DHE DURE Vol. XIX Published by. CUMBERLAND HIGH SCHOOL Cumberland, Virginia 1964 Cumberland Builds for the Future The roar of bulldozers, the clatter of hammers, the rumble of cranes, and the acrid smell of hot tar make it evident that Cumberland's building plans have progressed beyond the thinking Stage. Swirling dust or ankle deep mud, uprooted sidewalks, the appearance of large trucks unloading bulky materials, and the friendly greetings of strange workmen have become a part of the way of life at C.H.S. A long - dreamed-of gymnasium is almost a reality; a large and up-to-date cafetorium, a much needed guidance center, and a spacious library are fast taking shape; and three units of classrooms that will house ele- mentary students in the fall of 1964 are practically completed. Thus Cumberland builds for the future tangibly in order that the building of those in- tangible qualities which produce an intelligent and informed citizenry may be more effectively accomplished. In this book the staff of THE DUKE has tried to show both phases of Cumberland's build- ing program. the Administration the Curriculum . Indica |S oan ACELVILICS: thie.

Of all persons associated with C.H.S., Mrs. Ruby Brown has watched the building process more continuously than any other. Mrs. Brown began providing lunches for Cumberland students in 1937 when she was employed to work in a shed-like building and to prepare each day a big pot of soup which was sold for 5¢ a bowl. Later Mrs. Brown watched the building of the log cabin which is presently used as the school cafeteria. No one realizes more than she the vast improvement which the new cafetorium will be over the 1937 ''soup kitchen . ' Because Cumberland students are typical teen-agers, Mrs. Brown has listened to many complaints, but under- neath these there was always deep appre- ciation, and C.H.S. students wish now to express to her their thanks and love. 4 Cumberland Builds Through mm ADMINISTRATION The tools with which the student builds his academic future are provided by an administration which encourages each boy and girl to dig deeply in search of knowledge. Cumberland's $407, 000 building program will provide more adequate space and better tools with which to work. As the physical plant grows, the administration encourages the student to build character, that in- eredient without which an academic structure is an empty shell. In spite of the many headaches caused by the in- conveniences and unexpected problems of the construction program, the ad- ministration continues to provide the encouragement which the student needs to draw the clear, workable blueprint by which his life will be built. Naked ribs of the future guidance center give promise of expanded service in roomy quarters. Mrs. Lolita Smith, Guidance Counselor, helps Pat Lane make a decision concerning the college she will attend next year. School board members H. C. Altizer, H. T.

Administration Supervises Expansion Mr. J. Meredith Robeson is the new principal of Cumberland High School. Finding a new principal for C.H.S. was an additonal task faced by the superintendent and the school board while they were in the midst of making momentous decisions concerning the building program. Mr. Meredith Robeson, who had served pre- viously as a teacher at Prince Edward Academy, in-Farmville, proved to be the man brave enough to guide the school through its year of physical expansion. Mrs. Frances Hamlett, the only new faculty member, became head of the busi- ness department of the school. She attended VPI last summer where she worked on her master's degree in business education. Mrs. Catherine Garrett and Mr. Jimmy Kindle continued work on their master's degrees by attending night classes at Longwood College. Mrs. Mary Musulin, secretary to the superintendent and the school board, announced that she will give up her position at the end of June to move with her family to Charlottesville. wd { ve?

The cafeteria ladies provided tasty and nourishing food which enabled students and teachers to hurdle more effectively the obstacles faced on the campus and in the classrooms. Harold Gary, custodian for many years, kept the school plant as clean as possible under the circumstances and performed other tasks too numerous to mention. Mr. Homer Simile and Joe Brooks continued their ex- cellent work in the school garage and supervised certain jobs of construction as well. Mr. Carl Matthews became a new member of the bus-driving crew, and Earl Kirby, for the second year, helped to transport his fellow students to school.

SCHOOL B 7 US fy) STATE LAW. | Cumberland Builds Through the CURRICULUM It is in the classroom that the stu- dent must be especially careful to lay a solid foundation in order that his academic structure will be strong and true. Here the habits of learning, thinking, and investigating are cemented; here the bits of accumulated knowledge become building blocks of future structures. To encourage the student to build well, a large library is being constructed, thus freeing space in the main building for an extra class- room. Another large classroom is be- ing provided in the gymnasium, a well equipped audio-visual center is being planned, and the lighting of all rooms will be improved. In such an environ- ment, each student will find a greater incentive to lay his academic foundation soundly. Large windows will fill the gaping spaces in this building which will house the library. Julie Midkiff and Geraldine Stimpson select books for parallel reading. Various Projects and Activities Make we gate eee haamws| ye mad Oe i cS ’ fn — Doing some last minute studying for the Latin tournament are Anne Ayers (SEATED), Janice Jones, Lee Garrett, and Rodney Wise. Caesar couldn't possibly have done that! With this statement Latin students flew to atlases to check Caesar's veracity. Campaigns came alive as students read for meaning as well as skill in using the language. Four students represented the two Latin classes in the state-wide Latin Tournament. Debating was a popular activity for eleventh and twelfth grade English stu- dents, and writing research papers gave them a preview of college work. In all English classes recordings were used to enhance the enjoyment of literature, and Skill in writing was stressed. As they tried to find space to shelve 200 new books, ten student librarians dreamed of the ample space which the new library will afford. In preparation for its removal to the new building, the marble slab on the bar'' was cleaned and polished. Carol Harlan admires sketches which Carolyn Single - tary made in the twelfth grade English class to illustrate characters from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. SEATED at the library desk are student librarians William Garnett and Alice Putney. The other librarians are Claudia Seay, G eraldine Stimpson, Anne Ayers, Alma Bryant, Sylvia Asal, Aline Ownby, Sandy Judy, and Mary Ann Bryant. 10 Classwork More Meaningful for Students Nancy Agee, Nancy Simanske, Mary Frances Allen, and Michele Jones work on a model of the Parthenon for their world history class.

Proper enunciation received major emphasis as the dramatics class perfected three one act plays: ''The Perfect Gentle- mane balcony scene, -and Rich Man- Poor Man. In the latter, dialects were spoken, and the play was such a success that it was presented before two civic groups.

Term papers were required of U.S. history students. In business education classes, students le arned to take dictation at the rate of 100 words a minute, to keep accurate records, and to type 65 words a minute. In their study of automation, they found data pro- cessing machines and punch cards in- teresting.

Biology students June Barker and Ralph Bogge study microscopic animal life. Care in the use of expensive and po- tentially dangerous equipment and supplies was stressed in all the science classes as students performed experiments, made dissections, and learned to use the micro- scope. Through home projects boys put into practice the latest methods of raising livestock, producing crops, and keeping records which they learned in agriculture classes. In the shop they built pig feeders, gates, tables, and bird houses. Kippy Keller and Andy Blanton build bluebird , Something's burning! Perhaps one cake houses in an agriculture shop class. did scorch; nevertheless, girls learned the Skills of cooking, sewing, furniture refin- ishing, home nursing, and budgeting in home economics classes. New terminology entered the classroom as the mathematics department was brought up to date with the adoption of new text- books. Space geometry became an integral part of plane geometry, and slide rules became familiar tools in advanced math. William Russell Garnett helps Bill Horst explain the operation of the slide rule to the algebra - trig class. 12 Serious Study Brings Rich Rewards Being faithful in preparation of class- work is rewarding in many ways. Scholastic letters were awarded to any Senior of Junior whose high school average on all subjects was 95 or above. Four Seniors and two Juniors wore these letters proudly on white jackets or sweaters. Ten Juniors whose average was above 90 were given the privilege of serving as Marshalls for graduation. Because of excellence in scholar- ship, citizenship, and achievement, Rodney Wise, Senior Class Valedic- torian, received the coveted Balfour Keve Regular class attendance is essen- tial to academic achievement. At Class Day exercises 27 students received perfect attendance certificates. Special recognition was given William Russell Garnett for having a perfect attendance record for his entire five years at Cumberland High School. Scholastic letter winners Alice Putney, Taffy Stimpson, and Claudia Seay admire the letters which Bill Smith, William Garnett, and Rodney Wise have already placed on their jackets. Because he has a five-year perfect attendance record, William Garnett receives special recognition from Mr. Meredith Robeson. Junior Marshalls are (FRONT ROW) Carol Smith, Claudia Seay, Peggy Harrison, Lois Watson, Mary Ann Bryant, and (BACK ROW) Tommy Moore, Alice Put- ney, John Barnes, Linda Broughton, and Johnny Payne. Mr. Jimmy Kindle presents Cumberland's first Bal- four Award to Rodney Wise. 13 Hard Work Pays Off for Many After the FFA public speaking contest, Earl Kirby, who won second place in the school, congratulates the winner, Riley Wilson. The expressions on the faces of Janice Jones, Mary Ann Bryant, Rodney Wise, and Pat Lane is proof of the pride they feel in having won first place for C,H. S. in district competition. Entering a District Forensic Meet was a new experience for Cumberland students, but they totaled enough points to win the trophy. Janice Jones and Rod- ney Wise won first place in girls’ and boys' prose reading. Pat Lane was first in poetry reading, and Mary Ann Bryant was second place winner in the At the commencement program Mr. Garland Clements, spelling sree ; : ‘ i Secretary of Farm Bureau, presents Billy Horst a check ited studying public speaking Riley for $100 to be used in furthering his education. Wilson became FFA Federation winner and third place winner in the Area. Winning the Farm Bureau check for $100 was thrilling for Bill Horst. He was chosen for this honor because of his outstanding work in high school. Alice Putney and Riley Wilson, members of the Junior Class, were selected by American Legion Auxiliary and the Ruritan Club to represent the school at Boys' and Girls’ State. Congratulating each other at the Class Day exercises are Riley Wilson and Alice Putney who will represent the school at Boys' and Girls’ States. 14 Cumberland Builds Through e INDIVIDUALS The individual in the student body furnishes the raw material for the building of a successful, useful life. Because of his exposure to many different personalities, each student learns to make adjustments, to evaluate qualities, and to practice tolerance. Daily contact with many individuals helps him to learn to respect the rights of others, to develop a pleasing personality, and to establish friendships which he will cherish throughout his life. From the athletic field to the chemistry lab, each boy and girl is enriched by constant exposure to differing ideas advanced by many students. The raw material of his life is shaped into a mature individual capable of facing the future more con- fidently. The many walkways, like the unpainted one shown here, provide pleasant gathering places for students. Janice Jones and Wayne Clayton take a few minutes outofa busy day's schedule to chat be- neath the new covered walkway. Seniors Enjoy Extra Privileg Being a Senior isn't all work.

Looking forward to a dance, a party, or a trip causes a tingle of excitement and keeps spirits up when the work of building an academic structure tends to bog down with monotony. The sparkle of pleasant ac- tivities brightens the day and enables the student to face his task with re- newed zest. A part of the new physical plant which will be used for club meet- ings, socials, dances, and other ac- tivities is a large cafetorium with re- movable tables and chairs. The trimmings provided by activities are indeed a memorable part of building a beautiful, graceful structure for life. A new door for the almost completed cafetorium is being prepared for hanging by workman Richard Lee. | THE DUKE Staff Receives SIPA Trophy Excitement could not be contained when the five students attending the Southern Interscholastic Press Asso- ciation at Washington and Lee Univer- sity on May Ist and 2nd learned that THE DUKE of 1963 had won a trophy. THE DUKE competed with yearbooks from 33 schools and scored 963 points out of a possible 1, 000. With an already strained budget and an overworked staff, Editor Bill Smith decided that THE DUKE needed eight additonal pages and newspaper-type headings . Chaos and confusion reigned William Garnett asks advice of Editor Bill Smith and for a while! Soon, however, William his assistant, Peggy Harrison, about an item in his Garnett and his helpers not only raised ledger. the necessary funds, but also left money in the treasury to begin next year's book; and counting characters for headings became as routine as cropping pictures. Changing to a non-glare paper and giving more space to pictures of in- dividuals were other improvements made in THE DUKE, . eens Nearly bursting with pride, William Garnett, Alice Putney, Bill Smith, Mary Ann Bryant, and Peggy Harrison admire the SIPA trophy which they have just received for THE DUKE of 1963.

DUCHESS Staff Improves School Paper Throughout the year the DUCHESS, literary companion of THE DUKE, tried its best to please its readers by respond- ing to their interests in printing the seven issues of their school newspaper. The installation of the ''Duchess Box in the library provided an easy means of contributing suggestions and articles to the paper. The DUCHESS printed editorials, literary work, puzzles, and some trivia. The staff, elected from and by the Senior Class, began the year with a trip to a state newspaper clinic held at the Uni- versity of Richmond. Many ideas were learned there which helped the staff to Typists Phyllis Griffin and Ann Calhoun hurry to make improvements in the DUCHESS meet a deadline. throughout the year. Cutting gossip to a minimum and encouraging better writ- ing did much to raise the standards of the paper. Proofreading was done by Mrs. Barbara Newman. Working at one of his many tasks as editor, Rodney Wise runs off the latest edition of the DUCHESS on the duplicating machine. 33 BLA Installs New Chapter at Buckingham Through the FBLA, business stu- dents tried to prepare themselves more fully for entering the business world. Dr. Woody Tucker, Assistant Prof. of Busi- ness Education at RPI, talked to them about the importance of speaking well, and at another meeting two representatives of a department store discussed proper dress for business. Several members attended a workshop in Richmond, and the chapter as a group toured places of business in Richmond. The chapter felt that it had matured considerably when it was invited to install a new chapter at Buckingham Central H.S. At the Longwood FBLA Rally, Pat Lane won second place in the regional public speaking contest. She and several others attended the state con- vention in Roanoke where she participated in the state public speaking contest. FBLA members also listened to a Pat Lane, FBLA President, presents to Darlene representative from a business school Duty the charter for Buckingham's new chapter. and sponsored a Harvest Ball for CHS students. ee FRONT ROW: P, Lane, N.

Fowl, eggs, vege- tables, fruits, nuts, and round loaves of Roman bread were eaten with knives or fingers, and each guest was bounti- fully supplied with bowls of wine (punch) from which he drank toasts proposed by Bill Smith who was chosen ‘rex bibendi by the casting of dice. Associate members entertained the group with dancing, and Judy Broughton, Diane Coffey, and Bill Smith were winners in the costume parade. Since much research went into the planning of the banquet, members learned while having a good time.

This organization, which recognizes leadership, scholarship, and achievement, undertook at least one service project each month. Outstanding among these was the hanging of colorful new prints in the classrooms where dusty, stained pictures had hung for many years. Members of the club cleaned the trophy case, replaced 42 light bulbs on the stage, contributed food and toys to the Welfare Department, observed teacher-appreciation week, and sponsored a Valentine Dance for the enjoyment of the school. Twelve members of the club attended the state convention in Roanoke and presented an original skit in the talent contest there.

Secretary Julie Midkiff and President Bill Horst are busy at the job. Busy Cheerlead ers Strengthen Spirit Practicing at least twice a week, prepar- ing pep rallies, decorating goal posts, keep- ing uniforms neat and clean, preparing and selling football programs, and helping to train younger cheerleading groups kept the Varsity Cheerleaders and their sponsor, Mrs. Elizabeth Gilliam, busy every minute of football season. In addition to usual ac- tivities, they planned and decorated for Homecoming and served the football banquet. Becky French, Linda Broughton, and Kathy Orange attended Cheerleading Camp at Vir- ginia Beach and brought back many ideas for improving performance. Perhaps the most Head cheerleader Becky French presents a gift Significant contribution of the Cheerleaders from her squad to Mrs. Elizabeth Gilliam, was cementing the student body into a ete purposeful group by reinforcing and strengthening school spirit.

Members of the club sold sweat shirts and light bulbs in order to continue the club's policy of paying for these jackets with club funds. In addition to these money- raising projects, the club decided to wear ties and white shirts to school on the day of a game. This not only pro- vided recognition for team members, but also improved the appearance of the student body. Jerry Payne and the Varsity Club's President, Fred Shumaker, unpack the new blue and gold sweat shirts and wonder how many sales they can make. 39 FFA Degree Team Wins in Federation ES Study and drill produced an FFA wh Se : = = Degree Team that won first place in = . the Piedmont Federation competition and third place in the Southside Area. The boys comprising this team had to be experts in parliamentary procedure and in their knowledge of FFA ritual. Other interesting activities were a father-son banquet, a chicken barbecue supper held jointly with the FHA for members and parents, a talent show, a radio program, anda public speaking contest. Members of the chapter seeded wild life borders, exhibited in the Five County Fair, and entered all federation contests.

Association of FHA climaxed a year of worthwhile activities for the Cumberland FHA Chapter. To win this award the chapter had to pro- mote exceptional growth of its members in family life and in citizenship. In connection with this work Geraldine Stimpson, Marie Barr, Ann Calhoun, Gloria Hamlett, and Alice Putney re- ceived their State Homemaker's De- grees. Alice Putney was also chosen by vote of her fellow members as Out - standing Chapter Member. One of the most interesting meetings of the year included a talk on family life in Germany by Hedwig Borries, a teenager from that county. Other activities of the chapter were the preparation of a fair booth and the presentation of a radio program. Parents’ Night was observed with a a gabcamesy program and a reception, and a dance and a barbecue supper were held.

Senvors Make Trip to Tidewater Virginia On May 8 the Senior Class took its eagerly awaited bus trip to Tidewater Virginia. Although the destination was the new Chesapeake Bay Bridge -Tunnel, the class enjoyed stops at other places. At Jamestown the Glasshouse and replicas of the ships and old fort proved interesting. After a stop at the Visitors’ Center in Yorktown, a leisurely tour was made of the Mariners' Museum in New- port News. Traveling via the Hampton Roads Tunnel the group journeyed next to Virginia Beach.

Since the cast was large, a number of Juniors as well as members of the dramatics class helped with the play which enriched the treasury of the Senior Class by $85.00. The money was used to help pay for the Senior stile.

Star shaped candle holders, gold and sil- ver stars, and an evening sky created with lavender, purple, and white crepe paper all helped to carry out the theme of Stardust. Hiding in the greenery at the base of each candle were tiny china elves which were given to the Seniors as favors. The shiny new floor of the gym and the music of the Moon- shiners complemented the many fea - tures which made the evening a mem- orable one. By vote of the JuniOoLeClassr Carolyn Singletary and Larry Latham presided over the festivities as Queen and King.

Second in line is Gloria Hamlett. I didn't think I'd feel sad about this was the thought filling the minds of most Seniors as they filed into the auditorium on Class Day. Somehow the expected feeling of elation just was not there! Throughout the impressive SCA installa - tion service thoughts remained serious, but when Fred Shumaker read the class will and Kris Frayser delivered the class prophecy, spirits reached their normal level again. After Joyce Baker presented a five-year history of the class, gifts were presented to several faculty members for their service to Seniors. The-balance in the class trea- sury, approximately $150, was given to the library for the purchase of books. That's a good one! Kris Frayser laughs with the audience over a humorous bit of the class prophecy. Bill Smith and Fred Shumaker enjoy the joke too. 47 Graduation Climaxes 12 Years of Work In the busy moments before the Seniors take their place in line, Mrs. Elizabeth Gilliam helps Geraldine Stimpson with the collar on her gown. Baccalaureate speaker Rev. Thomas E. Goad accepts compliments on his sermon from Joyce Baker and David Black. Smiling happily because of their citizenship awards are Janice Jones, Bill Smith, and Julie Midkiff, Amidst the solemnity of graduation, caps just wouldn't go on straight, a pin couldn't be found to hold a collar in place, and even Salutatorian William Garnett and Valedictorian the diplomas weren't in the right spot! But Rodney Wise talk with commencement speaker to the audience the baccalaureate service Dean D. R. Ortner. . and the commencement exercises were per - fect. The Rev. T. E. Goad, grandfather of Class President Joyce Baker, delivered the baccalaureate sermon, and the commence- ment address was given by Dr. D. R. Ortner, Dean of Students at Hampden Syd- ney College. A highlight of the graduation exercises was the awarding of citizenship medals to three Seniors who were chosen for the awards by the vote of their class - mates and of the teachers. The medals were furnished by the Daughters of the American Revolution, The American Legion, and the American Legion Auxiliary. 48 Cumberland Builds Through ATHLETICS It is on the athletic field that body building and character building disci- plines produce the sturdy timber with which a s tudent's life structure is built. The ability to lose proudly, to win hum- bly, to play fairly, and to recognize good sportsmanship even in an opponent are materials of the athletic field which grace any life. Physical well being, which is produced by hard play, is essential if work is done well. With the leveling of a new playing field and the completion of a new gymnasium, Cum- berland's athletic program will be ex- panded; and with more effective physical education classes, even stronger tim- ber will be produced for the building of more effective life structures. While still in the early stages of construction, the new gymnasium and its adjacent physical education classroom cause students to look forward eagerly to next year's athletic program. During batting practice Riley Wilson waits for the pitch as Fred Shumaker gets ready to receive the ball, Complete Varsity Football Story According to Coach Bill Worrell, in- juries to key personnel and a lack of sub- stitutes prevented the Dukes from having a winning season. Almost every member of the team missed one or more games because of an injury. Woody Southall, who received honorable mention as all-district fullback, played only six games before he broke a leg in practice. He gained 605 yards for an average of 7.6 yards per Cariyy, At the annual banquet, five boys re- ceived recognition for their outstanding Co-captain ‘Larry Latham stands by while Co-cap- z aS tain Bill Horst points out a defensive play to be play and hard work during the season. used in the next game.

IV's Brighten Hopes for Varsity The Junior Varsity Dukes made the open- ing of the season a pleasant one by downing Buckingham 13-7 before a crowd of sup - porters who battled stormy weather to watch them play. Freddie Rousch made especially good gains around the ends dur- ing this game and climaxed his performance during the last 38 sec. of play by running back a punt of 40 yds. Under the leadership of Mr. Jimmy Kindle, these eighth and ninth grade boys molded themselves into material which helped to build a stronger athletic program in the entire school. When they met Buck - ingham in their second and last game of the season, their winning score of 13-0 reflected their growth. Keeping in shape is an important part of football training.

At the end of the fifth inning in the game with Huguenot Academy, Vivian Blanton, Scorekeeper Becky French, and June Barker check the score. Lack of experience and an insufficient number of players resulted in a winless season for the girls’ softball team. Fre- quent spring rains kept the playing field muddy and hampered practice. Neverthe - less, the girls had a good time, and what they lacked in ability they made up for in spirit and good sportsmanship. Co-cap- tains of the team were Nancy Holmes and Becky French.

In three games extra innings were played to break tied scores. Probably the most exciting game of the year was played with Buckingham Central. When Butch Price relieved pitcher Tommy Moore at the bottom of the seventh inning, the score was 4-4, and soon the bases were loaded. With a count of three balls, the Buckingham batter swung and held up, and the umpire sent him to first base giving Buckingham the winning run. After a conference, however, the um- pires decided the batter had swung, and they sent the runner back to third, thus giving Cumberland the opportunity to win the game. Batters with the highest averages for the year were Reginald Varner, Butch Price, and Hugh Vassar with .406, .308, and .301 respectively. At the end of the season the Dukes had an overall record of 8-6, and they ranked third in the Northern Division Seni socnearcaa bag iu, ie say fie is, AL. . ruce Matthews prepares to board the school bus which of Gr oup 2, District 3. takes the baseball squad to the playing field.

Injured muscles find relief in the hot water of the whirl- pool. Here Wayne Clayton receives treatment. Since a relatively small proportion of the student body compose the varsity teams, many boys and girls found an outlet for their energies through the physical educa- tion department's program of minor sports. Among the most popular of these sports were touch football, softball, volleyball, soccer, weight lifting, and wrestling. Just before the end, of the year the new gymnasium became usable, and although the season for basketball was past, many learned the rules of the game and enjoyed contests within their classes. A whirlpool donated by the Farm Bureau was a great asset since sore and pulled muscles could be treated at the school. Lee Garrett shoots for a basket as Jerry LeVasseur, his teammate, eagerly awaits the result. 56 Cumberland Builds Through BUSINESS CONTACTS Business men and women of the com - munity furnish the support which is necessary for any undertaking. Without this support Cumberland would have no physical building program. There would be no football team, and THE DUKE could not be published. These friends not only furnish the necessary financial support but they provide encouragement, an ingredient often more valuable than money. As the student contacts these business people he learns about their world and strives to meet their stand - ards. He is inspired because they give of themselves and their means gener - ously and unselfishly. He resolves to build his economic structure financially secure and to develop that kind of character which will make him an asset in any community.

It is hoped that this book will be pleasing to all. 79 Ended Temporarily, Cumberland’s Building Program SETVUES DE ROW Tae Hammers are silent, bulldozers and cranes have moved away, and busy workmen no longer crowd the campus. Cumberland's expansion program is finished, and handsome new buildings stand ready for use next fall. Books, too, are closed, desks are empty, and chairs are placed neatly under tables. Another year of building mentally, morally, physically, and socially is ended. For most students the building process will continue next year, but for thirty-three Seniors, the time for building lives at Cumberland High School is finished. The success with which they face new tasks, new obliga- tions, and new responsibilities in new surroundings will prove how substantially Cumberland builds for the future. A completed library building waits to be filled with books and with the sound of busy students eae ENB. Having made their lives structurally sound at Cumberland, G. A. Higgins and Becky French face the future with confidence. 80
