ena Teachers’ Pet? 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. Members of NHS: ROW 1: Tim Smith, Selena Carter, Chevelle Vaughan. ROW 2: Tere- sa Shores, Tammy Combs, Laura Baber, Connie Speas. 7. Laura Baber works on Senior Statistics.

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.

Rolling in Dough The Future Business Leaders of America are known throughout Cumber- land High School for selling donuts. 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. FBLA members prepare to take a trip to the Richmond newspapers. 2. Angelia Shelton and Sonia Streat wonder if they want to return to Cumberland High School after the touring Richmond newspa- pers. 3.
