THE DUKE 1968 Cumberland High School Cumberland, Virginia Volume XXIII CUMBERLAND H. S. LIBRARY CUMBERLAND, VIRGINIA Achievement Through Challenge At Cumberland, each person, student and faculty member alike, strives to attain achieve- ment; but it is not so easily acquired. Achieve- ment demands a challenge. A teacher, attempt- ing to aid a student with a problem, succeeds in finding the basis of his difficulty. A student, reassured by old friends, secures new friend- ships. A chemistry student, struggling to for- mulate an equation, employs intensive contem- plation and reasoning. A club president, pre- siding over a meeting, proves his ability to lead. A football player, nearing the goal line for a touchdown, displays skill and physical stamina. Each experience has provided the challenge and has been rewarded by achievement. The staff of The Duke attempts to reveal the challenges and the achievements which the individual encoun- ters at Cumberland High School. Deryl Kennon, a new student, receives help from Mrs. Gerald- ine Sanderson in preparing his schedule. When the snow begins to fall, the photographer, along with his fellow students, is tempted to look outside.

The football squad listens intently as the cheerleaders begin a spirited chant. At the beginning of school, pep rallies were often held outside in the warm September sun. $5; 1S cm yh Q UIZ GAR Academics Each student, inquisitive and ambitious, reaches out and seeks to ascertain what he himself knows in part but is eager to discover in whole. By offering a variety of classes, Cumber- land attempts to challenge each student in the classroom to do extra work in his pursued field or toward his future career. Realizing that his goals demand a well-planned curriculum, each student at Cumberland accepts the challenge of diligent work and intensive study. Thus, every individual is prompted to achieve his aims of high ideals and high academic standing.

(LEFT) Typing industriously, Darlene Odom and Julia Rowan test their speed during a timed writing. Although delays in the delivery of materials meant science classes had their first sessions in the auditorium, the laboratory and science classroom was completed within several weeks after the opening of school. A cannery, which la- ter served as an athletic building, was complete- ly remodeled and furnished with group experi- ment tables, tile floor, acoustical ceiling, num- erous cabinets, and an ample supply room. Equipped with movie and slide projectors and with numerous charts, the classroom also has Standard desks as well as the experiment ta- bles. Fifteen new microscopes helped greatly in the studies of science and biology, while the new fume hood, used in the preparation of poi- sonous gases, eliminated some of the more tox- ic and noisome odors that are encountered in some chemistry experiments. as Laboratory and Library Assistants Lab assistant Jack Moody checks out the materials that will be used for a chemistry experiment.

In this first year, drawing, painting, sculpture, printing, and craftwork have been emphasized. The mixed choral group which has been orga- nized in the music class has also been very busy. The fine voices of this group have lent themselves to many of the special programs this year. From their performance at SCA as- semblies to the beautiful and inspiring Christ- mas pageant, this group and course of study have contributed immensely to the betterment of the school. Music classes were held in each of the ele- mentary grades. However, in the seventh grade which had a chorus, music was an elective sub- ject. Music of Holland made an interesting study for third graders, and sixth-grade students stud- ied the great composers. (RIGHT) Lynn Meadows sets up the movie projector for classroom use.

In preparing a transparency, Mrs. Dorothy Putney uses an automatic thermal copier. 12 New Vistas in Learning Television classes were certainly an important part of the increasing modernization of the grade and high school curriculum. Though used only sparingly in the high school, the TV classes have been very effective in the grade school. The sci- ence classes in grades four through seven have used the TV at least once and often twice a week. As it is necessary to have extensive equip- ment and laboratory area for some science ex- periments, the TV classes have enabled elemen- tary students to observe scientific procedures that they could not have seen before. A new series of grammar and composition books which emphasize linguistics has been adopted. This series begins with the third grade text and continues through senior English. An important part of the English and reading program was the remedial reading class for the third and fourth grades. Mrs. Ethel Wilson, the remedial reading teacher, has also worked with grade school children handicapped by speech defects. (ABOVE) Working independently, Anne Barker and Susan Good- man use the cyclo-teacher, which supplements classroom instruction.

(LEFT) Shop student Larry Gauldin uses a square to prepare a piece of wood for sawing. . 13 The administration is faced with the challenge of providing each student with the opportunity of acquiring the education and the skill that will bring success in future life. Realizing that young people spend the greater part of their time in school, the administration also seeks to instill in the students a standard of ethics. By serving the youth of his school, each administrator and each teacher achieves the personal satisfaction of knowing that he has been a deciding factor in the formulation of the student's set of values and range of knowledge. school Board Plans to Enlarge Play Area (ABOVE) School board members Eric Robinson, Charlie Goodman, and Harry Harrison glance through the 1967 Duke.

Armstrong Smith, Mr. Harry Harrison, and Mr. Charlie Goodman enjoy the annual school board dinner Pi, a prepared and served by the home economics students. Providing the facilities for modern-day educa- tion and the necessary academic challenge for today’s youth called for constant study, evalua- tion, and planning by members of the school board and the superintendent of schools. The acquisition of audio-visual equipment and ma- terials, the completion of the science laboratory, and the addition of many volumes to the library were all a part of the program to make Cumber- land one of the better-equipped rural schools. Concerned not only with improving the curric- ulum, school board members were also thinking of the physical plant and its appearance. Land purchased last year is being cleared. When this task is completed, the additional space will pro- vide more play area for the elementary students. 16 Art Teacher Joins Staff MR. J. MEREDITH ROBESON Principal MRS. GEORGIA P.

Cumberland High School began the 1967-68 session with a number of new faces not only in the student body but also in the faculty. Miss Margaret Stombock, who early in the year com- pleted her student teaching for Longwood Col- lege, continued her work as art instructor. Since she was teaching several classes in freshman English, Mrs. Ethel Southall, music teacher for the elementary school, also became a part of the high school English department. Mrs. Ethel Jeter, Mrs. Carrie Dowdy, and Mrs. Carolyn Bab- er were the new members of the elementary faculty. Mrs. Dowdy and Mrs. Baber had been members of the faculty in previous years, and Mrs. Jeter came to Cumberland from Luther P. Jackson School. Mrs. Ethel Wilson, who special- izes in reading techniques, j oined the staff last spring. National Youth Conference on the Atom MRS. JACQUELINE B. PEPPER First Grade MRS. DOROTHY R.

After es- tablishing fellowship, the student seeks Status, for each wants to occupy a position of signi- ficance. Each individual recognizes and accepts the challenge of making a place for himself since each wants to leave his mark. Embodied at Cumberland are the hopes, dreams, desires, and ambitions of many individual persons, each one striving to achieve his own personal goals.

This participation challenges the student to prove his own abilities and talents to himself and to others. He achieves the personal delight of fellowship and the feeling of accomplishment. It is through the activities—where each student works together with others, and where each student gives a small part of himself—that each individual takes one step further toward the goal of maturity. Duke Lists High School Students in Index “Check that page again for mistakes!’’ was not such a bad request since it indicated that yearbook pages were being completed. From the first few months to the last crucial weeks of school, the members of the yearbook staff la- bored tirelessly at their tasks of drawing and re- drawing 3-r forms, exchanging ideas to arrive at suitable captions for pictures, and sorting out the appropriate pictures to be cropped. A partial index which included high school students and faculty was added. The staff also allotted more pages for class work and academ- ic activities. On April 5, members of The Duke staff at- tended the SIPA convention held at Washington and Lee University. Here The Duke received a first place rating on its 1967 edition. Pondering over a question of layout design, Buck Smith and Gail Stimpson try to visualize the completed page.

With such varied items as essays on ‘‘Free- dom and the High School Students” and a list of birthdays in the first grade, the Duke Echo covered questions of interest to high school stu- dents as well as social events of importance to elementary students. Reports of club and athlet- ic activities caught the eye of upperclassmen, but elementary students were just as eager to see their class news In print. Even with a larger staff, there were the usual woes of deadlines, proofreading, and assem- bling and stapling the paper. However, hard work was rewarded with an increase in circulation, and with a higher quality newspaper. Since selling newspapers at lunch time has become a cus- tom, Tony Trent gets his copy of The Duke Echo from Ned Stimpson just after the bell rings. a0 Betas Become Teachers for a Day FRONT ROW: Mrs. Mary E.

On April 18, the Beta Club gave the teachers ‘‘a break’’ when many Betas attempted to instruct the classes. The experience was quite interest- ing for both the students and the student teacher. Teacher Appreciation Day, although perhaps the most significant, was only one of many. ac- tivities sponsored by the Beta Club. Other events included the impressive tapping cere- mony, the giving of Christmas toys for the needy, and the sponsorship of the door decoration contest. Ten Betas attended the state convention at Roanoke where they exchanged ideas with Beta Club members from throughout the state of Virginia. During the first rounds of Beta Bowl competition, Tim Sumner, Richard Blanton, and Barbara Allen, the junior class contestants, signal for the question. 56 Latin Club Members Make Togas and Pallas Directions for properly draping the toga sound- ed simple enough, but male members of the Latin Club agreed that copying the style of the Roman senators wasn’t that easy.

Members also celebrated Saturnalia at their December meeting, when they exchanged small gifts and enjoyed refreshments.

After having a program on parliamentary law in November, the chapter decided to organize its own team to compete in the regional contest. The FBLA also brought to its members a pro- gram on the use of business machines and a panel discussion on education. Twenty members attended the regional meet- ing at Longwood College on March 9 where the chapter took first place with their bulletin board and scrapbook. Also at the meeting, Buck Smith placed second in the spelling contest, and Betty Berger was chosen Miss FBLA. At the state con- vention in Richmond, the FBLA won second place for their state project and was presented an honor chapter award.

Led by Supersalesmen, the chocolate candy drives brought in more than $400 to the club treasury. Other fund raising activities included the op- eration of the concession stand during the foot- ball and baseball seasons and three successful sock hops. The sock hops not only boosted finances, but t hey also were very enjoyable so- cial gatherings for the students. Proceeds of these activities were used to assist members in buying jackets and blazers and to pay for the All-Sports Banquet, at which deserving athletes were honored for their out- standing participation on Cumberland’s athletic teams.

Consultations with state police officers, a thor- ough review of arrangements for bus loading and unloading, and even an examination of the park- ing facilities for cars were some of the steps taken by the Cumberland Chapter of the Future Farmers of America in setting up a safety program. Not only was a safer and faster system of loading buses devised, but each bus had two safety patrol- men whose responsibilities included serving as flagmen and working with the driver to keep order. As a member of the Piedmont Federation, the FFA participated in many of the various contests. The degree team and the forestry judging team both placed third in the competition, and Richard Blanton won second place in the public speaking contest. | At a bus stop, flagman Mike Boyles steps out to stop oncom- ing traffic. FHA Members Entertain Faculty “May | get you a cup of punch?” became a fa- miliar question for FHA members when they en- tertained at two teas during National FHA Week. Members of the high school and elementary facul- ty were guests at the first tea. The second tea was given for seventh-grade girls so that they might become acquainted with the facilities of the home economics department. Both affairs were social successes, and they also gave the FHA girls practi- cal experience in planning and preparing for parties. Interesting programs were arranged for each meeting of the FHA chapter. Highlighting these programs was a visit from a cosmetologist. As she demonstrated various techniques in applying make-up, the girls learned how to accent their best features and get the best results from their cosmetics.

These and similar topics were included in the SCA programs which focused on the student and his_ school community. Again SCA members celebrated Christmas by bringing gifts to fill the White Christmas boxes, which were turned over to the local welfare de- partment for distribution. In order to participate more fully in the activi- ties of the district, SCA members have prepared a scrapbook which they plan to enter in district competition next fall. Election time is a busy one for candidates and their sup- porters. Frank Baber and Dale Thompson place David Layne’s poster so that it is in plain view to all students. Elementary SCA Emphasizes Service “Service’’ could have been the motto of the elementary SCA, service to the school and to others. The SCA cooperated with the FFA chap- ter in its program to establish bus patrols and to improve behavior in the buses. To serve others, the SCA collected 365 bags of used clothing, toys, and household furnishings for the Goodwill Industries. Elementary students also joined members of the high school SCA in remembering the needy at Christmas by bring- ing gifts for White Christmas. Interesting programs were planned for each SCA meeting. ‘“‘Christmas Around the World,’’ a program which explained the different customs and beliefs of other countries, was presented in December. A special Thanksgiving play was also given by the second grade. Harold Varner waits his turn as Dwain Allen and other stu- dents lift Goodwill bags on the truck.

As enthusiastic cheerleaders shouted, ‘‘Have you got that spirit?’ and the student body roared its reply, it was obvious that the role of the Cumberland Cheering Squad was an impor- tant one. However, pep rallies and the actual cheering were only part of the squad’s activities. Seven cheerleaders attended camp at Smith Mountain Lake, where they learned new yells and chants and improved their cheering form. The squad also assisted in establishing and training the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders, whose lively cheers rang out in support of all the JV teams. Both squads made numerous signs and posters to boost school spirit and to encourage attendance at school athletic events. In the class cheering competition held at the bonfire, JV cheerleaders Betty Garrett, Sandra Allen, and Linda Danby, who are members of the freshman class, perform the win- ning cheer. 64 for Basketball Season Clad in new uniforms, cheerleaders Beverly Motley and Jan- et Godsey lead the Duke fans in a rousing cheer.

Heated competition was evident as classes yelled original cheers and chants with the hope of driving the Dukes on to victory. In spite of the students’ enthusiasm and loyal support, the Dukes were no match for their oppo- nents at the Homecoming game on October 27. The score favored the Statesmen of Randolph Henry 32 to 0. At half-time, the classes of 1947 and 1957 were recognized.

(ABOVE) With lunches in hand, Ned Stimpson, Debbie Maples, and David Farmer prepare to board the bus. “Oh, I’ll never be able to lift my feet again.” This and other such comments were heard after the seniors hiked 1.4 miles down to Dark Hollow Falls and back up to the Skyline Drive again. May 16, the day set for the senior class trip, began ear- ly for the seniors as they boarded the bus at 7:00 a.m. After reaching the Skyline Drive, they made numerous stops to view the magnificent scenery. Low-lying clouds through which the sun occasion- ally shone added to the breath-taking views. Driv- ing on to Luray, the students ate a picnic lunch and prepared for the tour through the Caverns. Coming back to Bear Creek Lake, the group fixed Supper and relaxed until it was time to return home. Despite tired feet the seniors thoroughly enjoyed their trip.

But the hurrying and scurrying was not in vain. The gymnasium was lovely, as if a fairy had waved a wand transforming it into the enchanted place of ‘‘Somewhere My Love.” A Stairway leading up to the clouds and stars sym- bolized the beauty and mystery of the future. On the dance floor couples enjoyed the en- chantment as they swayed to the rhythms of ‘‘The Satisfactions.’’ Pinkey Baldwin and Debbie Ma- ples, King and Queen, led off the dance to the music of ‘‘Somewhere My Love.”’ Standing by the beautifully decorated refreshment table are Bobby Meadows, Marsha Gills, Janet Perkins, and Steve Bobb. Seniors Present ‘‘Academic Apple Awards’”’ ‘May | have the envelope, please?’ requested the seniors who were taking the parts of famous Hollywood stars as the seniors presented the ‘‘Ac- ademic Apple Awards Show ’ at their Class Night. At 8:00 p.m. on June 5, the students laughed as teachers watched themselves being portrayed by members of the senior class and receiving awards for ‘‘best actor or actress of the year.’’ Even the teachers seemed to enjoy seeing their traits and peculiarities exaggerated to the highest degree. After the skit, Beth Blanton read the class histo- ry which brought back memories of the five years in high school. The reading of the last will and tes- tament by Randy Phillips and the giving of the class prophecy by Pinkey Baldwin provided addi- tional excitement to the program.

Even though they had experienced wearing the caps and gowns the previous Sunday, June 2, when the Reverend Dargan B. Lucas preached the baccalaureate sermon, the seniors were still tense and uneasy. This tenseness was, however, quickly removed when Dr. Sidney E. Sandridge began to address the seniors at commencement. Empha- sizing the importance of being one person, Dr. Sandridge impressed upon the minds of the se- niors the main theme of his talk: ‘‘l’m only one, but | am one.” After the principal, Mr. J. Meredith Robeson, had presented the diplomas, Mr. Paul Thompson presented awards to several outstanding seniors. The program ended with the seniors singing ‘‘The Impossible Dream,’’ the senior class song.

Equally important to the student is the spirit of competition which is a part of sports. Each team strives to prove that It is not only a little better than its predecessor but that it is also a formidable foe for its opponents.

The first game of the season seemed to indi- cate that the sweat and toil of practice sessions were, indeed, worthwhile. Balanced offensively and defensively, the team, determined to do well, showed great potential. Numerous injuries, however, began to weaken and undermine the squad, and the last four games, all losses, showed a definite weakening in morale as well as manpower. Facing overwhelming odds, offensive rushers Mike Sloan and Gary Nuckols led the Dukes throughout the season. For the first time, the conversion points were kicked instead of run. McKinley Brown's point-after record for the sea- son was 5 of 5.

Individuals who made outstanding records were Sam Reid, Richard Blanton, and Franklin Grant. Reid ended the year with a 16 point average and with the school’s record for points (31) in a single game. Scores of 66 against Buckingham and Amelia set a scoring record, the highest number of points made by a Cumberland JV team in a single game.

Although the team has not had a winning season, the team mem- bers take a certain pride in the fact that they have shown improvement each year. Danny Phillips, with an average of 16 points per game, hit 35% from the floor. Johnny Barr was the leading rebounder followed closely by Cliff Dowdy and Ned Stimpson. A unique system of choosing co-captains for each game strengthened team morale and unity and discouraged petty inter-squad rivalries. Ned Stimpson, with highest foul shot percentage, and Cliff Dowdy, with the highest percentage from the floor, were chosen by the team to be permanent captains at the end of the year. Danny Phillips finishes a spectacular drive with a lay-up, as Johnny Barr, number 14, Johnny Staton, from Buckingham, and Ned Stimpson, number 32, stand by. 79 Girls’ Basketball Team Teamwork and hustle gave the Cumberland Dukettes their best season in four years. Al- though the team had a slow start with three losses, the Dukettes ended the season with a record of 7-5. Tri-captains Julia Rowan, Marsha Gills, and Brenda Dowdy were especially helpful in building team spirit and morale. Top scorers were Marsha Gills with 11.1 points per game, LaVerne Reid with 10.9 points per game, and Brenda Dowdy with 7.9 points per game. How- ever, the support of guards Julia Rowan, Juani- ta Korrow, and Diane Joyce, a strong bench, and the coaching of Mrs. Barbara Robinson were all important elements in putting the Cum- berland girls in the winning column. Coach Barbara Robinson discusses team strategy with tri- captains Brenda Dowdy, Marsha Gills, and Julia Rowan. In a game played at Randolph Henry, LaVerne Reid of Cumberland and Mary Hunter of Randolph Henry fight for a rebound as Brenda Dowdy, Margaret Hunter, and Brenda Nelson rush to their assistance. 80 Experiences First Winning Season SCORES Cumberland Opponents 29 Dinwiddie 38 28 Lunenburg 35 30 Park View 58 46 Randolph Henry 35 46 Blackstone 26 34 Brunswick SB! 39 Bluestone ot 16 Buckingham 30 54 Crewe 2 a? | Greensville 54 50 Amelia SF 4] Alumnae Zh LaVerne Reid gets off a jump shot in the game against Blackstone.

In the same manner, the business staff of The Duke in its effort to solicit advertising must equal or sur- pass the standards of other advertising media and must prepare attractive copy that meets the needs of its customers. Thus, The Duke staff and the local business concerns have similar chal- lenges, and by working together they achieve a bond of interest and understanding within the community. 89 Mr. Weldon Bowles seems pleased to deliver Monticello milk from the Farmville Creamery to the school cafeteria.
