Students Learn Non-Traditional Skills
For the third year, Kings Mountain
Senior High School has been in-
volved in a grant which promotes
sex equity and high technology ca-
reers. This program is devised to
inform students about the techno-
logical careers that are available to
them and to encourage students to
go into careers and seek jobs that
are non- traditional.
Since most women will work at
home at some point in their lives
and in many instances will be the
head of the household, it is impera-
tive that they learn and become
skilled in careers which were once
considered non- traditional. It is es-
timated that four out of five wom-,
en will hold jobs sometime within
the 1990's. These women will need
to work in highly skilled areas in
Cleveland County Head Start
The Cleveland County Head
Start program held a special county-
wide graduation program Fri., June

graduates from eight county ele-
mentary schools joined together for
the ceremonies in honor of the pro-
gram's 25th anniversary. Each grad-
uate was presented a certificate of
program completion by Patti
Norman, director.
Rev. D.A. Costner gave the invo-
cation. Mrs. Carl Dockery reviewed
highlights of the program in

Vincent Walker, rising senior at
Kings Mountain Senior High
School and son of Clinton and
Linda Walker, has been selected to
attend a one-week Ambassador
Academy for outstanding students
in vocational education June 24-29
at Keenan Institute of Private
Enterprise at UNC Chapel Hill.
The academy will feature en-
order to make the salary to take
care of their family.
The program provides speakers
from non- traditional carcer areas
to speak to vocational classes in or-
der to allow students to hear and
see successful women and men in
non- traditional jobs. Also, junior
and senior students attended Career
Day at Cleveland Community
College where they heard non- tra-
ditional speakers.
In addition, career awareness
workshops are held in the class-
rooms and students are shown
films which depict men and wom-
en in non- traditional jobs.
The most exciting part of the pro-
gram was the summer workshop
which was held for two weeks last
summer. Twenty- four girls from
Dockery helped organize the local
program in 1965 as charter mem-
bers of the North Carolina Human
Relations Council. Mr. Dockery
was head of the local coordinating
committee. Rev. Costner and Mrs.
Dockery served on the first Policy
Advisory Committee.
Following musical selections by
the graduates, Mrs. Norman and
Social Services/Parent Involvement
Coordinator Deborah Lee presented
certificates of appreciation for out-
standing volunteers. Ann Griffin
grades nine through twelve partici-
pated in activities such as building
an outside building from the
ground up- - even putting on a
roofing. They also learned about
auto technology, building a robotic
arm, working with laser beams and
other electronic equipment. They
also studied telecommunications.
To demonstrate to the students that
technology is truly in the work-
place, field trips were taken to see
the high technology present in
Kings Mountain. Visit were made
to Kings Mountain Hospital and to
Reliance Electric. They also visited
Winston- Salem to see Hunter
Publishing Company and R. J.
Renolds Company.
This workshop will be repeated
this summer from July 9 - 20.
Plans are for forty or more stu-
dents, both male and female, to
take part. Mrs. Carolyn McWhirter,
Sex Equity co- ordinator states,
"We are taking applications for the
summer workshop and would like
to have students from grades 9- 11
to participate.” Those activities in
which they will participate will be
carpentry technology, telecommu-
nications, electronics, lasers, and
other fields. Counseling sessions
will also be offered in self- esteem,
career awareness, and employabili-
ty skills. Field trips are planned to
such places as a military base. The
workshop is free.

Carolyn McWhirter at Kings
