KMHS
Corner
By Rainey Haigler
In writing my last article for the Kings Mountain Herald, I would
like to take this opportunity to thank the people that gave me the
chance to write the Kings Mountain Senior High School Corner each
week during the school year ‘83 - ‘84: Darrell Austin, Gary Stewart,
and the staff at the Kings Mountain Herald; my creative writing
teacher, Mrs. Mary Taylor; my English teacher, Mrs. Angel Teer; my
principal, Ronnie Wilson; and the people of this community that gave
me the encouragement I needed. It has been such a wonderful and
rewarding experience for me and the highlight of my senior year. I will
always cherish the beautiful award I received on Awards Day from the
staff of the Kings Mountain Herald. Thank you all from the bottom of
my heart.
The dedication of the 1984 Yearbook was made on May 29. The
Class of 1984 dedicated the 1984 Milestones to Dean B.
Westmoreland. Westmoreland has thoroughly exhibited to all persons
his dedication to the advancement of education in North Carolina,
whether it was in the classroom, sponsoring of student government ac-
tivities, or in the political arena. He not only teaches current events in
the social studies classroom, but becomes part of the events
themselves. Mr. Westmoreland’s nickname, “Pope”, was acquired
after a trip to see a visiting head of state, Pope John Paul II.
We were fortunate in sharing the short lives of two young men who
were to have graduated with the 1984 Senior Class. In memory of Rod
Lewis and Jeff Woods, are dedicated the 1984 Yearbook to them also.
On April 5, 1981, a tragic fire struck a barn where the two boys were
camping out for the night. Unfortunately our two friends were killed.
As a student at Kings Mountain Junior High, Rod was a member of
the track team and the football team for two years. Jeff was a member
of the football team and played trumpet in the school band. Although
their lives were short, their memories linger on.
Awards Day was held on Thursday, May 31, with many Seniors
winning awards. The Senior Picnic was also held on May 31, with
everyone enjoying the bar-b-que.
On June 1, the Senior Class of 1984 marched down the aisle at John
Gamble Stadium to receive their diplomas and sing their alma mater
together for the last time. It was a very happy and sad day for many of
them. Now they have gone their seperate ways and hope someday to
meet again.
School ended for the remainder of the students at 1:00 p.m. on
Wednesday, June 6. Teachers’ last day will be Monday, June 11.
I wish to apologize for leaving Susie Biggers’ name off National
Honor Society in my last week’s column and any other name. Sorry!
Finally, I want to thank my wonderful mother and stepfather for
helping me throughout the school year. Not only have they helped me
to learn more but become more independent as well.
My columns would not have been typed as well if my mother had
not helped me every week. I love you Mom!

year 1803 as the park’s inter-

ceeding 2.3 miles to S-11-86.

and S-11-86. Tours 7:00 until

ing History program will begin
