I feel as if I'm just another face in the crowd. I must dress like everyone else, or I will stick out like a sore thumb. I must think like ev- eryone else, or my peers will think I’m weird. I must either conform to all their beliefs or be left out on a limb. I simply can’t be myself, can I? _— Okay, so I’m different, but in what ways? What qualities set me apart from the rest of the crowd? Lead- ership? Athletic ability? Scholarship? School spirit? I have to find myself, my own special qualities. I’m in search of myself, have you seen me anywhere? Who Am I? Boner ee em 4 I knever knew who I was until I went out for sports. That’s me out there on the basketball court! People know who I am. I know who I am! I play football and basketball. I run track, play soccer, play softball. I’m a cheer- leader .... I’m finding myself through sports. Dukes are in Search of a Win! Cumberland’s bright spots: David Pfeiffer and Clevand Johnson Steve Conner, Darryl Oliver, Rick Litton, and Danny Oliver on the defense. DUKES Mp3 . 4 Capts: ROW 1 D. Pfeiffer, L. Cochran, D.

The most important ingredients 7 sma {or a team of any kind, especially football, are unity, spirit, love, and faith in your teammates. The spirit of the team was stroked by their coach, Buddy Martin, who taught them to think as a family. The play- ers learned from their mistakes and gave it a great try at winning. They tried so hard and came so close and then .... something happened! Was it their confidence, their strength, or the crowd’s support? Lewis Cochran warming up.

Football Team got off to a good start this year thanks to the help and support of Gary Cosby. If you ask Coach Cosby about the team, he'll tell you that the guys didn’t really like practicing every- day, but all in all they played to their best abilities. Jarvis Jackson—10, runs for a first down. Kevin Ingle—21, runs on. Paul Seal—Number 22.

The Cheering squad really displayes spirit throughout the “Dukes” football sea- son of ’77. The cheerleaders always did their best to boast the morale of the team and its fans. They knew the Dukes had power overall to get them to the top. Unfortunately the Dukes never made it but the squad kept telling the fans that we had something nobody else has got. That's P-R-I-D-E!!

LEFT: Lisa Brightwell, and Tammy Brown say, “We know you can do it Dukes.” 11 Everybody Stand Up There was only one cheering squad this year supporting and boosting the Dukes to victory. Strained voices, red hands, and tired bodies couldn't stop the squad. The cheerleaders released themselves during ev- ery game to bring their opponents to a halt. The cheering squad stood up for the Dukes every step of the way. In times of distress and defeat the squad was there to defend and support their team. Whenever there were any doubts in the fans minds, the Cumberland High Cheering Squad would distract their worries by telling everyone to “Stand Up” and cheer for the Dukes.

With lots of determination they made their way through most of the games. Coach Gary Cosby gave the team the much needed encouragement to help them get as far as they did. So far, So good, congratulations “Little Dukes”. Kelvin Nash’s height comes in handy for shooting over Central of Lunenburg’s Chargers.

ABOVE RIGHT: Mark Stevens rises high into the air and scores. LEFT: Clevland Johnson looks to the “open man”. From the beginning the Dukes expected much success. Weekly newspaper reports made it evident that the Dukes were the “team to beat”. Led by three returning starters, forwards Dwayne Dennis and Mark Stevens (captain) and guard Clevland Johnson, and guard Ivan Robinson, opponent after opponent found out what the word “defeat” meant at the hands of the Dukes. The Dukes were victorious, for the second consecutive year at the Annual Prince Edward High School Christ- mas Tournament, with two players, Dwayne Dennis, and Cleveland Johnson named to the “All Tournament Team”. In the area statistics, Dwayne led in scor- ing with approximately 23 points per game, Mark aver- aged 13 points, and Cleveland 12. Dwayne was the Dukes leading rebounder with an average of 10 rebounds per game and Mark followed with 9. Ivan and Cleveland led the Dukes in assists averaging 5 per game. Fans and opponent knew the Dukes were a team as th ey amazed all with their new, rhymthic, before- game warm-up in which they all moved but presented to the cheering crowd a game-winning team whose ef- forts were like those of a perfect machine. Coach John- son has a new plus this year in that he had an Assistant Coach—Will Robinson, who had played on a trophy- winning team for him several years earlier. At daily practices the two coaches worked with the team and were able to present to Competitors a zone defense that proved to be a success. On offense the Dukes used the “pick”, “scramble”, ‘“four-corners”, and “fast- break” to send team after team back into the locker room with another loss in its record. 15 16 Girls Struggle Together Through Season FIRST ROW: LEFT TO RIGHT: Co-Captain: Beanna Mosby, Bridgette Evans Co-Captain Carolyn Jackson.

In their scores, even though the Dukettes consist of some of the best players ever produced from Cumberland High. Their teamwork has improved alot in the past year. With their desire to be number one the Dukettes seem to improve their playing skills each year. They keep gaining valuable experience which they will use in the future to rank as one of the best girl’s basketball teams in Virginia. We hope that ev- eryone’s confidence in the Dukettes will continue, for they show some of the best sportsmanship in this district. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Carolyn Jackson and Estelle Carter.

After school, we ran laps around the track, ran relay races, did the long jump, high jump and the pole vault. We threw the discus and shot-put and ran long- distance runs. It was hard work but we enjoyed it. There’s also a big gold trophy in the gym recognizing the Dukettes for their state Championship. After all, you don’t really know your abilities until you get out in the field, practice and find out. ABOVE LEFT: Lewis Crews takes first place in the long jump.

This is not the way every game ends up but it sure was for a few as the Dukettes had a pretty good season this year.

It seems as if everyone wants to get in on the action. Though we didn’t win any games, we did exceptionally well for a first year team, scoring 2 goals against the strong team from Varina.

I’m another Leonardo Da Vinci. I’m the lead in the school play. I never knew what authority meant until I joined the S.C.A.. Being president takes a lot of re- sponsibility and time; But out in the business world you'll need it! I’m finding myself through Clubs.

When you accept the job of being a representative, you know you are accepting a big responsibility. Be- fore accepting the job you must ask yourself one big important question, “Is this kind of commitment right for me?”’, because to serve as an effective council member I must be able to lis- ten to other’s suggestions, criticisms, and problems with an open mind, and when the time comes I must be able to personally contribute to the good of the S.C.A., and in effect the entire stu- dent body. Having decided serving on the council is for me, I have confidence in saying, “I am where the action is.!” ABOVE LEFT: Susie Randolph, ’77-’78 president-elect, reads the oath of office to Mich- elle Taperino that makes her president-elect for the upcoming year.

Only students who have outstanding records of scholarship, leadership, character and service are chosen to be in the society. Belonging to the N.H.S. says that I am somebody. 25 Happiness is ... The motto—“Happiness is Giving and Giving is the Kee Club”, gives a picturesque insight into what the club does. The Kee Club is one of the biggest service clubs at C.H.S. Each year it sponsors many activities. This year the club crowned a “Miss Kee Club”. The money raised from this project was do- nated to the Christmas Seal Fund. C.H.S. is well represented in Virginia Lung Association activities thanks to the work of Kee Club members. One of its aims is to improve relations between people, so to bring people together the club sponsored a smor- gasbord and a dance. Kee Club activities center around pro- viding service to the community, school, and its members in hopes of getting the message across that everybody is some- body important.

Club roster in back. 26 Every Monday and Wednesday during football and basketball sea- sons interested members of the Kee Club met to devise unique dance routines to the music that was most popular. These Kee Club members composed the Drill Team. Members learned to combine ballet, marching techniques, and of course “disco dancing” to make up their routines. Weekly performances gave mem- bers a chance to overcome fear of performing before a crowd. A year together taught many how to work with others to make the team a suc- cess. The Drill Team gives students an opportunity to find out what they like, what they are good at, and most importantly who they are. ABOVE LEFT: (splits) Diana Kidd, LaVerne Clark.

They helped to raise money for the soccer team equipment and uni- forms. The members also had to learn the basic skills of soccer. Prac- ticing along with the team to im- p rove its strategy was the most sup- porting factor. The members of the club are concerned about the soccer team’s future. They work and plan together to improve the overall con- ditions of the team. The members try to boost the morale of the team in times of agony and defeat. And are always there to grant con- gratulations in time of victory. They encourage spirit where ever the soc- cer team goes. They are willing to use their spare time to get the stu- dents and the fans interested in soc- cer. So soccer team watch out be- cause the soccer club boosters are behind you.

Smile Everyone The Photography Club had their hands full this year developing pic- tures for the yearbook and the C.H.S. Express. Certain members of the club prepared pictures of extracurricular activities to be placed in the local newspaper. They knew how to bring out the highlights and personal fea- tures in a picture. Sponsoring rallies and a photo bash were only a small part of their responsibilities in provid- ing entertainment. The dark room re- ceived a lot of new equipment in which the members had to keep in the best conditions. The Photography Club members worked at all times of hours to meet their deadlines along with oth- ers. So smile everyone because a mem- ber of the Photography Club may be preparing to take your picture. FIRST ROW: Kaye Johnson, Tammy Brannan, Shelia Morgan.

Miss Shelby Shelton has done a very good job with the band this year. The Stage Band who is sometimes called the “Pep or Jazz Band” is a spark to any concert. When the Stage Band performs, suddenly “Silent Night” isn’t silent anymore. Who are we?

You can express yourself in soprano, alto, bass, or whatever your pitch is. Besides practice sessions and singing for sheer amusement, the chorus put on a spec- tacular concert which was open to the public. People have said that one can find himself through mu- sic ... well here at C.H.S. this is truly possible. “Ain’t No Half-Steppin” “Ain’t No Half-Steppin” is what the C.H.S. Flag Core says. With practice and determination, they made spec- tacular performances in parades, leading the band. With the help of Miss Shelby Shelton they were able to make it all work this year. 3S The Producers We're the producers. We spend most of the year working on the Duke. Putting together a yearbook is not as easy as some people think. It’s a tough job getting pictures, copy, a page design, and imagina- tion down on paper. It’s an even tougher job raising over $4,000 to cover production cost. We’re a group of people trying to work as one. We take many ideas and try to tie them together. We’re many, we're one.

Half time, queen candidates were es- courted on the field. They were Jeanette Pleasants, Lillian Sims, and Pearl Mosby. Darryl] Oliver, the captain of the football team, crowned Jeanette Pleasants queen. The Dukes were defeated by Gooch land. The Homecoming Dance was held in the Cumberland High School Gymna- sium and the Music was provided by the Improvised Sound.

The theme of this year’s prom—We may never pass this way again—was carried out in an imaginative way. Mu- sic was provided by the May’s and Company band. The atmosphere of the prom set the mood for an enjoyable and romantic evening that those who attended will never forget. 47 Plays of '78 The plays at CHS were really great in ’78. All of them, The Brick and the Rose, Judgement Morning, and Hello Dolly were really fantastic. Ms. Prillaman, Mr. Cocke, and Mr. Harrison really did a good job with all of them this year. Rick Litton plays the part of Gaff in The Brick and the Rose.

There were many members in the cast and the crew, which called for a lot of hard work with little time to do it in. Hard work and long hours were a part of all plays, but when you're really per- forming in front of a crowd it is worth it.

These young people have sought out and found some positive answers in the search for themselves. The honors they received weren't given to them for any unworthy reason. These students have been working hard all year and have achieved a level of excellence that is to be admired by all.

The 1977-78 Dukes are the Group A, Boy’s Basketball State Cham- pions. In their long climb to the top the team accomplished much. After their lost to Buckingham by a score of 43 to 44, Cumberland ended the season with wins over Lunenburg—62 to 49, over Powhatan—64 to 48, Fluvanna—70 to 54 and Amelia—71 to 35. The Dukes suf- fered the fourth and final lost of their career when Clover Hill defeated them 36 to 39. The regular season ended with a win over Prince Edward 62 to 51, and a district record of 13-3 and an all game record of 16-4 going into district tournament play.

The Dukes won the semi-finals in regional com- petition with a win over Elkton High School and became Region B Boys’ Basketball Champions when they de- feated defending state champions Madison High School with a score of 51 to 43.

We know who we are—teachers and encouragers of learning. No we are helping others find themselves. Faculty Administration We, the administration, really feel that our job is very important. We make many important decisions, decisions that some- times the students don’t like very much, but as always the decisions are made in their be- half and for their best interest.

Senior pictures (drapes, enviromental, cap gown), announcements, class dues, cap gown, class key, class trip ... boy does it add up . Like they say “You're only a senior once.” thank goodness! That’s all I can afford. 77 It has been quite a journey. Twelve years seems like a long time (2 3 of most of our lives), but now that I look back, it seems as if it was only yesterday I was a scared little kid, in First grade. In this span of years I’ve learned a a lot—about history, math, English ... but most impor- tantly about people, about myself.

Never- theless, getting organized was only a small part of tackling the problems we found we were to face.

We learned it was hard for so many different people to come up with an idea that pleased all. There were times when we felt like giving up but what is most important is that we didn’t. We found that if we were to accomplish what we had set out to do we had to have faith in each other. We were determined to learn to relate to one another and work as one.

Each person must take time to analyze his beliefs, and himself in order to decide which path is the best path for him. Many have de- cided to use this year to explore many avenues. We spend time read- ing books, talking to counselors, adults, and peers hoping to find some answers. Some have found that joining clubs, and doing volun- teer work helps them to find a part of the answer to that all important question, “Who Am I?” Am I a leader? a follower?, or maybe even both????

RIGHT: Cindi Overton prepares to spend another day at C.H.S. wera! We have found that answering that question—“Who Am I?”, is something that must be done, but is not easy to do. It’s true that some have the answer but still others only have a part of the answer. The one thing we all have come to realize is that the future we're preparing for is not very far away. Soon we won't be able to think about Who Am I,” We'll have to know the answer so we can choose the careers, and lifestyles that will enable us to live the fullfilling lives we’ve all dreamed of. 88 Custodians and the Cooks do their jobs The cooks and custodians did a great job this year.

We’ve come a long way, but we still have a ways to go to make center stage. We’re too old for bicycles, but we’re not old enough for our “own” car.

I am new in this big world, fighting and struggling to come on top. It doesn’t cost me anything to get involved. So I'll just jump those obstacles in my way, and look at life in a clear view. Placing the most important first will help me elimi- nate the small mistakes and learn from them also. There is no time for stumbling. No, No. I am a person who can't take much.

When we do something it has to be done right. No cutting corners, making ex- cuses, or leaving a job unfinished. Completion is our goal in everything that we do. Plans are made ahead of time so absolutely nothing will be forgotten. When we set our minds to it there is no stopping us. When a job is completed to its best we are willing to stand behind it all the way. Grade A work is what we put-out. No defects or faults.

Okay, okay, the joke isn’t funny anymore. I want my book. What? ... Where is it? On top of the building! What’s next? 104 Freshmen mingle with others in English class. Who am I?

Maybe we are almost the youngest, but we try to make our age and inexperience up with our will to learn. Now we can finally be proud to be called Rookies, for we understand that the name that others label you with doesn’t mean any- thing as long as you have confidence in yourself. To us, “Rookies” mean that we are yet inexperienced and that we have a long way to go before we are ready to be on our own.

Maybe we are only eighth graders, but we aren’t the youngest at C.H.S. Most upper classmen look down on us even though we try to win their respect.

Coming to the high school has given us a new scope on school. We now realize what a time we had given the younger grades at the elementary school because now we are the lower grade—what a switch!

Our teachers and upperclassmen helped in this education, and we thank them for all their consideration. Left top: Scott Stevens and James Watson work at their as- signments.

We didn’t quite fit the title, “New Breed.” We grew accustomed to our surroundings and friends. Now we're won- dering whether or not we would rather be the people we were when we started here. Next year, will we be known as the old sea sna breed? ABOVE: Seventh graders enjoy math class. BELOW: Mr. Davis and Lionel Brown learn about plants.

Not necessarily in height but in mind and manners. We’ve come to the conclusion that being youngest and smallest isn’t everything. We have our own unique and individual ideas too! We’re glad this school year’s about over, but we'll miss it. Soon we won't be known as “New Breed”, and we'll miss the nickname. Wonder what name we'll get next year— “Old Breed”?
