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.

Mrs. Brown Serves Cumberland 27 Years Mrs. Ruby Brown takes a pan of her famous hot rolls from the oven. 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
