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

NEWMAN Social Studies, English, Cheerleaders. 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.
