a DECA the Halls?!? Just like other clubs, DECA has had its ups and downs this year. 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.

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.

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.

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
