Cumberland, VA 23040 ie 1980 Volume vin A New Day, A New Way Each new day brings with it a challenge. Whether it’s a homework assignment, a classroom assignment, or even hitting a baseball isn’t important. What is important is that Cumberland High School is preparing us to meet these challenges rather than to put them aside or give them to someone else. They are preparing us to meet each new day head on through classroom in- struction, counseling, by giving us an educa- tion that will enable us to think for our- selves, to solve the problems that each new day brings. Most of all though, they are helping to shape us into adults who are ready to think and find new ways to face the challenges that each day brings.

Iran, Afgha- nistan, and inflation are problems that we all are concerned about, but at CHS we also have problems. They are not as important, but to us they are. Discipline, student indifference, and academic problems are just a few; but through evaluation, special activities, and classes we are solving these problems and looking for- ward to the new decade.

New friendships ... new classes ... a new sign out front ... new teacher and even new fads such as shirts with button down collars. All of these and much more are indicators of the changes that each year brings; but what do these things mean to us and CHS? It means that we must all in a sense start each year anew. We must put aside some of the past and work even harder, so that not only can each student be a success, but CHS as well. TOP: The greenhouse has added not only to the size, but also to the curriculum at CHS. RIGHT: Mr. Meinhard looks out of his window to see who is disturbing the start of his sixth period class. decade to being a wil Go Get ’Em Football, the roughest, toughest sport in the school, is one sport that is well attended at CHS. Although this year’s record wasn’t as good as last year’s, the team did put in a lot of hard practice. We won the Homecoming game and tied Amelia, making the record 1-8-1. Even though the decade started off as a slow year, Lonnie Foster, defensive end, and Freeman Wallace, defensive tackle, did make all-district. Looking forward to the new decade as some do for the new day, there are new plans and changes in old rules to fit the new way of game play.

OUR FIRST WIN! On the night of October 12, residents of Cumber- land and Monacan gathered on Cumberland soil to watch the two teams battle. It was Homecoming ‘79 and the Dukes were determined to gain a win and this seemed a better time than any. The proud Dukes came on strong and we finnally obtained our first win of the season with a score of Cumberland, 14 and Monacan, 8. Homecoming Queen Candidates for the ‘79 season were (top to bottom): Verna Langhorne, Diane Allen, Deliane Hackney, Kim Newman, Kathy Pleasants, Andreal Shelton. Homecoming Queen, Verna Langhorne, stands proudly with her escort. Robert Jackson, 85, quarterback, decides to carry ball but is unfortunately tackled.

There were (from left to right): Betsy Ellerman, Betty Blanton, LaVerne Robinson, Chanel Vaughan, Cheryl Langhorne, Jennifer Pleasants, Edwina Evans. Quarterback Robert Jackson, 85, throws the pass that caused triumph within all Dukes. Bernard Jones, 10, decides that the Monacan player has gone far enough with the ball and finally tackles him. Lonnie Foster, 32, is determined to make a touchdown but he tackled and obtains yardage.

Better Luck Next Time This year’s JV football team did not present themselves as conceited players who knew they’d win but did get on the field and with the pride i of being a Duke we’ve failed to beat all the teams in the area but we do hope we learned from our various mistakes. By learning we will be able to become some of the best players on the Dukes Varsity football team and keep the proud name, ‘‘Dukes”, known and respected. 12 You Asked for it, You got it ... Spirit! A lot is to be said for the Varsity Cheerleaders, who have really let their voices be heard above the crowds. Ever-faithful to our Dukes, the CHS Cheerleaders have always been there to encourage and enhance the spirit of the student body and, of course, the players. Spirit is what it’s all about, and they've given their all to see that we've got it.

After successfully winning the State Title two times in a row, the upcoming players, most of whom came from the JV squad, faced many predictions and rumors that they wouldn’t win again this year. The 1979-80 Varsity Basketball team put in a lot of hard practice and effort to prove that we could once again be NO 1 in the District and once again gain priviledges of traveling to Harrisonburg to battle for the State Title. All was accomplished, only this year we returned home — defeated. The defeat affected us in many more ways than met the eye, yet, even though we did not accomplish a set goal of winning State once again, but our season record of 21-2-0 gives us the right to be the James River District Champions, one more time!

The 1979-80 Junior Varsity Basketball team did just that. They did not hit scores off 100 like last year. But the game was played with a lot of excitement. Not only was the game an exciting experience, it was a chance to train future Varsity players, train them so that the Dukes will be and remain the No. 1 team in the district. JV players practice hard and learn a lot from which they will benefit if they intend to continue playing basketball. Even though a lot of the players came out for the first time, they showed no sign of fear but did show they also were proud to be in a Duke uniform and they could play with the ability that a Duke is known to have.

Spirit was soaring high at CHS this year, due to the fact that the JV Cheerleaders were loaded with enthusiasm. The enthusiasm is obviously a plus in their goal to enhance school spirit. Many hours of hard work and practice go into their routines as can be seen by the excitement they arouse at pep rallies and games. They are truly “stepping up” to become the Varsity Cheerleaders of tomorrow. UPPER LEFT: Sandy Reisner, Mary Ellerman, Georgia Hicks, Lisa Asal, and Chanel Vaughan perform during a pep rally.

This was a surprise because it seems that girl’s basketball is gradually taking on the interest of many female athletes. The girl’s on both teams practice hard and work consistently to achieve the utmost in pride. The season records were not very outstanding, but during the season the girls were always striving for the best. 18 Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Cumberland Goochland Powhatan Fluvana Buckingham Central Amelia Prince Edward Goochland Powhatan Fluvana Buckingham Central Amelia Prince Edward LEFT: Ms. Tillerson watches the girls at practice the day before a big game.

They tried their hardest but a small team is out distanced in big competition. The girls tried their hardest and for the most part their efforts paid off. Verna Langhorne and Chenell Vaughn went to state placed fourth in the state and Wendy Gilliam, Verna Langhorne, and Chenell Vaughn placed Sth in the state.

Lots of hard work resulted in a 6-8 season. We almost made it to the tournament played in Buckingham, but were defeated by Prince Edward in the final game of the season. We are a hard hitting ball club, despite our youth. One of our members, Jeff Scales was 2nd Team All District.

A lot of practice and a few scrimmages with other teams enabled us to go out there and win. As the season progressed, we worked even harder and learned a lot. Next year we are looking forward to a position on the varsity squad.

The SCA plays an important part in the lives of the students. We sponsor projects to brighten the ususal hum drum days. We are also the ones behind the Homecoming Dance.

We have to work to stay where we are and to prepare for tomorrow. ABOVE LEFT: The 1979-80 officers, Row 1: Kathy Pleasants, Vice- President; Tammy Brown, Treasurer.

We take tours of business school or have speakers to come and tell us about their schools. We have projects in business to help us make money such as selling doughnuts and football programs. We are saving our money to buy a photocopy machine for the Clerk-Typist classes. We try to pave the paths for our future leaders in the world of business.

We locate jobs for our members and train them to be able to get jobs. DECA is an organization that helps students find and get jobs. It trains students how to do an interview, how to run a cash register, and how to do many other things that are useful in the career market. So, when opportunity knocks, open the door and find in it a better future. TOP LEFT: Bonnie Watson looks over the display case. TOP RIGHT: Barbara Copeland takes off with the loot.

The addition of Miss Barron as our sponsor, a lot of new members, and the loss of a number of others has meant that the Drama Club has had to start from scratch. This has meant that we have not been able to do many of the things we would have wished to do, such as having a spring production. However, we were able to have a one-act play which taught us a lot about drama and acting and that is one of the best things we did all year: learn.

We have excelled in drama and all the many things that are involved with it, whether it’s acting or designing sets. We have worked with other productions and also this year’s one-act play, which was sponsored by the Drama Club. All of us are active members of drama; we help not only ourselves, but also others to act out their parts and make drama at CHS a success.

Success Through Speech Although a lot of our members were new to forensics, the CHS forensics squad managed to turn in a very good year. Led by our skilled leader, Ms. Dreama McMillan, we performed in Longwood Invitational and the district forensics. We had a number of members place in disctict, but only Jay White and John Goodman advanced to state, where John placed second in boys’ extemporaneous speaking. All in all, we feel that our year has proved that we have been a success. LEFT: Judy Speas practices for an upcoming forensics meet. White, Diane Allen, and Rose Hickman.

Happiness Is Giving, Giving Is The Key Club. The key to success of any organization is for that group to work together and to work for a purpose, the Key Club does this. The Key Club strives to bring a little brightness and happiness into the atmosphere at C.H.S. The Key Club consists of young people with lots of vitality, who are ready to go out on walk-a-thons and hikes to raise money for others who can benefit from it considerably. But at the same time the Key Club itself has lots of fun while doing things for others. For the past several years the Key Club has sponsored the Miss Christmas Seals contest, to raise money for Christmas Seals. For the year 1979-80, Miss Diana Kidd won the crown and title of Miss Christmas Seals.

BD FFA Gets The Students And The Ready For A New Decade The Future Farmers of America really had an active year during 1979-1980. They entered the annual tractor driving contest, with Cliff White winning first, public speaking contests, and degree team competition. They visited the State Fair and the local Five County Fair, hav- ing exhibits in each. Various members attend- ed the state FFA convention and the club sponsored young McDonalds farm and had a haunted house to raise money for various club activities. Not only do the FFA members prepare them- selves for tomorrow by practical experiences that make them qualified to enter the job market, they also have time to help prepare others. They sponsored the food for American program and the Bike Safety program at the Elementary School.

Miss Tillerson the director of Gymnas- tics helped to send one outstanding student to the National Olympic for the Blind, Annette Anderson, who won 3 silver metals. There are many students interested in Gymnastics, and there are hopes for Starting the club again next year. Gymnastics club is a young club, but it seems to be very interestingly popular.

The photography club is an organization that teaches the students how to take a picture, how to develope their own pictures, different lighting techniques, and we learn many other things that deal with taking a picture.

That is why we are here. Under the direction of Mr. Calvin Sorrell we try hard to discover our potential. We share our appreciation of music with others by having events such as the spring concert. Maybe we won't all be superstars nor even pursue a career in the field of music, but we can use music to make our education broader and our lives fuller. TOP.

The loss of last year’s seniors left a big gap in our performances. Other members have had to try to fill those gaps and it has meant that we have to work much harder. Even with this problem we have managed to perform at home football games, the Farmville and Cumberland Christmas parades, the Heart of Virginia Festival and a number of other places. It hasn’t been easy, but the CHS Marching Dukes are working on improvement. TOP RIGHT: ROW 1: D. Whitaker, W. Adames, B. Luckett, A. Lyles, C. Sorrell. Second Row: G. Coates, T. Mitchell, E.

Dixon and Judy Speas. We have also had two new majorettes. Antionette Brown and Charlene Welsh were added to last year’s majorette, Helen Johnson. These new people, along with our flag corps members, along with Toni Robertson, Cynthia Ross, Sarita Woodson, and Emma Lyle, has meant that there has been a lot of change. It has also meant that there has been a lot of hard work to get ready for all of the football games and the Farmville, Cumberland, and Buckingham parades we have performed. It wasn’t easy, but we think we did just fine. TOP RIGHT: Majorettes Charlene Welsh, Helen Johnson, and Antoinette Brown.

The play was entitled “When Girls Ask Boys for Dates” and it should appeal to advocates for women’s liberation. In the play, Judy Speas and Lavinia Simms, in a humorous role reversal, are taking Randy Patterson and Joe Robinson out on a date.

Mrs. Putney has been working in the field of education for the past 33 years, 29 of which have been here at CHS. She has taught everything from English and Latin to mathematics, science and history until she became our librarian 19 years ago. Sure, she’ll still tutor anyone who asks, and she’s always trying to teach us something new and different even though we're sometimes reluctant to learn. Although the yearbook was dedicated to you in 1956, we feel that you deserve this dedication again, Mrs. Putney. 54 - Getting a teaching ji o LAN NA a a3 56 Relics of the Past All of today’s prominent figures have a past — whether they were the sons and daughters of farmers or if they were the rich off spring of wealthy businessmen.

Principal, The Main Ingredients Everyone knows that a successful dish has its own main ingredients to make it work. This is also true with the make-up of an institution — it must have main ingredients to keep the institution in harmony. The administration, office personnel and the faculty are the ingredients in CHS that keep everything and everyone in harmony. Without them the whole structure would collapse. It is not an easy job, but the main ingredients at CHS strive to keep building their small empire. TOP LEFT: Mrs. Pauline Depew is caught conversing over the phone with a friend.

We tend to keep looking forward to coming days in hopes that we might get a glimpse of someone who really understands what is taught to him and enjoys it.

Day after day we go home and grade papers, prepare the next day’s lessons, make tests and end up pulling out our hair while trying to come up with new ideas for trying to keep the students interested in their classes. We don’t have that much time left after we prepare ourselves for school, but we keep on working and waiting for some time to relax.

Taking pictures, measuring caps and gowns, term papers, government class, prom, and graduation all combine with a number of other things that make for a lot of hard work and a very hectic year. However, we take it all in stride because it’s all part of being a Senior and when we are handed that diploma, we will know it was worth all the hard work.

With all the different activities most of us are involved with, graduation preparations, classwork, and numerous other future plans, it leaves very little time to do it all. We must find a new and easier way to do the things that must be completed. We must also work harder to try and do them the best that we can. Trying to do our best and achieving that goal is what will change us from students to graduates. LEFT: Kelvin Nash and Debra Dennis take a rest from playing ata football game.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Kathy Pleasants shows the smile that makes her one of the most popular Seniors at C.H.S. a Proving Ourselves Everyday people must prove themselves, whether it’s at their job, at home, or even to themselves and as Seniors we are no different. We must prove through Our attitudes and our actions that we are mature enough to be considered adults. We must prove through our classwork and our homework that we deserve to graduate. We believe we have done that in a number of ways. We have earned money all through the year for graduation and the class trip to Georgia. We have taken the responsibility of other Seniors activities such as dances and meetings. We have even taken the responsibility of having graduation out of the county for the first time and moving it to Jarmen Auditorium at Longwood College. It is a lot of responsibility and we feel that we have proved that we are responsible adults. 75 A New Challenge As our high school years come to a close, we, as young adults in a new and chaotic decade, must face a new challenge: life on our own. For some this will start by getting a job; others through continued education. The 1980’s have begun with much turmoil. The economy, rising unemployment, the rising cost of living — all are issues we will face. It is a big challenge for anyone and especially to us, but with a good education and a lot of fortitude we feel that we can face and meet the challenge.

A New Beginning Many people think of their graduation year as an ending, but we, the “CHS Seniors of 1980”, prefer to look on it as a beginning. We also look on this as a very important part of this phase of our life. The year has been filled with work, all geered toward receiving a diploma which is a very important edge when we must go out in the world. For many this year has provided jobs which will carry them into this new phase. For others it has brought about the choice of further education. It has been a year of change and a year of decision making for most of us. It has also been the end of one phase of our life and the beginning of another — adulthood. 79 Senior Superlatives The Most Outstanding Every year certain Seniors are judged by their fellow Seniors as being superlative in certain ways or activities. The new decade brings with it a whole new group of these outstanding people. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the rest of the Seniors of ay = 1980 aren’t outstanding, it just means that these Mr. and Mrs. Cumberland: people are outstanding in their particular category.

See Changing for the Future With every passing day, we keep preparing ourselves and changing the way we act and think for the Future. Our outlook on life and our future occupations are still changing from last year. Those of us that were once content with the thought of being farmers now look towards electronical fields while some of us have dreams of becoming rock stars or secretaries. We have changed along with our goals and will probably keep on changing as we mature, but for now we'll just sit back and enjoy the everyday life of being. Sophomores while we contemplete our future.

Cumberland Service, On U.S. At. GO. VUISiT COR UEAR' RouwD GARDEN CENTER 131 132 DL AAD T. Everyone has to have a little time to be themselves; to show people that they are individuals and to relax. The CHS students of 1980 are no different. Whether it’s through the things we wear — oxford shirts, Levi's, t- shirts, or tennis shoes — or even the things they do — it doesn’t matter as long as we have a little time to be ourselves. LEFT: Laverne Robinson does her thing at a basketball game. BELOW LEFT: Kevin Johnson is definitely amused at something. BELOW CENTER: An unidentified student takes a few minutes to be alone. BELOW RIGHT: Kathy Pleasants is smiling as usual. ABOVE LEFT: Beryl Anderson spends his free time during lunch eating ice cream. ABOVE: Cumberland fans doing what they do best — cheer!!! LEFT: Claudia Meinhard writes a letter before the bell rings for her next class. 133 Something New As each new school year comes to a close each of us has had something new happen to them. Many have made new friends, others have been to new places and experienced new things. However, the fact remains that as each school year comes to a close we have all learned something. Whether it’s about ourselves or whether it’s academically oriented makes no difference. It is all preparing us for another year, another day. RIGHT: Students have a few last minute words with their friends before boarding the buses. BELOW: The last few buses prepare to pick up the few remaining students. 134 LEFT: The smoking area is a very empty place after 3:15. BELOW: One of the buses makes its way through Cumberland, taking a number of students home. A New Decade Begins Each school year teaches a student something new. Something that will help to prepare him for the coming years. This year was special, for it was the beginning of a new decade. It is a decade which is beginning with a lot of turmoil and uncertainty, but we at CHS have learned a lot this past year. Not only about the events around us, but about ourselves. It is opening up to us to accept and prepare for the things that are happening as the new decade begins. RIGHT: A Cumberland bus heads home after another busy day. BELOW: The sun sets on another year at CHS. 136 @ ‘| bee ay ) FEM RAC h hy!
