Cumberland High School - Duke Yearbook (Cumberland, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1981 volume:

Big Events This has been a memorable year as far as the weather goes. Cold was not the big issue, but heat. For the first time in Cumberland High School’s history, the school was closing early for heat. The Health Department also had its problem. Pediculosis was an autumn concern and later an epidemic of measeles was feared. To cure the latter problem, all students who needed either measles or polio shots were required to take them and a Clinic was held at the Cumberland High School gym. Many students were afraid of shots and several fainted, to the dismay of accompanying teachers. shige tetirepierabon sane ror: 1.

The oldest building here is the white building now used for masonry and then comes the ‘‘old high school building,’’ completed in 1939. It was followed by the log cabin, original- ly lunch room and presently the home econom- ics cottage. From then until now, building wasn’t stopped. The primary units, the gym, the cafeteria, the science building, the vocational building and lastly, the science art band build- ing and the administration building, both fin- ished in 1977. Improvements are still being made. Turf man- agement classes and the FFA have beautified the grounds, the school sign was finished at the close of last year, the tennis courts were constructed two years ago, and the green- house was added in 1978. Still there are many complaints about the school facilities. The covered walk leaks; the heating system is erratic, with temperatures ranging from below freezing to extremely warm; the gym is too small and the cafeteria too crowded; and insufficient classrooms force teachers to travel all day. It was suggested by the visiting committee that lockers for students be provided, a new building trades unit be built, and additional space provided for working on yearbook and newspaper, however the school board has no plans at present for any further construction. However, some improvements were made, the driver's education car was the despair of students and instructors alike, but a newer one was purchased this year. The teachers’ lounge was renovated last year, so at least the floor has no visible holes. Another new improvement this year concerns buses and driveways. The driveway in front of the school and the exit drive by the band build- ing are now one way streets. In addition, the white lines in the drive were added to make lanes for buses and lines for passengers get- ting on buses. iT ; Ht 4 Theme 1.

Therefore a student who has spent 5 years taking 6 classes a year and graduates from Cumberland High School has spent 750 hours in English, 450 hours in physical education, 300 hours in sci- ence and 75 complete school DAYS simply changing classes. However, most students don’t attain these hours because attendence is not what it could be. Those students who do come to school have a variety of subjects to choose from as electives. Vocational subjects have the most offerings, in- cluding such specialties as turf man- agement and horticulture. School Life But, according to a recent yearbook poll, most students come to school, not for the curriculum, but because they have to or to see their friends; the school must exist then as a social in- stitution. It must also be a fashion institute, and this seems to be the year for fads. It would be hard to name the biggest fad, since there are so many. Alligator and Fox shirts are everywhere; cow- boy hats adorn cowboy (and cowgirl) heads; coats are not coats anymore — they’re quilted vests; baggies have replaced the tight jeans (sometimes); moccasins are back in; skirts, socks, and monogrammed sweaters have re- turned from the 1950’s; and bead necklaces are in every jewelry box. We're getting there Looking back over the years, our football team has had many ups and downs. One year the team would have a good season such as in 1978 when the record was 6-3-0 and the team almost made it to the district playoffs. Then the team, as in 1979 when the season record was 1-8-1, would have a year that wasn’t one proved to be an im- provement over last year as shown in their season record of 2-7-3. The good part is that the 1980 team contained some outstanding players. Robert Jackson made all district first team as place kicker, special team punt return and second team as running back and defen- sive back. Tracey Jackson also made first team all district at tackle. Due to the lack of players this year, many had to play both offense and defense but they showed they had enough ability to win two games and tie three others. bead Aim, Te 2.

This year, however, the Dukes lost the Homecoming game and in 1979 it was the only District game that the team won. Half-time festivities included a performance by the CHS band and the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, Miss Diane Branch. 2.

Wish Upon a Star “Success is counted sweetest”’ is a quote that some may think irrelevant for this year’s season. Yet the season had its positive points. According to past records, the JV team had a normal year. Many of the players con- ceived a love for the game and are going to play again next year. One Mark Asal lost his right leg to cancer when he was nine years old. In spite of this, he’s very active in sports as well as other activities. player, Mark Asal, was even select- ed as the subject of TV’s P.M. Mag- azine, thereby beginning his acting career. A new coach was provided for the JV team this year — Mr. Ace Kenny. Coach Kenny, who also teaches building trades, spent many hours on the field getting the team into shape. He too managed to make a TV appearance. 1. Coach Ace Kenny plans game strategy. 2. J.V. players march into the pep rally before the game with Prince Edward. J.V.

JV Football 11 Steadily Improving fam a This year, the 1980 Girls Varsity Basketball team had one of its best seasons, ending up third in the district with a 6-9-0 record. With the help of Irma Trent who made all district first team and Diane Trent who made all district second team, the team vastly improved from a 4-10-0 season to 6-9-0 season. ‘We played as a team most of the time and the girls worked hard all year,’’ Coach Bright said proudly. The team started off the season with winning as they de- feated Randolph Henry twice. Then came a turning point in which the Dukettes were the defeated team. The District Tournament was an exciting and an important game as the Dukettes played against Goochland. The defeat in the District game ended the 1980 season. Coach Bright said, ‘‘I’m looking forward to a successful season next year.”’ Varsity — Girls Randolph Henry Randolph Henry Bluestone Bluestone Nottoway Nottoway Fluvanna Prince Edward Goochland Central Amelia Prince Edward Fluvanna Goochland Central 6-9-0 1.

The team of 12 girls managed to go through a season of 6 games; they ended up 5 and 1., with a total points scored of 196, and an average of 32.6 points a game. The one game lost was against Fluvana, who they later beat at the end of the season. All of their games were played before the season was over since many of the schools did not have a team for the Dukettes to play against. In the first game of the season against Bluestone, the game was totally in Cum- berland’s favor by the end of the first half. At the end of the season, some of the girls moved up to play on the varsity squad. 1. Regina Allen runs for the ball. 2. Chanel Vaughan shoots the ball. 3.

The Dukes were named the James River District Champions again this year as they finished the season with a record of 15-2. With that spec- tacular record, the Dukes played in the regional games and they accomplished first place berth. Winning region- als, the Dukes gained the right to travel to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and once again try to win the Single A State Title. 5.

Dukes attempt to keep an opponent from scoring more points. Different from last year, the Dukes returned to Cumberland with trophies signifying that they had won the State Title and that they were good sportsmen. Though the starting line-up seemed responsible for the win, the whole team had a part in the winning of the third state championship in four years. Throughout the whole year the team played as a team and they cooperated with one another and with Coach Johnson. The Dukes showed that they had what it takes to be winners and they used it to be champs once again! Varsity Basketball 15 1. Varsity Cheerleaders: LEFT: Chanel Vaughan, Karen Lan- dis, Lisa Asal.

It survived that year’s season but mysteri- ously faded until 1960 when cheerleaders again surfaced under the direction of Elizabeth Gilliam. The current sponsor, Mrs. Barbara Meinhard, volunteered to accept the responsi- bility in 1965 and has guided and expanded the cheerleading squad and its ever-changing members since her arrival. Cumberland High’s cheerleaders have come a long way since their early years. They have not only grown in size and responsibility, but they have brightened their appearances as well. In recent years Cumberland’s cheerleaders have exchanged the traditional white sweaters and dark skirts, which were worn for so long, and adopted more colorful and modern uniforms. 16 Cheerleaders Poetry In Motion The CHS Cheerleaders are perhaps the hardest work- ing team in the Cumberland Athletic Department. They start practicing in the fall for football season and practice one and a half hours twice a week until spring, when bas- ketball season is over. At that point, they have to try out for the next year and sell lots of merchandise to pay for uni- forms and cheerleader camp. They go all summer to learn cheers and meet friends. It is really hard work and very time consuming, but the Cheerleaders all say that it is worthwhile. Their reward is given by the teams, who say that the cheerleaders are certainly appreciated. 4.

The 1981 Junior Varsity Basketball Team began their season very slowly but they finally showed progress after the season was well underway. This was due to the many new players who were gaining experience. For players such as Keith Brown, Scott Ste- vens, George Robinson, and Larry Kersey, this was the first year playing on the Duke team. Other players, such as veterans Travis Gilliam and Michael Brown, returned to the team. They guided and directed their team mates as captains. Also the coach, Mr. Gary Cosby, added a little spice and spunk to the team to make them successful. Since most of the players were in the sophomore class this year, they will be back next year to play on the varsity squad, which will be a great help to the new Varsity Duke team. 1.

In addition to winning more games, they played more games than they did in 1980. The team gained a lot of new players, such as Anita Mundy and Arlene Liggons. Their performance enabled the team to finish the season this year with a 5-7-0 record. 1. Irma Trent and Geraldine Royall wait for the bus to take them to the game. 2.

Softball 19 Hit and Run “Batter up”’ is a favorite slogan in Cumberland. There are many teams in the county — little league, pony league, area teams — other than the CHS team, so many of the players continue to play after leaving high school. Some past players, such as Cleveland Johnson, continue to play at college. The team is coached by Mr. Roberts (Buddy) Martin, who played baseball here as a student. Under his direction for the past 6 years, the team has done rather well. Many team players play o ther sports as well. Out of 12 players, 6 play basketball, and 9 play football. 1. Coach Martin gathers equipment and supplies for a game against Fluvanna. 2. Tracey Jackson waits for his team mates before boarding the bus to go to a game. 3.

The 1981 J V Baseball team was composed entirely of eighth and ninth graders, most of whom had never played before. Lack of experience and a busy playing schedule led to what one player called a disappointing season. Coach Mickey Lantz put in many hours of practice to try to get his team in shape, but met with quite a few set- backs. At the beginning of the playing season, tempera- tures dropped, making it hard if not impossible to play. Several games were rescheduled, making the games at the end of the season too close together. Even though this year’s final record was not as good as last year’s, Coach Lantz is still optimistic that all the players have benefited by their experiences this year. 1.

They are faster than anyone. They’re quicker than the blinking of an eye. In a flash one could miss them going by. No one knows quite how they do it, but it’s true; some say that they’re the masters of going faster. This many not be the most accurate description of Cumberland’s track team, but it is the way they said they would like to be described. This year the track team placed third in regional competition. Although this re- cord is not as impressive as the previous two years, team members said they were not discouraged. Already they are making plans to be “‘faster than light’ next year. 1.

Track 23 Fun and Games Even though not everyone can play basketball and football, students do participate in their favorite ‘“‘sports.’’ When the weather permits (and sometimes when it doesn’t), students play frisbee and touch foot- ball on the front lawn. Some students and teachers stay after school to use the tennis courts and many students are members of community baseball teams. Favorite activities are bowling, skating, partying, eating, chess playing, dart throwing, and horseback riding. 1. Chevelle Vaughan and Cheryl Langhorne try to cheer up the crowd at a baseball game. 2. Jay White throws a frisbee during lunch. 3. Ronnie Lamb daydreams during biology. 4.

Clubs now number 14, which is a decrease over the last several Student Majority Rules Since the school’s beginning the SCA has been working for the benefit of both school and students, doing such things as donating funds to the David Goodman Scholarship Fund, the school sign fund, and the Cumberland Rescue Squad. They have given an award to the best atheletic scholar in the Senior Class. One of their biggest successes was the Free Fare Concert given several years ago. They are hoping to have something comparable in the future. In recent years they have sold carnations to give to sweethearts or secret loves on Valentines Day. As always the SCA sponsors the Homecoming Dance, but this year they had a new twist — two DJ’s were brought in instead of a live band. The SCA sent members to both the State Conference and to a summer workshop. Many students (according to a recent poll) feel that the SCA has done more for the school than any other organization at CHS. 4 he eile ls 1.

No, the members of the National Honor Society aren’t teachers’ pets, but they do make the grades that teachers enjoy writing down in grade books and on report cards. During the meetings, they don’t just sit around discuss- ing grade averages, but instead plan fund raising projects for the David Goodman Scholarship Fund, plan worthwhile Christmas activities, and map out activities to encourage scholarship. 1.

Who’s Who is an organization which honors high school juniors and seniors who have demonstrated leadership or achieve- ment in either academics, athletics, extra-curricular ac- tivities, or community service. An average of less than 5% of the juniors and seniors nationally are featured in Who’s Who each year. So, to be a Who, all you have to do is be smart, athletic, active, serving, or all of the above. 5. Dressed up for NHS Focus Week, Sonia Streat gets ready to teach U.S. History. 6.

On Friday mornings, everyone runs to get a sweet, savory Krispy Kreme donut for their ‘‘midday snack.” With the money made from selling donuts, the FBLA purchased various items for the business department. In 1979, they raised over $1,000.00 to buy a photocopy machine which is extensively used by the business stu- dents. In the fall of 1980, the club’s officers and some of its members, along with other counties, attended a workshop at Longwood College which helped each of them serve their club more fully and extend their leadership to their fellow members. 1.

In 1976 DECA became a club at CHS. Dealing with on-the-job training for the unskilled (and skilled) student. They compete with other area schools to see who has the best students in marketing, distribution, a nd other categories. Advanced students are placed in the job-situation and learn to do many jobs and work at many of the area businesses, such as Winn-Dixie and McDonalds. So far three different teachers have sponsored DECA — Mrs. Connie Pepper, who started the club here: Mr. John Galyean, who left last year; and Mrs. Barbara Atkins, this year’s sponsor. 1.

DECA 29 Headed for Broadway This year was quite a bit more successful for the Drama Club, even though they did not enter the One Act Play competition. Mem- bers did sponsor a Christmas play entitled The Christmas Caper and a spring produc- tion of Grease. The seniors in the Drama Club also worked on the Senior Class play The Importance of Being Earnest, in which they were assisted by other members who volunteered to help, such as Rosemary Men- dez who did make — up. Members also went to see quite a few plays such as Something’s Afoot and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. 1. Jay White knows the penalty for not re- membering his lines. 2.

Speaking of Anything Speaking, reading, thinking, arguing, and spelling well are requirements for entering forensics. This year several students from Cumberland tried to do some of those things in competition, with some success. Alaric Gust had the most distinguishing record, getting all the way to State Competition in extemporaneous speaking. Students from Cumberland also entered in the areas of spelling, serious prose, humorous prose, serious poetry, humorous poetry, monologues, oratory, and extemporane- ous speaking. In addition to entering District and State competition, CHS forensic team entered the Longwood Invitational. However, this year the results were not quite up to par with previous years. Forensics students are usually members of the CHS public speaking class.

The Drill Team was started by Darcy Williams around seven years ago. lt was created for those persons who weren't involved in other extra — curricular activities but desired to contribute to Cumberland High School in some way. From this beginning it has come along way. Now the Drill Team performs at all home basketball games during half- time. The team marches in parades including the Cumberland Christmas Parade and the Farmville Christmas Parade. Members enter competition in drillteam events, such as the one sponsored by the managers of Kings Dominion. 1. Mrs. Scales is making plans for a drill team practice. 2. Carmella Crews and Sonya Nash carry the Drill Team banner in the Cumberland Parade. 3.

And a Touch of Spice Think of cookies, cakes, and pies, and what club do you think of? The Future Homemakers of America, that’s who. But the FHA does more than just cook and sew. They sell peanut butter, syrup, and calendars; take trips to the nurser- ies, plan Christmas socials, and have guest speakers during club meetings. The club was founded in the 1940’s and is currently sponsored by Mrs. Barbara Meinhard. For an old club, it still seems to be doing well, as is evidenced by its large membership. 1.

FHA 33 Club on the Move During the 1980-81 school year, the 4-H Club accom- plished many things. The club won awards in poultry and consumer judging clubs. Members sold fruit for Christ- mas to raise money. Several members entered the ‘“‘Share-the-Fun”’ contests, with Rita Taliaferro and Rita Scales going all the way to the State finals. A field trip was taken to Kings Dominion. So it is obvious that the Cumberland 4-H Club is definitely on the move. What helps the club to be so active? For one thing, students can join the 4-H Club as early as fourth grade. Therefore they have many years to work and perfect their skills. The club also has much support from the extention agents and the community, which helps en- courage students and parents to participate. 1. Antoinette Brown, Caryn Lewis, Janet Honebein, Alfred Honebein, Will Dirdson, Raymond Morris, and Timothy Reed won awards, which were presented at the annual 1981 4-H awards ceremony. 2. Janish Nash and Rita Taliaferro were both winners in this year’s 4-H ‘‘Share- the-Fun’’ Contest. Rita Scales, not pictured, was also a winner. 3. Kenyatta C.

Stephenson Harris in 1971. Since that year the organization has grown to become an important club around school. By sponsoring a Hob dinner and hike, ‘‘A Nigh To Remember,”’ a spring dance, scholarships to graduating seniors, and saluting deserving students and teachers. The Kee Club does a lot of things to put a spark of life in the students and to brighten up everyone’s day. The Miss Christmas Seal contest has become an activity that the young ladies around school look forward to. All of these things that the Kee Club sponsors not only eneble the members to raise money to take various trips but provides the Kee Club with money for donations to the Rescue Squad, Christmas Seals and for sending cards and flowers to sick teachers and students. 1.

Kee Club 35 A Picture Paints A Thousand Words In 1972, Cumberland High School’s art teacher, Ms. Stom- bock, founded a new club and required that each member either be enrolled in an art course or have previously com- pleted at least one year of art instruction. Through its years of existence the art club has been in- volved in a variety of school projects including its several- year sponsorship of a Christmas door-decorating contest, and its participation and help in setting up the annual Wom- en's Club art show. This show features the work of many of CHS’s art students and club members. In the past the art club has taken field trips to the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Virginia Museum in Rich- mond, where the members were given an opportunity to view art objects from past civilizations and also a chance to see many of the famous painting which they had studied in the CHS art courses. During most art club meetings, the members learn how to do a variety of creative projects. The students this year made artificial flowers from a substance called ‘‘flo-film,’’ learned how to create ‘‘sand art’ projects, made corsages under the instruction of Gail Thompson from the Cumberland extension office, and viewed filmstrips which discussed the many steps necessary to pursue a Career in the field of art. 1.

The main reasons for its breakup include a lack of participation and support from its members and no money for equipment. Therefore, Mr. David Meinhard, sponser of the club, called for the disbaning of the club after two short meetings. The club took pictures for the yearbook and the newspaper here and ran into problems with that also. 1. Byron Fisher checks out the camera before attempting to take some pictures. 2.

The chapter was organized two years ago under the sponsorship of Mr. Ralph Ma- han and Mr. Dean Farmer, to promote use of vocational skills and to encourage students to seek out career opportunities in vocational and industrial areas. VICA has since become one of the largest clubs of CHS. Major projects this year included helping organize the Christmas Parade and building a float. Jerry Langhorne and Lonnie Foster are just about to complete a T I, VICA 39 drawer for their cabinet. A Song in My Heart “I'd like to teach the world to sing’’ is the motto of chorus director, Mr. Calvin Sorrell. He spends many hours with the junior and senior chorus mem- bers, teaching them how to sing. They display their talents every year with a choral concert, which was held in the spring. Several students this year entered voice contests and won or received honorable mention. Rita Talia- ferro won first place in the Virginia State Vocal Ensemble Competition. 1.

But some students are doing a lot. Cumberland has some students who are volunteering to do extra work, including serving on volunteer rescue squads, working in the office, serving as teacher aides, working in the cafeteria, and becoming gym assistants. 6.

They marched in two parades in the area, sold candy bars and cheese to raise money for new uniforms next year, and participated in a concert with several neighboring counties. They also held their annual spri ng concert at Cumberland Elementary School. They entered competition with other bands in the area. Along with all this the band still found time to play at most of the home football games and even some of the away games. 1.

The drama club managed to produce two plays on its own, take part in one other, and see several. The major production of the year was from the 50’s, Grease. The play lasted two nights and was considered a success by the cast and rather controversial by some of the parents. The Christmas play was The Christmas Caper. It revolved around an elf named Gretzel (Connie Speas) who kidnapped Santa (Tim Smith). This attempt was foiled by Santa’s elves (Jennifer Pleasants, Lisa Asal, Sherry Snead, Betty Blanton, Karen Landis, and Gail Atkinson), the Dew Fairy (Janice Nash), the Dew Dro- plet (Teresa Shores), Mrs. Claus (Laura Baber), and the reindeer (Del Johnson, Dan Rightnour, and Tammy Combs). This play was presented as a special school assembly before Christmas vacation. 1. Mike Edwards, Doug Canaan, Weldon Jones, and Jay White (the Greasers) hang out. 2.

The first one appeared at the same time that the old high school building was completed, al- though in those days both elementary and high school students attended. The book was not called The Duke, but School Daze and Knights. Since then the yearbook has had its ups and downs and has even been discontinued several times, only to be revived later. In the last decade, the yearbook has managed fairly well. The 1971 issue was a thin pa- perback book which featured only seniors and was called, simply, Seniors 1971. Then The Duke ap- peared and somehow Survived. Yet the book has its problems. Since each book costs over $30 and is sold for $13, the rest must be made by working yearbook staff members. Another problem is with photography. The school owns two cameras, neither of which works. Sponsors don’t grow on trees, either, since the job requires lots of time, much patience, some knowledge, and a willing- ness to donate summer time, but provides no finan- cial rewards at all. 1.

Sonia Street types the only copy sheet the staff could find as Jay White frantically searches for pages 2 and 3. Ups and downs and many pitfalls can be the motto of the Science Club. The club was originally started under the direction of Mrs. Mary Booker Marshall four years ago. Due to lack of interest and student apathy, the club dis- banned. Mr. Charles Schaeff, who came to CHS last year, decided he would try to revitalize the club and so it started again last year, with moderate interest. 1980-81 was supposed to be the big year, with a sci- ence fair, field trips, and other scientific activities. Again, due to apathy and misfortunes, the club did not carry through with its major plans. ‘“Eurica!l’’ “E=MC 2” “‘An Object in Motion ... ”’ Any student at CHS in grades 7-12 who has an interest in science can join. Most members are students enrolled in science classes. At the meetings, Mr. Shaeff, the sponsor, gives a certain topic and then members will discuss and give opions. President Eddie Martens, who has been a member sev- eral years, has been an enthusiastic president, and when asked about next year, replied that he had many new ideas for projects. These plans include fund raising pro- jects to finance field trips and guest speakers for some of the meetings. He also plans to try to increase member- ship. ae 1.

They named it The Cumberland High Times and changed the format to the tabloid style, with publication approximate- ly every month. The staff worked with photography, writing, artwork, cartoons, layout, and money-mak- ing. On the national scene, top news stories of the 1980’s included new eruptions of Mount St. Helnes, elec- tion of President Ronald Reagan, re- lease of the Iranian hostages after The Cumberlan ONE High es 444 days of captivity, shooting of “J.R.”’ of the hit television show, Dallas, and death of rock star, John Lennon. The big stories of the year ranged from a homeroom seceeding from the SCA to ‘‘Who Shot Polack Hen- seley?’’ (the cartoon defender of students’ rights). Big attractions to the paper include ‘‘favorite’’ pools and ‘“‘man on the street’’ questions. Regular feature columns were “Flashbacks” (alumi news) and teacher-student speak out and spotlights. 1. Editor of newspaper, Laura Baber, proof- reads an article to go in the paper. 3.

But this year’s prom had its share of tribulations. Many juniors would not pay class dues, all fund raising projects were disasters, and the date of the prom was changed twice. Finally enough money was raised to have a prom but even so few couples chose to attend. There was a major difference, however, in this prom and previous proms, and that was the dress code. Gentlemen were allowed to wear suits instead of the traditional tuxedo. The gym was decorated by juniors to comply with its theme — — tropical dreams. Faron Brown and Barbara Trent had their big moment as they were crowned prom King and Queen. ‘‘Kash”’ provided the music as juniors and seniors and their dates danced until midnight. 1.

The answer of course, is Mrs. Barbara Meinhard. Most of the above works she does without pay — she has even had to pay admissions to a game for her children and herself to chaperone the cheerleaders. Then she still must do more. She took one the responsibility of a group of junior cheerleaders composed of children of faculty members. For all her hard work, the 1981 Duke is dedicated to her. 1.

Miss Samuels enjoys jazz music and says, ‘‘Men are nice, too.”’ Mrs. Herold is interested in modern dance and Mr. Sorrell likes to cook. Miss Tillerson works at Hop — In and Miss Stombock likes camping in the rugged outdoors. Mrs. Wolcott can boogie on the dance floor and Mrs. Smith digs archeology (did she uncover yesterday’s lunch?). Locking in freshness by selling Tupperware keeps Mrs. Meinhard busy as do raising calves and square dancing for Mrs. Carden. Mrs. Amos works at a quarry and Mr. Davis restores antiques (do you think he could work on the auditorium?).

This year, teachers have been attending school board meetings, calling members of the board of supervisors, asking for support of the people in the community, and contacting the local media. To supplement incomes many teachers have a second (or third) job, such as tax consultant, bartender, bulldozer operator, and gas station attendant. Even with all of these occupations, many teachers still find time to give to sponsor clubs such as SCA and activities such as cheerleading and forensics all without pay. 1.

This was the first year of teaching in the county for Mrs. Patricia Cox, Mr. Ace Kinney, Mrs. Barbara Atkins, Mrs. Beth Ebbers, Miss Susan Turner, Mr. Steve Wisecarver, and Mr. Lester Langhorne. Mrs. Mary Booker remarried and became Mrs. Mary Marshall. Mrs. Brenda Lewis became a mother, and coach Mickey Lantz became a father for the third time. Mr. Charles Shaeff was elected president of the CEA. Miss Marsha Long returned this year as Mrs. Marsha Davis. Mrs. Cordella Brooks retired as office secretary and her position was filled by a recent Cumberland High School graduate, Miss June Hubbard. Charles Shaeff enjoys playing the role of a wizard at the Haunted House.

Many hours and dollars were spent on the ordering of class rings and gradu- ation announcements, the fitting of caps and gowns, and the posing of formal senior portraits. The seniors were also busy trying to complete the classes neces- sary to graduate. Meeting term paper deadlines and completing English and government assignments proved to be quite difficult for almost all of the seniors — and too difficult for many, who chose to drop out instead. In fact, according to a yearbook poll, an over- whelming number of seniors reported government and English to be their least favorite subjects. But being a Senior was not all ‘‘work’’ — many sen- iors took advantage of their option to leave school ear- ly. Approximately a third of the senior class finished classes and left school before fifth period. Some seniors participated in various fund raising events to help defer the cost of a senior class trip. Money-making activities included a cake raffle, anda Thanksgiving turkey raffle. A senior play was also held to raise money for the trip.

What did they like best about school? Some of the answers were lunch, snowdays, getting high, Mr. Foster, activity periods, and nothing. On the other hand, some of them answered that the things that they liked least were homework, the curriculum, gym, the rules, and the early hours of school. Travis Gilliam stated plainly, ‘‘We blew it!’’ when asked about his sophomore class.

Now is the time for all good students to come to some kind of decision. Choices must be made in the sophomore year that will affect a student’s entire future. If a student is going to college, he must consider taking geometry or biology. Or a student should consider taking Clerk-Typing or DECA. Grades must be monitored, college requirements investigated, job skills obtained, and the competency test taken for the first time. 1. Kenneth Whiting strolls aimlessly to his last class of the day.

They win the spirit competition more often than any- one else and they like more things served in the cafeteria than anyone else. Most of the teachers at CHS agree that this sophomore class is more energetic than any other and that they really seem to be unified. 1. Michael Marion eagerly walks to his next class. 2.

They await the opportunity to be nominiated for Who’s Who or the Nation Honor Society. They can’t run for SCA president or take driver’s ed or advanced math classes. Yet, they make up a large part of the Pep Squad, the Kee Club, and the FFA, and support school events such as dances and fair days. What they can do, they do. 1.

Their favorite school oriented events were: The Vocational Fair Day, pep rallies, homecom- ing, and the dances, according to the yearbook poll. They replied that they like nothing, gym, the girls and basketball best at C.H.S. Their favorite sport was defi- nitely basketball. They voted the most active clubs to be: Art Club, SCA, sex education, the cheerleaders, and the pep squad. 1. Rhonda Lamb’s expression tells it all.

This means that they no longer have to sit on the end of the bleachers (or get pushed off) during pep rallies. It means being able to get a smoking permit, having a bigger choice of elec- tives, and knowing the ropes. It also means that there is time to make decisions and another year before taking the competency test for the first time. There is still time before making career choices. 1.

This year they have lived through a new librarian, the production of Grease, another regional victory by the varsity basket- ball team, a new event called ‘‘Career Day,’ and the new reading rotation program which they are allowed to participate in. When asked what he thought of his fresh- men year, one serious-looking student replied, ‘‘Oh, it’s all right.”’ 1.

In the same poll their favorite subjects were science, English, and gym. Three male teachers tied for being favorites of the 8th grade class.Coach Martin, Mr. Law- son, and Mr. Sorrell.

They have become the illustrious eighth graders; they are no longer picked on by all other students. They have fin- ished their second year here and are on the rise to be- come graduating seniors. The time slowly passes but it does pass and along with eash days passing come memo- ries of their times spent at C. H. S. Wendy Brown ties her blouse before going to her next class.

But being an eighth grader also means that one is no longer so isolated. Students associate more with upper classmen, join more clubs, and can begin accumulating credits for that long climb up the academic ladder. Yet they are still coaxed and helped by guid- ance. A special program was instituted this year primarily with eighth graders in mind: namely the reading rotation program. This program was de- signed to aid those students needing remedial work in reading and English skills and to enable them to progress to grade level. 1. Deborah Brown enjoys a lollipop. 2.

Although seventh graders have more privileges, they also have many more responsibilities. Being late to class three times in a six weeks period resulted in detention. Exams and seemingly tremen- dous amounts of homework had to be overcome, and chang- ing classes six times a day was considered confusing. But according to several seventh graders, it wasn’t so bad after the initial shock of having to go to high school wore off in a matter of weeks.

Marcy Copeland tries to show off before the UPPER classmen ito : Seventh Graders 115 Going Through the Changes The seventh graders went through a big transition when they arrived at CHS this last fall. Prior to this year they had been the oldest class, but upon moving from the elementary school to the high school, they suddenly found themselves to be “‘low men’”’. They were often treated as ‘‘second-class citizens’ by the upperclassmen, and were denied many of the priviledges and much of the respect that the older students received. Despite their seemingly unfair treatment, there were a few “‘priviledges’’ in which the seventh graders were allowed to take part this year. According to a poll taken however, it seems that many of the students were not particularly pleased with their inclusion in some of Cumberland High School’s traditions, especially — exams. For the first time since attending school they felt the pain of taking exams, with which the upperclass- men have become familiar. 1.

Although they just arrived at the high school last fall, the seventh graders have done an excel- lent job of fitting into the life of Cumberland High. If their readjustment to new surrounding means any- thing the chameleons will undoubtedly do well at Cumberiand High School. 1.

After the adjustments to becoming members of high school, the seventh graders found that there were many new things with which they could occupy their time. They were allowed to join clubs for the first time, and were given a chance to meet and make new friends in some of their elective classes. They were also al- lowed more freedom than they had been given in elementary school. They were no longer so highly supervised and were allowed to play games such as football in front o f the high school during lunch and in the mornings.

Some come to be with friends, some to play sports, others to get an education (so they said), and others because they have to. Students all have several things in common — doing homework, getting to school, and attending class. The favorite class at Cumberland High School is English and science and the least favorite is history. Yet not all time is spent in studying. Students have clubs to attend, free time before school to socialize, pep rallies to cheer at, and gossip to exchange between classes. After-hours are fun, too, and students go to movies and dances with friends, skate in Farmville and Richmond, dance at Bright Hope and Sunnyside, and party at the Red Lion. There are some complaints about school, however, such as cold classrooms, eating in the cafeteria, certain teachers, and reading poetry. Many students also complain about not having enough electives and having no vocational technical center, as other area counties have. But even with the faults, some students seem to care for old Cumberland High School and recent bathroom graffitti. ““CHS is number 1 and you better believe it!”’ 1. Chanel Vaughan needs a moment of quiet after a game. 2. Keith Meinhard bravely takes his polio vaccine. 3. Anthony Savorini wishes he didn’t go to Cumberland High School. 4. Chris Warriner in one of his lovelier moments as an FFA member. 5. Angela Carter demonstrates one of the skills she learned while attending Cumberland High School. 6. Howard Dunivan sings for his supper while in heat. 7. Dan Rightnour seems dazed after an English 12 test. 8. Cumberland High School is quiet before the return of the natives. 9. You bet your life Doug Rhoden is off the wall. 10. Digging potatoes isn’t as bad as it seems for Candice King. 11. Herff Jones doesn’t feel too well after eating a hoggie patty. 12. It’s another stimulating day as a senior for Cheryl Langhorne. 13. Lisa Shrewsbury and Andy Burton... 14. The good, the bad, and the ugly (no particular order) aliasses: Faron Brown, Robert Jackson, and Jay White better known as the ‘Three Stooges.”’ 135 Just the Beginning School life involves many aspects. A student can learn to speak a foreign language, plant a flower, sew a dress, play a musical instrument, do a cartwheel, bake a cake, prune a tree, dissect a frog, work an algebra equation, weld metal, build a tool chest, and do a layout. A student can also join a club, play a sport, act in a play, sit in homeroom, eat 2,300 lunches in the cafeteria, march in the band, work in the office, cafeteria, library, gym, or for a teacher, and ride the bus. And when the year or years are over, what happens? A student can get a job, go to school, stay home, join the army, play pro ball, get married... 1. David Townsend guards his spot against the wall from anybody who will walk by. 2. Paula Lockner gazes into the camera as she sits wondering how the day will end. 3. Debbie Wilson wishes she were a senior as she sits in class. 4. John Rose and Claude Johnson are cafeteria helpers. 5.
