Character Grows Through Experience id Mr. E. Armstrong Smith Mr. J. Meredith Robeson Mr. Clarence Lawson Superintendent Principal Vice-Principal “.. No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies . half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.” The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran Mrs. Adele Watkins Guidance Counselor As the quote implies, it is not within the power of the teacher to instill any knowledge into a student which is not already contained in the scope of his abilities. However, the teacher does seek to expose, develop, and broaden the capabilities of the pupil through intensive study programs. Thus, academics receives great emphasis at Cumberland. While instruc- tors assign work in regular lessons, creative presentations, and parallel readings, the student gains depth of understanding in new materials. The use of audio-visual aides and the programs presented on educational television also serve as stimulants in the learning process. Through these means, classroom activities prepare the student for his role in the adult world and enable him to function successfully in an ever-changing society. While faculty membership remained essentially the same, several changes or additions were made. Three former graduates of CHS, Miss Sarah Welchin, Mr. Jack Robeson, and Mr. Andy Ligon, returned to their Alma Mater to fill teaching posts. As Mrs. Adele Watkins assumed the position of guidance counselor, Mrs. Mary Charles Smith and Mrs. Donna Smith joined the faculty to occupy vacancies in senior and junior English classes respectively. In the’ business department, Mrs. Barbara Johnson, formerly a teacher at the elementary school, came to the high school to instruct classes in typing and shorthand. Whether a veteran with years of experience or an amateur with enthusiasm and new approaches to teaching, each member of the faculty at Cumberland High School recognizes his task, that of guiding the stu- dent in his absorption of knowledge. This endeavor represents a challenge to the teacher as well as to the pupil.
