SENIOR MOST ATHLETIC Mary Moorefield Jack Keller MOST POPULAR Dottie Brown Bradley Carter BEST ALL AROUND Dorothy Fariss Paul Dansberger WITTIEST Margaret Irving Tom Brown CLASS In the fall of 1947 a group of bewildered and puzzled boys and girls entered the halls of Cumberland High School to further their education, There were thirty-two of us who had come from three separate district grade schools and for a time we were three distinct social groups: Cumberland, John Randolph and Hamilton, Gradually, however, we got over our shyness and began to make new friends. We felt very much honored to be eligible for membership in the clubs during our first year in high school, By the time we entered our second year, we felt a little more a part of the school and were more prepared for what lay ahead of us, This year many of our members proudly took parts in the various clubs and school activities, We had the misfortune of losing a number of our members, but we also had the privilege of gaining some new ones, Among those who left us the first year were: Perry Turpin, George Adams, Rachel Pickins, Charles Gordner, and Thomas Dennis, We welcomed Dottie Jean Brown to our class, We came back to school in the fall of ‘49 as Swelled- headed Sophomores, This year many of our boys played on the baseball and basketball teams, The Dramatic Club was also open to us, Two of our members starred in the colored roles of Nicodemus and Begonia in the startling hit, Ready- made Family, This year's Christmas pageant was voted the best since we had been in high school, Several of our mem- bers played various roles in the pageant, Although none of our members were in the Debate Club, we were proud that our school team got as far as the semi-finals, This year we lost four of our members--Barbara Vaughan, Pattie Robertson, George Wilson, and James Cutright--but we gained two more, Shirley Meinhard transferred from Farmville and Anne Wilson from Johnson City, Tennessee. Anne was with us only one school term because she attended summer school in the summer of '50, She became a senior the following fall; thus, she graduated with the 1951 class, As Jolly Juniors we at last felt we were nearing our goal-- graduation, This year a number of us participated on the base- ball team, We won eleven out of fourteen games, There were no basketball teams, except for the FFA team, The FFA won first in the Federation and District and placed third in the State Degree Team Tournament, Jack Ingle was the president of the FFA, This year our Debate Club topped all the previous teams, Our affirmative team consisting of Bobby Sanderson and James Parker won the State Debate Tournament in Charlottesville for class three high schools, We gave a junior-senior party with mostly seniors and sophomores attend- ing. The Glee Club gave a very beautiful and inspiring Christmas pageant, starring Rozine Stout, Other members of our class were also in this performance, It was also hostess to the Dowdy School of Music recital in the spring of that year. A variety show under the direction of Mrs, Budd, who was assisted by a committee of students, was presented, The proceeds of this entertainment was used for the improve - ment of our school grounds, Many of our members added ii
