Clubs and Activities We have it made in Cumberland. 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.

Let’s Play Ball! 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.

Making It Better = The 1983-84 school year saw the SCA holding the installation of new officers. 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.
