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.

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.
