Students To Be Tested
Clayton Ollis Named
Youth Of The Month
The Shelby Exchange Club at
its meeting last week honored
Clayton Ollis, a senior at Kings
Mountain High School, as its
Youth of the Month. Clayton
was selected for this honor not
only because of his outstanding
scholarship record, but because
of his extra-curricular school and
community activities. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ollis
of Rhodes Ave., Kings Moun-
tain.
At Kings Mountain High
School Clayton is Vice President
of the senior class, as well as be-
ing a member of the National
Honor Society, the Beta Club,
the student council, and the
Drama Club. He is very active in
his church, the Second Baptist
Church, serving as youth presi-
dent, as youth department song
leader, and as a member of the
youth and adult choirs.
Ollis plans to attend Mars Hill
College, majoring in religious
music, in hopes of ultimately ap-
plying his abilities as a church
music director.
The Shelby Exchange Club
honors eight Youths of the
Month during the school year,
selecting two seniors from each
high in Cleveland County. At
the end of the year the club
selects one of these eight as
Youth of the Year, to whom it
awards a scholarship. That per-

Loans Available
High school seniors in Kings
Mountain need not rule out col-
leges in the fall if money is the
only problem. Students with a
good academic record who plan
to teach in a specific course shor-
tage area may apply for a
scholarship loan from the State
Department of Public Instruc-
tion’s Prospective Teacher
Scholarship Loan Fund.
The teaching shortage: areas
include math, physics,
chemistry, agriculture, excep-
tional children, and vocational
education.
Awards for the program are in
the amount of $1500 per
academic year and are limited to
undergraduate study. A reci-
pient may participate in the pro-
gram a maximum of four years.
Last year, the department
awarded 135 new scholarship
loans for the current school year.
Since 1957, about 11,578 high
school seniors and other
undergraduate students in-
. terested in entering the public
schools as certified teachers have
received financial assistance.
A recipient has seven years to
repay the loan through teaching
in the public schools or a federal
school located in North
Carolina. One year of the loan is
repaid for each year taught. If a
recipient does not repay the loan
by teaching, he/she must repay
the principal of the loan plus in-
terest. Because of the shortage of
teaching jobs and other factors,
prospective teaches have been
given an extension on the time
Kings Mountain public
schools continue to check the
progress of their students in
math, reading and language arts
through state achievement tests
administered each Spring.
More than 400,000 students
in grades one, two, three, six and
nine throughout North Carolina
will be tested this year in late
March and early April.
Achievement tests are given in
reading and math in grades one
and two. Students in grades
three, six and nine are tested in
language arts as well as reading
and math.
The test is designed to
measure how well a student is
performing in skills and
knowledge emphasized at the
student’s grade level. Teachers
each
student’s learning strengths and
difficulties and compare the per-
formance of various groups of
students.
The latest testing results in
June of 1982 revealed that, for
the second consecutive time
since its inception in 1978,
North Carolina’s elementary and
secondary students scored above
the national average in all grade
levels on the state’s annual
testing program.
North Carolina’s students sur-
passed the national norm in all
grade levels for the first time in
the Spring of 1981. Between the
Spring of 1981 and the Spring of
1982, the average student in
North Carolina improved in per-
formance in all tested areas. Im-
provement averaged a full school
month over last year. Compared
