Consolidation creates a changed scene as students of all ages leave a bus to enter classrooms in the newly consolidated school at Cumberland. THE DUKE Vol. XX Published by CUMBERLAND HIGH SCHOOL Cumberland, Virginia 1965 a } ee . ancwnogteingas: PR oo tt aa il | ih. i Fi = “e = £ wrod Consolidation Brings Almost 700 students instead of the usual 225! Six new buildings! Sixteen additional teachers! These are but a few of the major changes that are the result of the closing of John Randolph and Hamilton elementary schools and the consolidation of grades one through twelve at Cumberland High School. A two year planning period, including an exténsive building program, prepared the way for the consolidation which was re- alized at the beginning of this school year. Resulting changes, both physical and emo- tional, have proved stimulating and have been met easily. It is the purpose of the staff of THE DUKE to show some of the many changes which have accompanied this consolidation.

Bellina Thompson asks as Nancy Burks, a sixth grade student, shows her the way. On the first day of school, Mr. Jimmy Kindle patiently directs first grader Joey Sutton to his classroom. Not being able to find the right bus at the end of the day is a tragic situation for Edward Atkins until Joyce Martin comes to his rescue. —_ Many New Facilities Afford Pleasure 43 4 we wih ee tad peers | ; Ba oe | At the side of the old high school building, Sarah Welchlin and Sylvia Asal sit on the new fire es- cape and have a pleasant chat with Larry Atkins. Kathy Fair, a fourth grade student, and Curtis Mc- Pherson, from the ninth grade, concentrate on their work in the new library which is used by all students. Will it get us there one more time? wonder Brad Vassar and Tony Mitchell as they inspect the motor of the temperamental army bus which was bought this year to transport team members to ball games. Patiently standing in line, Mike Boggs and Linnie Barr wait to pay for their lunches in the new cafeteria. New Experiences Face Many Students High school student Peggy Clark (with ball) gets her first experience at coaching and gives seventh graders Linda Sutton and Pam Shores their first experience at basket- ball when she helps with their physical education class. Drinking from the fountain in her new class- room is a novel and pleasant experience for Carolyn Higgins. Anne Ayers and Teresa Sloan are spectators at the very first basketball game ever held in Cumberland's new gym- nasium . An old landmark comes down, giving way to the changing face of a greatly enlarged campus. In the lobby of the recently completed administration building, Mr. Henry Morris, new vocational agriculture teacher; Mrs. Georgia Goodman, assistant principal; and Miss Geraldine Stimpson, sec- retary, look over the morning's mail. Entering the lobby of a new administra- tion building and finding a helpful secretary- receptionist on duty is indeed a pleasant change! Opening off the lobby of this build- ing are new Offices for the principal, assist- ant principal, and guidance counselor; and a nearby teachers' lounge is a pleasant retreat for a faculty increased from four- teen to thirty members. Attached to the gymnasium are new offices for the superin- tendent and the school board, and ample space has been provided for the storage of books and supplies. The increase in office space and the growth in the number of persons administering the affairs of the school are perhaps the most noticeable changes in administration. Consolidation Brings CHANGES In ADMINISTRATION Administration Faces Many New Problems With the first year of consolidation facing them, Superintendent E. A. Smith and the school board tackled such prob- lems as transferring teachers to one school, changing school bus routes, and revamping the budget to fit the new situation. Mr. Meredith Robeson began his second year as principal and faced a more than doubled student body. How- ever, he was given the help of a full time assistant principal, Mrs. Georgia Goodman. Mrs. Goodman had served as principal of Hamilton Elementary School before coming to Cumberland. Two new secretaries helped make the year run smoothly. Mrs. Pearle Irving left her job in Goochland County to be- come secretary to the superintendent and the school board, and Miss Geral- dine Stimpson, a 1964 graduate of Cum- berland, became the school's first full time secretary. As a result of the combined efforts of all of these persons, consolidation was accomplished more easily than Superintendent E. A. Smith gives instructions concern- expected f ing the payroll to his secretary, Mrs. Pearle Irving. In spite of the many tasks which she per- forms, Miss Geraldine Stimpson, school secretary, keeps on orderly desk. School Board members, Mr. R. C. Altizer, Mr. H. T. Harrison, and Mr. Charlie Goodman, puzzle over the school budget which has to be changed in many ways because of consolidation. MR. MEREDITH ROBESON Principal. MRS .

Many Teachers Work Toward Higher Degrees Finding teachers for the consolidated school was not a hard job since most of those who had been employed at Hamilton and John Randolph elementary schools wished to continue their work at the new school. Only Mrs. Aurelia Hazlegrove, Vii eninte tere, ARO who had formerly taught in the county, = Fourth Grade. was needed to complete the faculty for grades one through seven. In January, however, Mrs. Juanita Simonini joined the group to replace Mrs. Carolyn Baber who gave up her position because of family duties. Mr. Paul Thompson be- came an additional member of the high school faculty, while Mr. Henry Morris came as a replacement. Those who went to summer school or attended night classes in order to become better qualified for their positions were Mrs. Frances Hamlett, Mrs. Ruth Stimpson, Mrs. Dorothy Putney, Mrs. Robbie Whitlock, Mrs. Catherine w Garrett, Mr. Paul Thompson, and Mr. Jimmy Kindle. The latter received his master's degree in education in June. MRS . JUANITA E. SIMONINI teaches the sixth grade and one class of high school French.

Consolidation Requires Additional ale To prepare food for an expanded student body, Mrs. Louise Meinhard was given six helpers. These ladies worked in a new kitchen and each day fed approximately 500 students who ate in three shifts. Five students, Earl Kirby, Jimmy McPherson, C. T. Stimpson, Tony Mitchell, and Larry Atkins, helped with the job of transporting children to the school. Not a single school bus accident occurred during the year. Harold Gary served the school as A — custodian for the twentieth year. Be- cause of his increased work load, Mrs. Sip rne Be eG SetINC Ee cpisane asset i Alberta Carter was employed to help him with the cleaning tasks. Harold's ae importance to the school was fully re- ae alized when he broke his ankle just before the end of the school year. The accident occurred while he was mowing grass on the campus.

What delicious smells come from the kitchen when Mesdames Mary Nelson, Elizabeth Newman, Ruby Pressel, Edna Wise, Ruby Brown, Stella Bruce, and Louise ‘Meinhard prepare turkey for lunch! Mrs. Alberta Carter has just finished sweeping one of the covered walks. While seeking refuge from the rain, Seniors Jeannette Kirby and Peggy Harrison have their day brightened by a cheerful grin from Charlie Baber, a fourth grader who is attending the newly con- solidated school. Sharing the facilities of the consoli- dated school are members of a student body three times larger than any ever seen at Cumberland High School. From very young first graders to ''venerable Scie ae se from twelve school CHANGES buses to share the life of one school. Elementary students are housed in three new and separate buildings, but all stu- dents eat in one cafeteria, assemble in in one auditorium, and use one library. Adjusting to each other's presence has been surprisingly easy, and a spirit of mutual helpfulness and friendliness exists throughout the student body. STUDENT BODY Growth made by all students in toler- ance and cooperation has far outweighed any unpleasantness experienced.

As they go to lunch, Kathy Orange and Alfred Whaley add their books to the ones already stacked on the radiator in the downstairs hall of the big building. Calvin Hartley, a first grader who has injured his foot, receives sympathy from Carol Ingle. 42 Della Mendez and Mary Ann Bryant admire the handiwork of Mitzi Turner, a second grade student who, with her classmates, prepared the Thanksgiving bulletin board display in the library What a variety of classwork results from consolidation! While some students Consolidation Brings learn to read and write, others learn to translate Latin and prepare research papers; while some study about the dis- covery of America and learn to figure with CHANGES simple fractions, others delve into politi- cal theory and use synthetic division in algebra. A cooperative use of teachers and teaching materials in all twelve grades in- creases proficiency in classes, gives stu- in dents a wider variety of experiences, and enables new classes to be offered. New library quarters house books for ali twelve grades and inspire students to search more CLA SS WORK deeply for, knowledge and understanding as well as to read for pleasure. 43 French Makes Debut at Cumberland Buck Smith, Gary Wise, and Debbie Maples examine a sample layout for a page of a newspaper. Since Lois Watson made the articles for this bul- letin board, she finds Chaucer's Canterbury Tales especially interesting. As the result of a cooperative ex- change of teachers, Cumberland's students were exposed to the French language. The sixth grade teacher con- ducted one class in first year French Mon Dieu! Those French verbs! exclaims Rita ie ee cuales Faun Mie ee Taperino as she studies French with Nancy aay and school teacher taught Sri grade arith- Olivia Jenkins in the library workroom. metic. French proved popular with the students, and the program will be ex- panded in the future. Latin students read deeply in Roman customs, culture, and mythology. Modern novels with Greek or Roman settings were popular with these students, too. Four students represented the two Latin classes in the State Tournament. Senior English students emphasized the development of the English language and went to Richmond as a group to see the play, Oliver. In addition to usual requirements, other English students wrote and produced simple plays, made a study of journalism, and debated topics of current interest. All students were urged to go to Longwood College to see plays by well known authors. Using every spare moment, Diane Coffey, David Higgins, Betty Berger, and Carol Seay bone up for the State Latin Tournament. 44 New Class in Arithmetic Spurs Interest All mathematics classes stressed the use of correct terminology and newer methods. Synthetic division, the slope- intercept method of graphing equations, the use of the slide rule, and other time Saving practices became routine with students headed for college. For those entering the business world, a new class in business arithmetic proved interesting and useful. In science classes, more emphasis than usual was placed on collecting, identifying, and studying specimens of all kinds.

Learning to use the adding machine in bookkeeping class was a time saving skill which students found more accurate than the old method of computing, and shorthand proved use- ful in taking notes for other classes. Because of its excellent work in vo- cational agriculture, Cumberland was one of seven schools in Virginia chosen to train student teachers from VPI. Stu- dents in these classes used their knowl- Since Riley Wilson knows that accurate records are edge to build bleachers, erect stage essential to bookkeepers, he checks totals with the props, make playground equipment, con- adding machine. ; struct useful items for home and farm, and to keep accurate records of all work. In addition to usual projects, more advanced students of home economics entertained the School Board at a dinner and planned and furnished their dream houses, while eighth graders invited the teachers to tea. Other students made cookie trees for first graders at Christ- mas and decorated a tree for the cafe- tetia: At the dinner which they helped prepare, Shirley Poulston and Della Mendez serve Supt. E. A. Smith and School Board Member Charlie Goodman. As John Sullivan and David Hazlegrove work on lockers for the shop, they are closely supervised by Mr. Gray Bradford, a student teacher from VPI. Mr. Robert Bishop, a student teacher, helps Terry Spillman with a problem in agriculture. 46 Goldwater Wins in Mock Election During dress rehearsal for ''The Blue Teapot, Lee Garrett, Mary Ann Bryant, Nancy Rowsey, and Ernie Nuckols run through a difficult scene. Early in the fall, excitement ran high over the election of a President. Government students conducted a mock election, and the school voted substan- tially in favor of Mr. Barry Goldwater. A study of Cummunism and a detailed study of Virginia's government proved most interesting to these students. Other social science students made their studies come to life in drawings, posters, maps, and models. One act plays were the specialty of the dramatics class although it did help with the 3-act Senior Play. One play, The Blue Teapot, '' was presented before the Farmville Woman's Club. Although training in reading music and in music appreciation was offered only to students in the first seven grades, music played an important role in the life of the school. Musical pro- grams provided entertainment for PTA and Elementary SCA programs and gave elementary grades a means of raising money. Holding the model guillotine which he made, Henry Bradbury (center) displays his handiwork to fellow world history classmates, Brenda Hartley and Hugh French. Dottie Ownby plays the piano as the music teacher, Mrs. Ethel Southall, directs the singing in a sixth grade music class. Eighth graders Preston Dyson and John Greer hurry to finish their maps before civics class begins. 47 Central Library Serves all Grades One central library located in new quarters convenient to everyone served all twelve grades. Grades one through seven continued to have room libraries, but as the collection of elementary books in the central library increased, all students learned to use its facilities. Seniors often stared in open-mouthed wonder to see tiny first graders go confidently about the task of selecting books. Elementary teachers encouraged students to do their best in all sub- jects, but they placed special emphasis Charles Calhoun tries to identify parts of speech as he on reading, stressing phonics as part concentrates on the seventh grade English test. of the reading program. To make reports of their reading more interest- ing, fourth graders often dressed like characters in the books on which they were reporting. Real objects of art were often the result of art work classes conducted by home room teachers, and more artistic bulletin board displays were used to supplement work in all fields of study. Learning to write her name is a time-consuming but rewarding task for Yvonne Barnett, a first grader.

Serious study and earnest effort often bring tangible rewards. For the ten Jun- iors pictured on the preceding page it meant the opportunity to serve as Mar- shals at all graduation exercises. For Vivian Blanton, Barbara Singletary, Bill Korrow, and Jackie Robeson it. meant trips to Girls’ State and Boys’ State. Their trips were sponsored by local civic clubs. Andy Blanton's work in vo- cational agriculture enabled him to win the Seaboard Forestry Award in the Southside Virginia Area, while Riley Wilson won first place in the Piedmont Federation's public speaking contest. Carol Gayle Smith's consistently good work paid off when she won the $100 Farm Bureau scholarship at commence- ment, and Linda Foster was $5 richer when her essay entitled ''Lee's Retreat won the DAR historical essay contest. Carol Gayle Smith is proud of the Farm Bureau scholarship which she received at graduation. After winning the DAR essay contest, Linda Foster, a seventh grader, shows her paper to her history teacher, Mrs. Frances Ligon.

Of course a greater number of activities take place where there is a consolidation of students, but an even greater change occurs as a result of having more appropriate quarters in which activities can take place. The new cafetorium is an ideal spot for smaller dances, parties, and meetings, while the gymnasium affords an appro- priate setting for larger gatherings. The new library, with its adjoining conference room, provides space for club and com- mittee meetings. The auditorium, too, can be used for necessary activities since it no longer has to be used as a meeting place for physical education classes on rainy days. A change in the quality of any ac- tivity results when that activity is given a favorable setting. 51 Consolidation Brings CHANGES mn ACTIVITIES Elemen- SC'A Provides Money for Flag Poles As a result of a successful magazine campaign which the SCA conducted, two new flag poles will be installed. These poles have been ordered, and the United States and Virginia flags will soon be flying in front of the school. At the SCA sponsored Christmas pro- gram, students brought gifts which they sent to the Welfare Department for dis- tribution to needy families. This plan replaced the drawing of names and exchanging of gifts by students. Delegates of the SCA attended the district meeting in Crewe where Alice Putney led one of the group discussions. Janet Godsey was recording secretary for the group. Interesting SCA programs included a talk on boy-girl relationships by Rev. Cary P. Adams, of Farmville, and a panel discussion during American Education Week on the importance of education. One of the major accomplishments of the year was the establishment of a point system which would more evenly distribute offices and other leadership positions among students.

Not only do Beta Club members have to reach personal goals of scholarship, lead- ership, and character, but each one has to participate in a service project. Since con- solidation brought elementary students to the campus, Beta Club members helped them find their rooms, and all through the year they saw that small children boarded the right busses in the afternoons. At Christmas the whole school was more festive because of the door decora- tion contest which the Beta Club sponsored, and in the spring soft music in the cafeteria became the usual thing when the club bought a stereo record player and had it installed there. In addition, the club sponsored a Valen- tine Dance, entertained the Heart-of- Virginia Beta Federation, and showed their appreciation of all faculty members by presenting them with baskets of fruit. While enjoying refreshments, Peggy Harrison and Jimmy Nelson discuss Beta Club activities with Wilfred Rogers, of Appomattox, Pres. of the Fed- eration. 53 Duke Echo Staff Improves ae As Editor Barbara Singletary operates the mimeo- graph machine, Typist Della Mendez checks the quality of the finished product. With the aid of a new adviser, Mrs. Ruth Stimpson, the Junior Class pub- lished the school paper under the name of DUKE ECHO. Publishing the paper was quite a prob- lem since most of the staff members were unable to devote much time to newspaper work. In the middle of the year, Barbara Singletary replaced Jimmy Nelson as editor, and Lois Watson, Betty Bowles, and Mary Ann Bryant joined the Staite. In spite of the many problems, sev- eral improvements were made. The staff decided to use a heavier type of paper so that both sides of a sheet could be used. This enabled the Juniors to realize more profit from their paper. Also, for the first time, the newspaper carried elementary news items as well as the older features which dealt with high school life. Counting lines and spaces seems like an end- less task for Mary Ann Bryant, Make-up Editor. FRONT ROW: Jimmy Nelson, Della Mendez, Rita Taperino, Olivia Jenkins.

Plan the layout for page 54! Write copy for this page! Get money for that ad! Draw up 3-R forms! Crop these pictures! . . . Even at night these words plagued the subconscious minds of members of THE DUKE staff. Yet, when THE DUKE won a trophy at the SIPA convention for the second consecu- tive year, the staff decided that long hours spent on the annual are rewarding. Adding 24 pages to the book, using more pictures with captions in the ad section, getting correct spelling for names, and keeping up with happenings in an ele- mentary school were just a few of the tasks that kept Editor Peggy Harrison and her staff busy. How to pay for the additional pages and pictures was another problem, but Alice Putney and her help- ers raised more than $2000 to finance the expanded book. There was even enough money to have the name of the school put on the spine for the first time. Admiring the trophy which THE DUKE won at the SIPA convention in April are Assistant Busi- ness Manager Joyce Martin, Business Manager Alice Putney, and Copy Editor Mary Ann Bryant. Latin Club Invokes Gods at Banquet On the afternoon of April 6, at the invitation of the Latin Club, Dr. Graves Thompson, of Hampden-Sydney College, showed the entire student body color slides which he had taken in Greece and Rome. His interesting narrative along with the fascinating slides made these ancient lands come alive. Dr. Thomp- son also showed slides of the remains of the Roman conquest of England. The club held a Roman banquet in the cafeteria on April 12. After the guests entered the room, the gods were solemnly invoked. Following the meal, which consisted of everything AB OVA AD MALA (the Roman equivalent of from soup to nuts ), Gary Nuckols and David Higgins entertained with a gladia- tor fight. Guests also played a game similar to Spin the Bottle, the person selected performing a task such as one of the Twelve Labors of Hercules. Much research was done to make the banquet as authentic as possible, so the experience was educational as well as enjoyable.

Because of its well planned activities and outstanding accomplishments, the FBLA chapter was awarded an honor certificate at the state convention in Norfolk. At this convention Betty Bowles won a trip to Cincinnati for her excel- lence in spelling, and Becky Peters was second place winner in the public speak- ing contest. At the regional convention in Farm- ville, the chapter scrapbook received a Superior rating, while its bulletin board and Barbara Singletary's essay were voted outstanding. To stimulate interest in business careers, interesting programs were presented at monthly meetings. These programs included skits, demonstrations, and talks by business people. Since money was needed to finance activities, a dance was held. Some of the money was used for a weiner roast which all members of the organization enjoyed. Busily preparing for the weiner roast are Della Mendez and Ann Ziegler. 57 FFA Chapter Recewes Outstanding Rating It is not surprising that Cumber- land's FFA chapter was selected as the most outstanding chapter in the Pied- mont Federation. The chapter entered all federation contests, winning first or second place in each one. Members con- ducted weekly programs throughout the year over radio station WFLO. They sponsored dairy, beef, and swine chains and distributed over 350 pounds of seed for wild life borders. In addition to monthly meetings, the chapter held a Father-Son Banquet at which every mem- ber was present. Beautifying the school grounds was one of the most rewarding projects of the chapter. Members seeded the football field as well as the campus and set out pine trees around the grounds. DEGREE TEAM -- FRONT ROW: Greenhands Richard Blanton and Rex Marion.

Under the leadership of Anne Ayers, the FHA chapter adopted as its goal Making Virginia Safe and Beautiful. Chapter members decided to start carrying out their project by working within the school. They cleaned the girls’ dressing room and cleaned and cared for the sick room throughout the year. Special programs were held on safety and on making homes beautiful and livable. At a Parents' Night program, parents had the opportunity to sample delicious refreshments which their daughters had made as well as to see an interesting program. To raise money to send a delegate to the state convention and to take care of other needs, the chapter sold cook- books, sponsored a hootenanny and a dance, and held a bake sale. After the Parents’ Night program Anne Ayers, Chapter President, serves refreshments to Vivian Blanton who was chosen Outstanding Chapter Member for the year. ci ; : ’ 4 “ 59 Girls Enter Varsity Club for First Time Girls in the Varsity Club! This was indeed a change! With the advent of bas- ketball at C.H.S., girls at last hada sport in which they could win a letter and so could be members of the Varsity Club. The club profited from this change as the girls worked hard on bake sales and other money raising projects. With the money which they raised, members. of the club bought new jackets and sweaters. They also bought a television set which they gave to Ralph Boggs, a club member who was injured in football practice and had to leave school for the Gestion the year. The Varsity Club sponsored several alumni basketball and baseball games. These afforded great enjoyment for members of the community as well as school students and did much to cement good community-school relationships.

No longer could they retire at the end of football season, for Cumberland's new sport, basketball, required their Support. From September through March they followed the teams, putting forth every ounce of energy to encourage the players. In addition they conducted pep rallies, sold booster buttons, pre- pared programs for all football games, planned Homecoming exercises, and, in April, conducted Cumberland's first cheerleading clinic for girls in- terested in becoming future cheerlead- ers.

With money raised from a maga- zine sales contest, playground equipment was bought. Fourth grader Chip Mart in was high salesman in this contest. Junior Cheerleaders encour - aged interest in all school sports. They perfected many yells, cheered at Junior Varsity foot- ball games, and did several cheers at Homecoming. Special Activities Throughout Year Add Early in the school year Kathy Clay- well and Riley Wilson became FFA- FHA Sweethearts by popular vote of club members. They reigned over a dance held in the cafetorium for all students. In February Becky Peters and Danny Smith became King and Queen of Hearts at another school dance which was spon- sored by the Beta Club. A play entitled The Song of Glory replaced the usual Christmas pageant. The play was produced by the dramatics class. Since this was the year of the hoote- nanny, '' Cumberland had to have one, too. The Villagers, of Richmond, led this folk singing event. Later, seventh graders entertained with a different type of music when they presented an operetta.

The feeling of dancing ''In the Misty Moonlight ' was enhanced by fluffy white clouds overhead. Juniors had spent long but memorable hours creating the effect of clouds by suspending large para- chutes from the ceiling of the gym. Rig- ging up a fountain inside the building required much ingenuity, too. Early in the evening, Claudia Seay and Riley Wilson were crowned Queen and King of the Prom. During intermission Freddie Gamage sang the theme song and the Junior Class sang a farewell song to the Seniors.

With these words from the opening scene, Stage Manager Lee Garrett introduces the play. Advertising the play is an important function. Della Mendez, Publicity Chairman, places one of her posters in the cafeteria so that all students will know about the play. Excitement and anticipation marked the evening of April 30. After months of memorizing lines, making costumes, and planning lighting procedures, the cast was ready to present the Senior Play, Our Town. Written by Thornton Wilder, ‘Our Town centered around everyday life in a New Hampshire town called Grover's Corners. The audience alternately laughed and cried when the town gossip, the newspaper editor, the doctor, the professor from the univer- sity, the town drunk, the milkman, the constable, the undertaker, and many others appeared. Since the cast included about fifty individuals, Seniors received help from Juniors and Sophomores. Prof- its from the play, which was coached by Mrs. Dema Arehart, helped pay expenses of the Senior Class. From the balcony, Terry Spillman, Jeannette Kirby, and David Higgins adjust lights during dress rehearsal. Seniors Visit Washington on Class Trip Nancy Holmes and Mr. Henry Morris find the restaurant at the Wax Museum a delightful place to have dinner. Accompanied by Mrs. Barbara New- man and Mr. Henry Morris, excited Seniors boarded a chartered bus at 6:45 on the morning of Monday, May 24, and set out for a day of fun in Washington, D.C. Although they found the White House closed, and the play they had planned to see was not showing on Mon- day, they found many interesting things to do. The Smithsonian Institute proved most fascinating, and a visit to the zoo was fun. As usual, a few energetic mem- bers of the party climbed the steps to the top of the Washington Monument while others rode the elevator. Late in the day the group toured the National Historical Wax Museum where everyone was startled when the wax figure of Captain John Smith seemed to start breathing. After having dinner in Wash- ington, the party headed for home and reached Cumberland at 9:00 P.M.

Johnny Payne, who presided over the exercises, called on Jeannette Kirby to present gifts to the principal and faculty members who had given special service to the Seniors. Since Coach Bill Worrell was leaving the school at the end of the session, students presented to him an engraved plaque expressing appreciation for all he had done for the school. The program closed with a skit in which Seniors imitated their teachers as well as themselves and presented a typical school day. Principal J. Meredith Robeson receives from Jeannette Kirby a gift from the Senior Class. 69 Graduation Brings Foy and Sadness Mixed emotions show on the faces of Kippy Keller and Della Mendez as they line up to enter the auditoruim for the last time. On the morning of June 6 when Rev. Lloyd C. Judy preached the baccalau- reate sermon, Seniors began to realize that the joy of graduating was tinged with sadness, and by the evening of June 7, when commencement exercises were held in the school auditorium, tears were flowing freely. Dr. Francis B. Simkins, an authority on Southern history from Longwood College, delivered the com - mencement address. Tommy Moore and Alice, Putney received the coveted Ameri- can Legion and American Legion Auxil- iary citizenship medals. Peggy Harrison was awarded the Cartersville Ruritan Club character and religious leadership certificate, and Mr. Henry Morris an- nounced that Claudia Seay had received the DAR citizenship award at an earlier time.

Included in the dreams for consolidation was a gymnasium. The dream is now a reality, and Cumberland's students for the first time can experience all the thrills that a fine gymnasium can afford. Basketball has become a major sport, ranking in im- portance with football and baseball, and no longer do rainy days dampen the spirits of those who wish to engage in organized play. Track and field sports are other ad- ditions to Cumberland's growing roster of sports. Throughout all fields of athletics, cooperation and helpfulness prevail as high school students use their knowledge and skill to help direct the play of elementary students and to coach elementary teams. 71 Consolidation Brings CHANGES in ATHLETICS Varsity Football Team Surprisingly Viewed as a whole the Varsity Football season was a disappointing one with only three wins to the team's credit. Neverthe- less, the season did have its thri lls, and in sudden bursts of brilliant play: the Dukes showed their mettle. One rainy Saturday night they put forth supreme effort and defeated the Louisa Bulldogs who were then champions of Group II, District 2. To encourage good play, gold stars were awarded to players for outstanding performances during games. These stars were worn on the helmets. At the annual banquet, trophies were presented for outstanding play and leader- ship. Reginald Varner received the ''most valuable player award which was voted to him by his teammates. Jimmy Nelson received the outstanding player trophy; Bill Korrow, the best blocker trophy; and Billy Spillman, the most improv ed player award. Jackie Robeson and Elliott Irving don't mind tak- ing their turn on the bench as they are wearing new capes purchased with money donated by the alumni.

After two close games with Fluvanna, they lost a heartbreaker to Bucking- ham, losing only in the last thirty seconds of playing time. Later in the season the Baby Dukes defeated Prince Edward twice and then romped over Buckingham, proving that they were no longer a group of inexperienced boys, but a disciplined, closely-knit team of hard players.

No member of the team had played even one minute of organized basketball. This could be seen clearly in the first game, but as further games were played there was something else that was clear: a tremendous amount of improvement was being achieved week by week. This improvement led to victory in the last two games. As the team members learned to shoot, dribble, and play a sticky man-to-man defense, and combined this ability with a lot of hustle, '' they developed into a good team. If these boys continue to practice and put forth extra effort, there should be a winning varsity team in the near future.

As can be expected, new types of muscular coordination and team work had to be developed. Even though the number of boys to try out was small, they remained interested and practiced faithfully throughout the season. Scores may be an indication, but are by no means a true picture of the season's work. With the exception of three of the sixteen games, they were all well played, and at no time did the boys give up. In several cases the games were not lost until the final two minutes of playing time. Since the purpose of sports is not to win or to lose but to develop a sense of team effort, to encourage sportsmanship and a desire to do one's best, and, in- directly, to foster good citizenship, it is felt that the year has been entirely success- ful, Lee Garrett, No. 23, attempts to block a throw made by Larry Hite, Captain of the Bluestone Barons.

Track Team Ranks Sixth in District in Although this was the first year that Cumberland had entered organized track events and had an official coach, the school's record was not a bad one. At the end of the season, the school ranked sixth in the district. Reginald Varner placed first in the district competition in hurling the discus, while Ricky Laws placed second in both the discus throw- ing and in the shot put. Both of these boys represented the district in the state meet. SCORES First Meet: Cumberland 19 Midlothian 79 Second Meet: Cumberland 38 Blackstone 27 Victoria 45 Ran.

The record in district play was 9-1, while the record of all games played was 10-2. This was good enough to win the Western Division, District III, cham- pionship with room to spare. Three players, Terry Spillman, Hugh Vassar, and Tommy Moore, made the All Dis- trict Team. These and other outstanding boys led the team into a playoff with Bluestone High School. Unfortunately, Cumberland lost the first two games in this playoff. Not only the school, but also the community, felt great pride in this outstanding team. Terry Spillman's determination to hit the ball is evident. He ended the season with two home runs to his credit and with a .427 batting average.

Irvin Flippen, one of the proprietors of Flippen's Store, tells Alice Putney, Business Manager of THE DUKE, that he likes the informal ad which she is planning to use for his store in the 1965 edi- tion of the yearbook. Consolidation Brings In order to give a complete report of the activities of a greatly expanded school, a larger yearbook is needed. This requires much greater support from the usual ad- vertisers as well as additional help from CHANGES many new ones. Because the increased support of these advertisers deserves better service, the business staff of THE ; DUKE has changed the format of as many wn advertisements as possible. It is hoped that the less formal layouts, the deletion of harsh black lines, and the addition of many pictures with captions will make the adver- tising section of the annual more profitable AD VER TISING to the advertiser as well as more enjoyable to the reader. 83 84 David Goodman, a first grader, has already learned that the best way to save money for his college education is to deposit it in the CUMBER- LAND BANK.
