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

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.

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.
