GRADUATION On Sunday evening, June third, the seniors caught their first glimpse of graduation with the Baccalaureate Sermon held at Tappahannock Memorial Methodist Church. Rev. Nel- son M. Fox delivered the sermon to the eleven graduates. Rev. L. R. Fleming and Rev. Paul Campbell assisted in the service, and Mr. Charles Sebra presented a vocal selection, The Heavens Are Telling by Beethoven. Finally, on Friday, June eighth, the long-awaited night arrived. Dr. O. K. Campbell addressed the graduates. Others taking part in the exercises were: Rev. J. S. Ewing, Supt. E. W. Christopher, and Principal, Mr. Flenry Burruss. Valedictorian, Diane Rose, delivered the welcome; Salutatorian, Newton DeShazo, presented the school gift; Robbie Waring led the candlelight service; and Laura Spindle sang My Task as special music. Four scholarships were presented -- one each to Diane Rose, Newton DeShazo, Connie Fogg, and Alan Elliott, post-graduate. Tappahannock High shall miss ail the faces of this outstanding graduating class, though small in number, large in achievement and potential. Hey, not me! I think I ' ve found it! Cmon, we don’t have long! Oh, dear! What next??? Wow! Who is it? Look, a camera! 17

Barbara Baldwin leaves her quiet nature to Laura Balderson. Calvin Boughan leaves the school to be run by someone else. Newton DeShazo leaves, hoping there might be someone left to fill his shoes, Connie Fogg leaves the halls of Tappahannock High School roaring with her laughter. Tommy Harding leaves for Hampton-Sydney, wishing it were Dunnsville. John Mason Hundley leaves the shop to Mr, Taylor. John Moon leaves the referees in peace. Diane Rose leaves her outstanding ability to anyone who can use it. Lacy Sparrow leaves his wit to Charles Harper and his drums to George Dunn. Earl Taylor leaves quietly. Robbie Waring leaves still trying to find that certain something lacking at Tappahan- nock High School. In the fall of our junio r year, we finally acquired a homeroom complete with jun- ior privileges. With Tommy as our leader, Calvin, John Mason, Barbara, and Diane progressed toward becoming seniors. September ' 61, we five long seniors were joined by those who stayed behind, Connie, Robbie, Newton, Earl, and John Moon, These students, along with newcomer Lacy Sparrow, comprised the Class of ' 62. Although we are one of the smallest graduating classes, we will remember and be remembered in many fond school day memories. 19
