Mre. McClellands Ed &SE.T Past Staff Writer , In honor of our Btadr Hiatory edition, we salute achteveis in the Charlotte •re* who know what it tafeta to be the beet in their varied prnfi—Imu Mrs. Eva McClelland is one of our many achievers. McCWland, 3T, original ly from Lancaster, S.C., has been a teacher for is years. She is presently em J*°yed at Statesville Road Elementary School (four yeard) with the Resource Class (Educable Men tally Hapdteapped-Learn h)g Disabled) and grades E-6.

It took her two and one-half years to complete the 40 boms of work on her Mas ter*, stnd she graduated with all A’s. ‘T was young and proud when I got my eipi^tbgree, but obtain tag my Masters while I A # O 'A Mrs. Eva McClelland . ....“Teacher of the Year” away from my family at times, but I had my fa mily’s support. My mother and sisters really pitched in,” beamed McClelland. Ibe other achievement she is proud of la that her , immediate family has literally stayed together during the years. All of them, except her brothers, Roral£ Laney of Durb-ir, N.C., and James Brown m Washington, D.C., live on Capps Hill Mine Road in Chariotte. On the average at the schools at which she taught, McClelland doesn’t think the number of blacks in education has increased from 20 years ago, es pecially in administrative jwsitions. The system is large and has a lot of good people out there, but the good people (mostly blacks) are overlooked. I don’t think a lot of educa tors are dedicated in what they’re doing-they’re Just taking the position. We need to go into the churches and families and tell them that they need to see what’s £o*ng on in the schools. I i*-«p the communication open between the parents and myself and invite them at anytime to see the type of things we do. Parents have the right to call me and tell me what I might need to do to help more,” she emphasized.' On the whole McClelland believes that blacks are fairing all right as educa- I arjy 12 Noon Super Early 3 p.m. I Florence, South Carolina Home Of II SAT FEB- 4th D *500,000°° I 9 - *5,000 GAMES M\ I 9 - $|Q.00Q games hi || JACKPOT game jackpot game |>| II *15,000°° *40,000°° L«3»is . $2000°° EARLY h| GAMES I 1 PACK |S« 2 PACKS $75 4 PACKS |1M gpOfl I] SUPER SAVER SUPER SAVER Hi 3 PACKS IS 93000 EARLY GAME8 Ell • PACKS 20 REGULAR GAME8 SIS* I MASTERCARD VISA ACCEPTED_ LJ I FOR INFORMATION BUS SERVICE PHONE | I 0*0 991W9I HWY.MIN.

We need to think more about the children and not ■bout the conveniences for ourselves. It’s easy in a big system to get lost in paper work. When you speak out you’re not trying to be a radical, but you’re being yourself,” she pointed out. Black History Month is important to McClelland and the students in her Resource Class at States ville. During the Gunn Arts Program, they will be working in units to feature black historians who con tributed to black history. She knows that “adults need to be educated about black history as well as children. We should go back to the slavery Deriod when we discuss black, history so. that we can understand all people. We should be honest and not hide anything.” The daughter of the late R. B. Laney and Maggie Laney has three sisters Maggie D. Laney, Mrs. Robbie Grissom and Betty Laney; and three brothers Edsel Laney, Ronald Laney and James Brown. She and Belgie have one son, Belgie, II, 7, and at tend C. N.

McClelland is a 1965 graduate of Torrence Lytle High School, Hunt ersville, N.C., and she at tended Winston-Salem State University for one semester. She received a B.A. degree in Elementary Education from Johnson C. Smith University in 1969 and completed studies at Applachian State Univer sity during 1973-74. Eva McClelland conclud ed, “I’m 37 years old and come from a three-room school with pot belly stoves, outdoor toilets, old milk boxes, a water pump and no cafeteria. We have a lot of resources now, more than we’ve ever had, that we can pull from in schools. When we take a look and see that we’re having such big problems in education, I wonder if we really don’t need to get back to some basics (com passion, understanding and motivation). Motivation was such that I had a desire to achieve. These weren’t academic things, but I strongly believe in them. I think these are things which could carry us in not only the field gaps of Hu man Relations but in filling the gaps we can’t seem to find answers to in educa tion. I know there’s not a magic formula, but if we could reach one kid out of five, we would really have accomplished something.’’ The more you buy from Charlotte Post ad vertisers, the more jobs . you create at The Post and with our advertis ers.
