Initiative And Drive Reflect Having their most successful year, the Dukes complet- F ed the basketball season with an overall record of 12-7 and a district record of 10-4 which placed them third in district competition. Regular games provided the thrill of seeing Cumber- land come from an eleven point disadvantage to beat Fluvanna as well as the exasperation of seeing Goochland play a stall game that resulted in a half-time score of 6-3. A tight contest at Grange Hall found Cumberland victorious as Mike Scales sunk a free throw in the final seconds of play. The Dukes beat Amelia in the first round of tournament action but bowed to Prince Edward in the semifinals. Lonnie Wilson, leading scorer in the James River Dis- trict and fourth in Group A Virginia ratings with a 24.2 point average, won a seat on the All-District first team and the All-Tournament team. Michael Scales made the All-District second team. In addition to these boys, the offensive and defensive skill displayed by other team members showed a real team effort that led the Dukes on a path to victory. KNEELING -- C. Patterson, K. Brown, M.

Cheerleaders Spark School BEE Co-captain G. Franck, J. Wilson, K. Wilson, L. Danby, S. Jackson, B. Garrett. GWEN Co-Captain We're here to show we're Duke fans, so come on, prove it. . .! And that is exactly what the football cheerleaders did. Consisting of a seven member volunteer squad, these vivacious girls donned their uniforms proudly and filled the student body with enthusiasm and school spirit. Performing at pep rallies and games, the cheer- leaders, under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Mary Charles Smith, raised their pompons high and through their spar- kling megaphones of blue and gold echoed rousing chants and yells. A spirited bonfire preceding the Homecoming game and the presentation of several comical skits high- lighted the season. When shoulder pads, helmets, and football equipment had long been in storage, and royal blue skirts, and saddle shoes had been tucked in a closet, the atmosphere of spirit and pride injected into the school community by the football cheerleaders could be felt.
