Cumberland High School - Duke Yearbook (Cumberland, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1974 volume:

1 ,■ ' A THE DUKE ' 73-74 CHS Another year has come and gone—another year charac¬ terized by change. Words like WATERGATE, ENERGY CRISIS, and FUEL SHORTAGE have become a part of our everyday vocabulary. These words are identified with con¬ cepts, concepts that have caused major changes, not only in our nation’s life, but also in our life here at Cumberland High School. We came to the realization that Cumberland is not isolated from the nation, but is indeed a part of it and must share in its crisis times, just as much as the large cities. On a national level, large scale projects have been developed to conserve our fuel and energy. Here at Cumberland, we have turned down thermostats, formed car pools, rerouted buses, and changed school hours from 104 in an effort to help our nation. All of these seemed like major changes at the time, but we have learned to live with them. We have also learned to live with changes within our school system. A new superintendent, a new principal, and new teachers have come into the school community with new personalities, new ideas, and new methods. Dances and sock hops have come back on the scene, more school activities have been added, and school functions have be¬ come important. Cumberland High School showed its school spirit as it rooted its football team to the best season ever, and its basketball team to the district tournament. All of this signifies change—but this is good—the world has not stood still; neither has Cumberland. Students are leaving now; many will return in the fall, but the seniors are ready to go out and take their place in the changing world. Because of the changes they have experienced this year and the flexibility they have shown, they will be able to cope in the world more effectively. ;,VA DEDICATION He is a man who we, the students of Cumberland High, owe a great deal. He has remained the tradition of Cumber¬ land throughout the transition period. Although our ideals and ideas have changed since he first stepped into th ese buildings, he has remained constant. He has been here for 28 years, watched shoes change from wing tips, penny loafers, and high heels to tennis shoes and platform shoes, watched hair go from crew cuts and curls to bushes or long and straight, seen talent shows and proms go by, heard more bells and shared more joys and apprehensions with us than anyone else here now ever could. He never seems to be too tired or it is never too late for him to help us. He is the first one to arrive and the last one to leave. He sees the school as his home and us as his family. It is because of his genuine concern for us as students and people that he has gained our respect and admiration. When he smiles, we smile; from his confidence and support, we have learned to be more considerate. No one could match his services to us; he is one of the finest Dukes Cumberland could have ever had. For these reasons, we proudly dedicate the 1974 DUKE to Mr. Harold Gary. 3 WORK “Good morning, class.” (Mrs. Simonini) “This morning we’re going to talk about. . “Will we ever finish?” (Jayne and Teresa Mendez) ABOVE: Phillip Gilliam.

Among these is that of instituting a new building program and of expanding the curriculum to meet the needs of every student. Mr. Bartlett has been very efficient as our new principal this year. He has instigated changes in our student life, many involving in¬ creased student activities. He has also been instrumental in insti¬ tuting student and faculty handbooks. The school board functions as the center of decision making for the Cumberland County Schools. The administration carries out these policies determined by the board. 12 Mr. Robeson, assistant superintendent, is a friendly face around campus. •JWl • % Mr. Clarence Lawson, in addition to teaching U.S. History, Music Appreciation, and World History, serves as our assistant principal. He has the responsibilities of working with students concerning problems and suggestions for change. Mrs. Adele Watkins has among her many responsibilities those of scheduling, counseling and assisting juniors and seniors with voca¬ tional and college plans. Since Mrs. Putney has been at Cumberland she has proved to be benefi¬ cial to both the students and faculty. Her love of books does not stop at the C.H.S. library. This year she was given the Volunteer of the Year award by the Cumberland Woman’s Club for cataloging over two thousand books for the county’s public library. 13 MRS.

No, not quite, as blazing Burger handles the ball. Evidently the strategy pictured above worked for the faculty as they narrowly defeated the senior girls in a closely fought game. There were lots of exciting moments: Mrs. Smith trying her hand at catching, Mrs. Simonini making a hero of herself at third base, and Mrs. Burger being the spark plug of the infield. The senior girls made a valiant effort, the score being tied until the last inning, but the women’s faculty finally got in all together. It’s a hit! 33 OPPOSITE PAGE FAR LEFT: Big Wheel and the Hubcaps entertain at the 50’s dance. MIDDLE: Fan Club member faints and Drs. Quick and Quack rush to her aid at the 50’s pep rally.

WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!” S-U-C-C-E-S-S is what varsity cheering squad accomplished for the 1973-74 football and basketball seasons. They cheered the football team to their best season ever and the basketball team to their number three position in the James River District. Basketball cheering captain Shelia Sloan, who was named to the All District Cheering Squad, and co-captain Ann West showed spirit which never died, throughout the two seasons. We’ll look forward to seeing most of these young ladies next year, because how can we lose, with the stuff they’ll use?

They didn’t mind practicing, losing scores, or cold weather. Their spirit stayed with them, even if the games seemed to be a lost cause. The girls became more and more popular toward the season’s end. Pearl Mosby and Darlene Robertson, rookies, Gonzalee Mosby, Ellen Johnson, and Cordell West, freshmen, co-captain Linda Wiley, and captain Stephanie Hicks made up the squad. We’re sure you’ll see most, if not all, of these fine chicks right back out there on the football field next year. They never worry about losing games, because, as they put it, “If you don’t get it the first time, you gotta back up and try it again.” 64 “KEEP THE FAITH!” The 1973 Junior Varsity football team’s motto for this past season should have been, “We may not be the best, but we try harder.” This was certainly true of our squad. The team, led by Coach Harrison, and co-captains Wayne Con¬ ner and Keith Bollinger put forth a tremendous effort during every game. The main purpose of Junior Varsity sports is to train boys for the time when they will play on Varsity teams. Although our sophomore players should be much improved and will be playing Varsity football next year, our younger players will still have a year or two to improve their football skills before advancing to Varsity.

The final record of five wins and five losses passed the expectations of many preseason predictors. The Dukes were led by a stubborn defense and a rapidly improv¬ ing offense. The highlights of the season were numerous. Opening day victory over Sussex of Central, blanking Fork Union 10-0, and the thumbing of Goochland were particu¬ larly enjoyed. The offense was led by the fine passing of Pat Stonnell, solid running by Baber and Whaley, and the all around play of versatile David Pleasants. The offensive line, anchored by Ernie McAbee, Wayne Lipscomb, and Mike Oliver, enjoyed a very fine season. The “Zero Gang” de¬ fense, registering five shutouts, was led by Captain Don Nuckols, Doug Whaley, Mike Oliver, Malcolm Vannoy, Ru¬ fus Drew, Marvin Mayo, Gene Shores, and David Baber. Coach Funkhouser and Coach Pelot extend congratulations to a fine team and thank the school body for their support. Battling Baber taunts Goochland defenders with “Catch me if you can”!! m am.

They ended the season with a 7—7 district record and an 8—10 overall record. Scoring was led by Billy “The Gun” Trent with a total of over three hundred, giving him an average of eleven points per game. Harold “Buster” Carter pulled down the most rebounds with a total of over one hundred and thirty. First in assists was “Sly” Sylvester Lipscomb, who was a newcomer to the team. “Pistol” Percell Johnson, “Able” Abraham Lang- home, “Dynamite” Daniel Robinson, “Cool” Curtis Gil¬ liam, and “Wee” Willie Allen boosted the team to their many victories. Adding their great skills to the team, other than those mentioned, were: “Rockin’” Robin Johnson, Taylor “Tate” Langhorne, Cruising” Charles Austin, “Truckin’” Herman Trent, Randy “The Big R” Bryant, Billy “The Bomb” Liggins, Randy “Bad Man” Clemons, and Raymond Langhorne, better known as “Cool Pop.” They all showed great skills on and off the court. Most will be back next year, and whether they play J.V. or varsity their talents are sure to shine through. So watch out — cause they’ll be cornin’ at you, BIG, BAD, and BOLD!

The squad composed of three sophomores, three freshmen, and two rookies put a spell on the crowd whenever they got on the floor.

Donald Charles Harold Lennie The varsity DUKES celebrated a season that will long be remembered as one of the best. The DUKES ended the 1973-74 basketball season with an overall record of 11-11 and a district record of 9-7, which put them in the No. 3 position. With luck the DUKES record could have been better. They lost four games by a total of 9 points; Clover- hill 69-71, Prince Edward 66-67, Powhatan 74-76, Bucking¬ ham 70-74. Although the DUKES were defeated by the Fluvanna Flucos in the tournament semi-finals, they left the spectators and other team astonished at the skill and co-ordination of this young team. Senior, Lennie “the man” Taliaferro led the team in scoring with a total of 292 points and an average of 13 points per game, he was also named Most Valuable Player of the year and the Most Improved Player of the year. Charles Hatcher led in rebounding with 181 and Donald Nuckols came in second with 180. The man with the most assists was captain Harold Hatcher, with 125. All were varsity players previously. The men up from J.V., this year, psyched out opponents who failed to realize what dynamite talents they possessed. Big, Bad Cecil Scott highlighted the season when he scored 33 points and grabbed 20 rebounds for the season highs, at Goochland. Matt “the gnat” Allen came in second in assists with 109, and Jerry Wilson came in second in scoring with SCORES CUMBERLAND OPPONENT 61 Bluestone 81 74 Clove rhill 72 75 Goochland 73 55 Fluvanna 71 CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT 65 Buckingham 94 59 Prince Edward 64 77 Prince Edward 58 74 Buckingham 86 64 Bluestone 72 77 Amelia 52 74 Powhatan 76 76 Randolph Henry 55 92 Goochland 66 59 Fluvanna 55 66 Powhatan 64 66 Prince Edward 67 70 Buckingham 74 76 Randolph Henry 65 49 Amelia 47 69 Clove rhill 71 TOURNAMENT 65 Powhatan 56 59 Fluvanna 77 71 DUKETTES ON THE MOVE SCORES CUMBERLAND OPPONENTS 17 Goochland 38 33 Fluvanna 51 35 Buckingham 42 39 Amelia 28 45 Clover Hill 32 35 Prince Edward 37 34 Powhatan 47 26 Goochland 41 28 Fluvanna 47 51 Buckingham 48 27 Amelia 28 25 Prince Edward 26 50 Clover Hill 44 30 Powhatan 55 Adrienne Gilliam sinks a foul shot.

The team failed to acquire the ability to score and to be consistent in capitalizing on the mistakes that oc¬ curred in the games. Good Points About Team—Our team possessed the traits of quickness and endurance which gave us a tremendous advantage over all of the other teams in the district. Players were determined and each individual improved each game. No other team could have fulfilled the goals and desires that I held as a coach and with each player there exists memories of what was accomplished this year and of what could be accomplished next year. The team will possess experience, determination, and skills, all of which will be advantageous to us next year. High Scorer for Season—Sheila Hatcher with an average of 11.5 points per game. Leading Offensive Rebounder—Adrienne Gilliam with an average of 2.3 rebounds per game. Leading Defensive Rebounder—Carol Rose with an average of 5.2 rebounds per game.

The 1974 season was highlighted by the come from behind victory of Prince Edward and the final game victory over Goochland. The team was led by the senior tri-captains David Pleasants, Ernie McAbee, and Chico Lipscomb. The most valuable player and leading hitter was David Pleasants with a .363 batting average. The pitching was handled by Gene Shores, Pat Stonnell and Marvin Meadows, who won six games while losing none. With the steady improvement of the young Duke team, Coach Bill Pelot predicts a stand¬ out season for the Cumberland baseball team of 1975. Tri-Captains Ernie McAbee, Wayne Lipscomb, and David Pleasants discuss lineup and strategy for an important upcoming game.

They ended in a strong fashion as Cumberland took second in the district and tenth in a field of ninety in the state meet. A young team, Cumberland promises to be the track team to win in the district as well as being a strong favorite in the regional and state competi¬ tion next year. Cumberland’s track team finished with a 4-2 record. The opening loss was accompanied by a heart break¬ ing loss to Fluvana. There are several record holders that will return next year; Alfred Trent in the high and low hurdles, Matthew Allen in the 100 yard dash and 220 yard dash, Marvin Mayo in the 440 yard dash, and Marcellus Robinson in the half- mile and mile run. These will be accompanied by other strong competitors such as Walter Rohde, Ronnie Rohde, Malcolm Vannoy, Joey Companion, Lynn Blanton, Syl¬ vester Brown and Curtis Blanton. 77 OOH, AH, ON THE BALL ROW 1 (L. to R.): Jeanette Rohde, Kim Wortham, Ruby Johnson, Eleanora Gilliam.

The 1973-74 Girls Softball team posted a 5-7 record. At the beginning of the season it appeared that the team consisted of several versatile and skillful players along with a strong desire to win. Even though the team possessed the talent and depth to have a winning season, they lacked the experience of teamwork and poise that a championship team needs. In several games the defensive techniques would be performed at the highest skill level but were not balanced out by the offensive techniques, and vice versa. After working together this season and having the nu¬ cleus of the team return next season, the team should produce one of the top teams in the district.

Student government is an important part of any high school because it is the only organization to which each of us belongs. We are represented, however, by one member from each homeroom. It is they who serve as the SCA council. Since they represent us, the council’s goals revolve around us and the school. This year they have been in¬ volved in numerous projects, including: both hosting and attending district meetings, sponsoring a record hop, and purchasing a first aid kit for the s chool. A project which was quite successful with the students was the showing of “The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit” and “Pink Panther,” two popular comedies. When plans are finalized for a school sign, the SCA will contribute a large portion towards pay¬ ment. Their hard work, varied projects, and willingness to work, combined with the leadership of the sponsor, Mrs. Simonini, and the student government officers makes them an extremely worthwhile organization. 82 TOMORROW’S LEADERS The National Honor Society officially began its year with a “tapping ceremony” based on the theme “Unsung Heros of America.” The program capitalized on the four major qualities required of National Honor Society mem¬ bers: leadership, character, scholarship, and service. It was stressed, however, that many times those qualities are not recognized as in the cases of the “unsung heroes” which history books do not record. The program ended with the tapping of fourteen new members. These fourteen new members together with the older members then began the year’s activities which included: attending the state convention in Williamsburg, conducting several bake sales, collecting several items for a needy family, and attending Longwood College’s Consumerism Symposium.

The band also felt the crunch of the energy crisis this year as excursions and trips were somewhat limited. However, enthusiasm and vitality saw no shortage. During the football season the band performed regularly at home games. A fine performance at the Farmville Christ¬ mas parade earned the band a second place trophy. Christmas and Spring concerts were presented for the fifth straight year and many compliments were gratefully received on the hard work and dedication put forth. Although the energy crisis somewhat limited the spring parade activity, the band still turned in good showings at the Regional Festival and Solo Ensemble Festival. Cumberland had the pleasure of hosting the Tri-County Festival this year. The three day workshop was attended by the Powhatan and Goochland bands. Only one parade in¬ vitation could be accepted. That was to Statesville, North Carolina for the Dogwood Festival. Regretfully for band members, invitations had to be declined to the Apple Blos¬ som Festival in Winchester, the Dogwood Festival in Knoxville, and a week-long concert tour in Jamaica. But, all in all, the Cumberland High School band turned in an active year full of fun-filled, educational activities. 84 “FORWARD MARCH!!” Mr. Lamphere, above, is the heart of the band’s success. His un¬ relenting fervor is the force behind any claim to fame the band holds. As performance times neared, through night rehearsals, and through all the trials of keeping everyone quiet, he remained hard¬ working and dedicated to the final result of a finished performance. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks a lot!!! 85 KEE CLUB “Happiness is giving and giving is the KEE Club,” is the motto for the school’s service club. This year’s activities included: celebrating their third anniversary with a birthday party, saluting the teachers on a special day, sending get well cards to ill students who are at home, sending roses to those in the hospital, conducting the Christmas Seal Drive, conducting a clean-up campaign, sponsoring a field trip, supporting an Anti-Smoking and Pollution Week program, and sending Ginny Munoz, Ann West, and Mrs. Scales- as delegates to the Virginia Lung Association meeting. Due to a paper shortage another project, the school newspaper, was impossible to print. Special recognition should be given to Steve Harris, who founded the KEE Club.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America is an organization that practices agricultural leadership, citizenship, and coopera¬ tion. It is one of the most diversified organizations at CF1S. This year the organization placed second in the Federation Forestry Contest, presented two programs on WFLO Radio: one on Christmas safety, the other on National FFA Week, competed in the Federation Public Speaking Contest, and had a Degree Team. Throughout the year the FFA enjoyed a variety of speakers covering such topics as “Duties of Virginia State Police” by Trooper Turner, “Drug Abuse” by representatives from Rubicon, and “Water Safe¬ ty” by Game Warden Jackie Newman. When a school sign is erected it will have been partially funded by the FFA. The FFA concluded the year with its annual Parent-Son Ban¬ quet and by sending delegates to the State FFA Convention held at VPI SU in Blacksburg, Virginia.

F H A The Future Homemakers of America is the national organization of girls and boys studying homemaking in high schools. As an integral part of the homemaking program F.H.A. provides opportunities for students to have addi¬ tional experiences in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. Each year membership of the Cum¬ berland High School F.H.A. club develops a program of work including projects and experiences which will help them work toward the purposes. The local program of work is based on personal, family, and community needs. This year’s local program included selling personalized station¬ ery, watching a Bonnie Bell representative demonstrate make-up application, and listening to three representatives from the company give the members suggestions about ways they could take part in their community. 89 FIRST ROW (L.

VARSITY CLUB Dottie Oertel, Cindy McAbee, Sheila Hatcher, Rachael Brown and Susan Turner sell drinks at a home basketball game. The Varsity Club, made up of students who compete in varsity sports and cheering, has been very busy with many projects to raise money for the Sports Banquet. The club made arrangements for and conducted the powder puff foot¬ ball game and alumni football game. They also raised money by selling drinks at home basketball games and selling trash cans. The Varsity Club meets once a month under the super¬ vision of Mr. Larry Funkhouser. The officers are: Ernie McAbee-president; Keven Caleb—vice-president; Ann West—secretary; and Marvin Mayo—treasurer. 90 The basic purpose of the Cumberland Health Careers Club is to guide those boys and girls who are interested in some field of the health services, and consider and take those steps necessary to the wise selection of a suitable, satisfying, and profitable career. HEALTH CAREER CLUB The Club has the following objectives: 1. To introduce and help students become aware of the many occupations in the health services. 2. To give students the opportunities to study occupations, characteristics, requirements, compensations, satisfactions, and outlook for tjose entering various health careers. 3. To assist students in learning a procedure for analyzing their own abilities, personality traits, values and interest, and to impress upon them the importance of comparing these with the specific career requirements of their selec¬ tion. 4. To identify students interested in health careers and to provide motivation, encouragement and guidance in helping them to explore procedure necessary to realize their voca¬ tion. 5. To provide input into curriculum development. SEATED L. TO R.: Rosemary Trent, Caroline Higgins, Adrienne Gilliam, Vice Pres., Patty Mendez, Pres., Debbie Whaley, Mrs. P. C.

Although the Forensic Team of C.H.S. is fairly new, many students have shown interest in it and have participat¬ ed in various meets. The main purpose of the forensic contests is to motivate participation in and to improve the level of forensic activities among Virginia high school stu¬ dents. The team competed in the James River District competition and had three winners: Edward Foster — First Place Boy’s in Original Oratory, Bobby Flippen — Third Place in Boy’s Prose Reading, and Mitzi Turner — Third Place in Spelling. Others competing were: William Flippen in Boy’s Extemporaneous, Terri Hicks in Girl’s Original Oratory, Audrey Simms in Girl’s Poetry Reading, and Allen McClellan in Boy’s Poetry Reading. Edward Foster, having qualified for the Regional Foren¬ sic meet, competed again and placed First in Boy’s Original Oratory. Although Edward did not place in the state meet in Charlottesville, his ratings ranged from excellent to superior. The team also participated in Longwood’s Annual Invita¬ tional Forensic Meet, repeating the three-win record. Billy Black won Second Place in Boy’s After Dinner Speech, David Goodman won Third Place in Boy’s Dramatic Solilo¬ quy, and Terri Hicks won Fourth Place in Girl’s Original Oratory. Others who participated were: Bobby Flippen — Boy’s Serious Prose, Martha Moorefield — Girl’s Serious Prose, Donna Franklin — Girl’s Humerous Prose, Stewart Grant — Boy’s Humerous Prose, Allen McClellan — Boy’s Serious Poetry, Linda Morgan — Girl’s Humerous Poetry, Phillip Ra — Boy’s Humerous Poetry, Edward Foster — Boy’s Original Oratory, William Flippen — Boy’s Extempo¬ raneous, Audrey Simms — Girl’s Humerous Soliloquy, and 93 Harry Berger — Boy’s Serious Soliloquy.

Because of the freezing weather and the final score of the game, Homecoming might have been termed a disaster by many. To those who came to the game and dance, however, it proved to be a very enjoyable evening. The highlight of the night’s activities was the halftime per¬ formance by the band, during which time the queen, Nellie Hendricks, was crowned.

By the time the main speak¬ er, Mr. Paulus Price, Superintendent of Cumberland County Schools, rose to speak thoughts had turned to “I hope this doesn’t take too long.” As they listened; however, they found that this was not the ordinary graduation speech, but one full of wit, not boring at all. Finally, the big moment came, Mr. Clarence Lawson, assistant principal, presented the class as candidates for graduation to the principal, Mr. Herman Bartlett. They were then received as graduates and awarded their diplomas by Mr. Bartlett. Among various awards presented were the Crisco Home¬ maker Award to Christine James and the Public Speaking Award to Edward Foster. ABOVE: Yvonne Brown, Katherine Baker, Michelle Beard, and Audrey Simms show how it feels to be “free.” BELOW: Melvin Gilliam, Shelia Hatcher, Lennie Taliaferrio and, Peggy Cochran mirror the smile that says, “It’s all over.” RIGHT: Audrey Simms, as a 1974 graduate gets ready to embark on the next phase of her life. 103 THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the senior class of 1974 of Cumberland High School, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.
