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.
