The Duke Vol. XVIII Published by Cumberland High School Cumberland, Virginia 1963 ste Foreword As students enter the open doors of Cumberland High School they immediately enter the realm of challenge. Its throne is in the classroom where every student struggles with perplexing but stimulating problems. Its domain extends to the ath- letic field, the halls, the lunchroom, and even into the social life of the school. Challenge manifests itself as bewildered anxiety in the face of a science student wrestling with a new experiment; it be- comes fierce determination in the face of the football player trying to break through the opponent's line; it is satisfied assur - ance in the face of the student who knows the answer to a test question or reaches a conclusion by his own thinking. Although it sometimes appears as the harsh task- master, challenge is really the student's friend and is welcomed in every aspect of life at Cumberland.

(49 Tate CoS TNT Rip Se Saenger . ee oes: Kenge H Wades Because she brings out the best in every student, we dedicate the 1963 edition of THE DUKE to Mrs. Georgia Putney, teacher of home economics at Cum- berland High School for many years. Mrs. Putney helps each student to see himself as he is and sets before him an ideal which she challenges him to reach. Her patience, kindness, and willingness to help are an inspiration to all who know her. This dedication is a small token of the love which the stu- dents of Cumberland High School have for Mrs. Putney. Dedication Administration The challenge which the school offers the student is de termined in great measure by those who admin- ister its policies. Fortunate, indeed, is the student in the small school who has a close relationship with a well-trained, forward-looking, and loyal adminis - tration. The challenge is two-fold. The administra - tion is inspired to present to the student those stand- ards of moral and mental integrity which will, in turn, challenge the student to become a worthy serv - ant of mankind. Superintendent E, A. Smith dictates a letter to his secre- tary, Mrs. Mary Musulin, School board members, Mr. R. C. Altizer, Mr. H. T. Harrison, and Mr. Charlie Goodman, study plans for new school buildings. Administration Principal Edwin H. Vassar addresses the student body. In addition to the usual problems of operating schools, Superintendent E. A. Smith and the county school board tackled the problem of selecting plans for two consolidated elementary schools as well as additional buildings for the high schools. These buildings will be constructed within the next year. After two successful years as prin- cipal, Mr. E. H. Vassar will resign to become a member of the Longwood College faculty next year. Both he and Mrs. Barbara Newman received their Master of Science degrees from Long- wood College in May, while Mrs. Catherine Garrett, Mrs. Elizabeth Gilliam, and Mrs. Dorothy Putney continued their studies at various colleges. Form Mr2 Ds b.Ray and MreaWeaw. Worrell this was the first year at C.H.5S., and for Mrs. Agnes Anderson it was the last. Mrs. Anderson has moved her home to Charlottesville and plans to teach there next year. MARY E. ALLEN, B.S. General Science, Chemistry Beta Club AGNES J. ANDERSON, B.S.

Indispensables Because of willing and able workers, Cumberland High enjoyed nutritious lunches, a clean school, and smooth rides by competent drivers on buses kept in good repair by the school's me- chanics. Mrs. Elizabeth Newman was added to the lunchroom staff, Edmund Garnett was employed as a bus driver, and Homer Simerly and Joe Brooks began their service in the new school garage. Two students, Earl Kirby and Robert Cable, accepted the responsibility of transporting their fellow students to and from school. Harold Gary, school custodian, brings a package of new books from the post office. The new garage enables Homer Simerly and his helper, Joe Brooks, to keep school vehicles in good repair, Classes Probably the greatest challenge of school life, and the one which confronts each student from the time he enters school until he graduates, is the challenge found in the classrooms of C.H.S. Even the walls of the classrooms seem to speak to the student, daring him to learn and retain knowledge, to present new ideas, to question old ones, and to answer the ques - tions. When the challenge of learning is successfully accepted, the student has completed one of the major goals of a high school career. Officers of the Class of '63 are Paul Stimpson, Vice-President; Mrs. Dema Arehart is happy in spite of Bobby Franck, Treasurer; John Broughton, Secretary; Joe her many responsibilities as Senior Hazlegrove, SCA Representative; and Neale Irving, President.

Classwork It's not for me was the conclusion reached by students of the government class after a six week's course in Com- munism as practiced today. These students were the first to receive such a course. Observing the county court in action, visit- ing the Civil War Centennial building, and illustrating their work with models, maps, and graphs were special projects of social Science classes: Research projects made Latin classes interesting, and four students entered the state-wide Latin Tournament. English students often sang lustily as they played recordings from such literary gems as “The King and I, but later groaned as they tackled assigned essays and term papers. 22 SEATED at the desk are student librarians Claudia Seay, Judy Morris, and William Garnett. Those STANDING are Alice Putney, Peggy Harrison, Rose Barrett, Jeanette Kirby, Rita Taper- ino, Billy Horst, and Mary Ann Bryant. Classwork With the help of student librarians, books and other materials were made readily available to students and teachers. Formal classes in library science were taught to eighth graders, and special in- struction in research was given to upper class students. A class in advanced algebra was taught for the first time at CiH.sS. Instruction in the use of the slide rule was a part of this course. Geometry students created and displayed designs illustrating geometric principles. New equipment, including many new models, made all science instruction more effective, and live and preserved speci - mens of strange animals opened up a new world to many biology students. ap John Broughton, Allen Hazlegrove, and George Thomas are intent upon an experiment in chemistry class. To improve their understanding of the flower, Sandra Judy and Larry Atkins examine a model acquired this year for the biology class. John Glenn receives help in advanced math from Miss Lucy Swink, a student teacher from Longwood College. Shirley Poulston, Patti Ownby, and Linda Broughton enjoy cooking in their home economics class. Here they are making cream puffs. Henry Morris and Edward Gardner, student teachers from V.P.I., supervise the work of Glenn McHenry and Wayne Clayton as they put the finishing touches on the trailer which they are making, Classwork A total of 187 projects were completed by boys studying agriculture. Two student teachers helped in this department. Cooking and sewing were the most popu- lar activities in the home economics classes, and even eighth grade students proudly wore blouses of their own making. In addition to usual work, business stu- dents for the first time organized their own Clubys theare Balas The dramatics class was not only a new class, but also a very popular one. Besides presenting one act plays before the student body and hel ping with the Senior Play, the class entered a play contest. No awards were won, but the experience gained was invaluable. g Mm Pat Lane and G.A. Higgins act parts in The Dust in the Road, a one act play presented by the dramatics class at Christmas, The typewriter looms large in the minds of typing students William Garnett and Skid Garrett. 24 Clubs Clubs are another source of challenge. By provid- ing a variety of interests, they offer the student new ways to broaden his world. The interests which he develops add variety and spice to his entire life. Or- ganized activities provide opportunities which chal- lenge the student to develop old talents, to discover new ones, to find new values, and to make treasured friendships. As he participates in club work he be- comes an efficient leader or an able follower. When the challenge of club work is met, the student finds new worlds opening before him. 25 SEATED: William Garnett, Rodney Wise, George Thomas, Bill Smith, Judy Peters, Janice Jones, Rose Barrett, Geraldine Stimpson, Julie Midkiff.

Latin Club Only those students currently studying Latin or those who have completed two years of Latin may belong to the Latin Club. First year members of the club developed projects dealing with Roman life and mythology and with the influence of the Latin language. These projects were displayed in the library. Other club students prepared a display for the Ides of March, while still other members com- piled a scrapbook of illustrations from maga - zines and newspapers which showed the use of Latin and Latin derivations in today's speech. The social event of the club year was a Christ- mas party. Peggy Harrison and Mary Ann Bryant discuss a dis- play which second year Latin Club members made in the library on the Ides of March.

Varsity Club The Varsity Club is made up of the out- standing athletes of C.H.S., each member being required to have received a letter in either football or baseball. The Varsity Club differs from most clubs in that not one, but every member of the club, is a known leader. Blue and gold award jackets were pur- chased with the proceeds from various fund-raising projects, Especially profita- ble among these projects were a car wash, the sale of schedule pens, and the sale of school supplies. Neal Smith and Billy Horst participate in one of the club's money -raising projects, a car wash. Lee Garrett purchases school supplies from Larry Latham as Norma Ziegler awaits her turn, od: Athletics The athletic field beckons to many, provid- ing yet another challenge for the student to face and accept. Character is built where loss presents an even greater challenge than suc- cess. The spectator as well as the participant learns to be strong and manly in defeat as well as gracious in victory. Sportsmanship, self- discipline, cooperation, and obedience become a part of the life of the student who faces the challenge of the athletic field. The rigid dis- cipline of training not only develops strong character, but results in a healthy body with which a student may better serve his world.

Each boy developed a fight - ing spirit that could not be overcome, and the team often outplayed the op- ponent who had the winning score. Everyone agrees that the Dukes are an ‘up and coming team of the near future. Scores as well as sta- tistics will show the fighting spirit of a winning team.

Minor Sports Since only a few students could partici- pate actively in major sports, minor sports were a necessity. The most popular of these were volleyball, soccer, basketball, and weight lifting. These sports not only provided many hours of pleasant, competi- tive recreation between groups et: Cerisow but they also provided an enjoyable way for boys and girls to keep physically fit. Special Activities The many memory -filled moments spent in spe - cial activities challenge the student to develop so- cially as well as intellectually. The traditional senior trip, the thrilling junior-senior prom, and the sol- emn hours of graduation are goals toward which he begins to work when he enters high school. Dramatic productions encourage him to develop talents, and homecoming encourages him to build loyalties. As he meets the challenge of these extra events, the Student receives rewards, both tangible and intangi- ble, for his faithfulness and accomplishment. Seo FRONT ROW: J, Pressell, J. Higgins, V.

Upon arriving at the destination, a disap- pointment faced the class, for it was discovered that because of a state din- ner the White House could not be visited. Enthusiasm was rapidly regained, however, as the group toured the Smith- sonian Institute. Although very tired by the end of the day, some of the mem- bers of the Class of '63 found strength to climb the fifty flights of the Washing - ton Monument. The return trip to Cumberland was marked by happy, singing students and sleepy chaperones.

As he enters into the activities of the community, he must meet these standards which become a part of his character. The help and encouragement which he receives from persons engaged in business challenge him to do his best and to become his best self. In turn, business - men find their challenge in giving quality service to the student and in gaining his respect, support, and patronage. 53 TAYLOR MANUFACTURING CO.

In appreciation we express our sincere thanks and promise to replenish you through our continued patronage. THE DUKE Staff The following persons have contributed the price of an ad toward the production of this annual but have permitted the Space to be used for school pictures: Herbert H. Goodman George G. Wilkerson R. S. Martin J. T. Williams R. H. Blanton A. E. Godsey J. A. Hazlegrove S. C. Patteson The challenge of another year has been met. Each student found success or failure in proportion to the willingn ess and determination with which he met the task before him. Personal growth was relative to the effort each one made to reach the goals set by the school. For most, there will be other challenging years at Cumberland High School; for the Seniors, as the doors of CHS close behind them, there remains only the challenge of a greater world.
