IN OUR TIME . . . . .
This web site is dedicated to the Taylor County High School Class of 1964, their "school days" and lives since graduation in 1964. We hope you enjoy your visit and come back often.

The Taylor County High School Commencement Exercises were held on June 3, 1964 at Dorsett Stadium in Perry Florida. Patricia Frye, Valedictorian, addressed the class on "Growth of the Individual" and Mary Ellen Gaston, Salutatorian, spoke concerning "The Challenge We Face."

Mr. John P. Basner presented the Class Awards, Mr. Robbins R. Woodell, Principal, introduced the graduating Class of 1964, and diplomas were presented by Mr. A. E. Hart, Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The Class of 1964 extends its heartfelt thanks to the teaching and administrative staffs of Taylor County High School. This website is always changing and evolving. If you have information or photographs that you would like to share, please feel free to contact.

We are part of the generation known as the “Baby Boomers.” If you were born 1946 – 1964 - you are a "Boomer." Between 1946 and 1964, the United States experienced an exceptionally high rate of birth; thus, the “Baby Boomers.” Those of us born during this period have had a profound impact on society and the economy throughout all the stages of our lives.

The SIXTIES were an exciting, revolutionary, turbulent time of great social and technological change: assassination, unforgettable fashion, new musical styles, Camelot, civil rights, gay and women's liberation, a controversial and devisive war in Vietnam, the first manned landing on the moon, peace marches, World's Fairs, flower power, great TV and film and sexual freedom.
