We’ve Got It Spirit is obviously a major ingredient involved in the mak- ing of a successful basketball team. The CHS Cheerleaders are truly the keys that unlock spirit’s doors here at Cumberland. Through many hours of practice and much hard work, they are able to successfully promote spirit throughout the student body in pep rallies, as well as in the actual games themselves. Just like all “Dukes,” the CHS Cheerleaders have really got it!! UPPER LEFT: Laverne Robinson “spreads her wings” on the gym floor during a time out at Buckingham.

Improving with Age During the 1978-79 Basketball season, the J.V. Basket- ball team began to surprise CHS. Unlike last year, the team was undefeated in District competition and during most of their games they scored over 100 points. The J.V. Basketball team was also honored by having one of their own teammates, Jarvis Jackson, become Mr. Basketball 1979. With their defensive and offensive skills that they worked hard on, the team became the best that Cumber- land had ever produced. Their ability to work together was perhaps one of the team’s greatest assets. LEFT: Robert Jackson guards a Central-Lunenburg player at an away game.
