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.
