Stepping Up... 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.

We Do It Again — It is once again that the Duke fans were shown a lot of action. 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.

STRIVING pm FOR THE BEST — ¢ This year’s girl’s basketball was divided into two squads — JV and Varsity. 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
