A. officers were in- stalled and agricultural and baseball awards as well as those to Boys' State and Girls' State were made. GRADUATION 40 Now graduates of Cumberland High School, the Class of 1958, march forward with high hopes for the future.

After Mr. Smith presented the diplomas, outstanding seniors were recog- nized. Betty Jones and Bill Pleasants received the citizenship awards and Thelma Heath received the Farm Bureau scholarship.
