Cumberland High School - Duke Yearbook (Cumberland, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1984 volume:

The Duke 1984 Cumberland High School Cumberland, Virginia 23040 “We've Got It Made” The new slogan for the State of Virginia is also appropriate for CHS. This school doesn’t have the newest buildings or thehighest paid teachers or the best heating system. It doesn’t have the latest in audiovisuals or the most sports equipment or enough electric typewriters. Yet CHS does have dedicated staff members, major equipment such as computers, and much student enthusiasm. 1. Libby Finch and Chris Warner daydream during lunch. 2. Ruth Giles gives blood for the Red Cross. 3. Dr. Basham and Mrs. Allen socialize together. 4. Kovalensey Brooks is reluctant to work on his math homework. 5. The winners of “Fad Day’, Ben Varnier, Fred Hindman, and Jean Hurt pose the new punk styles for the photographer. 6. Tanya Smith, Keisha Brown, and Gracie Mosby sing their hearts out. 7. Rita Scales and Richard Brooks study hard. 8. Mr. Holmes and Mr. Bianco converse during a basket- ball game. 9. The J.V. Cheerleaders are confused about a lineup for a cheer. 10. Douglas Jones at his best. 11. Susan Sullivan says, ““You better beat it, buster!” Title Page Opening Contents Faculty and Administration Seniors Bad? Better? Students always say Cumberland is boring, that its a poor county, that school lunches are terrible, that nothing ever happens at school. Yet there are no gang fights and students aren’t afraid to walk from one class to another. And students get a lunch for only 65¢ — some schools don’t even have a lunch program at all. Things aren’t perfect, but CHS is closer than many places. 1. Fikria and Khalida Stwadah attend a CHS field trip. 2. Tim Matney works on a project in building trades. 3. Seventh graders listen closely to Mr. Miller talk about world news. 4. Coach Walden and Iris Langhorne prepare for another Varsity Basketball game. 5. Cindy Brown studies hard for her government exam. 4 Theme In sports, a student grasps at the physical limits of the body using all his skills and knowledge and competing not only with others but with himself. At Cumberland, a participant has it made — he can play football or basketball; he can run track; he can take drivers’ education; he can take advanced P.E.; he can go to games or be a cheerleader. The list is endless. Sports Divider 5 Win A Game Please! 1983 was not a winning season for the Dukes. The team was small and several of their key players suffered injuries during the season. Even so, the team did achieve several victories. Players also enjoyed the Homecoming Parade, the pep rallies, and the bon fire. Some players had it made — such as Tray Richard, who was named to the all-district team for two posi- tions and Tommy Brown, who was voted “Mr. Football.” The Dukes did manage to win three games, two which were the first and the last games. 6 Varsity Football The Cumberland Dukes Varsity Football team members are: ROW 1: Kelly Hardy, Dwayne Bryant, Tony Taylor, Chris Riddle, Paul Duty, John Robertson.

There was a lot of spirit gener- ated during the week — cheerleaders put up posters, the students dressed up on various days, a pep rally was held, and donations were accepted to help buy a motorized wheelchair for Ophelia Redmand.

Work, Sweat and M ore Work The players of the J.V. Football team worked hard this year. Practices were every day and games were hard. There weren't many victories to improve the team’s moral, yet players seemed to en- joy the homecoming bonfire, the Mr. J.V. Football contest, and the pep rallies. Grayson Midkiff makes his way through the crowd during a pep rally. 2. The J.V. players practice for their games against Amelia. “ os WUKES TY wee A. Dukes’ J.V.

Though it has only been apart of Cumberland sports program for two years, the Cross Country team has done ex- tremely well. They captured the district title for the second year in a row. The team’s power comes from it’s talented run- ners. Not like most schools which have only one or two talented runners, Cumberland’s whole team is filled with running talent. Finishing the regular season undefeated, the Duke team was disappointed with eleventh place in the Regional meet. All in all the Dukes are looking very good. scale 1.

They practiced hard, played hard, and finished the year with a phenominal win- ning season, placing first in the district. One player remarked that hard work really paid off. Many of the players are looking forward to playing on the varsity squad next year. 1. Cumberland’s J.V. Basketball team readies for an- other game. 2.

Cheerleaders ° We’re Burnin’ Up” Most 8th and 9th grade girls must think cheerleaders have it made because the 1983-84 J.V. squad was unusually large. According to veteran Varsity Cheerleader, Donna Hamrick, they also had a lot of pep. They were enthusiastic at games and participated in fund raisers. Many cheerleaders attended a summer cheering clinic and they appeared in new uniforms 1983-84 J.V. Cheerleaders: ROW 1: Cindy Shores.

ROW 2: Melissa Spillman, Kim Meador, Terry Taylor. They’ve Got Spirit The Cheerleaders had it made. They created new cheers and inspired the teams and fans. Their performances showed how hard they worked and how full of spirit they were. The cheerleaders are an important part of school because they develop the high moral of team mates and public. 1.

For the last two years, they have captured the James River Dis- trict Championship. The “Gold Fever Gang” was coached Garry Ferris. He has a background in wres- tling and likes the sport immensely. He said that it would be an experience for the young men coming up. He also said wrestlers should give 100% to the team and 10% to themselves during practice. The team set a record for the highest score ever achieved — 81-0 — against a school in Richmond. 1. Coach Ferris relaxes in the teacher’s lounge before a hard practice. 3.

Touch All Bases The 1984 Junior Varsity Baseball team was basi- cally a new team. They worked under the direction of Coach Richard Goode. Members started practice later than the varsity team and had to work extra hard to catch up. According to one player, the team excelled in sportsmanship and participation. Members expected the first game to be a hard one — they were right, but the team managed a defeat. 1. Paul Duty rides home from a tough game. 2.

They had a hard-working defense and a hard hitting offense. Most of the players on the varsity team came up from the JV squad. Many of the players were juniors. The weather was a major drawback at the beginning of the season. Rain and cold weather hindered practices. However, Coach Buddy Martin kept working the team, holding some practices in the elemen- tary school gym. TOP LEFT: Chris Foster sweats it out during baseball practice.

Baseball 19 Breaking Away CHS has been doing exceptionally well in outdoor track in recent years, and this year was no exception. The team was coached by Ms. Kempy Tillerson and Mr. John Wal- den, who also coached cross-country track. According to Ms. Tillerson, the team had great potential and good talent, but needed more participation to be the best in the district. Early practices were not well attended but gradually the team gained in mem- bership and in endurance. 1. Robert Wade, Earnest Brooks and Kim Carter stop long enough to have their picture taken. 2.

The girls softball team, coached by Gerry Ferris for the second season, returned to the field, and began the long preparation that would weld these individual talents into a team. Girls softball has been quite successful during its time as a Cumberland sport. The team got off to a slow start, with many players coming out late, but after that the team picked up. Several players were returning players, which added to the team’s strength. These players were able to give their skill and expertise to other new players. They had also worked with Coach Ferris and know what to expect. Practices were hard — the team members had to run the bases, practice’ catching, do exercises, listen to lec- tures, and get ready to play. The work, according to one player, was well worth it. Linda Warren said, “It’s fun — I like to play.” 22 Softball 1. Coach Ferris prepares the starting line-up for the next game. 2. Sharon Stinson attempts to catch a fly ball. 3.

Even though no pay is given to club sponsors, teachers volunteer to do them anyway. Even though students don’t always receive honors and recognition for their activities, students still join FFA and NHS and work in the yearbook and help in the community. Even though the county is poor, the students raise enough money to have a prom and publish a literary magazine.

Officers were President, Tony Brooks; Vice-President, David Cochran; Sec- retary, Michelle Lipscomb; Treasurer, Becky An- derson; and Reporte r, Gerry Trent. Members, along with the help of the sponsors — Mr. Ernest Miller and Mrs. Carol Barker — orga- nized a “mini” — homecoming parade and a semi- formal homecoming dance. They also held a Christ- mas social for faculty and administrators of CHS, sold tankards featuring the 1983-84 Dukes Basket- ball Schedule on the back, and exchanged ideas with other schools. Members visited the General Assem- bly in February and attended the annual State Spring Conference. This was a very active year for the SCA — they were helping to make CHS a better place to be. 1. 1983-84 SCA sponsors and officers: Carol Barker (Spon- sor), Gerry Trent (Reporter), Becky Anderson (Treasurer), Tony Brooks (President), Michelle Lipscomb (Secretary), David Cochran (Vice-President), and E.

This year academic letters were awarded to deserving members and two students — Rita Scales and John Robinson — received their second letter. Tbe NHS had a campaign to publicize the club in an effort to make students more aware of grades and the importance of study. To raise money to buy pins for next year and honor cords for the seniors, the NHS sponsored several fund-raising activities, such as selling key chains. 2.

Ask the Future Homemakers of America. The FHA club baked goods, made articles of clothing and even took care of children on occasions. But, this is not all FHA did. They took several trips, held interesting demonstrations in their meetings, helped with parades and even planned social events. The FHA had a very productive year and is still going strong.

This year the club tried to help others make it in the world. Members jumped rope for the heart fund, walked for the Virginia Lung Association, contributed to the Res- cue Squad, gave blood to the Red Cross, and raised funds to help Ophelia Redmond get a new motorized wheel- chair. Members had fun in other ways. They sponsored the Sweetheart Dance in February, went on a skating trip, and took a hike to Bear Creek Lake. The club got a new sponsor this year, Mr. Harold Holmes. Although new to the county, he has been a tre- mendous asset to the club. RIGHT: Vice President Eugene James hurries to start the October meeting.

This year members learned to operate cash registers, write resumes, and get to work on time. Members competed in various contests in marketing, distribution, and other cate- gories. Advanced students were placed in jobs and their progress monitored. Many area stores cooperated with DECA, including Winn-Dixie and Roses. DECA sponsor was Mrs. Carol Laird. She has sponsored the club for the past three years. agARBUTVE EDUCA py CUMBERLAND HIGH TOP: DECA advisor Mrs. Carol Laird shows a student the correct way to fill out a job application.

The magazine contained artwork, essays, poetry, and short stories contributed by students and faculty alike. Under the instruction of Mrs. Robin Smith, the staff had it made with many publication sales and extra credit for stu- dents. HEADS AND TALES was designed to bring students out of the woodwork and into the campus spotlight with their creative writing. 1. Mrs. Robin Smith frantically finishes work be- fore a deadline. 2.

Heads and Tales 41 Still Achieving! The yearbook made it through both good and bad times in 1984. It was good that the yearbook received more financial support from the school board. On the other hand, it was bad that only three second year students returned to work with the yearbook. Although first year students were plentiful, the task of producing a yearbook was not exactly “‘a piece of cake.” A special thanks is given to the ever diligent yearbook sponsor Mrs. Jamerson. Without whose help there would not be a yearbook worth mentioning. Prw 1.

Bonnie Daves’ life tragically ended during her Junior year. Bonnie was an asset to the school; The students felt a great sadness in their hearts. The yearbook staff would like to extend its sympathy and deep regret to the family and friends of Bonnie Daves. Bonnie Daves —, July 15, 1966 to December 29, 1984. In Memorium 43 Joe Brooks — Dedicated Employee Mr. Joe Brooks was certainly a dedicated employee of Cumberland County Schools. He worked here for 21% years and was a mechanic and bus shop supervisor. He retired this year. For his efforts he had been presented a plaque by Dr. Robert L. McDaniel at the January, 1984 School Board meeting. He was also active in the community. He was a member of the Cumberland Branch of the NAACP, financial secretary of the Young Men’s Social Club, member of Randolph Lodge No. 30 F AM, and treasurer of the Cumberland County Fair Association. 44 Dedication Faculty Sometimes teachers and administrators don’t think they have it made in Cumberland. Salaries for the teachers are among the lowest in the state, classroom space is limited, the budget is never big enough, the library is too small, no one is ever pleased with the heat (or lack of it), the paper work is endless, and the work never stops. There are papers to grade, forms to fill out, problems to solve, meetings to attend, and classes to take. Yet, faculty members all agree that there are some things to be grateful for. The teachers generally get along with each other. The students here are some of the best in the world (according to a non official poll taken in the teachers’ lounge). Faculty Divider 45 Having It Rough It wasn’t always easy to juggle the budget to be able to afford heat AND a phone. Sending students home for misconduct wasn’t fun. Trying to comply with new state guidelines with limited classroom space was no picnic. Yet, administra- tors have some great students and qualified personnel. The maintenance and the cafeteria staff worked hard to provide good nutritious lunches. Yes, administra- tors had it made in Cumberland. 1. Dr. McDaniel reviews the list of students suspended. 2. Donna Sloan, secretary of the superintendent, types a memo for Dr. McDaniel. 3. Ms. DePew, assistant superin- tendent, is busy with the Cumberland High School news- letter. 4. Mrs. Willis surveys the absentee reports. 5. Sarah J ackson and Dr. Bashem look on as Mrs. Blackwell works on the school records. 6. Mr. Foster, assistant prin- cipal, addresses the teachers at another assembly. 7. Mrs. Wolcott types the announcements. 8. Mr. Scales, the di- rector of transportation, seems pleased with the good re- 46 Administration cords of the bus drivers. It’s Rewarding What was good about being a teacher at CHS? According to teachers at CHS, it was being able to work with the students. Teachers agree that students from CHS are among the best anywhere. Many are disad- vantaged, the county cannot afford to build recreation centers, the school board cannot afford to pay club sponsors — these things combined made teachers feel needed.

They wrote course descriptions, worked on curricu- lum guides, filled out countless forms — per- haps next year they won’t have to do it again. Then teachers will think they have it made in Cumberland.

Teachers 49 Journeying to Education One hundred-eighty days out of the year, between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., big yellow buses were traveling for the same destination — Cumberland High School. And, who were behind those steering wheels? None other than the devoted Cumberland bus drivers. These drivers covered many miles and some. Besides driving students to and from school, they also transported them to plays, sports events, and other extracurricular activities.

The custodians at Cumberland High School this year worked very pa- tiently with the heat and plumbing. They put countless hours in as overtime trying to maintain the systems.

So this is what is behind the master minds! Custodians 51 52 Cafeteria Serve 7Em Up! The students at CHS really had it made as far as the cafetaria went. Many of the staff members — including manager, Mrs. Sally Hatcher — have been here long enough to be super efficient. The prices did not go up for lunches this year, despite inflation. And in an era when many schools found it impossible to continue to operate a cafeteria at all, CHS had a cafeteria staff that still insisted on mak- ing homemade rolls. 4. Carolyn Crump enjoys another delicious lunch in the cafeteria. 1. Mrs. Hatcher is honored at an FFA dinner for her good cooking. 2.

The other students had to stand while they marched into the gym. They also escaped the new state requirements which will be instituted next year requiring all students to be in school all day, and requiring more skills. : : 53 Seniors Funds Money is always a problem for any organization, team, club, or group. The Senior Class is no exception. Collectively, they needed money for class trip, graduation, class picnic, and class night. Individually each senior needed (or wanted) money for announcemen ts, class key, yearbook, prom dress tux, gradu- ation clothes, caps and gown, and senior portraits. Seniors found out how much it costs to be on top. 1. Janet Honebein looks at a picture of a friend. 2. John Robinson takes a break from his class-work. 3. Donna Hamrick, Tammie Price, Kelly Nolan exchange 1 cheers during halftime. 4. Greg Sears and James Louis prepare for a test. 5. Linwood Williams is late for class. 6.

Seniors worked hard to plan a graduation at Jar- men Auditorium, at Longwood College, in Farmville, Va. Mr. Reggie Smith, Jr. was asked to speak and Rev. Pat Staples to give the prayer. Caps and gowns were ordered early and so were flowers and programs. Seniors wanted to make graduation a suc- cess. i| a. 1. Bill Adams takes a break from the computers. 2.

They were able to get involved in school activities such as football, basketball, track, and band. Finally they could work on a yearbook and contribute to the literary magazine. Underclassmen Divider 65 Ten down — Two To Go! Being a Junior was fun and exciting. They had it made — they were able to create a prom for the Seniors. They took their S.A.T.’s for college, many obtained jobs; some decided on a future. 66 Juniors Dawn Adams Earnest Allen David Andrews Amanda Archer Kimberly Arthur Janet Barden Angela Bland Ernie Brooks Richard Brooks Tony Brooks Deborah Brown Kevin Brown Teresa Brayn Charles Bryant John Carter |.

The Juniors made it — or so they said. Now they only have one more year to go. They made plans for their future success. They took SAT’s, put some money in the treasury, and decided where they would like to go next year on their senior trip.

There were many changes this year. The present sophomore class will have to put up with these changes for two more years. Some of the changes will ultimately be for the best is the general consensus of the 10th graders. Maybe they do have it made in Cumberland. 1.

Sophomores excitingly began this year expecting more opportu- nities in school activities. So far they seemed to have fun discover- ing and fulfilling their need for adventure. A sophomore was quoted as saying that “they were only halfway there but we are having fun in the process.” Yum! Yum!! That must be what is going through Mary Shanks mind as she eats. 74 2.

This is the best year so far — many soph- omores said, “We have made it!’ Sopho- mores were free to be involved in more ac- tivities and make important decisions. They debated on what kind of class ring to get. They wondered how long it would take to get their driver’s license? They thought of going to college and taking SAT’s. Some of the decisions could wait — they had it made as sophomores.

Some tried hard for success. They have been told that they can have it made if they work and study and try. As was evidenced by the number of freshmen on the honor roll, some took this advice to heart. 1.

Sponsors were Mrs. Baker, Mr. Holmes, Coach Owen, Mrs. Bell and Mr. Webster. They had class officers, established class dues, and began to try to find ways of making money for their Junior and Senior years. Their new officers were Joyce Hol- man (President), Tammy McAbee (Vice-President), Chris- tine Archer (Secretary), and Christine Booker (Treasurer). 1. Tammy Bartley looks at an interesting slide. 2.

Plans are in the preliminary stages to move the 7th graders back to the elementary school, which would mean that next year 8th . graders would be on the bottom of the high school totem pole. This year was the first year that the 8th graders had organized as a class, with a president and class dues. Next year, there may be other academic requirements for 8th ; graders. As one 8th grader said, “I’m glad I was an 8th grader this year instead of next!” ; |, Melissa Martin is caught, coming into Mrs. Jamerson’s room, at lunch 84 Rookies 2.

Before, they had to wait in line to see a counselor and often felt that they were put on the bottom of the list. But this year they got to see a counselor sooner — this was more reason why CHS students should feel that they have it made. 6S A Be ae nmeeneenatanie tem as ce lee ‘ Elaine Marshall Melissa Martin Tina Moorefield Tammy McAbee Wardell Mosby Trina Mayo Roman Nelson Sherry Nolan William Orange Carol Paul Carolyn Owen Johnny Price Robert Purcell Johnny Reid Kimberly Ross Ernest Scholbohm Tyrone Scott Diane Seaver Doris Simms Darnell Sims 1.

Some were a bit frightened of leaving the elementary school, but as you can see from their smiles they are adjusting quite well.

Advertisements Money collected through the sale of advertisements is the life blood of independant publications. Without the support of businesses in the Cumberland and Farmville area the production of this yearbook would have been impossible. Even with an economic recession and a low tax base and all the other problems which beset a small, poor locality, the merchants and businessmen still support the yearbook.

The boy’s basketball team had a spectacular year, the math department got new computers, the School Board began a new publication — THE COURIER, the yearbook is still alive, the band members got their new uniforms, and the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades were organized as classes. Of course things were left. The heating system didn’t always work. Some buses were crowded. But the faculty, students, and administration were working and planning so that everyone could say “CHS has it made.” 1. The CHS band shows great talent in the Christmas parade. 2. The Dukes defense stops the opposing team dead in their tracks. Later winning, over Lynchburg Christian 13-12. 3. Coach Walden and Coach Tillerson triumphant- ly hold up the trophy awarded for cross country track. 4. Dr. Banton congratu- lates Dr. Bashum upon receiving his doctorate. 5. Ben Varnier shows off on his greatest talents, standing around. 6. The Varsity Cheerleaders show their stuff at a pep rally. 7. CHS students work hard in their studies. 102 Theme Theme 103 Have It Made With all the problems the school had during the year and with all the headaches, most students thought it wasn’t so bad — or so the general concensus said. There were no riots, no one actually froze, no one died of food poisoning, no one died from studying. RISE didn’t even kill anyone. Administrators, students, faculty, and staff do have it made in Cumber- land. 104 Closing L)
