The busiest parts of the day are from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. 11:45 to 1:10 and 3:00 p.m. At 9:00 students are lined up in the office to get that important slip of paper — the admission slip. Or that more important one — the early dismissal. Students must line up to board the bus to ISS, the new In School Suspension program, in which students who are quilty of breaking certain school rules are transported to the elementary school for a day of silence and hard work. They line up in front of the school to buy paper with nothing on it so they can hurriedly jot down the home- 4 Theme work due first period. Lunch is an exciting time. Students read the menus ahead of time to decide whether to eat lunch or bring it from home. They rush to get one of Mr. Beverly’s bathroom passes. Others try to eat quickly enough to get to the library to check out a book or read the news- paper. Some want to get out their smoking permit and go to the smoking area. Afternoons are spent writing on the bath- room walls, waiting to get a Sunkist from the drink machine and looking for a literature book to take home. Bus numbers roll by along with track stars in numbered shirts and gov- ernment test grades blowing across the lawn. 1. Margaret Stombock, art teacher, critiques the new paintings. 2.

Without these members the team again had to rebuild. Players had to be brought in off the bench to replace some of those missing and others had to play both offense and defense.

Their first try at playing football was an exhilirating experience that they will treasure the rest of their lives. The chance to play on a team gives the Junior Varsity Football players an insight on teamwork, accepting responsi- bility and respecting a superior authority. Hand in hand with this learning encounter is the chance to have a good time with the rest of the boys. The season was full of surprises including the arrival of new coaches and many eager stu- dents just waiting for a chance to get a crack on the field. The team was not as large as some of the past teams have been but they worked hard at practice and on the field. Coached by Gary Ferris and John Walden the team had a relatively successfully good year. This is the second year in a row that the team has had to get used to a new coaching staff. It took a while for them to get used to each others’ moods, signals, etc. but in time all the kinks were worked out. We look forward to seeing the older players back next year on the Varsity squad and the others back on J.V. 7. Coach Ferris gives a team member a last minute wrap- up before the game. 8.

Homecoming 11 The Joy of a Successful Year This year’s Varsity Girls’ Basketball team was on one. The girls started the season with a loss but bounced back to win the next two games. They practiced many hours to give their best performance on the court. Head coach Mary Bright also worked hard with the team. Together their ef- forts ended in a 14-6 record for the Varsi- ty team. They had a few problems with the defense but offensively they were great. They had enough spirit and team pride to keep them going. They mentally as well as physically psyched up. As a result of their efforts, the team made it to the district tournament. Throughout the season there were sev- eral players who performed well. Among those were Diane Trent and Irma Trent who were the season’s high scorers. They were also the leading rebounders for the team. This year’s team had the best re- cord out of many of the girls’ teams that Cumberland had. They ended the season third in the district. 1. At the foul line, Irma Trent shoots the ball. 2. Barbara Liggons shows the best defensive position. 3. Diane Trent looks for the best shot to add points to the score in the game against Fluvanna. 12 Girls’ Varsity Basketball Duketts 33 43 34 49 47 Fluvanna Prince Edward Dinwiddie Goochland Central Amelia Prince Edward Fluvanna Amelia Goochland Central Opponent 74 32 1.

Girls’ Varsity Basketball 13 Experienced The Junior Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team had ‘a good year.’ They practiced hard and through the direction of Miss Kempy Tillerson they had a relatively successful sea- son. They won four out of seven of their games. Many schools did not have a junior varsity squad this year — only a varsity team; there- fore they did not have as many teams to play as usual. Often they accompanied the Varsity players, trying to benefit from watching the older players play. They used the knowledge they gained through these trips to help them in their efforts on the floor. Some of the girls will be back next year on the Varsity squad and this year’s experience will prove to be helpful. q Dui 4 1D 12 1.

Girls’ Basketball Baby Dukes The JV Dukes put their best feet forward in the 1981-82 season. They gained a lot in experience as well as having fun. The team had a champion- ship season and could’ve well went further. With players like Edward Blanton and Michael Brown, the JV Dukes had a season record of 18- 1-o. This shows that they are deserving of the name, “Baby Dukes.” a. el 1. Edward Blanton takes a shot to save the game. 2. Wilford Baker has to force his shot among several determined opponents. 3.

Running up and down the court, strings swishing, dribbling balls all are familiar hap- penings during the most popular sport in Cumberland — basketball 1981-82 Varsity Basketball team entered the game with a team of 10 players. Fans were given a treat this year as the team was under direction of a new head coach — Will Robinson. Although the team had many ups and downs in the beginning, the Dukes were able to gain recognition as District Champions. 1. Rodney Childress has the ball and prepares to shoot two. 2. Rodney Cooke demonstrates good defense. 3. Coach Robin- son smiles after being the coach of the number one team in the district. 4. Neal Scruggs is high in the air to add points to the Dukes’ score. 16 Varsity Basketball Several key players such as Jarvis Jackson, Neal Scruggs, and Rodney Childress carried the Duke name further as they made All- District teams. Senior, Jarvis Jackson gained recognition as the top scorer for the Dukes as he passed Dwayne Dennis who previously set a record at 999 points. Although the Dukes were defeated at Regionals, it can be shown that the Dukes had somewhat of a good season.

Varsity Basketball 17 Gimme Spirit doesn’t come easily to everyone and the 1982 Varsity Cheerleaders are here to help out. This year they prac- ticed hard at least two days a week and went to the games to encourage team and spectator spirit. They planned pep rallies for the football games and basketball games. They marched in the Cumberland Christmas parade and helped with school wide fund rais- ers. They helped in the election of a Mr. Football for 1982 and made post- ers for the games. Then they still had time to coach a junior cheerleading squad, with cheerleaders ranging in age from 5-8 years old. 18 Varsity Cheerleaders A Cé C 99 But spirit may not have always been easy. In spite of all the work during practice, they had to have many fund- raisers to pay for uniforms and other necessary items. Even with all their hard work, not all bills could be paid. Sponsor Barbara Meinhard and pro- spective cheerleaders for next year even plan to work in the summer. 1.

Cheerleaders 19 What a Game The Varsity Baseball team had a good year. Despite the number of first year players, the team worked well together. They practiced many long hours to win games and the team suffered most in the area of pitching. Later in the year the schedule also played havoc on the team. Several games were rained out or moved to another date due to Prom or other events. Sometimes the team would have in addition to school work tired them out. No one can play his best game when he’s tired. The team got off to a good start, with Alaric Gust even getting 3 homeruns in a game. Near the end of the season the team fell back, however, and lost its chance for the playoffs. 1. Raymond Mottley prepares to go out on the field and play a good ballgame. 2.

The season was really a rough one, as Coach Will Robinson will agree. The team played in weather so cold that the CHS pitcher could hardly hold the ball. They played in wind storms blowing so much sand that the batters could hardly see. And by the end of the season they played in weather that was incredibly hot. Still they finished with a winning season. 3. Mike Bernard carefully watches the batter. 4. Coach Robinson makes ready for the pitch while Mike Bernard lies in wait. 5. 1981 JV Baseball Team. Baseball 21 Get a Hold — And Hold on! — And Hold On A new team was established this year by Coach Gary Ferris — the CHS wrestling team. Although new to Cumberland this year. Coach Ferris is actively involved in many sports. He helps with JV football, participates in projects of the athletic department such as the spring carnival. He still found time to organize a new sport — wrestling. He was on the wrestling team at Longwood, where he attended college and wished to continue with the sport, on the coaching live. For a new sport, quite a few members turned up. The team is open to all grade levels, from 8th to 12th. During training, members had to run, to exercise, to try new holds, and watch demonstrations. Al- though the team did not attend many meets — not many schools in this district have a wrestling team — the members have great plans for next year. The school now has a new weight room where team members can practice and next year there will be some returning experienced members. 1. Jay White, a member of the wrestling team prepares for a trip to Longwood. 2. The 1982 CHS wrestling team: ROW 1: Weldom Jones, Henry Pryor, Mike Bernard, Rodney Davenport, Jay White.

This year’s track teams showed strongly in short distance and sprinting events. The new track coach, Mr. John Walden is trying to form a responsible well-rounded track for the next years to come. As far as ladies’ track, they are trying to rebound from their off years after winning the state and district three years ago. 1.

Track 23 Peanuts and Crackerjacks Nothing is more American than a good game of softball, unless of course its good American food. The 1982 Cumberland girls’ softball team certainly had a good time themselves, or so they said. Coached by Mr. Richard Goode, the team got to leave school early quite a number of days to go to away games. But this, recorded players, also had its drawbacks, including making up work and practic- ing hard for these games. This year the team will lose a player who has long been with the softball team, and that is senior Irma Trent. Irma has been playing for the last years, but will graduate this year. Another valuable player leav- ing will be asst. coach Rita Taliaferro. Although not playing in sports this year as she could wish on account of injuries, the coaches all agree that she too will be missed. WETTER | 1. Asst.

There are many clubs at Cumberland High. They reflect the varied interests of the students. Each year the clubs have many events. There are fund- raisers, dances, programs and many other such events. The clubs generally keep the same sponsors but membership varies from year to year. 4 Honorable Mention The National Honor Society is an organiza- tion for those students with an average of a B or above. In addition to this requirement the student must participate in extra-curricular activities in both school and community. Teachers are given check list for all students that accept the invitation to join. The students are rated by these teachers and the sheets are then returned to the sponsor. Each year more students are invited to join. 1. Jay White, president, and Kevin Johnson, president-elect, get everything ready for 1982 elections. 2. Sponsor, Mrs. Juanita Simonini heads for the meeting. 3. Lisa Asal and Betty Blanton really study! 4.

A who is usually someone that has excelled academically, athletically or otherwise. Only a few students are chosen to be Who’s. After you are nominated to be a who you are sent a biography sheet to fill out and asked if you wish your picture published with your biography. Upon sending this sheet in you are sent an application for a scholarship. The books are generally published in December of the year that you are selected. 5. Members of Who’s Who: Row 1: Jay White, Byron Fisher, LaVonne McLendon, Joette Parker, Row 2: Freda Branch, Janet Lawrence, Caryn Lewis. 6. Fish hears a Who. The Student Council Association is an organization designed to help the students get what they need. Each year new officers are elected from selected nomi- nees. A special day is set aside for candidates speeches. The voting takes place the next day and winners are notified. They are always in charge of the Homecoming Dance. This is for fund-raising purposes. The S.C.A. holds many other fund-raising projects throughout the year. The pro- ceeds from these go towards the various donations given by the S.C.A. during the year. 7. Alaric Gust practices playing dictionary for the meeting. 8. Spon- sor, Mrs. Mary Allen, participates in faculty student volleyball game. 9.

More Business than Pleasure Everyone knows that doughnuts are the trademark of the FBLA, but what they don’t know is that they do a lot more than just sell doughnuts. They cover all the fundamentals of the business world; that is, anything from shorthand and typing to bookkeeping and accounting. This year they had some practical experience in the world of work and got jobs for a two-week period in the Cumberland area, one student working in the County Clerk’s office and one in the superintendant’s office. Sponsors were indeed trying to prepare the future business leaders of America. 1. Dawn Ownby and Rosemary Mendez walk to the FBLA meeting. 2.

The new distributive education teacher, Miss Carol LaSerte had many new plans and ideas for the DECA club. Unfortunately there were a few set backs. One was a fund raiser with broken candles. Another was several break-ins where proper ty was taken or destroyed. Still another was the amount of money required to have the annual DECA banquet. Therefore the banquet was changed from a rather more formal affair to a picnic-type lunch at Bear Creek Lake. 7. DECA Members: ROW 1: Miss Carol LaSerte, Terry Orange, Debbie Wilson, Jennifer Brance, Janet Lawrence, Freda Branch, Cindy Robinson, Edna Miller ROW 2: Pam Stansbury, Joyce Trent, Myrtle Jones, Shelia Allen, Barbara Carter, Michelle Faggins, Lisa Brown, Cynthia Brown, Catherine Carter, ROW 3: Shelia Kidd, Charles Allen, Theresa Pickens, Samuel Gray, Paul Taylor, Mark Brown, Micheal Gray, Ronnie Trent, Pamela Deane, Paula Gilliam, Carolyn Payne. 8.

DECA 29 In Lights Several determined young actors and actresses gave their all in the school theatre productions. The Christ- mas play, although not a major production, was very popular with the students. Krazy Kamp, the annual spring production, proves that hard work can result in a good show. 1. The members of the Drama club are: Row 1. Caryn Lewis, Joette Parker, Jay White, Jennifer Norman, LaVonne McLendon, Mrs. Jamerson, Rosemary Mendez. Row 2.

Only A Few Because of the troubles facing drama at CHS, there have been fewer plays performed by Cumberland stu- dents and therefore fewer actors eligible for membership in the Thespians. The few members who remain are veteran actors whom have participated in drama for many years. The present troupes has allowed its mem- bership to lapse but may be renewed next year due to the offering of a dramatic literature class, which may try producing more plays. 1. Tammy Franklin kindly growls at the photographer. 2. Jay White acts like “Moses”. 3. Edward Steele portrays Mark Twain at CHS. 30 Drama Need a Boost? Everyone can use a boost. This year a club was formed to give it — CHS Booster Club. The club was formed to promote school spirit, support activities here and raise money for the “extras” that CHS needs and which the budget won’t provide. They sponsored an alumni school football game, a Spring Carni- val, and a chicken barbecue among other things. They raised funds for a weighlifting machine, cheerleading equipment, an award for outstanding artist, a sports’ banquet, and eventual goals are to provide a school-owned football field adjacent to the high school. Officers this year are: Richard Meador, Pres.; Jack Bryant and James Shores, V. Pres.; and Becky Schalow, Tres. 1.

They perform at the home basketball games during half-time. Each year the team picks new captains. These captains organize the team and prepare for the year. The team makes up routines which are practiced two times a week. They perform to the latest music. Various members of the team donate records and tapes to be used for performances. They also make their uniforms to save money. The team is sponsored my Mrs. Betty Scales. She has been the sponsor since it started. They usually hold their meetings in her room. 1981-82 Drill Team: Row 1: Cassandra Carter, Denise Copeland, Vanessa Ford, Bridgette Cox, Charlene Walker, Row 2: Rita Brown, Karen Crump, Wanda Ford, Mrs. Scales, Syni Jackson, Susie Thornton, Sonya Nash 2.

Mr. Calvin Sorrell directs both a junior and a senior chorus. This year the chorus performed several selections as they made their debut in the Second Annual Spring Concert. They created an interesting anthology of songs by singing classical pieces as well as traditional and modern popular favorites. 5.

They also made Christmas cards with candy in them for school personnel and recognized deserving members at each meeting. But it wasn’t all work. The members spon- sored a dance, went on a trip roller skating, visited the Capitol in Richmond, and had the annual hike. This year Mr. Tyree joined the three other sponsors, Mrs. Scales, Mrs. Booker, and Mrs. Jamerson.

This year the club was fairly large in size and because of the good membership they were able to enter and be active in many contests such as the tractor contest and public speaking contests. One annual activity, the St ate Fair, was also represented by the Cumberland Future Farmers. This club makes good progress each year under the direction and leadership of good officers and two good sponsors namely Mr. Henry Morris and Mr. William Flippen. With good members and good leaders and sponsors there is no way this good club can go wrong! 1. Keith Foster is interrupted while observing the bulletin board in Mr. Morris’ room. 2.

We’re Prepared! In the job market today, unskilled workers have very little chance of getting a good job. One club here — VICA — is trying to remedy this by fostering an interest in vocational training. Sponsors, Rever- end Dean Farmer and Mr. Phil Scarborough, help students obtain job skills by teaching students how to do such things as to build storage houses and furniture. They do jobs for the school, such as pouring sidewalks in front of Dr. McDaniel’s office, and for other organiza- tions, such as building the set for the play Krazy Kamp for the Drama Club. They definitely get on-the-job training! 8.

Teacher Aides 41 We Got the Beat! The band was really in step this year. They placed in many of the competitions they took part in. They also learned many new songs. This year the band played in about five parades. They played in both the Cumberland and Farmville Christmas Parade and their parades during the Christmas season. In addition to these performances they participated in the High School carnival, a Spring concert, and home and away football games. Just as every other club or association at school needs money so to does the band. In order to raise some of the needed funds the band sold many things. They sold memo boards, rock pots with cheese and many other such items. S fee eee eee tt ted id jadiod = Goes [tpewee’ ST , Laer al 1.

They practice long, hard hours and perform at games and parades. They make up their own routines, to the accompaniment of the CHS Band, and this year even designed their own uniforms. The Drum Majorette for this year was Antoinette Brown. She led the band and majorettes and entertained the crowds. She was instrumental in the success of the Majorettes. 1.

They show it by carrying the flags and es- courting the band to football games, parades, and trips. They practice at least three times a week, which amounts to many hours a year. They create their own routines, which are very intricate, and practice to make them perfect. They participated in fund raisers (selling jackets), worked at the Spring Carnival, and kept flags in excellent condition. 1.

Raffle those cakes.” These are familiar cries from the yearbook students and the sponsor. Money is a constant worry. Photography costs rise, publica- tion costs rise, the price of everything rises.

The first was Donald Davis. This student received a blow to the head during Christmas vacation, which resulted in further complica- tions, leading to death. The second student was Roger Shrewsbury. Roger was killed on highway 60 after school, when he was hit by an on-coming truck. Although taken to the hospital, he did not recover. Although Donald was honored by a poem written in his honor, called “To Someone I'll Remember,” written by Mrs. Joanne Petty and published in the school magazine Dimensions and Roger re- ceived a special memorial program, the yearbook staff would also like to add its sympathy to the families and pay its tribute to the memory of these two students. 1.

They devote many hours to working with the students — inside and outside of class. | They supervise many extra-curricular activities. They help the students with spring productions and some sports in addi- tion to some after-school tutoring. What A Turnover! The key word in the central office this year is change. Replacing retiring superintendent Paulus Price Cumberland County now has Dr. L. Robert McDaniel from Rockingham County. Mrs. Pauline DePew, now fills the position of assistant Superintendent vacated by the leaving of Mr. Herman Bart- lett, presently Assistant Superintendent of Craig County. Mr. Robert L. Scales, former principal of CES, fills the job of Director of Transportation and Vocational Education. Mrs. Joan Kidwell, formerly of the State Dept. of Educa- tion, became the new Director of Special Services. Longtime secretary Pearle Irving retired and was replaced by Jean Willis. This leaves secretary Donna Sloan as the only longtime resident of the central office. ee . .

New Faces Just as the central office saw changes, so did the CHS office. Former principal T.C. Dickerson, III left during the summer to become Assistant Superintendent of Louisa County schools. The job was filled by Mr. Hal Hedley, previously from Powhatan County. Although he and his wife still reside there, Mr. Hedley can be seen at almost all CHS events. Still in the office is Mr. Moses Foster, long associate with Cumberland County, the two guidance councelors Joyce Ross and Pearl Gilliam, and secretary Shirley M. Blackwell.

Faculty, Administration 55 We're Just Wild And Crazy Teachers There is many things to do and lots of grades to Mary Allen record, not to mention some near impossible stu- Carol Barker dents. But with all this hard work, they still find time to have fun here at school. With all the activi- ties going on this year, the teachers had no choice but to take an active part in all of the football, volleyball, and softball games. Students watched the male faculty cheerlead while the female faculty members play a hardnose game of football. With the arrival of the new administration and the revision of many policies, the teachers now have a good reason to have a good time. = sa 1. Jennifer Samuels makes a dash for the door. 2.

The paper work alone is astounding. Grade books, registers, failure forms, honor rolls, report cards, T.E.I.’s and 11’s, course descriptions, absentee notes, passes, requisti- tions, and committee reports make up only a few of the many forms and reports teachers prepare. Then it’s rush to class to put notes on the board, hurry to the lounge to run off a test, run to the 3:15 meeting, and hasten to type up a worksheet for the next day. 1.

The extra-curricular activities never end. The football team needs a coach. The Senior class needs a chaperone. The juniors need teachers to play in the junior faculty volleyball game. Someone must hike with the Kee Club on their annual picnic at Bear Creek Lake. A teacher’s contract reads from 8:30 to 3:30, but those are the hours for only a few. Many, such as Miss Tillerson (who gives her Monday nights for a commu- nity student exercise class) and Mrs. Meinhard (who attends all games to chaperone the cheerleaders), spend many many hours a week volunteering their time to help others. 1.

The CHS custodians, all of whom have been here for years, spend many hours trying to keep the school in good clean working order. There is always a floor to mop, a grassy yard to mow, a wall to paint, a radiator to fix, a broken window pane to replace, or a chalk board to wash. But with people breaking panes, students writing on the bathroom walls, radiators breaking down, teachers writing on the boards, it just never ends. 1.

Getting to school would be quite a problem without those dedicated road hogs — the bus drivers. They drive, often through terrible road conditions to get CHS students here 180 days a year, and they have their problems, too, other than road conditions. They complained mostly of students fighting, curs- ing, and talking back. Several students have received ISS for these offenses. This year there are quite a few student drivers. Pam Stans- bury has a permanent route. Donald Lawrence frequently drives the activity bus and the bus to games, and substitutes include Glenn Patterson and Connie Newton. 1.

It was a good year but now it’s over. It’s time to move on to bigger and better things. The Seniors’ last year was spent in a flurry of activities. Senior year always seems a bit hectic and this year was no different. They did manage however to mix a little play with their work. There were many games, dances and trips for them. They will always have their year to treasure as “Nothing now is left but Magestic Memory.” — Longfellow Rising Costs How much does it cost to be a senior? That depends on how much you want to spend and how big a “splash” you want to make. Senior Class dues are $10. Going to New York on the Class Trip this year costs $134 — expenses there are extra. The prom is another big expense. A tuxedo or dress, food and beverage, flow- ers, gas, and a party can cost anywhere up to a small fortune. to $ Are there other expenses? Certainly there are announcements, Senior pictures ranged from $ year books ($1.00 extra for names), class keys, caps and gowns, college boards, application fees, graduation dresses and suits... Sometimes seniors don’t think the list will ever end. 1. Senior Class Officers — Byron Fisher, President; Anthony Tyson, Vice- President; Martha Hernandez, Treasurer; Caryn Lewis, Secretary 2.

On From Here Even though by now students know — or have some idea what they want to do, things may not be so easy. Economists say that this year will be one of the most difficult since the 1940’s for graduates to find jobs. The Federal budget is being cut, which means many scholarships and grants formerly avail- able to students going to college will not be available. With so many options closed, seniors may be in trouble. Ruth Annette McAbee Band 8th, gth, roth, 12th Sheila Ann Meador Varsity Baseball Manager Kee Club 7th, 8th, 9th, roth T.

The class showed that they could handle responsibility and work together. This was the first year that they had to work as a group for a common goal and they did the job well. As a result of their efforts, the Prom was a “fait accompli.” The juniors realized that “No man is an island, entire of itself, every man isa piece of the continent, a part of the main.” — John Donne Jean Allen Regina Allen Shelia Allen Lisa Asal Gayle Atkinson Angela Baldwin Betty Blanton Sarah Blanton 1.

They started out their high school years (excluding 7th grade, of course) with an attendance policy which will ensure that they are at school to receive a good education. They are also going to be here long enough to take advantage of the new improvements planned for CHS — new lockers, a text book rental system, improved heating and ventilation in the classrooms and cafeteria, and improve- ments in the grounds.

After many trials and tribulations through- out high school, they have gotten a taste of the real world. They have grown up from the little seventh graders to be very responsible young adults. Many years of putting up with sometimes not very understanding teachers and parents have taken their toll, but the juniors keep on going. They realize they have gone too far to turn around. 1.

They like to think of ways they can get into trouble for the first time since they have been at the high school. Eleventh graders have been going to high school for so long that they don’t know where to stop. Thanks to understanding principals however, they nev- er get too far out of line. The juniors are now safe from the boring routine of everyday school life. © a eae ggpmeny ements LaVerne Taylor Wendy Thomas Audrey Trent Charles Trent Diane Trent Joyce Trent Phyllis Trent Chanel Vaughan Donzella Walker James Watson Charlene Welch Leslie Williams 1.

There were a lot of decisions to be made and things to be considered. Should they order class rings now or take the PSAT twice? How long would it take them to finish Driver’s Ed and get their licenses? What classes should they take next year in preparation for their future?

Sophomores g1 En Medias Res The sophomore year is one of challenge and excitement. Many are at the crossroads of their high school life, and therefore are beginning to seriously choose a career for the future. This is the year most will receive their driver’s license, that is if they survive the drivers ed course. They are enthusiastic because they have not yet grown tired of school. Being a sophomore does have many advantages; no longer are they trod upon by upper classmen because they are upper classmen. This is the magic year. Sophomores don’t have to worry about college boards, term papers, research papers, and class dues. With the close of the sophomore year and the ordering of class rings, the tenth graders will realize that being en medias res is lots of fun.

Whenever one goes into town, you can be sure he heads for the nearest amusement room and releases his frustrations through a variety of video games. This was a favorite place for sophomores to go, according to a poll taken in English class. This so-called “pac man fever” has driven plenty of CHS’s sophomores crazy?

They’re halfway through high school but still have two more years to go. Will they somehow manage to graduate? Will they escape the imposing figure of the wall? tenth grade 96 Melissa Seaver and Paul Newman stroll leisurely towards their classes after lunch. The Freshmen are becoming accustomed to the pace at the High School. They’re trying to find their niche. They have many of the some privileges as the other students but as yet they aren’t as important to them. They want to be as popular as the upperclassmen and this presents some problems for them. They know their day will come and they will look back and say “So on we worked and waited for the light”. — Edwin Arlington Robinson Witty or Wise With the Freshmen having the largest class obviously they produce the most writing, whether it be homework on the black- board or graffiti on the bathroom wall. They had their share of report writing in Mrs. Scales English class. Ms. Wilfong really keeps them busy with learning grammar. Mrs. Davis along with Ms. Barron, their math teachers can’t keep them busy enough. It’s the only way to keep them quiet. Though Freshmen may have a hard time, it pays off at the end. Let’s just say during this time in school, they’re half-wise and half- foolish.

If they could look into the future, what could it have to say to them? It might say that next year they could rent books rather than buy wee rae as them. It might say that by their junior year 3.

I] Wasn’t Sleeping ... At one time or another the inevitable happens to most students. They seem to lose their concentration and slowly drift away from the subject. It is hard to keep history on your mind when you were thinking about what happened the night before or what’s going on after school. However they always wake up in time to receive the homework or to find out there’s a test tomorrow. According to a mini-poll taken at lunc h one day, a majority of the gth graders polled had fallen asleep at least once in class. Who knows what notes or bits of wisdom may have been missed? Opportunity may have knocked and thought the occupant had gone.

They no longer have to sit on the floor at pep rallies. Teachers don’t shutter at the mention of gth graders the way they do at 8th graders. Unfortunately they some- times feel lost in the middle — that all privileges go to upper classmen. Luckily this is an easy problem because it goes away when they become upper classmen. 1. Mary Davis, Kathy Skelly and Billy Jo Woods can’t wait to do their exercises in gym. 2. Susan Speas jumps to attention when someone calls her in the cafeteria. 3. Melissa Seaver almost floats in a dream down the side walk. 104 Freshmen Rookies The eighth graders are struggling to be recognized at the High School. They think they have a long way to go. Being one of the youngest grades is not easy at a school with so many people. They want to be mature but still act their age. They have yet to realize, “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” — Shakespeare Wishful Thinking Life for the eighth graders isn’t as bad as the upperclassmen make it out to be. Several of them have had a lot more fun than they had in the past. They have more freedom to roam the campus and make more friends among the older students. However, there are some consequences along with the fun. More responsibilities are added to the eighth graders, but wishful thinking will see them through.

They are finally learning their way around the school. Now that they are used to school life at the high school they feel more at home. They realize that they have a few more years to go but things are looking up. They are no longer the youngest of the high school and they have a traditional name. They are the ROOK- IES! The clubs and extra-curricular activities still don’t mean too much to them but they are more aware of their presence at the school.

There is something interesting happening here at CHS and the eighth graders enjoy it. From nine until three there is a chance to have some getting together in the morning, playing during lunch periods, and joking a round on the bus.

This is the moment they’ve been waiting for six years and now they are here. However, they are now back at the bottom of the totem pole feeling like kindergarten children again. With the move up to high school comes many more responsibilities and lots more FUN! Seventh Heaven Now that they have been here at the high school for a while the seventh graders are in seventh heaven. Although lowest on the totem pole, they still have several privileges unheard of in elementary school. With all this going for them, no complaints are being heard. They just take what they have in stride and dream about tomorrow. 1. Cindy Shores glares at an unwanted photographer during home- room. 2.

Only a 6th grader, or so it seems to the yearbook staff. They are located, for most of the day, at the far end of the campus. They have few electives, they are not allowed to play sports and they can’t hold an SCA office. Although they attend a high school they have much of the routine of elementary school. Rumor even has it that next year or the following one the 7th grade may be moved back to the elementary school. Then they will not even be part of the high school. 1.

Although 7th graders cannot do many things that other students can do, they enjoy playing on the front lawn before school and attending dances after the basketball games. They can go to pep rallies (but must usually sit on the floor). They are listed on the high school honor roll, if lucky enough to make it, and can go to assemblies. And 7th graders can certainly go to ISS, since a very high percent- age of 7th graders get sent there. They are allowed to join clubs. Many 7th graders like to join the Kee Club, the Pep squad and be in the GHS marching band. 1. Billy Jo Wood and Tommy Bortley clowning around at the 5- Country Fair. 2.

Advertisements have been and still are a EG — integral part of our accredited finances. Each year the business ee ee, staff for the yearbook busily prepares a workable schedule in order to be very efficient in ad sales. The key to their success is an interested effort from all members of the yearbook staff and advisor. Local sponsors are the yearbooks mainstay and they greatly appreciate everyones generous effort.

The students feel there is too much homework and not enough free time. There are buses that are too old and school jackets cost too much. Water fountains don’t always work, students don’t always pass, and dressing for gym is not al- ways fun. This year breakins were a major problem, even making the front page of the area newspaper. Yet some things here are good. The 134 Closing school has a new and eager administration. New equipment has been provided for the computers, field trips are conducted, and stu- dents can always find time for socializing. The school has had more special activities this year than last and drink and snack ma- chines were provided for student use. Plans were even made to provide lockers for stu- dents in the near future, if funds permit, of course! 1. Shirley Thornton waits for the pep-rally to start. 2. Signs everwhere state rules for students. 3. Patty Mullins has met her article deadline. 4. An old familiar picture hangs in Room 8. 5. Alex Gust rests at McDonald’s on his way to see Dracula. 6. A “mysterious” hand reaches through the broken door pane in Room 10. (Door was broken by vandals unknown.) 7. Shaunie Hite, Jean Jurt, and Chris Warner (among others) try a new exercise in gym. 8. The new computer sends out a message to students. 9. Paul Newman, Melissa Seaver, and Martha Lee wait for the lunch period to end. 10. Mr. Hedley and daughter wave to fans in the 1981 Christmas parade in downtown Cumberland. 11. Bernard Jones proudly displays his championship jacket. 12. Franklin Bowles “dreams” of American literature. 13. The water fountain springs a leak. 14. Ricky Seaver and Tammy Bartley race with the bus. Closing 135 Carved in Stone The writing on the wall says time is running out. Another year has passed by. Some students graduated — some didn’t make it. Other students went to pursue profitable careers or fulfilling roles in life. Others wer- en’t prepared for jobs or didn’t know what they wanted to do. It’s a tough decision — not everyone can read the writing on the wall. 136 Closing 1. Elnease Clark, Gloria Booker, Angela Bolden, Frances Trent test the strength of the railing. 2. Ed Steel takes a drink to prepare for his portrayal of Mark Twain at CHS. 3. Betty Blanton teases the photographer. 4. The scoreboard tells it all. 5. Evi- dence proving Lisa Asal’s guilt at the charge of defacing public property. 6. Vertia Jamerson won- ders what play everyone else in running. 7.
