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. Gwen Rogers and escort Tommy Timpton appear at the Homecoming Dance. 3. Glenda Hazlegrove catches the rebound and charges down the court. 4. Lori Wood. 5. Coach Ferris shows his class how ping-pong is really played. 6. Keith Bolden makes a fingertip catch for the first down.

Progress = ? 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.
