Tappahannock High School - Annual Yearbook (Tappahannock, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1966 volume:

1 A Wave for Friends — Cuban refugees waved to Cuban exiles on shore as their coast guard cutter approached Key West last fall. Such emotional scenes occurred frequently after Castro announced his “open door’’ policy, allowing certain groups of Cubans to leave his dictatorship. 2 Pioneer in Space — Astronaut Edward White stepped from his Gemini IV space capsule and into the void of space last June. Maj. James McDivitt, his companion on a 3 ' 2-day orbital flight, had to coax White back into the capsule after he had traveled 20 minutes sus- pended from Gemini IV. Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad were the next space twins to orbit the earth. They completed their 8-day flight in Gemini V during August. 3 Medicare Bill Signed — President Johnson signed the Medicare Bill into law July 30 with former President Truman at his side. Witness- ing the event that had far-reaching effects on Social Security benefits for the elderly were (left to right) Lady Bird Johnson, Vice President Humphrey and Bess Truman. The ceremony was held in Truman Library in Independence, Mo. 4 Temporary Mood — Dodgers Manager Walter Alston ' s mood of de- jection after the Minnesota Twins won the sixth World Series game did not last long. The Dodgers emerged victorious in the 7th game and captured the pennant. 5 Double Space Spectacular — Astronauts Wally Schirra and Tom Staflbrd got this view of the Gemini 7 spaceship December 15 while traveling in their Gemini 6 craft for their historic rendezvous adven- ture. Schirra and Stafford rode their red-hot craft back to earth the following day, but Gemini 7 completed a 14-day mission before its re-entry. Making the longest and most significant voyage in space in Gemini 7 were Prank Borman and James Lovell, Jr. 6 Plea for Peace — Pope Paul VI stood before the United Nations General Assembly in New York on October 4 to deliver his plea for . world peace. His unprecedented, one-day visit in the U.S. was the I culmination of plans by men of all faiths. I 7 After Surgery — President Johnson was photographed in a reclining chair at Bethesda Naval Hospital the day after his gall bladder op- ,1 eration on October 8. He conducted the work of his office from his hospital room and his Texas ranch during his recuperation. 8 Proud Student — Charles Craig, 19-year-old freshman at Iowa uni- versity, demonstrated his criticism of draft-card burning incidents by displaying his draft card on his jacket with the note: “I’m a draft card carrying American and proud of it.” Our role in the Vietnamese war sparked the incidents. 9 Blackout — The glittering metropolis of New York City was thrust into darkness on November 9 by a massive power failure affecting hundreds of miles along the eastern seaboard. City residents and I commuters were stranded in offices, railroad and subway stations for ; hours before service was restored. The crippling condition was ; caused by a faulty relay at a Canadian generating station near I Niagara Falls. 10 New Ambassador — Arthur Goldberg was named U.S. Ambassador 1 to the United Nations by the President after the death of Ambassa- ; dor Adlai Stevenson on July 14 in London. Goldberg was secretary of labor under President Kennedy and a U.S. Supreme Gourt Justice when named to the U.N. post. 1 1 Startling Fashions — Bold and contrasting blocks of color were the youthful fashion note of 1965. The eye-catching designs even ex- tended the length of campus stockings worn with the costumes, i 1 2 Royalty on Four — Princess Margaret and her husband, Lord Snowdon, arrived in New York on November 4 for a whirlwind tour of the U.S. During their visit, they took time out for fun-filled activi- ties such as a ride on a cable car in Frisco and gala parties in Holly- wood and the nation’s capital. 12 TAPORAPIAN Tappahannock High School Tappahannock, Virginia 1966 What Is THS? The gigantic structure of brick, wood, and con- crete is only a front for the real, hidden symbolism of Tappahannock High School. It is a maize of classrooms, equipment rooms, and corridors. But this represents only a material picture of THS. Actually, behind the daily routine of boring classes, noisy halls, and crowded lunchrooms are the things that make a person glad that he ' s a Warrior. Beyond the daily grind of classwork are the tears, sweat, heartache, joy, victory, defeat, and toil that make our school the best. The real THS is more than it appears to be at first glance. Every particle of building matter, be it a splinter of wood, a worn desk, or a concrete wall, holds vast memories, secrets, and feelings of the students. The rafters in the gym peal out the joys of squad B defeating squad A; the misery of a forward missing a free shot with the score tied; the accomplished feeling of being able to do a back- ward roll on the balance beam. Each pane of glass in the classroom reflects the agonies of proving an impossible theorem; the satisfaction of having suc- cessfully completed an experiment; the sadness of failing a typing test. The slab of tile in the audi- torium will forever hold the feelings of the nervous candidate running for S. C. A. ; the glee of your class being chosen the king class; the solemness of Largo, and when a senior is suddenly gripped by the thought, I am now ending the first chapter of my life. I will never walk these halls again. Each brick in THS might stand for the personality of one student who has, is, and will be spending five or more years in these buildings. These bricks, molded together, become a solid, staunch, and powerful structure, indestructable to all. This Is THS. 2 Table of Contents Administration 7 Seniors 1 7 Classes 31 Grades 43 Organization 49 Athletics 65 Activities 83 Advertising 91 3 Mary J ane Brizendine EDITOR Peggy Kriete ASSOCIATE EDITOR 1966 Annual Staff Strives For Paulette Spindle ASSISTANT EDITOR Anne Beazley BUSINESS MANAGER 4 Bigger and Better Tapor apian Every year at THS a group of students has the arduous task of pre- paring a school yearbook. The purpose of such a yearbook staff is to compose through picture and word a year ' s activities at Tappahannock High School. It is the desire of this year ' s staff that the 1966 Tapora- pian will be a treasury of memories --of classes, teachers, picnics, plays, trips, exams, forensics, winning teams, friends -- memories that bring both tears and laughter. As editor, I would especially like to thank the members of my staff for their many endless hours of work; Larry Lennon and Pat Emery for their roving photography; Mr. Robertson, our sponsor, and Mr. Watson, the American Yearbook Company representative, for their advice and assistance; the faculty for their patience and co- operation; the purchasers and advertisers for their support; and you, the students of THS, for making all of our efforts both possible and worthwhile. We of the yearbook staff congratulate the Class of ' 66 for their many achievements at THS. We commend them for the friendly and cooperative spirit they have shown throughout their five years here. We pray that you, the students of the present, as well as those of the past and future, will always cherish the innumerable gifts that our school has given you and that you will fulfill the goals that this school has instilled in your minds and hearts. You are the evidence of the high standards of Tappahannock High School. May you continue to live a life worthy of these standards. Mary Jane Brizendine Editor 5 Captain Winston, you have now completed your sixtli year here at Tappahannock High School, and your high morals and gentleman-like ways have instilled in us a lifetime of respect. You have made a sound impression on us in the manner in which you never shirk your responsibility whether large or small. You have shown a warm, human interest in all tlie students and their problems. You have guided us tlirough many classes from which we gained much, but more important you have given us an example of a gentleman we would like to follow. In tliese classes, we have had the opportunity not only to learn the subject matter, but a wide variety of information. Our only wish as tire seniors of 1966 is that we could pay you. Captain Winston, some higher reward than tliis humble dedication. 6 ADMINISTRATION Principal Charges Seniors Congratulations Seniors . , , for achieving one of the goals you have set for yourself , . . graduation from high school. The cost has been and still is high. In dollars alone, several thousand; in time alone, over twelve thousand hours, or twelve years; in effort, only you know how much. The cost in time, effort care and concern of your parents and teachers can only be estimated. The big question is: Has it been worth it? The answer to this question can be, will be and must be given by you alone. It will be given in terms of your achievement, your service and your citizenship. It will be in terms of your solutions to problems of today and tomorrow that are and will be found in your community, your state, your nation and your world. Some of you will begin to pay this debt of time, money and effort very soon. Others will take longer but the final measure is whether you have left the world a better place because you have lived in it. As you seek to pay this debt to life remember to turn good into evil is to destroy all, but when you turn evil into good, you work hand in hand with God, 8 Superintendent -- Mr, Eldon W. Christopher Occupatia -- Mr. David Butler Clerk -- Mrs, Burnley Kirk Rappalrannock -- Mr, John Broaddus Central -- Mr. Austin Trible School Board Adds Two New Members The school board, composed of representatives elected from each district of the county, is a most important body. It ' s main purpose is to provide the county with a more efficient school system. To carry out their objective, the board members thoughtfully make out the school budget, dispurse funds for the buildings and furnishings and hire and dismiss teachers on the superintendent ' s recommendation. The Essex County School Board plays a major role in the organization and operation of Tappahannock High School. Superintendent: Mr, Eldon W.

As Junior Freshmen, the climb toward becoming a Senior seemed unbelievably long. Now, looking back over the past five years, the climb seems to have taken no time at all. It doesn ' t seem possible that we will soon be graduates, leaving behind us our old familiar world for a new way of life, full of responsibilities and challenges. While students at Tappahannock High School, our teachers have, no doubt, at times wanted to shoot us; other classes have occasionally hated us with a passion; and we ourselves have had arguments and disagreements within our class. But all of us must admit that high school and life would be terribly boring if there weren ' t an occasional squabble for everyone to discuss. In years to come, as we remember our school days, we won ' t remember the dif- ficulties we had getting term papers finished on time or the geometry problems that simply could not be solved. We will remember, instead, the fun and good times we shared together. These days at THS have been, for the most part, happy ones, but, as the cliche goes, All good tilings must end. We are almost ready to go out into tlie world and face the unknown. While we are unsure of what is to come, we are at the same time eager. We look forward witli anticipation to what tlie future holds for us. 18 Sally Elizabeth Akers Cheerleader 5; Softball 3,4,5; Gymnastics 5; SCA 1,2, 3, 4, 5; Girls Track 4, 5; Le Cercle Franca is 4,5; FHA 1; Chorus 2, 3, 4; Reporter 2, 5; Home- coming Princess 5, Patricia Ann Balderson Basketball 2, 3, 4, 5, Co- Captain 5; Softball 2,3,4, 5, Captain 5; SCA 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; Student Council Rep. 4; Co- chairman Athletic Comm. 5; Safety Patrol 2; Chorus 2; FHA 2, 3; Vice Pres. ; Majorette 1,2,3; Library Comm. 4; Runner-up -- Athlete of the Year 4.

This year for the first time in many years the senior play was a drama instead of a comedy. With a very professional touch, Mrs. Spindle, the director, and the seniors presented The Barretts of Wimpole Street, which is the story of the love affair of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett. With a relentless spirit, the senior class worked long and hard mak- ing props and learning lines, and upon Friday night. May 13, the play was a tremendous success. The audience was swept back into the Eighteenth Century with the authenticity of the beautiful costumes and stage setting. The acting for the group of amateurs was unbelievably professional. The play, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, was another victory for the seniors and Tappahannock High School. 27 Seniors Spotlight New York 20 As Well As The Halls of THS High point of Sally ' s senior year No, I think I ' ll sit this one out.

Homecoming, Turn About Day, Welfare The 1965-66 Student Co-operative Association of Tappahannock High School, through the combined efforts of its officers, student council members, advisors, committees, and student body members, has worked hard to make this year ' s S.C.A. a useful and productive organization. The executive committee members each contributed hard work and sincere efforts in trying to make the 1965-66 student government at Tappahannock High School, the most effective yet. The yearly objectives have stressed working together: the welfare activities, the king class projects, social functions, improvement of the student council and honor council, and PTA-SCA cooperation. While its accomplishments are not numerous, the goals which were attained are successful achievements, indicative of the time and effort which were put into them. As you look through this annual you will, no doubt, remember many, if not all, of the events listed here. In looking through this past year, we hope you will learn from our experiences recorded on these pages and put them to good use in the future. The Responsibility Is Passed On.

S. Never Without a Song This year ' s Chorus has been one of the best in the history of the School. Each stu- dent is a talented performer in himself. Our director, Mr. Trewett, has helped them mature and develope their voices so that together they make one of the best chorus sounds in the State. 62 The T.H.S. Band Marches On Next year the beginner band will be moving up and THS is looking for an even greater band. Although our band is small it is a group of great musicians, who have accomplished much as a marching and concert band. Mr. Trevvett and the band have worked hard with marvelous results providing us with varied and most enjoyable music. The Christmas concert and the spring concert were both two of the most succe-ssful in the history of the band. 63 THS Majorettes Go to Camp In the summer of 1965 the THS majorettes, Jane Brooks, Linda Hundley, Pamela Passagaluppi, Linda Crowe, Glenda Wilkerson, and Connie Dawson went to camp at the College of William and Mary. There were two liundred girls and boys from many schools there. There was swimming, dancing and parties but when practice time came there was hard work. This trip to camp has made our majorettes one of the best groups in this district. 64 ATHLETICS Warriors Beat Arch-Rival Caroline, Late summer, 1965, the T.H.S. athletic field once again became alive with foot- balls flying and tackling dummies popping. Although it was predicted the Warriors would have a poor season due to the loss of twelve of last year ' s lettermen, the team fought their way to share the district championship. Warriors who saw first-string duty were: Tri-Captains -- Peyton Barton, Richard Balderson and Peel Dillard -- Kenny Stevens, Stan Williams, Johnny Fogg, Tommy Chinault, Jimmy Guess, Johnny Loving, William Shelhorse, Bobby Durham, and Dale Thomas. Others who saw active duty were Jimmy Williams, Ed Kirk, Woody Johnson, John Hopkins, and Billy French. The Warriors were stunned at the beginning of the season after Lancaster took them by a score of 7 to 6, but came back strong against King George, winning by 28 to 6. New Kent and Rappahannock fell moderately easily. Then Caroline came, the only team that had beaten Tappahannock the year before and the Warriors eased by, 6-0. W. L. proved to be an easy game as the score was 40-13. The next opponents. West Point, shocked the Warriors as the Pointers won, 14-0. The Warriors ' last game which they needed to tie for first place was with Northumberland. The Warriors rolled, 18-0, placing them in a championship tie with Caroline. The 1965 team proved to be one that was strong, able, and co-operative. If the succeeding football teams at T.H.S. are as outstanding as the 1965 one, Tappahannock High will be recognized for its atlrletic ability for many years to come. 66 6-0, Share District Championship Captains Dillard, Balderson, and Barton.

Boys Reach Tournament The THS 1965-1966 basketball season opened with many new faces on the team, and due to the lack of ex- perience the Warriors had a slow year. The team lost their first four games and were very despondent. The fifth game found the Warriors victorious over Marriott with a score of 56-41. Then they lost to Lancaster but won over Rappahannock 39-33. After losing to Lancaster again the Warriors were triumphant over West Point, 65- 54. Even though they won only three games the Warriors reached the tournaments. In a thrilling slow-down game they lost to Washington and Lee by a score of 36-13. The two captains Peyton Barton and David Passagaluppi were good leaders and carried the team in fine form. Scores T appahannock 41 C. T.

Patricia Balderson led the scoring with a total of 64 points, followed by other forwards Nancy Hammond with 29 points, Faye Delano with 38 points, and roving guard Pete Fogg with 59 points. These first string girls were supported on the bench by Jennie Lou Carpenter, Martha Wachsmuth, Hannah Nettles, Mary Golden, Beulah Loving, Sandra Luttrell, and Mary Ann Rathje. Guards Pete Fogg, Anne Beazley, and Linda Minor, made up the defense, backed up by Bonnie Elliott, Judy Andrews, Sarah Parrish, and Becky Beazley. The fine spirit of managers Nancy Davis and Becky Elliott made the team complete. Even though they didn ' t reach the tournament, the girls banded together and worked like a true team. Under the encouragement and coaching of Mrs. McCloskey and the moral support and generous help on the side from Mr. Ashton, this team displayed the skills and sportsmanship that Tappahannock High School should be proud of. 72 TAPPAHANNOCK CO-CAPTAINS: Nancy Hammond Patricia Balderson ■■tr 33 C.

Team This year ' s Junior Varsity Basketball team was the biggest in Tappahannock High School history, comprising students from the, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. The starting lineup consisted of Ed Kirk, guard; Mike Williams, forward; Glen Ransome, forward; Tommy Blackwell, center; and Donald Bareford, guard. In the latter part of the season Billy French, guard, and Carl Thompson, forward, freshmen from the varsity team, played in several games. Altliough the Jayvees got off to a slow start with few victories, they later proved themselves a team to be reckoned with, notably when they trounced the Caroline team the last game of the season. The Jayvees are grateful for the excellent coaching and support given by Coach Ashton and Peyton Motley. 74 Gymnastics Club Performs for PTA The Gymnastics Club was started this year in response to a large number of girls showing interest in doing modern dance and balance beam work. The club is an outgrowth of last year ' s demonstrations to the PTA and high school assembly. The club meets once a week and consists of girls who are interested and talented in creative work. The hidden talents of the girls of THS are brought forth in their creations done in modern dance, balance beam, and tumbling. The club is proud of the fine work done by this year ' s eighth graders. The Gymnastics Club is under the leadership of Ann Lee Hite, free exercises and modern dance; Nancy Hammond, balance beam; and Linda Lee Minor, tumbling. Our guidance director is Mrs. McCloskey, who has given us the encouragement to continue forward and to accepts new challenges ahead. 75 Warriors Capture Second Place in District The Baseball season started well this year with four straight victories without a defeat. Then W L beat the Warriors and this proved to be the declining factor for the district championship. When the season was over, Tappahannock had a 7-1 record and were holders of the 2nd place title. At the bat, Peyton Barton had the highest batting average and also pitched well in nearly every game. Gary Ball, Richard Balderson, Johnny Fogg, John Loving, Bland Motley, Stan Williams, Mike Williams, Jimmy Williams, Woody Johnson, Marshall Haney, Peel Dillard, Donald Ray Bareford and Bobby Durham also helped at the plate. Since there were eight seniors on the team, this year ' s reserves will have their work cut out for them. Senior Players 76 THS Softball Amazing 1-6 Record The softball team of ' 66 had an amazing record of 1-6, one win and six losses. The girls strained themselves to represent Tappahannock High as the best sportsmen at each game whether we won or lost. We had the finest morale boosters in the whole district, thanks to Tucker Spindle, Arlene Luttrell, and of course, the ' boys ' team. The team bids a fond farewell to its seniors, Sally Akers, Faye Delano, Betty Mae Crowe, and its faithful captain, Patricia Balderson. Remaining teammates: Becky Beazley and Phyllis Davis -- pitchers; Bonnie Elliott, Bonnie Johnson, Theresa Hilton, Hannah Nettle -- infielders; and Linda Hicks, Margaret Harmon, Lin Bare- ford, Sandra Luttrell, Nancy Davis, Marguerite Taliaferro, Sara Parrish -- outfielders. The gratitude the team owes to Mrs. Mac cannot be expressed in words. Her constant devotion and straightforward help urged the team through the season, despite the dis- couraging losses. From our lost games, however, we gained experience, skill, wis- dom and found new friendships among ourselves and our opponents. The remaining team looks forward to the ' 67 season with inspiration and a new valor to overcome our competitors with the new skill and a keener sense of abilities. 77 Boys’ Track Team Places Second In District With 46 points Tappahannock took second place to Caroline ' s 53 points in the district track meet.

With much team spirit and hard work, the Warrior girls went all the way to the top in district track competition on the Rappahannock High School track. Placing well in nearly all events, it was an easy victory with 31 points for Tappahannock. Rappahannock was second with 24 1 3 points. Judy Andrews and Frances Fogg placed second and fourth respectively in the high jump scoring the first four points of tlie meet for the Warriors. Mary Ann Rathje and Sally Akers then chalked up 6 more in broad jump with Rathje placing first. This put Tappahannock in the lead with 10 points. In the 100 yd. hurdles, the 100 yd. dash, and the 60 yd. dash, the Warriors found easy firsts, bringing in 15 more points with Andrews in the hurdles and Ratlije in the dashes. Ellen Motley was fourth in the 100 yd. dash and Ella Dunn held Tappahannock ' s only third in the 440. The 880 yd. relay team of Akers, Andrews, Dunn and Motley came in second to Rappahannock. It was only with the cooperation of all members of the team and tlie efforts of the coach, Mrs. McCloskey, that the Warrior girls were able to clinch the district title. 79 Cheerleaders Initiate “Silenee Day,” Varsity Cheering Squad: Peggy Kriete, Co-Capt. , Linda Hicks, Marguerite Taliaferro, Co-Capt. , Dorothy Ham- mond, Ellen Motley, Sally Akers, Kitty Hammond, Mary Clanton.

The sweetness of success! 82 QO ACTIVITIES Six THS Students Attend Boys’ and Girls’ State ’65 Again in the summer of 1965, Boys ' and Girls ' State, sponsored by the American Legion and the American Legion Ladies ' Auxiliary, were held on separate state campuses -- Girls ' State at Radford Gollege and Boys ' State at the Gollege of William and Mary. The six THS students heard speeches from such outstanding men as Gongress- man William Jennings, Bryan Dorn and the then Lt. Gov. Mills Godwin. These stu- dents were able to take part in a government which they formed through two mythical political parties. At the end of the 1965 sessions of Boys ' and Girls ' State, six people returned to Tappahannock with a renewed awareness of the importance America plays in their lives and their responsibility as citizens to preserve American ideals for future generations. 1 iZjfcSS ' ' 65 Representatives: (from left) Peel Dillard Mary Jane Brizendine Nancy Hammond Linda Owens Bland L.

Co-Chairmen Anne Beazley and Archie Sutton worked with various committee chairmen to get plans underway. A week before the event, THS student body elected girls to represent their respective classes and a queen was chosen from three Senior princesses. The princesses were star attractions in the parade, numbering over thirty units. The football team played up to par and took Washington and Lee, 40-13. The high-light of the game was centered upon the half-time activities and the crowning of the queen, Nancy Hammond. The fans were entertained also by viewing the winning floats and the queen and her court. Everyone then began looking forward to the main attraction of the weekend, the Homecoming Ball, held on Saturday night in the cafeteria. The cafeteria, decorated in autumn colors, gave an atmosphere of Indian Summer , as everyone danced to the music of the Barracudas. And the Queen -- Miss Nancy Hammond!

The vote gave DeGaulle the French presidency for another 7 years, but the strength of the Socialist-Communistic candidate corroded the popularity of the 71 -year-old president.. 6 Agrees to Cease-Fire — Pakistani Foreign Minister Zulfikar Bhutto (right) agreed in the U.N. Security Council on September 22 to ac- cept the Council’s cease-fire order in the undeclared war between Pakistan and India. Pakistan’s announcement came after India had agreed to the order. 7 Abortive Coup Fails — Indonesian President Sukarno was toppled from power for a brief 20 hours last fall. He gestured at a cabinet meeting on October 6 during his first public appearance after the coup, which seriously shook his one-man rule. 8 Soviet Winner — Russian author Mikhail Sholokhov was vacationing in the Ural region on October 18 when he heard he had been awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for Literature. The December award ceremony was held in Stockholm. 9 Return to Desolation — Hundreds of families returned to the wreckage of their homes, destroyed by eruption of Taal volcano, south of Ma- nila, on September 28. Volcanic ash covered a six-mile-square area. The death toll was estimated at 500. 10 Price of War — The number of casualties increased as the U.S. stepped up its military action in Vietnam. American advisors took part in many helicopter missions, carrying wounded soldiers, both Vietnamese and American, to copters on makeshift litters for evac- uation to Saigon. 1 1 Reason to Celebrate — Chancellor Ludwig Erhard of West Germany waved to a cheering crowd in Bonn after his Christian Democrats surged to victory in the September 19 parliamentary elections. Mayor Willy Brandt’s Social Democrats suffered defeat in the voting. 1 2 Colonial Rule Shaken — Rhodesian Premier Ian Smith broadcast a proclamation of sovereign independence for Rhodesia on November 11. The split from Britain was made in an attempt to insure a white minority rule of the African colony. It was the first such move against Britain since the American colonies broke away in 1776. Britain re- taliated swiftly and took the problem to the U.N. Security Council, which asked all nations to enforce an oil embargo against the Afri- can colony.
