Built in 1936, it has seen much during its 50 years. Originally it housed grades 1- 12, with the library located upstairs in the center (now room 10) and the auditorium at the down- stairs center. As the years progressed, many things happened. The school system changed and only students in grades 8-12 were here and the library moved to a separate unit. Room 3 went from a grade school room to a science lab to the art room to the teachers’ lounge. What will the building be like in 50 more years? Only passing years will tell. 1.

Teachers constantly strive to improve. How? This year many teachers, such as Ms. Mary Bright, worked on their mas- ters degrees. Other teachers, such as Coach Horton, worked on additional en- dorsements in teaching. Many teachers took classes for recertification on person- al enrichment. Teachers attended in-ser- vice workshops and studied test scores and learned how to work computers. They called parents and went to commit- tee meetings and worked on curriculum guides. As one teacher responded, “I hope all of this will help. I would hate to think I did all this for nothing!” 1. Duane Asal and Paul Duty discuss the skipping policy with Mr. Foster. 2. Johnny Reed is going to teach Mrs. Jamerson’s English Class. 3. Ms. Ratay gets a few nice gestures from her students. 4. Amanda Swafford plays merrily during break. Sports At Cumberland High the athletic program plays an important role. Many students enjoy playing sports, others enjoy watching, and still others enjoy managing or writing articles about games for the newspaper or cheering or scorekeeping. Sporting events, particularly basketball, are well attended. The school has a J.V. girls’ basketball team, a varsity girls’ basketball team, a Varsity football team, J.V. football team, a boys’ varsity basketball team, a boys’ J.V. basketball team, a wrestling team, a J.V. cheering squad, a varsity cheering squad, a girls’ track team, a boys’ track team, a vasity baseball team, a J. V. baseball team, a girls’ softball team, and a cross country track team. Although many students and some faculty members would like to add teams — such as a tennis team — the school went the other way. Progress was not progress, but regression — the indoor track team was not able to get enough runners. But if the money situation improves and interest raises, perhaps more teams will be established. 1. Michael Johnson snatches a rebound during a game with Prince Edward. 2.

The team got to within one touchdown of heavily favored Lynchburg Christian. Many of the players were inexperienced and thought that they would improve as the season progressed. The team also had a new head coach, Mr. Gary Horton. He was new to the team and new to the area. He had to get to know the players before he could put them in the proper spot on the field. They also had to get to know him. Even though this was not a winning season, not all of the players were discouraged. As one player said, “I’ll try to look at this year as a learning experience, and look forward to a winning season next year.” 5. Tony Taylor blocks, while Chris Riddle makes a passing attempt. 6.

Memories 1985-86 Homecoming was very ex- citing because the rain caused the game to be delayed from Friday, Nov. 1, 1985, to Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1985. The Dukes were defeated by the Amelia Raiders. Although the rain postponed the game it did not stop the Homecoming Dance.

Even though they might not have come in first in the standings, they really made a lot of progress in working together this year. One player, Paula Erwin, said “We learned alot about working to- gether this year, and that makes up for not placing Ist.” Keep up the good work and you will surely be at the top once again! 17 Sluggers The 1986 Dukes Varsity Baseball Team did not have a very successful year but they did have some outstanding vic- tories.

They are now rebuilding for next year. The girls all had experience and tried for the Dis- trict Championship. However, they had a few injur- ies and a lack of girls for the team. The girls track team will suffer a great loss next year because eight girls are seniors. “The girls had a geat year,” said Coach Tillerson, “Although they didn’t get the Championship.” ashes vi 1.

Computing The Computer Club of CHS met after school each Wednesday to pursue its in- terest in computers. Members discussed ways to work with computers, made up new programs, traded games, and played games. They had several fund drives. One fundraiser involved a com- puter dating service. Students filled out questionaires about personal prefer- ences and lifestyles. Then Billy Ny- gaard, president of the Computer Club, with some assistance, devised a program to match students with each other. 1.

They attended several parades, even managing to get a Ist place in the Amelia parade, 2nd place in the Farmville parade, and participated in the Forest Festival Parade. They also participated in the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Virginia. Michael Turner and Timothy Reid liked the band so much they joined a Community band at Long- wood. Timothy Reid said, “I wouldn’t have missed band for the world this year.” 1. Michael Turner and Timothy Reid practice for the Longwood Community Band. 2.

Under her direction, the Chorus sang music which ranged from spirituals to pop music. The Chorus had a joint Christmas concert with the junior and senior band held at the Elementary School and a spring concert also held at the Elementary School. The 1985-86 Senior Chorus: ROW 1: Rose Allen, Diane Seaver, Michelle Lipscomb, Tonya Smith, Keshia Brown.

Keeping Ahead of the Band The 1985-86 Majorette squad had a very hard year, according to their captain Tammy Jamerson. Starting off was rough; the girls had to start from scratch. Tammy was the only returning member. They prac- ticed many afternoons after school to be able to march in parades and accompany the band to football games. Ms. Ratay, the sponsor, even learned the new routines with them. The team members got new uniforms this year. They also accompanied the band on their trip to Winchester. The 1985-86 Majorette squad: ROW 1: Tammy Jamerson, Mary Ford. ROW 2: Shearl Allen, Rena Chris, Tina Booker. Keeping the Beat The 1985-86 Flag Corps had a great year and a lot of fun, according to member Shirley Monroe. They did much more than merely twirl a flag. They marched with the band and entered parades. They made up all their own routines and practiced after school many hard hours. The 1985-86 Flag Corps: ROW 1: Shirley Monroe, Cynthia Thornton.

Everyone was fighting for a typewriter, yelling for pictures and trying to think of copy to write. The people on the staff tried to make progress each year, even with the good and bad times they have, while putting the yearbook together. Everyone that has worked with the yearbook said, “We could not survive without Mrs. Jamerson being there with the answers to our questions, and correcting our mistakes.” 1, Mrs. Jamerson and Eugene James discuss some serious business for the yearbook. 2.

Emphasis this year was placed on infant safety seats and the-club donated to the Safety Loaner Seat Program. In the spring they held two safety belt checks at school and at stores. They also held a poster contest in March; topic was Safety Seats for Children or Use of Safety Belts. Prizes were given to Ist, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. 6. Laura Vance and Dana Collins show how to buckle up kids the right way. 7. Mrs. Meinhard gets ready to conduct a seat belt check. 8. ROW 1: Laura Vance, Dana Collins, Larry Meredith, Duane Asal.

Most people do not think the art club does anything to help the school, but this year they made progress by painting a sign that was placed in front of the school. Such members as Greg Giuriceo, John Brown, and Louis Schalow showed that they cared by making a license plate for Ophelia Redmond’s new wheelchair. 9. Joe Giles, Ward Saunders, Greg Giuriceo, Norman Harris and Stan Carter are showing their art skills. 10. Ms. Stombock plans her daily events. 11.

Many teachers left at the end of the last school year for varied reasons — to get higher pay, to go back to school, to change occupations. Additional supportive personnel were added, including another secretary for the CHS office. There was also some- one new in the central administrative office. Dr. James E. Irons became the new superintendent of Cumberland County Schools on July 1, 1985. The new faculty seemed to have much enthusiasm. New committees were established to look into such things as expanding the school and improving curriculum. Members of the School Board are Mr. Louden Marshall, Mrs. Nell Blanton, and Dr. Lee Banton. A Hard Job “It’s a hard job, but somebody’s got to do it” might have been the slogan for the CHS central office. The personnel in the central office filed reports with the State Department, tried to find money for new buses and teachers’ salaries, looked at test scores, ordered new supplies, and attended meetings. They went beyond their job descriptions and took on even more duties. Dr. Irons tried to get sup- port and funds for new school buildings and attended many after-school affairs. Mrs. DePew assumed the responsibility for the division newsletter, THE COU- RIER. 1. Dr. James E. Irons attends a football game. 2. Mr. Robert L. Scales reviews his list of proposed field trips. 3. Mrs. Pauline DePew reviews SRA test scores. 4. Mrs. Jean Willis and Mrs. Donna Sloan take care of all the central office paperwork. 37 Running the Show’s Not Easy The 1985-86 office personnel faced many trials. Their assign- ments for the year included trying to improve test scores, upgrad- ing curricuum, getting ready for an administrative review next year, and getting to know the new personnel. They tried new ways of doing things — Mrs. Blackwell got to know her new word processor; Mrs. Foster tried new plans for improving conduct at pep rallies and assemblies; Mr. Justis tried to establish an ACE 1.

The work for the office people did not end at 3:16. Teachers called Mrs. Blackwell at home to report in sick and ask for substitutes. Mr. Foster or Mr. Justis had to be at every after- school activity. Mr. Foster took schedules of activities home to prepare. The secretaries said the work took longer to finish each year. What will it be like in 50 more years? ie 6m £ ‘Me 4 TTL ee Many New Faces As usual the 1985-86 school year saw many new faces appear. The English Department gained four new members. Members of the Spe- cial Education Department were amost entirely new; the Social Studies Department gained new teachers — almost everywhere new faces re- placed the old. Change is often good but some students com- mented that losing familiar teachers was some- times hard to get used to. Yet some teachers, such as Mrs. Mary Allen manage to remain year after year. Mary Allen Barbara Atkins Carol Barker Ralph Beverly Mary Bright Jimmie Cumbie Robert Danford 1. Miss Martin and Jackie Bryan rehearse a play part. 2. Miss Southall is surprised at the test grades from her Spanish class. 3. Mrs. McCellan is in deep thought about her English class. 4. Miss Bright monitors students during first lunch. 5. Miss Banks checks over students’ papers. 6. Mr. Martin is talking to students about the computer. id ae 2 39 Teach Me The main objective for 1985-86 was to teach. The English and Math Departments offered spe- cial sessions and individual help for those stu- dents who needed to take the competency test. Teachers were assessing student performance on basic skills to become more effective teachers. Vocational teachers taught night classes to in- volve members of the community in education. As one teacher said, “The Cumberland faculty believes in progressive teaching.” Dean Farmer Garry Ferris William Flippen Marian Hawkins Lisa Hill Elizabeth Jamerson Barbara Johnson David Lawhon John Martin Theresa Martin Mary Marshall Ms. Matthews David Meinhard Mary Miller 1.

Mrs. Wiggins shows how much she enjoys her lunch. 5. Miss Ratay takes time out from her band class to talk to a student. 41 Good, Better, Best? What was the worst thing about teaching in 1985- 86? Answers varied. For some, it was the low pay. For others, it was lack of a stationary teaching sta- tion. But for quite a few, it was the paperwork. Not | only did teachers have to type tests and grade pa- pers, they had to fill out absentee reports, SOL as- sessment folders, permanent records, report cards, interim reports, and countless other reports on al- most anything. They had to prepare committee re- ports, requests for field trips, room repair lists, and lists of supplies. Sometimes the lists of things to write or report on seemed endless.

Many of the staff members, incuding manager Ms. Sallie Hatcher, have been here long enough to be super efficient. They did add one new staff member this year, Mrs. Ophelia Foster. Other members of the cafeteria staff are Mrs. Stella Bryant, Mrs. Mary Pipjunge, Miss Wendy Goff, Ms. Phyllis Hallik, Ms. Eva Langhorne, and manager, Ms. Sallie Hatcher. 1.

Sparkling Clean The Custodians are the ones responsible for giving Cumberland High its sparkle. The Custodians at Cumberland High School this year worked very patiently with the heat and plumbing. They fixed locks on doors, replaced broken windows, and shined the floors. Mr. Carl Brown stops to rest after a long day of work. 43 44 PY da On the Road Again The Cumberland County school bus drivers had a very difficult job according to Mrs. Hatcher. She said, “The hardest thing there is to driving a bus is keeping the kids in order and making them stay in their seat.” On the average school bus drivers drive about 8 to 10 thousand miles every year, including their regular route and all the trips they drive on. 1. Agnes Roue waits patiently as she picks up the Cumberland High School stu- dents. 2. Mrs. Hatcher and Mrs. Vaughan receive an award for the bus drivers of the year from Mrs. Scales. 3.

They may get a job. They may join the armed forces. Their choices are limited only by their desire, education, and drive. But will they remember? Perhaps they’ll remember a trip to Florida. Maybe they will remember favorite teachers or dreaded classes. It might be graduation that is remembered. And Seniors are only Seniors once. Seniors are eating lunch with Seniors. 45 Eugene James, one of the most outstanding seniors, falls asleep on the job. 46 Lost in the Midst of Excitement The seniors of ’86 live through a confused life of term papers, paying for all the essentials of graduation, and selling candy and raffle tickets to have the money to go on the class trip and other recreations. A group of seniors said, “We are all happy to finally be graduating so we can settle down and rest. We are also scared to death at what will happen when all the excitement is over.” —_ Rebecca Leigh Anderson Softball, Class Officer (Secre- tary), S.C.A. (Treasurer 10-12), FB.L.A.

Their reactions were quite different, but also unified in many ways. When conversing, “excited,” “relieved,” “tired,” “happy,” “party,” “work,” “summer,” “college,” and “the armed forces” came up in their discus- sions. The main activities that everyone was talking about was “Graduation,” “prom,” “class trip,” and “class night.” How did the expressions change when all the glory was gone? 29 66 Sheila Marie Brown V.

They filled out unlimited forms, wrote many letters of application, and learned to write correct resumes. According to senior Dana Collins, “It’s tough getting jobs and accepted to colleges, but it’s worth it for our futures.” 1. Eugene James spreads magic dust for the Senior Dance. 2.

They left on April 2, 1986 and returned on April 6, 1986. The bus ride was long but most found something to do, such as singing songs or telling jokes. This was the first time for many seniors at Disney World. Ac- cording to Robert Banton, Disney World was Awesome, fun-filled, and totally “Chilly.” Most of the seniors also enjoyed Wet and Wild. The seniors also went to the beach and had several other sightseeing expeditions. 1. Russel Lawerson, the video technician, films the basketball games. 2.

This test covered areas of general historic knowledge, such as where the first atomic bomb was dropped and who was President during World War II. Fifty years from now, what events of importance will seniors recall from 1985-86? They may remember that Ronald Regan was President, that the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded with seven astronauts on board, and that the United States retaliated with military actions against Libya.

Others were headed for the Marines or Army. Many of them just wanted to work for a while and decide what they wanted, or would be busy marrying their boy girl friends. A couple of seniors replied, “I'll be getting out of summer school in the fall and then who knows what I'll be doing, partying I guess.” 1. Naweed Stwodah shows his true identity to all of CHS.

Both the Bacc. and Commencement excercise were held at Jarman Auditorium at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia. The Bacc. speaker was Dr. Steven Teague and the Commencement speaker was Dr. Carol Hollins. The exercises were held on Sunday, June 8, 1986. The boys wore royal blue gowns and the girls wore light blue. Sponsors were hoping that this would become a tradition and that all future classes would graduate in these colors.

Fifty years ago styles looked nothing like today styles. Fifty years ago women were wearing elegant suits with straight skirts and padded shoulders. Histo- ry does repeat itself in that the padded shoulders are back. Seniors also appeared in stirrup stretch pants brought back from the fifty’s and large beads popular in many past eras. New items such as flowered jeans appeared for the first time. The question is, will any styles of 1986 be repeated in 2036? Only a future Senior Class will be able to tell. 1. Best Dressed is Woodrow Simms and Becky Anderson. 2. Most Athletic is Keith Bolden and Shelia Brown. 3. Best Personality is David Giles and Amy Gregory. 4. Most Likely to Succeed is Michael Turner and Amy Gregory. 5. A new arriving student to the Senior Class is Steve Umbaugh. 6. Lori Wood falls asleep on the job. 7.

They worked hard to raise money to give the best prom at Cumberland and it will also go towards their senior class trip to Bermuda. Not only did they work to earn money, but they worked to improve scholastically also. For example, many tried out for the new Ace team at Cumberland and many of them were chosen to participate. For sure the Juniors have made a lot of progress this year. ROW 1: Joyce Holman, Tammie McAbee, Syni Jackson.

The Juniors worked really hard to earn mon- ey so they could provide the seniors with a nice prom. Their progress was slow until they start- ed selling barbequed chicken, having bake sales, car washes and giving the Thanksgiving Dance. These projects required much time and effort but the juniors managed to have fun while working together on these fund raisers: for example, at the car wash they dumped water on each other and at the barbequed chicken sale they would occasionally “borrow” a piece of chicken. The money earned will also be used toward their class trip next year. Anita Smith Charles Smith Betty Stacy Homa Stwodah Zaki Stwodah Lisa Sullivan 5.

By taking practice SRA tests and PSAT’s, the group hoped to progress Cumberland’s standing in Virginia test scores. Of the Juniors asked, most felt they did well. Betty Stacy and Tina Lucy mentioned “How could we miss with people like Rebecca Carwile and Billy Ny- gaard on our side!” It’s true brilliance is on your side. 1.

Making it to the 11th grade was not always easy, but for the majority of the students that made progress as the years went on they are counting the days until they will be seniors. Most managed to enjoy being Juniors along the way. They had fun electing class officers and serving as ushers for the graduation. Two Juniors were also elect- ed to attend the Boys and Girls State. Some juniors even performed extra school activities such as the new Ace Team and working as aides for teachers. Most Juniors said that, “this has been a fun year, but next year is going to be better.” 1. After cheering practice Suzanne Moore attempts to do her history home- work. 2.

Terry and Dana seem to be more interested in the photographer then their band instructor. Though Terry and Dana are out of line, the stride of the C.H.S. Band continues to flow. Cumberland High School Band members Terry MacAbee on saxaphone and Dana Woodson on the clarinet, are looking forward to another year with the C.H.S. band. 69 Rising in the World Just two more years to go before becoming Seniors. But the sophomores have a “big” and “exciting” year as Sophomores. They looked forward to getting their licenses for the first time and the enjoyment of ordering their class rings for the first time also. Now they plan for next year when they will be able to get jobs and make their own money. 1. Pamela Latham glares at the camera for intruding on her moment of privacy. 2.

Yet some sophomores have decided opinions. Ac- cording to Traci Giles, Spanish was best because she enjoyed learning a foreign language.

The ninth grad- ers are reaching new heights and facing greater challenges. The fresh- men are gaining respect and earning privileges that they are entitled to. At least, that’s what one 9th grader said. Ronnie Cassel is a freshman and also a competitor in the “Feed your Face” contest.

Ms. Tillerson felt that the 9th graders showed a lack of interest in their classes. She stated that hopefully within a few years they will mature, and show some enthusi- asm and participate in some activities. She said she would wait for the progress. 1. Cameron Banton looks surprised. “Gee Wiz, was the test today?” 2.

Over- all their outlook for 1985-86 was high. Angela Crump felt that her 9th grade class was very intelligent. Shar- on Thornton said, “They’re good students that have set their sights on high goals and have the ability to achieve their goals.” 1. Bernard Reed, Monica Woodson, and Valerie Braxton appear to be happy as they board the bus to go home. 2. Jay Sanne and Teresa Overstreet can’t believe they’re finally in the Duke yearbook. All For One “New, new, everything new” could have been the motto of the 1986-87 Freshmen. They finally got a new name — Freshmen. They got new English teachers — Ms. Martin and Ms. Facchine, both new to the county; a new science teacher — Mrs. Stone, also new to the county; a new math teacher — Mrs. McLaughlin. And they had two new football coaches for the J.V. team — Mr. Hess and Mr. Stone. 1. Charlie Spillman is cool as a cucumber. 2.

Yet, according to one Rookie, they were all determined to get to the top. According to their gym coach, Ms. Tillerson, the group was very athletic, even though they were usually small in stature. She also said that about 79% of them were working very hard and that the number might increase as they progress. 1. Angie Layne talks on the phone while Charlotte Browning waits for her turn. 2.

How did they do this? Many 8th graders exceed at rapping, and were often heard in the halls. Some “dressed to im- press.” A few, such as Jeremy Kirstein, even tried to get some good grades. 1.

It is run by the Occupational Child Care Classes I Il under the teaching and guidance of Mrs. Meinhard. The “Teens” are being trained to work in day care and if the two year program is completed they will be qualified to work as an aide in a day care center. The “Tots” are learning and devel- oping. Each day brings opportunities for them to play, learn and express their thoughts. They have 12 full time tots and 19 part time. The center is open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day. 1. Mrs. Price helps Scott Owen to color in his coloring book. 2.

The program was set up to start these young children to learn at an early age what participation was all about. Some of the things they learned were to identify their colors, how to write and say their numbers and ABC’s, to know their left from their right, and how to share and how to follow directions. 1. Tara Williams and Cynthia Thortan worked hard at teaching the young children how to eat properly. 2. Scott Owen thought about whether or not he should go down the slide. 3.

This building has now been standing for SO years. During those 50 years, the surroundings changed. Sidewalks were added. Buildings grew up all around it. Trees were cut down in the front lawn. Still the old building remained, putting out yearbook after yearbook. And during those years, loyal advertisers kept supporting the yearbook. A look at a yearbook from 1940 and a look at the present Duke will show some of the same advertisers. The staff of the Duke said that all the members hoped that 50 years from now the Duke will still be in production and the same patrons would be advertising in it. 91 FAS MART CONVENIENCE STORES P.O.

Books have been taken up. Teachers have gone. The Prom is over. What will the new year bring? It could be new Seniors, new classes, new teachers and new memories. 1. The Cumberland Public Library has a new site. 2. Billy Nygaard and Julie Hunt follow the road to paradise. 3. Cumberland High School students show plenty of smiles and hands. 4. Tonya Smith and Michelle Lipcomb share a lunch. 5. Lisa Brodie is tired of working. 6. Lillie Jones waits for ice cream customers in the cafeteria. We Were Here During 1985-86, 593 students were enrolled at CHS. Many found interesting ways to leave their mark. Some left graffitti on the bath- room walls. Some went out for sports. Some attended dances and other social events. Oth- ers became scholars or leaders or teachers’ aides. The way that students found to become unique individuals were varied. But often “making a mark” meant being part of a group. It meant wearing oversize shirts and beads and untied Adidas tennis shoes and two-tone jeans. It meant short hair- cuts and doing the dog. It meant listening to Lionel Richie and eating Gummy Bears. It meant rapping and imitating Fat Boys. It meant watching “Putting on the Hits” and go- ing to Oscar’s. Perhaps 50 years from now, the marks will remain. 1. Eugene James shows Coach Ferris how to use his head in baseball. 2. Fans stand around during halftime at the football field. 3. Kevin Childress prepares to pass the ball. 4. Students enjoy themselves at one of the “victory” dances after a football game. 5. Mrs. Dorothy Brown and her grandson watch one of the CHS football games. 102 6. A massive pileup results in the Dukes on top. 7. The library aides are Syni Jackson, Woodrow Simms, Lisa Sullivan, Chris Ross, Paul Johnson, William Hurt. 8. Keshia Brown, Robbie Banton, and Traci Giles socialize in the band room, waiting for group pictures to be taken. 9. Waylon Griffith sleeps in study hall. 104 Golden Anniversary The Golden Anniversary of the Old High School building came and went. The building that once housed all grade levels and the library and auditorium still stands. The build- ing saw some repairs this year — new shades for some rooms, new windows in others. By the end of the year, the auditorium no longer existed — it was in the process of being turned into offices for the principal, assistant principal, guidance person- nel, and secretaries. The changes came but the building stayed. One faculty member hoped the building would be here in 50 years be- cause “it has character.” 1. Mary Edmonds is the winner of the Junior raffle of a VCR. 2. Arlene Wade, Amy Brown and Towanna Trent have a ball at the game. 3. Special Olympic Team: Ronnie Cassal, Kevin Richards, Wayne Allen, Sherman Carter, James Brooks. 4. Laura Vance Burton can’t wait for the next lunch. 5. The locker room is clean for a change. 6. Free Fare in concert at the Gym. 7. CHS Cheerleader Nicole McAbee in action at the pep rally. 8. Mrs. Taylor types the daily announcements. 9 Sideline coaches always know best. i vig igs Wy) ‘ as . koe ; ) Po) a in Let ® we 7 % WS Paice i Ls ive i ; 4 ie ke Ne a
