoring with 24 points followed by Dickie Blackwell ' s 18. Halfbacks, Calvin Davis and Bobby Shear wood, fullback Wayne Davis and Elliott Smith and guards Marvin Elbourne and Garland Mitchell all had good years to contribute heavily to the season. This was the Warriors best team in ability, spirit and sportsmanship, a team worthy of any school.

Starting the season with only 2 lettermen from last year. The girls ' basketball team had many new faces drawing from the freshman through the senior classes. The guard department was headed by Jackie Moon and Ann Hardwick. The only two players with varsity experience and outstanding work was done by newcomers, Annie Hayes and Shirley Wilkerson. Also a new- comer to varsity basketball who achieved a starting position was Rachel Hayes working along with forwards, Mary Christopher and Susan McCloskey. Although the final scores of the games showed only three victories we cannot help but feel that the team worked well together and turned in some fine playing that should improve with more experience.

Winning six out of the eight starts, Tappahonnock either led the District or was tied for the lead until their final game when they lost a 3-2 toughie to Warsaw that cost them the championship. Leading the way as Captain and as a top-notch outfielder was Bobby Winder. Catcher Ben Davis, like Bobby, a Senior, gave the Warriors solid backstopping plus the long ball. The fine fielding of William Lowery at short, the hitting of Calvin Davis, and the exceptional pitching of Sophomore Dickie Blackwell all played an important part in producing a winner. First row: Ransone, C. Davis, Brooks, Lowery, W. Davis. Second row: Coach Ashton, Blackwell, Taliaferro, Wachsmuth, Pierson, Smith, Flannagan, Manager Kirk. ?57 Participating in the District Track Meet for only the second year, THS came up with more than their share of success as they took four first places out of nine events and finished second with total points. First place winners were William Lowery in the 100 yard dash, Manrid Winder in the 880, Ben Davis in the shot put, and Vince Hardwick the discus. Besides these there were several second, third and fourth places taken in the various events. Harwick, Lowery, and Winder took part in the State Track Meet at Charlottesville with Hardwick taking fourth place in the discus. First row: C. Davis, W. Davis, McKinney, Blackwell, Ashton, Lowery, Brooks, Ransone. Second row: Kirk Carreras, Hardwick, Pierson, Robinson, Evans, Wachsmuth, Flanagan, Luttrell, Insley. The Warriors entered the 1957-58 basketball season short on experience and height but strong in speed and numbers. They had only guard William Lowery and forward Dickie Blackwell from last year ' s starting team. The average team height was around 5 ' 10 , but the team balance created by a strong bench and a fairly seasoned group of Juniors and Seniors made this one of the Warriors better ball teams. They set their goal for five District wins and a tournament spot at the beginning of the season and they have met their goal right on the nose so far. Seniors William Lowery and Vincent Hard- wick were elected Co-Captains. Lowery, along with Wayne Davis, have been the most con- sistent scorers, followed closely by Blackwell. A lot of credit should go to Senior guard, Charles Carreras, who worked his way to a starting spot and provided the much needed spark all year. Other Seniors who saw considerable action and performed well were Temple Wachsmuth and Ed Ransone. Left to right: Lowery, Ransone, Wachsmuth, Pierson, Hardwick, Carreras.

Although the girls’ softball team did not fare too well - not as well as usual - several new prospects make the future of the team look brighter. Experiencing a losing season for the first time in many years, the girls compiled a 3-4 won- loss record. However some of the games were hard-fought and the scores do not necessarily reflect the closeness of some of the contests. The pitching of freshman, Mary Christopher, the catching of Senior Helen Rowe, and the hitting of Rachel Hayes, Audrey Allen and Patricia Carreras provided the bright spots for a not-too-illustrious season.
