Tappahannock High School - Annual Yearbook (Tappahannock, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1960 volume:

t b ! THE TAPORAPIAN Foreword Trees speak to us of growth, of strength, of maturity. Towering far above us, their majestic beauty instills in every man the desire to reach far higher goals and to achieve his greatest aims. Through countless ages the tree has been symbolic of life and knowledge, forever challenging, forever inspiring us to develop the best that is within us. The following pages bring to mind trees and youth. You who have beheld the wonder of a tree know of its firmness, of its fruitfulness. In using this theme in the 1960 Taporapian, the staff of this publication expresses the wish that the school experi- ences of each student at T. H. S. will in time bear satisfying and rewarding fruit. THE STAFF Contents DEDICATION STAFF BUILDING ADMINISTRATION SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN ELEMENTARY FAVORITES ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS ADVERTISEMENTS MRS. WILLIAM P. MANN We, the Senior Class of 1960, take pride in dedicatingour annual to Mrs. William P. Mann and her excellent cafeteria staff. We wish at this time to express our sincere appreciation not only for the appetizing and nourishing meals they have prepared for us, but also for the constant good humor and untiring patience with which our lunches were served. With this small token of our esteem, we wish to express to you our heart- felt thanks for making our lunch hour our favorite hour. We may live without poetry, music, and art, We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; We may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

W. BURRUSS Seniors of 1960, we congratulate you, forhaving attained the first goal in your school career. Along the way you have had many opportunities to learn, to serve, to give a friendly word or smile, and work for your own good and the good of the school. This you have done well. You have pioneered in trying to bring about better school spirit and you have been leaders in trying to have your fel- low students realize the importance of honesty, integrity, and a job well done. As each class comes and goes, our goal is to help each succeeding class be better than the one before. Granting that this may be accomplished, your class and this school year will still be long remembered and appreciated.

Somehow we got through our first High School exams Then we began practice for the last T. H. S. May Day, At last we are Sophomores, and feel like we know everything. Mrs. Healey and Mrs. Taliaferro guided us through this year. The Biology department will never forget our class I September, 1958- We are Juniors I - The Junior-Senior Prom! - The Junior-Senior Banquet! This was the year several of our girls helped the girls ' basketball team go to the finals. In February the Seniors gave us the Prom, In May we gave the Seniors a banquet with a Mexican theme. We leaned on Mr. Sebra and Mrs. Kitchen that year. During the last week of our Junior year we went to Westmoreland Park for a picnic. Our Senior year was spent making money and planning a trip to New York! We will be the first class to go (if we go). This year Mrs. Kitchen and Mrs. Spindle help- ed us plan the Prom and the Sehior Play. In the Spring the Juniors gave us a Banquet. For the first time at T, H. S. a Honor System was installed. We are happy to say it was a success. June, 1960 - Commencement! We begin a new decade in the world.

The Elementary Student Cooperative Association seeks to train children from grades 4 through 7 to become useful citizens and strong leaders for their tomorrow ' s higher learning - secondary school. This training is done by functioning committees in such areas as safety, welfare, grounds and building, well planned and varied pro- grams. These programs are given at eight of the monthly meetings. The other month is given to legal voting, setting up and maintaining poles. SEVENTH GRADE FIRST GRADE Na Val Pork Sarvj l! -f T.H.S.

After winning their first five, including a come from behind thriller against Northumberland, Tappahannock lost their chance for a first place finish on a cold, gray day at Oak Grove as they blew a 5-3 tenth inning lead and lost 6-5. Forced into a play-off game with Northumberland for the Division leadership, they went eight innings dead locked, 2-2 only to lose it 3-2 in the ninth. One of the toughest blows to the team besides the Oak Grove defeat was the loss of their fine pitcher and leading hitter, Dickie Blackwell, due to an injury. This occurred the week before the play-off. Wayne Johnson pitched the important game and pitched very well. The The starting line-up for most of the season found a battery of Blackwell and Calvin Davis, an infield of Lou Flanagan, Wayne Davis, Wayne Brooks, and Billy Taliaferro at third, short, second and first respectively and an outfield of John Stevens, Albert Williams and Wayne Johnson. Peyton Motley filled in when Black- well was hurt. These boys were all experienced except a couple of outfield positions and the experience showed up well all spring as the team played consistently well. Probably the weakest factor was the clutch hitting but even then the Warriors outscored the opposition 57-28. A good season all the way.

They trounced Lancaster convincingly in their opening game 39-12 and then were shut out in the scoring column until their final game against Northumberland. Although the season was long, these boys played it hard all the way and progressed some with each loss. Their best football was played in their final two games against Caroline and Northumberland. In the final, the Warriors jumped to an early lead, were tied 6-6 at the half but feel to the superior speed and manpower of the visitors. Usually the starting line-up found Billy Taliaferro and Newton DeShazo at ends, Joe Chinn and Cal- vin Boughan at tackles. Stuart Woodland and John Moon at guards and William Lankford at center. The backfield consisted of Lou Flanagon at quarter. Bob Mann and John Stevens at the halves and Marvin El- bourn at fullback, Peyton Motley, Robbie Waring, Bryan Taliaferro, Wayne Johnson, Billy Croxton and George Ellis all saw considerable action. Many of these plus most of the rest of the 25 man squad will return next year to give it another try. Marvin Elboum and Billy Taliaferro were captains and had good seasons. Others that played real well at times were Flanagon, DeShazo, Woodland, Mann, Stevens, and Bryan Taliaferro. TAPPAHANNOCK 39 Lancaster 0 New Kent 0 Mathews 0 Northumberland 0 West Point 0 Caroline 6 Northumberland j Track ’59 Tappahannock, for the first time, was not a contender in the District Track meet in 1959. Lacking experienced performers and much needed speed, the Warriors finished well down the line in total points. They did come up with some individual success as Wayne Davis tied for first in the high jump and placed second in the broad jump. John Stevens placed second in the 440. These were the best performances Tappahannock could muster, but they did win a few other places including fourth in the 100 and 220 by Norris Andrews, and fourth in the discus for Tallie Davis. The Warriors did not take part in the State meet this year. Basketball ’60 With one game left to play, Tappahannock seems destined for their worst basketball season since the first years of its existence as a sport at the school. In eight games so far, they have yet to win and with only Northumberland left, the possibility seems unlikely. Starting the season with only one letterman and little bench strenth from last year, the squad has worked hard and at times looked as if it would cause trouble but never were they able to come up with the game; a good quarter or two, but never the real good game. Lou Flanagan, the only letterman and the team Captain, was a starter along with Wayne Johnson, Peyton Motley, Tommy Harding and John Stevens. John Moon, Joe Chinn, Newton DeShazo and Don Lynch were the mo st frequently used reserves. Flanagan and Stevens were one-two respectively in the scoring. Generally, this was a hard working group of boys who at times could have won with a break or two, but mainly lacked the necessary talent to compete consistently in the District. It is sure they deserved a better fate than they received.

However, there were many outstanding performances turned in the the fielding work of freshman, Danna Dickinson, strengthened the outfield when added to that of veterans Ann Hardwick and Annie Hayes. Mary Christopher, ace pitcher, turned in some top notch hurling, backed up by catcher, Rachel Hayes, one of the heavy batters. Bessie Loving at third, Eloise Mundie at second, and Cora Jett Moore at shortstop make up the infield with Sally Mullen, Betty Page Carlton, and freshman Betty Taylor vying for first base position. Smitty Taylor, a south paw, was the relief pitcher.

The girls basketball squad of 1959- ' 60 was composed almost entirely of new faces with only four veteran players - Betty Page Carlton, Mary Christopher, Ann Hardwick and Karen Parker. Added to this core were guards Kitty Lou Burrus who had had training experience from the previous year, but no game play experience. The addition of the newcomer Danna Dickinson in the forward zone supporting Mary Chri stopher and Betty Page Carlton gave that area an outstanding combination. The guarding area was ably handled by Ann Hardwick, Karen Parker and Kitty Lou Burrus - all of whom turned in exceptional performances. For Mary Christopher, Betty Page Carlton and Ann Hardwick the year climaxed four years of fine ball playing inspired by determination and cooperation. 1 r y BB ' vWm Vt P ; r| SCA Officers President, Billy Taliaferro; Vice President, Betty P.

It is the law mak- ing body of the school. The Council consists of all S.C. A. officers and home room representatives. National Honor Society The Tappahannock Chapter of the National Honor Society was established at Tappahannock High School on January 20, 1956, with nine charter members. The purpose of the Honor Society is to recognize those students whose academic average during the first two years of high school has equaled or exceeded B. In addition to high scholarship, each candidate is judged by a committee from the faculty on his Service, Leadership, and Character. Tapping services are held each year in the fall. Any student beyond the ninth grade level becomes eligible as a candidate for membership when he has met the academic requirement. Membership for the current year consists of eleven seniors and ten juniors. These members must maintain their scholastic standing and must continue to exhibit the qualities on which they were originally judged. The Tappahannock Chapter, sponsored by Mrs. Edna Carlton, emphasizes scholarship and the worthy contributions scholars make to the general well-being of the school.

Distributive Education Club Distributive Education refers to vocational education for those engaged in distribut- ing goods and services to the public, including all retail, wholesale and service occupa- tions. Its purpose is to provide thorough vocational instruction to those employed indi- viduals to the end that they be efficiently prepared for profitable employment. Distributive Education is an example of cooperative training, requiring the joint interest and efforts of the schools, the distributive businesses, and the community. All three benefit thereby - the school by providing training that is needed - the employers by obtaining more efficient personel - the community by receiving better service as consumers. The regular Distributive Education program has two distinct objectives. 1. To prepare high school youth for future employment upon their graduation. 2. To improve the occupational competency of adults already engaged or en- tering upon employment in retail, wholesale and service occupations. Distributive Education provides a flexible program that functions as part of our total educational plan. The Tappahannock High School Safety Patrol ' s motto is To make our school a safe place and to protect the children entrusted to our care.” With the students, teach- ers, and motorists cooperating, this objective can easily be carried out as there are Safe- ty Patrolmen in the halls, on the buses, and at the intersections to insure the safety of the Tappahannock High School pupils. The motto of the 4-H Club is to make the best better. With the leadership of Miss Ankers and Mr. Richardson we strive to obtain our goal. The 4-Her ' s also try to live up to their pledge which is; I pledge my head to clear thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, and my country.
