We soon adjusted ourselves to high-school life and found that we liked it quite well. We did, however, feel somewhat set apart from the upper classmen as the only extra-curricular activities in which we could participate were the Christmas pageant and the 4-H Club, Although we enjoyed the first year, our fondest dream was to become freshmen and to make our class really prominent at Cumberland High. Suddenly the dream had come true! Fall of 1950 had arrived, and we were freshmen, Immediately we plunged into various club activities; the boys joining the ball team and the F,F,A,, the girls becoming members of the F,H, A, and the Glee Club. We felt that we were an important part of our school and the year was a happy and active one for us. September, 1951, found us returning to Cumberland High as Mighty Sophomores. We soon made plans for the initiation of the freshman class, an event which our class somehow managed to escape during its tat year. Initiation day arrived, and we shall never for- get the girls with their uncombed hair and mismatched clothes, or the boys with their painted lips and clothes turned backwards, In the fall of 1952, back we came from summer vacations as Jolly Juniors. And, oh, there was much to be accomplished this year! Besides our regular class work, we had to perform our duties as members of all the clubs to which we belonged. In addition, we planned a picnic for the seniors at Bear Creek Lake. Naturally, the day was beautiful, the fellowship inspiring, and the food tasty and plentiful. Time seemed to have wings during this year, and as we bade the seniors farewell, we realized that we at last were Cumber- land High Schools’ senior class, Last fall found us beginning a school year at C.H.S, for the final time. We soon discovered, to our sorrow, that our senior year would be even busier than the junior year! We all had more work to accomplish than we had time in which to do it! We rushed from class to outside activity, to staff meeting to club meeting, and back to class again. We wondered how we would ever manage to do every- thing. Yet, here we are, ready to graduate! Our class losses during high school have been extremely heavy. We began as a class of 38 members; only 15 of that number now re- main, During or at the end of our first year, we lost Annie Giles, Wanda Jackson, Reba Morgan, Faye Pipjunge, Ellen Slepowicz, Ray- mond Wilmouth, Keith Smelcer, Walter Smelcer, Rueben Morgan, } Laziest ’ Robert Proffitt Jeb f a, Thomas Huddleston, D. S. Grindstaff, Edwin Davis, and Benny Bales. In our freshman year, we lost only one classmate, Sadie Marion. A%s sophomores, we welcomed Shirley Dunn, Sarah Newton, Jim Owen- by, and Robert Parkerson to our class, Those who left during or at the end of this year were Annie Cutright, Dallys Cooke, Lorena Morris, Charles Marion, Clifton Garris, Robert Parkerson, and Melvin Befry. Jean Duncan and Max Latham dropped out after completing the junior year, All of us have been active participants in many extra-curricu- lar activities, Willie Duncan, Jim Owenby, and Robert Oertel have been outstanding in both baseball and basketball. Shirley Pembelton, Shirley Dunn, and Kathryn Guinn have been outstanding members of the girls' basketball team, Penny Baber handles the important job of annual editor, and Shirley Pembelton has the same position on the newspaper staff. These are, of course, only a few activities in which our class has taken a leading part. When we think about our life here at C,H. S,, many happy memories come to us. Gay laughter and warm greetings welcomed us each fall as we returned to school from summer vacations. Our beau- tiful Christmas pageants, filled with the dearly-loved Christmas car- ols heralding the birthday of our Savior, were events which will al- ways be remembered fondly by us. Who could ever forget the excit- ing last days before a Dramatic Club play! Will we ever cease hear- ing the crack of a baseball bat that meant that spring was here and the young men's fancy had turned to Play ball ? Among our fondest memories will be that of the picnic given for us by the junior class. And now at the very end of our school career, we are experi- encing with pride and joy--and a little sadness, too--our class day excercises, our baccalaureate sermon, and our graduation rites, Yes, we will soon be saying farewell to our high school days. We shall certainly miss all our friends whom we will leave behind, but we sincerely hope that your remaining years at Cumberland High will prove rewarding in both knowledge and fellowship. Most of all, we shall miss our fine principal and teachers, who have been helpful friends as well as instructors, Although we are leaving Cumberland High School, we shall always remember it as the place where we spent many of the happiest times of our lives. We shall always recall it fondly as our Alma Mater, MARY ANN ROBERTSON Class Historian aoa Happiest Earline Hatcher 13 Neatest Biggest Flirt Mary Ann George Most School Spirited Robert Oertel Lucille Ferguson Most Carefree Penny Baber ‘ bi = Wittiest Joe Reed Best Personality Shirley Pembelton Quietest Minnie Thompson Most Versatile “ Carolyn Stonnell ao Barbara Addleman Evelyn Baldwin Janice Blanton Evelyn Bowling Jackie Bryan Nell Cooke Ambler Cox Robert Duncan Dickie Fahrner Clarence Ferguson Betty Foster Barbara Gamage 14 Jack Guthrie Ben Herndon Frances Herndon Buster Ingle Agnes Johns Shirley Johnson Charles Joyce W.
