In years to come, each one of you will view this annual and recall the events and people comprising this col- lection. Each picture and each word was selected to remind you of moments filled with laugliter, hours filled with knowledge, days filled witli achievement, and months filled with companionship. Time passes quickly. It is impossible to remember each moment. And therefore the Taporapian Staff has tried its best to compile for you these glimpses of yesterday and we hope they will present for you a memorable and valuable view of THS as it was in 1964-65.

In the years to come as you open to the pages of your Taporapian, it is the hope of the 1965 annual staff that it will be as if you were reopening lie doors to Tappahannock High School and a past way of life. A way of life filled with deep friendships, impressionable experiences, and great anticipations. The purpose of this annual and the ultimate intention of its staff is to provide each high school student with a valuable hallmark. Hopefully, the work of your Taporapian will be immeasurable, and the memories it provides everlasting. As you turn the pages, may you recall the winning teams, the plays, the classmates, and the teachers. May laughters and sorrows be unrolled in the pages recalling the many happenings.
The annual staff would like to congratulate the Class of '65 and thank them for their contribution to Tappahannock and the Taporapian. May they always have a place in their heart for their school, as they most certainly will have a great part in the tradition at Tappahannock. The remaining students have an obligation, not only to students of the past, but to those of the future, an obligation to uphold the standards and traditions of
T.H.S
In conclusion, the staff wants to wish the students of the present, as well as those of the past, the greatest height of success in en- countering the challenges of tomorrow, and pray that each tackles them with the same vigor, strength, drive, and dedication which makes Tappahannock High a school looked upon with intense pride.

Mr. Woolford, you have been with the faculty only two years, but the help and guidance you have given us can not be measured. You have set an example for all of us to follow. You are devoted to your profession, you have a pleasing disposition, an excellent sense of humor, and you cause the students to feel they are truly in- dividuals by treating them with respect. We feel you are a successful teacher.
You have contributed not only your knowledge of the sciences and mathematics, but also your athletic ability on the basketball court and softball field during tliose unforgettable student -faculty games.
We can not repay you for all the knowledge, rmderstanding, and guidance you have given us. But we can give you this -- the dedication of all that we cherish here at THS.

Principal’s Message
We wish you every success. Remember nearly everything in life costs you something in effort, time, or money. Be sure you do not pay too high a price for fun, pleasure, popularity or fame, but also be sure you pay high enough price for learning, success, service to one's fellow man or for character. You have shown marked success along this line of development. May you continue to do so.

The board serves as an advisory council to the superintendent. The members of the board make out the school budget, disburse funds for the buildings and furnishings, and hire and dismiss teachers on the superintendent's recommendation.

"SENIOR, " Now isn't that a marvelous word? "S" is for our Superiority complex. After all, we have been here longer than any other students. "E" is for Energetic. You have to admit we seniors are always in the middle of everything. "N" is for our Non-chalant, subtle, casual way of trying to run the school. "1" is for the Indispensable advice we freely give to all underclassmen. "O" is for our Omniscient attitude towards any question which might occur. "R" is for the Ridiculous manner in which we behave.
We have just discovered the ecstasy of being able to "direct" the 8th graders and elementary students.
We have grown above the heads of our teachers, with the exception of Mr. Gladding, of course, and we continually have told the underclassmen that we are perfect in each respect. In fact, we have said this so often that we nearly believe it ourselves.
Our world is a unique world. It is a world that only a senior could know. For it is the last year, and each senior intends to make it his best. At the beginning of the year, each senior works to obtain a high grade for the first semester. This is done to help build a feeling of security and to show the college that the student is capable of doing college work and should be accepted. By March the seniors who have not heard from their college have become nervous wrecks. Of course during this nerve -shattering experience the underclassmen offered their words of encouragement. By April the seniors have dispensed with their tranquilizers and are back to "normal. " At this stage of the game, each senior attemps to learn just how much he can get away with, to obtain the best possible grades with the least possible work, to make the lives of the underclassmen absolutely unbearable, to drive the teachers insane, and to make the Class of '65 an unforgettable one.
But when the year is over, we will exchange- our "Senior" title for that of "Graduate. " We will exchange our title but will never exchange our feeling of friendship for the students of THS and our feeling of respect for the teachers who have given us their all.

Homecoming, Turn-About Day Highlight SC A
The students of Tappahannock Higlr School are proud of their opportunity to choose the officers of their government -- The Student Cooperative Association. These five students represented tlie Executive Com- mittee for the 1964-65 term. As previous officers have done, they realized their goals and immediately began to work toward achieving tliem and making the 1964-65 SCA the best yet!
The Executive Committee wanted everyone to feel he was actually a part of his government and to be- come aware of the benefits of a working SCA. Some outstanding projects this year were the Honor Card, the Card Dance, Turn-about Day, Mock Elections, Rat Week, and the Homecoming weekend.
Mr. Gladding, our sponsor, offered a great deal of help on dances and other activities. His driving for perfection exerted much influence on the organization. For his humor and willingness, the officers of the 1964-65 SCA would like to take this opportunity to thank him.
Following the tradition of former officers, the leaders of the 1964-65 Student Cooperative Association have tried to make the Tappahannock High School student government the most effective yet!

Delegates Attend First NHS Convention
The National Honor Society was formed to recognize high school students who have displayed high qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Its purpose is to promote these qualities throughout the school and community.
This year, delegates from Tappahannock High School attended the first NHS convention for this area. Un- fortunately, it was too late to put into practice many of the ideas which they got there. However, if, next year, they follow these suggestions, the Honor Society should be a much more active organization at THS. The future goal of ouj National Honor Society is not to be solely an honor organization, but to strive to become a more helpful working body in the school.

Band Captures Excellent Rating at District Festival
Although many members of our band are young, they have tried to learn and master the fimdamentals of music. Mr. Trewett has been an able leader and has accomplished much in the way of establishing a really good band. Let's hope that the bands in the future will be as well organized and strong as this one.
Director: Mr. Trewett

Chorus Provides Musical Harmony
This year the chorus, under the direction of Mr. John Sheppard Trevette has been one of the most outstanding that Tappahannock High School has ever had. Throughout the entire school year, it has given many enjoyable concerts. With the superb direc- tion and a variation of songs to sing, the chorus has made singing more entertaining. Because of this our chorus has been a great asset and help to our school and community.
