CUMBERLAND HIGH SCHOOL CUMBERLAND, VIRGINIA Introduction 3 Faculty 16 Seniors 24 Classes 38 Sports 56 Activities 74 Advertising 88 Editor • Tony Trent 2 Year Reflects Challenge And Progress Time has pleasantly passed, and another school year has begun and ended at Cumber- land High School. Along with the finished year is the completion of two semesters of study and enrichment. Students arc now gone their separate ways, but many will be reunit- ed in the fall. However, the seniors will con- tinue down their divided paths into the out- side world for which they have been prepared. The walls now stand silent and still, but an echo remains of past days when laughter, chatter, and classroom activity intensified the air. The rooms may be empty, but what Duke's memory is not filled with thoughts of the 1971-72 school year? Many met their var- ious challenges through seeking answers and solutions. Many found their goals in the end and saw- that the effort was worthw hile. Now while contemplating over their fruitful year, many will feel deep and warm appreciation for the untiring attempt of the faculty and administration who helped guide them to accomplishment. 3 Cheerleaders rousingly chant for the team at a pre-Homecoming bonfire. The three senior queen candidates Donna Ocrtel. Peggy Turpin, and Joanic Marion pose for a picture in the autumn sunshine. Mr. Lampherc directs the school band as rain drizzles upon Homecoming festivities. Amid cascading rain which caused drooping hair-dos and umbrellas to spring up like mushrooms, the 1971 Homecoming was quite distinctive. The stage was set for excitement; the enthusiastic chants of the cheerleaders, the pretty class representatives led by Queen Donna Oer- tel, and the lilting tunes of the band created an atmo- sphere and spirit undampened by the weather. After an undaunted attempt for victory by the Dukes, the Powhatan Indians triumphed with a score of 33-7, but the night was not yet completed. Students, faculty, and alumni of the classes of'21, '31, '51, and '61 assem- bled later to dance away somewhat drooping spirits. In- cluded in the entertainment was the music of “The Galaxies.” Homecoming Includes Gala Activities With Noble Touch Queen Donna Oertel smiles joyously after being crowned Miss Homecoming with her father and attendents.

Hostesses smile approvingly as they view merry activities. 12 Part of a ship-wrecked boat provides clue to the theme as seniors enter gym. Junior Class Officers pause for a picture with King Neptune. The night was warm and mellow as couples arrived at the gymnasium for the much-anticipated prom. As the ju- niors, seniors, and their dates entered the gym, they walked through a pas- sageway that led to a treasure chest filled with tiny jewels, and then a hint to the wellguarded theme of the prom was revealed to the seniors. As everyone entered the gym, couples were seen dancing among the streamers that sepa- rated the scashell-strewn tables and King Neptune was viewed in the dist- ance sitting upon his throne. So thus, the juniors had provided for the seniors the theme “Neptune’s Court”. Couples danced to the music of the Rocking Rhythms Band, and following intermission, William Robinson and Charita Doswell were crowned King and Queen of the festivities as a shower of balloons fell upon the dance floor. As the hour reached twelve, couples began to depart, but they will always remember their night of under-the ocean fantasy. Juniors and their dates enjoy an evening of dancing. Couples exhibit looks of pleasure as the evening progresses. 13 FIRST ROW: Charles Lewis. Lynn Meadows. Dennis Spillman. Everett Irving. William Robinson. Charita Doswcll. Rita Cochran.

It is our hope that you will remember at least sore of the things your teachers have tried to impart to you during your stay here and that you trill have no trouble in finding your places in our Society.

I ' TT FAIR ? : . iv. m IT I B: : ' : An application of this to your dai !y lives is one sure way of bringing years of happiness, peace� and friendships, to each of you. Charles Kingsley once said: The r-er. whom T have seen succeed in life have always beer, cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile faces, and took the changes and chances of this mortal life like nor, facing rough and smooth alike as it came. '.fe commend this thought to each of you. 18 MR. J. MEREDITH ROBESON. Principal MR. CLARENCE J. LAWSON. Assistant Principal. SCA Sponsor Faculty Provide Enrichment Today's world is complex and constantly changing. These factors make the job of administering the nation’s schools an immense challenge. At Cumberland, the administration attempts to retain a close relationship with the student, and represent good leadership which is a necessary key to success. Here the student finds an understanding administration which al- lows him academic freedom and tries to instill in him a sense of values which will enable him to lead a satisfactory and well-rounded life. In a rapidly changing and complicated society, the role of the teacher is quite challenging and invigorating. His job of exposing, developing, and broadening the capabilities of the pupil is unequalled in its need and importance. Using various techniques such as audio-visual aides, educational television, and inspiring the student to use crea- tivity and insight, the teacher stimulates the pupil to prepare for the future. New members who were welcomed to the faculty were Mrs. Valeric Pearce and Mr. Rick Vaughan. Both occu- pied vacancies in the math department. Miss Marie Doyne served the last semester as a science teacher. It makes no difference whether the Cumberland High School teacher has years of experience or is newly a member of the profession; both are aware of his responsibility and or willing and capable to meet his challenge.

Masonry Instructor “To Seek, To Find, To Appreciate” The senior year of high school symbolizes the pinnacle of twelve years of academic study which will provide the base for excelling in life. For some, future progress will imme- diately include the opportunities of the work- ing world. Others will seek the extended hori- zons of education, but all have experienced a sense of accomplishment. The 1972 Senior Class of Cumberland High School has exibited enthusiasm and industry that has led them to varied areas of success and achievement. Their noble effort of cooperation and unity for themselves and the student body has inspired a complete and satisfying sense of pride. It is their sincere desire that their enterprising manner will be equalled or exceeded by future graduating classes, who, like the 1972 seniors, will seek the best through spirit, and appreciate achievement through self-satisfaction.

The preparations for the prom, sponsoring talent shows, taking college boards, and exploring the mysteries of U.S. Literature and chemistry provoke a stimulating and invig- orating atmosphere. The junior class of Cum- berland High School will long remember “their year” of fun and action that special time when pleasure and responsibility begin to grow.

With terrific zest and spirit, they plunged into the inspiring atmosphere to begin achieving their varied aims. The eighth graders' enthusiasm was apparent by their terrific vim that won the pep stick at several pep rallies and caused them to be among the win- ners for the door decoration contest.

Although the 1971 Varsity Football Dukes fin- ished with a 3-6 record it w as effective enough to put them in third place in Group II. James River District standings. The Dukes, who worked faithfully during the summer and had a 1-1 scrimmage record, had high hopes for the coming year, but they were somewhat disappointed at the end of the season. Although terribly ineffective at times, the offense had a few consistent players in the persons of Antho- ny Robinson. William Robinson. Lynn Meadows. Jon Oliver. Terry Mottley, and Tommy Perkins. Meadows also kicked extra points instead of the usual running or passing attempt, and was successful on four of seven. The defense w as equally erratic, but again a few consistent players emerged. These were James Deskins. William Robinson, Anthony Robin- son. and Walter Blackwell. The specialty teams played an important part in the victories achieved by Cumberland, and these were spearheaded by Stanley Kayton, Leonardo Taliaferro, and Ernie McAbec. This year's team was bolstered by thirteen seniors, so next year's team will have a rebuilding season ahead of them. Coaches David Riley.

Surrounded by the Dukes. Coach Johnson gives some quick words of advice during a tense moment. The varsity basketball team had an extremely suc- cessful and accomplished year. The entire squad was all junior varsity players previously with the exception of Will Robinson. Although they were an inexperi- enced team, the players possessed a skill that left many opponents astonished. The Dukes ended the year with an impressive rec- ord of 12 wins, 9 losses, and a second place tourna- ment trophy. This was the first time ever for a varsity basketball team at Cumberland to play in the finals of the District Tournament. The coach and players were tremendously proud of this fact. Highlights of the season were many. Donald Nuck- ols scored the winning basket to defeat Fluvanna wih 3 seconds left in the game. William Robinson scored 29 points in two games and Anthony Robinson scored 30 points in a game. Buckingham was defeated by the mighty team in the “Pit” and district champions Prince Edward fell to the forceful Dukes in the semi- finals at Goochland. Many Duke opponents will long remember the team’s mighty cry “Be aggressive , for they found that these were not simply meaningless words.

The 1972 Varsity Baseball Team completed their season with an impressive 10-5 overall record. The year was basically one of rebuilding, since there were only four seniors. The Dukes exhibited a strong pitching staff led by Will Robinson with a 4-2 pitching record, David Layne 2-0, Allen Hooven 2-1, and Anthony Robinson 2-2. The team was led by four all-District Team choices. Will Robinson, with his .320 batting average and 1 HR, placed as first team All-District first base- man. Second team choices were Anthony Robinson at shortstop, who led the Duke’s team in HR’s with 3, Terry Motley at third base, who boasted a .326 bat- ting average and scored 19 runs while stealing 21 bas- es, and Lynn Meadows in the outfield, who had 15 RBI’s. David Pleasants, a key performer, had a .380 batting average, I HR, and led the team in fielding with a .950 average. The charging Duke’s baseball team swept a double- header from Prince Edward and was the only team to defeat the Group A State Champions, Goochland.

They placed second in Group II. James River District. Twelve people took part in the Regional Meet, and two of them, Alfred Trent and Walter Rhode, contin- ued to the State Meet. The diligent Dukes broke the school record and placed first in a meet held at Hampden-Sydney. Two other school records were broken by the agile Alfred Trent who ran the low hurdles in 21.1. seconds and the nimble Walter Rhode who made the two mile run in 10 minutes and 51 seconds. 67 Leonardo Taliaferro spins as he throws the discus. � ■ 4, LEFT TO RIGHT KNEELING: Captains Brenda Lipscomb.

The team's final record was a fan- tastic 9-1, losing only one game to their arch rivals, Fluvanna. The Dukettes were led in scoring by Patri- cia Scales, averaging 23.6 points for the season. The dynamite team will be losing two seniors this year, but the coach has little cause to worry because of the dazzling scoring abilities of sophomores Carol Rose and Alberta Patterson.

Led by Co-Captains Brenda Lipscomb and Patricia Scales, the softball girls of Cumberland High School ended their memorable season with a 6-3 district rec- ord. The team consisted of basically inexperienced players with only two girls as previous members. However, the new coaches. Mrs. Barbara Newman and Mrs. Penny Anderson, worked faithfully with the untiring girls, and their efforts were not in vain. Softball Team Reflects Unrelenting Fervor When 6:30 of the first game night arrived, the Ju- nior Varsity cheerleaders were ready to boost the boys forward during the long season to come. Their efforts were well-rewarded for these young ladies cheered them on to become No. 1 in the district and No. 2 in the tournament games. These balls of energy and zest were led by Miss Lois Wright, and the captain was Carol Brown. J V cheerleaders anxiously await the start of a pep rally. J.V.

Quality Is Noteworthy Determination, spirit, and the leadership of coaches Ed- die Moore, Don Londergon, and Maurice Finney, resulted in the JV Dukes posting a 3-4 season record. The Dukes, scoring the second most number of points obtained by a JV team in Cumberland history, completed with the best rec- ord of the past five years. The powerful offensive attack was spearheaded by the forceful running of backs Calvin Clark and Marvin Mayo, who accounted for over 1.000 yards between them. The Dukes also relied on the passing arm of quarterback Pat Stonnell, who had ten touchdown passes to his credit, hit- ting his ends Alfred Trent and Gregory Gilliam. The defen- sive unit was capably led by Captain Doug Whaley and Co- Captain Alfred Trent. It was this strong defensive play that decided most of the w inning ballgames. Enthusiasm ran high all through the year, which was re- flected in Coach Moore's motto for the season: “Be a be- liever: be a doer: be cool, be calm, and be a winner. In J.V.

The Dukes’ striking 12-2 season record in the district and 14-5 overall placed a new school record. The team scoring average was 47.8 points while their opponents was 36.2. Captain Leonardo Taliaferro led in scoring with an aver- age of 14.7 points and 10 rebounds a game. Cecil Scott led in rebounding with an average of 12 a game and 10.3 points. Raymond Jones averaged 6.5 points per game and showed great improvement as the season progressed. Alfred Trent, the only starter from the previous season, averaged 8.7 points. David Pleasants, the Dukes’ playmaker, did an out- standing job as a rookie, being superior on defense. Percy Brown improved offensively and defensively and led the dexterous team to many victories. Matthew Allen was back-up playmaker and also played an important role in the team’s success. Floyd Harris, Eric Brown, William Flippen, Gregory Gilliam, Edward Foster, and Marcellus Robinson continually developed quality as the season passed. The coach and the team fell that pride, understanding, might, and cooperation resulted from the winning season. Coach Moore has completed four seasons as JV Basketball coach in Cumberland and has compiled an overall record of 55-16 with two titles. Perhaps the JV’s have received some of their inspiration from their taunting motto: “Kill or be killed, only the strong survive!” 72 SCORES The J V Baseball team, playing with basically eighth grade boys, did not have a tremendously successful season. However, the players had spirit, drive, ambi- tion, and a desire to acquire skills in the game of baseball. Outstanding players were Douglas Whaley. Matt McAbee, Gregory Gilliam, Arthur Foster, and Pat Stonnell. Gregory Gilliam displayed his improving pitching ability in an outstanding game against Goochland. He allowed 4 hits, struck-out 3, and walked 1. The “Baby Dukes finished the season with a 1-5 record. With plenty of fervor, next year’s JV team optimistically looks to the future.

I Thessalonians Active Organizations Exemplify Student Cumberland High School’s new Student Cooperative Association was a busy and enter- prising organization. It conducted various ecol- ogical campaigns such as the Clean-up-Program for the school and the Glass-Recycling Cam- paign which was a state-wide drive for the pur- pose of conservation and ecology. During the season of Christmas cheer, the SGA sponsored a door decoration contest with- in the school and a Christmas program which evoked among the students a gala mood. Their efforts were many and their energies fervent. SEATED LEFT TO RIGHT: Charita Doswell, Reporter; Peggy Turpin. Chaplain; Patricia Scales. President; Audrey Simms, Secretary; Peggy Cochran.

Character, scholarship, leadership, determination, service, and positive thinking are the ingredients that produce a member of the National Honor Society. These are the qualities that the members of the Cum- berland High School chapter who were inducted into the organization this year possessed. An induction ceremony for the new members was held in the school auditorium followed by a reception in the library for the members, their parents, and the faculty. These members wore their Honor Society pins with pride, knowing that it represented qualities of under- standing and high values in academic excellence which will hold them in good stead for the rest of their lives. 77 Parents, teachers, and members of the National Honor Society en- joy a reception for new members. Tomorrow’s Homemakers And Farmers The primary aim of the Future Farmers of America is the develop- ment of agricultural leadership, cooperation, citizenship, and patriot- ism. Other purposes include strengthening the confidence of youth in themselves and their work, improving the rural home and its surround- ings, encouraging thrift, and improving scholarship. The organization participated in the Southside Regional Public Speaking Contest where Olander Fleming placed third. This young man also conducted vesper services at the State Convention with ap- proximately 1,000 FFA members, teachers, and guests present. Behind the outstanding leadership of Olander, the Cumberland FFA chapter progressed impressively and was noted as one of the top chapters in the State. Obviously, these young men have been quite faithful to their urg- ing motto, “Learning to do. Earning to live, and Living to serve.” These officers were Olander Fleming, President; William Flippen, Vice-President; John Woodson, Secretary; Joseph McAbee, Treasurer; Leonardo Taliaferro, Reporter; and Patrick Stonnell, Sentinel.

Among the organization's activities were selling Stanley Products and Tupperware to raise money for a Viking sewing machine. Members of organizations and the community were also to speak. Spring gaiety was increased by an open house of the home economics department which included a fashion show and re- freshments. The outstanding senior in home economics was also presented a place setting of sterling silver by the indus- trious club. 79 Musical Skills Are Displayed By Band And The Cumberland High School Band partici- pated in many events during the year. Among the activities were a Christmas parade in Amherst and Farmville, the Christmas and Spring Concerts, the Tri-County Concert in Goochland, and Band Festival at Winchester. The band was always ready and willing to display their musical talents which were many. Performing at home football games and at Homecoming in October, they were continual- ly an added treat. Representatives to All-Regional Band were Claudia Dowdy, Mike Rigsby, and Patricia Scales. «tv., natw ——I � r '1 smfn $ ft ° A ( I l ’ 1 V� M fkg'MVMk} f: f r i mmm mm i M i wma a I % Led by Drum Majorette Claudia Dowdy.

The chorus spent an active year through their many endeav- ors. The members added melody to several school assemblies and club meetings. Spring joy was increased by the gay Spring Concert held in May. The chorus' activities were not only centered around and within the school but also in various functions in other areas. The members spent a weekend in Harrisonburg at the Turner- Ashby High School where they presented a program with oth- er schools for the public. They also attended the Choral Festival at Broadway High School and sang two selections. On these songs they were rated 3 out of a possible high 1 or low 5. Apparently, the chorus' year was one of continued learning and improvement. 81 Kay Lane. Debbie Ward. Berkley Pleasants, and Curtis Taylor represented Cumberland at the District V Re- gional Chorus at Dayton. Virginia. Newly Organized Clubs Attract Students The Art Club was another new organization at Cumberland. All members were required to have been previous art students or in the process of taking the course. The club sponsored one money-raising project. The members sold stationary to finance a trip to the Vir- ginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. During the yuletide season, the Art Club and the Home Economics Club attended a Christmas demon- stration involving the making of gifts and decorations. Mrs. Pleasants gave the demonstration and the mem- bers thoroughly enjoyed it. Being a new organization, the Art Club had the road of development to travel, but possessing ambi- tious aims, the members have optimistic outlooks for the future.

Obviously, an organization for those who participate in varsity sports is es- sential because it involves a working unit that can function to promote sports in the school. The club sponsored a Faculty-Senior basket- ball game for its annual All-sports Spring Ban- quet. The game was a terrific hit with both stu- dents and adults. Along with other activities, the Varsity Club members worked on plans for a score board for the school athletic field. They hope next year’s members will accomplish this goal.

The Key Club is an organization that was started in October of 1970 by an energetic group of Cumberland High School students. The purpose of this club is to remember the sick students and teachers and salute the faculty on special holidays. The friendly motto is “Happiness is giving and giving is the Key Club. At present this club is only a young organization, but the members feel it will expand and play a very important part in the lives of many Cumberland stu- dents in future years.

Looking back, we feel pride in our school, its leaders, and its students. At times we have experienced frustration and disappointment; however, these have been overshadowed by times of excitement and success. As we go our separate ways, we may dissolve our relationships but not our friendships. The seniors of 1971 worked and succeeded in printing a memory book and this was the spark we needed to inspire us to make our goal a complete annual. The main purpose of this annual is to recapture the thoughts that were ours while at Cumberland High School. Members of the DUKL staff, along with the help and guidance of Mrs. Mary Charles Smith, struggled through the steps of recapturing our school life in book form and have compiled the 1972 DUKL.
