THE DUKE 1967 Cumberland High School Cumberland, Virginia Volume XXII (ABOVE) As seen through the archway at 2:50 in the afternoon, elementary students begin heading for their buses. (BOTTOM CENTER) Leaving their buses, students climb the steps and start toward their classrooms. (TOP CEN- TER) Cumberland High School stands quiet, awaiting the arrival of the stu- dents. (FAR RIGHT) Mary Beth Heath and Mike Scales, with books in hand, leave school. From the youngest student to the ab- lest administrator, each person realizes a need to keep in step with life in the pres- ent time. Changing that part of the old which is outmoded and grasping that of the new which is useful keeps a school, or any group, moving ahead steadily and stably. At Cumberland High School, a be- lief in these ideals of progress is evident. Thus, the staff of The Duke has en- deavored to take part in this transition through advances in the style of the book itself and through additional coverage of all aspects of life at Cumberland High School. , se Administration Individuals Activities Athletics Advertisements CONTENTS 10 18 48 70 86 Changes Reflect i al sete eS ee ROE se het iota (ABOVE) Working on draperies, Janet Godsey helps to decorate the newly-completed home economics building.

Under the su- pervision of the school administration, the construction of new home economics facilities and plans for a larger science de- partment have clearly demonstrated to all the forward motion of education in Cumberland County. Eric Robinson Accepts School Board Post The death of Mr. R. C. Altizer, who repre- sented the Randolph District on the school board, necessitated the appointment of another school board member. Serving for over 22 years, Mr. Altizer worked long and hard to maintain the highest standards for Cumberland County Schools, and he will be missed by all. Replacing the late Mr. Altizer was Mr. Eric Rob- inson, who took office on November 5, 1966. Mr. Robinson graduated from Cumberland High School and Longwood College. Other members on the board are Mr. Charlie Goodman and Mr. H. T. Harrison. Superintendent E. Armstrong Smith reported that the application for federal assistance under Title | of Public Law 89-10 had been approved. This assistance will enable the board to provide for in-service training of personnel. Funds from this grant will also be used for instructional equipment which will include television and audio-visual material. Superintendent E. A. Smith, school board secretary Mrs. Pearl Irving, and Mr. Eric Robinson enjoy the school board dinner pre- pared by the home economics students and served by Anne Ayers. Checking absence reports and preparing the day’s announcements are always the first tasks for Mrs. Geraldine Sanderson, school secre- tary. A busy afternoon awaits scnool board members H. T. Harrison and Charlie Goodman and E. A. Smith, superintendent, at their regular meeting. 12 Assistant Librarian Joins Staff MR. J. MEREDITH ROBESON Principal MRS. GEORGIA P.

MARGARET RUCKER SCOTT April 8, 1905—March 6, 1967 Associated with Cumberland schools for over fifteen years, Margaret Rucker Scott came to the county in 1951 as principal of John Randolph Elementary School. She served in this position until the consolidation of the county schools in 1965, at which time she became a fifth-grade teacher in the consolidated elemen- tary school. Mrs. Scott’s dedication to the highest princi- ples of her profession brought her the respect and the admiration of all who knew her. Pos- sessing a strong Christian character, she helped those in need, pupils and teachers alike. Her life might be characterized by this creed which was carefully marked in a book on her desk: ‘‘l do not choose to be a common man; it is my right to be uncommon, if | can.”’ 15 Teachers Assist in Special Projects = ee Summer classes and institutes again attract- ed many teachers. Those who attended were Mr. Paul Thompson, Mrs. Patricia Hamlett, Mrs. Mary Joyce, Mrs. Juanita Simonini, Mrs. Ethel Southall, and Miss Annie Stimpson. Mrs. Robbie Whitlock received her B.S. degree in education, and Mrs. Dorothy Putney received her cer- tification in library science. Congratulations were extended to Mrs. Bar- bara Newman, who became President Elect of District D, Virginia Education Association. Second graders listen attentively as Mrs. Dorothy Putney, librarian, tells them a story. These stories acquaint students with literary characters and create an interest in reading. MRS. LOLITA C.

Through them, students are able to achieve the satisfac- tron of participation and gain worthwhile experience. In each club or activity, an effort is also made to encourage lead- ership. In these ways, activities enrich the school program while providing enjoyable experiences for the individual. SCA Provides Poster Paints A view of Nepal from the camera of a Peace Corps volunteer with a narration by Mrs. Dema A. Johns, a former teacher at Cumberland, was one of the most interesting programs presented by the Student Cooperative Association. The SCA also sponsored a program on teacher ap- preciation and celebrated White Christmas by bringing gifts for the local welfare department. Profits from the annual magazine campaign made possible the purchase of special paints for signs and posters. These materials were made available for the clubs and athletic teams to pub- licize their activities. “Dare To Act Now!”’ was the theme of the SCA Convention in Charlottesville. Representing Cumberland at this meeting were Janet Godsey, Randal Phillips, and Mrs. Elizabeth Gilliam, ad- viser. Diane Joyce, Brenda Dowdy, and Mary Kenny watch as Mrs. Elizabeth Gilliam receives a key from Randal Phillips. These keys were given to each teacher as a token of the students’ appreciation.

To commemorate Teacher Appreciation Month, the Beta Club supplied each high school teacher with a kit containing necessary everyday teaching items and made a poster which was displayed at the annual Teachers’ Banquet. A dance held on April 14 and a bake sale held on November 19 were two money-making pro- jects sponsored by the Beta Club. Mrs. Mary E. Allen, adviser, and several of the members attended the annual Beta Club Con- vention in Richmond on March 17 and 18. By attending meetings and special classes, the del- egates met and exchanged ideas with other stu- dents from the many different schools repre- sented.

More emphasis was also placed on the use of pictures to tell the story of the school year. Nevertheless, being on hand to get a good picture, working over copy and preparing 3-R forms were some of the routine tasks that remained the same. Upon receiving a first place rating on the 1966 edition of The Duke at the Southern Interscholas- tic Press Association meeting held at Washington and Lee University on April 1, the staff members seemed to gain just the confidence and inspira- tion they needed to strive for even higher goals. Thus, with staff members using every available moment to work on their assigned tasks, page- by-page progress was made toward the com- pleted yearbook. Claire Dowdy, The Duke editor, checks a page that Betty Ber- ger has just finished typing. Underclassmen Work on Duke Echo Staff Formerly sponsored and largely staffed by members of the junior class, the Duke Echo be- came an independent school activity. This change enabled underclassmen to join the staff and par- ticipate more fully in newspaper work. Since the Duke Echo was widely circulated in both the elementary and high school, the staff had the challenge of preparing a paper that would be interesting for both groups of students. Not only were accounts of special school events, sports ac- tivities, and club reports a part of the Duke Echo but also included were classroom news and class- room activities. Shirley Speas and Mary Frances Allen proofread the stencils for the latest edition of the Duke Echo.

The chapter forestry team placed second in the federation contest, and Rich- ard Blanton won top honors in the public speaking contest. As a federation winner, Rich- ard will continue to the area competition. The chapter degree team also took first place at the federation level. Locally, the chapter has undertaken many projects. Such projects as building farm gates and repairing the high school track hurdles have helped the community and given valuable expe- rience to the boys. To honor their fathers, the FFA members held a Father and Son Banquet in April. Greenhands Raven Speas and Denny Williams add a few more rips to the farm outfits which they wear on the day of FFA initiation. FRONT ROW: T. Baldwin, J. Barr, H. Zimmerman, B. Mead- Pleasants, S.

This was subdivided into citizenship in the home, the school, the community, the state, and the nation. To carry out these supporting projects, the chapter invited several guest speakers, county officials, and senior citizens to attend their meetings throughout the year. Also, a program on ‘‘The Magic of Virginia’ was giv- en. At Christmas the girls shared their spirit with the first graders by giving them a party and by helping them make Christmas cookies. The FHA members compiled a FHA Handbook and conducted the FHA Point System. American flags were purchased by the chapter for all the high school class rooms as well as the school library. In the fall and spring, several of the girls represented Cumberland at the Longwood Fed- eration meetings.

The chapter president, Becky Peters, and the chapter sponsor, Mrs. Patricia Hamlett, served on the FBLA State Executive Board. Becky also served as State Vice-President and President of the Longwood Region of the FBLA. On March 11, at the Longwood Regional Con- vention, chapter members were selected in four contests to participate in contests at the state convention: David Higgins, Mr. FBLA; Diane Coffey, Spelling; Becky Peters, Public Speaking; and Sherry Giles and Kathy Orange, Scrapbook. Brenda Hartley won the office of Regional Vice- President. In addition to district and state activities, lo- cally the chapter presented a talent show and held a Parents’ Banquet. Mr. Charles Manning, State FBLA adviser, chats with Becky Peters at the Parents’ Banquet. 56 Latin Club Members Enjoy Banquet Latin Club members found that they could learn about Roman social customs in a most pleasant way. They did this by celebrating Saturnalia and by planning their own Roman banquet. Observing Saturnalia at the December meeting, members participated in games, en- joyed refreshments, and even exchanged gifts as the Romans did. The banquet, which was held in April, necessitated research in Roman dress as well as Roman food. However, the hard work was forgotten when the stately Romans sipped their ‘‘wine’’ and enjoyed the courses of a complete Roman dinner. In addition to these social events, members saw several films that portrayed the life of the average young Roman and his family. Appropriately dressed, Sandra Singletary and Barbara Allen taste the Roman food and drink punch by candlelight at the Latin Club banquet.

Varsity Club Helps Purchase Trophies In an effort to promote interest in sports, Varsi- ty Club members not only kept students informed about athletic programs, but also sponsored spe- cial events. Streamers over the stairway in the main building and on the walls of the gymnasium called attention to coming athletic events and en- couraged Duke players. The powder-puff football game and the all-sports banquet for participants in all winter and spring sports were two of the highlights of the year. Thanks to the Varsity’s ‘‘banged car’ with teachers names painted on it, students were able to take out their frustrations as they paid 25 cents to hit the names. Members also manned the concession stand during home games. Profits from these projects enabled the Varsity Club to contribute to the purchase of trophies.

Drama Group Designs Puppet Stage Creativity was the key word in the drama group from September through January. The group des- igned and built a puppet stage, complete with cur- tains, scenery, and lights. They also made the puppets, painted and dressed them for use in two puppet shows, presented to the elementary school and the high school. In December the group, accompanied by a cho- rus singing Christmas carols, gave a series of pan- tomimes depicting the Nativity. During February and March two one-act plays were produced. Forever Judy was given for the high school students and The Trysting Place for the P.T.A. The season closed with the George M. Cohan production, Seven Keys to Baldpate, a melodra- matic mystery-farce which was given as the Senior play. Linnie Barr and Kathy Orange as Mr. and Mrs. Quimby skepti- cally study the telegram in the first act of Seven Keys to Bald- pate. In a scene from the Christmas pantomime, a wise man (Nel- son Hamlett) presents a gift for the Christ Child as Joseph (Mike Boggs) and Mary (Kathy Orange) look on.

Gypsy caravans and fortune tellers were all a part of the scene on the night of February 24 when the seventh graders presented an operetta, Little Gypsy Gay. With a cast of twenty-four and a cho- rus of thirty-five, the operetta told the story of a lit- tle girl who was found and raised by the gypsies. Directing the play were the seventh-grade teach- ers, Mrs. Nancy Hundley and Mrs. Aurelia Hazle- grove, and the music instructor for the elementary school, Mrs. Ethel Southall. Early on the morning of March 14, class mem- bers boarded buses for a day of sight-seeing in Jamestown and Williamsburg. This interesting tour not only provided a fun-filled day but also created additional interest in Virginia history. Kelly Wallick as Little Gypsy Gay is somewhat sad as she be- gins to feel dissatisfied with her gypsy life. 60 Elementary SCA Encourages Courtesy FRONT ROW: Tony Sumner, Lynn Meadows, Sharon Scott, Betty Mitzi Turner.

Discouraging run- ning on the sidewalks and encouraging quietness outside classrooms were just two of the steps that were taken in order to reach the desired goal. Special programs were presented to the stu- dent body to celebrate such occasions as Thanks- giving and Christmas. Especially entertaining was the variety show presented by talented students from each grade. In addition to these programs, SCA members earned enough money through the magazine campaign to buy the first of the audio-visual cur- tains for the classrooms. They also purchased music supplies, baseball equipment, and donated $15 toward the purchase of shrubs for the school grounds. Mitzi Turner and Debbie Oertel, fourth-grade SCA represen- tatives, admire the audio-visual curtains purchased with SCA funds. 61 Kathy Orange Receives Homecoming Crown Tri-captains Hugh French, Danny Smith, and Mike Sloan seem delighted to pose with Homecoming Queen Kathy Orange. The buzzing of saws and the crack of ham- mers were familiar sounds as students made ready their entries for the Homecoming float competition. Weeks before the eventful night, students were drawing sketches, making paper flowers, and assembling materials. Also sched- uled was the annual bonfire. Wasn't it fun to see the Park View player roasted alive! Meeting the Park View Dragons in the Home- coming game on October 14, the Dukes waged a determined battle but trailed with a score of 12 to 13. During half-time, members of the classes of 1946 and 1956 were recognized. The Duke tri-captains then crowned Kathy Orange Homecoming Queen as her court, Nancy Agee, Becky Black, Ruth Black, Janet Godsey, Donna Combs, Linda Foster, and Sandra Allen, watched.

The Cheerleaders, who spon- sored Cumberland’s Homecoming, added sever- al features which caused much enthusiasm. Among these was the float competition; with much pride, the Juniors accepted the $25 prize which was donated by the Cheering Squad. The printed homecoming programs, another special attraction, were dedicated to Mrs. Elizabeth Gil- liam, former sponsor of the cheerleaders.

Mountain Scenery Delights Seniors 64 On May 15 members of the Senior Class, ac- companied by Mrs. Adele Watkins and Mrs. Vertia Waller, boarded a bus for the long-awaited trip to the Skyline Drive. Despite the rainy weather and tornado warn- ings, spirits were undampened as the seniors traveled over the mountains, glimpsing the Shen- andoah Valley in an occasional burst of sunshine. At Byrd Station II the seniors watched a short film about the beauties of the valley and mountains and hiked through mountain trails. The picnic grounds at Luray provided the ideal spot for lunch, and a tour of the caverns proved fascinating. After a leisurely ride home, the tired but happy seniors enjoyed a visit in the home of Mrs. Wat- kins before returning to Cumberland at 9:00 p.m. (TOP LEFT) While the bus stops at a point on the Skyline Drive, seniors take the opportunity to get pictures of the view.

While ‘‘The Misfits,’ a combo from Midlothian, played the theme, each senior and his date were recognized. After the introduction of the seniors, Becky Peters and Linnie Barr were crowned King and Queen of the Prom. During intermission, gifts were presented by the Junior Class to Mrs. Juanita Simonini and to Mrs. Barbara Newman for their timeless efforts in guiding them in the ‘‘Prom Construction.’’ AY WAN i (Os ma Junior and senior couples enjoy dancing to the music of ‘‘The Misfits.”’ Sue Womack, Linnie Barr, David Higgins, and Marsha Gills relax be- side the fountain in the summer house.

Class Day Features Original Skit 66 Teachers were under close scrutiny the last few weeks of school as seniors watched every gesture and mannerism for their class day skit, Name That Teacher. In the skit, Melvin Jamerson as mod- erator introduced each guest who then signed in. The panel of experts with their blindfolds on tried to guess the identity of the teacher. The witty im- personations brought gales of laughter and made the panel’s task an easy one. The class prophecy read by Lee Garrett gave a glimpse of the Class of 1967 at its 20th reunion. Alma Bryant gave the last will and testament in which some seniors passed on their particular traits and tricks to the underclassmen. “L-i-2-Z-y Gi-l-l-i-a-m” are the words to the song composed and sung joyously by Diane Coffey, Lee Garrett, and Beverly Speas.

Graduation for the Class of '6 7 The moment had finally arrived! On the evening of June 5, the thirty-seven members of the 1967 graduating class anxiously waited for that long- hoped-for, coveted piece of paper to be placed into their hands. On the previous morning, Sunday, June 4, the Reverend Donald Long preached the baccalaureate sermon in the school auditorium. Before the presentation of the diplomas, Mr. Earl A. Rubley delivered the graduation address. He praised the present generation for its ability to face reality and encouraged the graduates to use their qualities of leadership to search for truth. Mr. J. Meredith Robeson, principal, presented the diplomas to the seniors, after which Mr. Paul Thompson presented awards to several out- standing graduates. Ruth Black and Lee Garrett received the Citizenship Awards. For her out- standing character and religious leadership, Anne Ayers received the Cartersville Ruritan Award. The Balfour Scholastic Award was given to Lee Gar- rett. David Higgins won the Cumberland Farm Bu- reau Scholarship Grant. With a solemn expression, Jean Lang leads the processional. Mr. Earl A.

Each individual who participates in this program also gains for himself greater strength of mind and body and the deter- mination to succeed. Losing Season Does Not Tri-captains Hugh French, Mike Sloan, and Danny Smith pose with Coaches Buddy Martin, Don Robinson, and Henry Morris. The Dukes finished the season with a record of 2 wins, 7 losses, and one tie. This record does not tell the entire story since the Dukes played some close and hard-fought games. Such was the case in the Homecoming game with Park View. Following a splendid offensive and defensive battle with.this favored opponent, the Dukes lost in the last quarter by a one-point margin. Despite a limited number of players and num- erous injuries, the Dukes put together an offense which moved the ball well against some of the strongest defenses in the district. The running attack was led by backs Mike Sloan, Hugh French, George Dowdy, and Randal Phil- lips. Also effective to a great extent was the pas- sing game which was headed up by Danny Smith, quarterback, and ends Linnie Barr and Danny Phillips. Filling key defensive positions were veterans Melvin Jamerson and Ronny Thompson. Randal Phillips heads for a first down as he rounds the end during the game against Buckingham. 72 Dampen Dukes’ Enthusiasm FRONT ROW: David Sloan, Gary Nuckols, Brad Vassar, George Yates, Danny Johnson, Coach Don Robinson.

Many of the errors due to inexperience had been eliminated. This was visible both in the final scores and the manner in which the games were played. The season opened with games against sever- al of the strongest teams in the district. This op- position proved too strong a test so early in the year. However, after the holiday break, the boys concentrated on the improvement of teamwork and with great effort by all placed a teammate on the all-district team. Linnie Barr was the first Duke to receive this well-deserved honor. The season ended with three victories in- cluding an upset win over the district cham- pions and a heart breaking over-time loss by one point.

During the season each girl was given the op- portunity to participate in every game possible. This effort strengthened the team’s morale and made each member feel equally important. Among the outstanding players was Ruth Black, who was selected for the second consec- utive year to the all-district team.

All is quiet in the classrooms—but the noise of preparation starts again on the outside. Workmen begin remodeling the old cannery, converting it to a new chemistry lab, while students work on improving the track field and beautify- ing the school grounds. Crates of new books arrive daily and are being cata- logued in the library. Though all appears quiet at first glance, even in the summer, progress at Cumberland High School continues. aD Stee reat Rg Lat eos ork tee SHS Che Tet I ne a ’ ah ae?
