Kings Moun tain has been a member of the Sou thern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for a number ot years and it is a Immutable fac that its rating i., ,.i danger of being dropped. There are many reasons why Kings Mountain should wish to remain on the accredited list. As it now stands this school is rated as one of the better high schools not only of this state but of all tin states included in the Southern As sociation. Hoys and girls graduating here do not have to take ctjlege entrance examinations to get into college neither are they questioned concerning their education if they hold a Kings Mountain diploma. In tact a diploma from this school means something. If the member ship is lost then the school has no rating outside North Carolina. Pu pils will no longer have the privilege of entering the college of their choi ce wTChout an examination. WHY THE RATING IS TO BE LOST The reason we are to suffer the loss of iur rating is because we are short fifteen days in our school term. Article four o* the member ship requirements states one hund red dnd seventy five days as the minimum for a member school. That is just fifteen days longer than ourj school term. On all other points Kings Mountain comes up to the requirements.
