Dr. McRae Speaks At CCC Graduation Dr. Robert R. McRae, Jr., super- intendent of the Kings Mountain District Schools, told graduates of Cleveland Community College to"...Use your education to make this a better world." Speaking at CCC's Tuesday night commencement exercises, Dr. McRae challenged the gradu- ates"...to make a difference." Describing a society plagued by various ills such as materialism, greed, abuse and corruption, he ad- vised, "Don't give up on that world. As many problems as we may have, don't give up." Dr. McRae ended his speech by offering common sense rules of be- havior:"...work hard; be honest; help other people; be and example; and don't tolerate injustice, dis- crimination, and indecency." He encouraged the students to make their choices"...be the best they can be." Jean M. Cabaniss, director of re- cruiting and counseling at CCC, gave the invocation for the gradua- tion program. CCC's president, Dr. L. Steve Thornburg, welcomed the families and friends of the gradu- ates and introduced the speaker. Micihala Sisk played the proces- sional and recessional.

All 930 students have been rushing through the new halls trying to get to class on time. "The middle school will be a good experience for all students," said Mrs. Owens, the S.I.LM.S. at- tendance officer. The faculty feels that the school will be improved with more cooperation from the parents. Mrs. Owens added, "If more parents would become more involved with the school it would lead to a more successful school year." KMMS has two principals, two assistant principals, 75 teachers, 52 classrooms, 930 students, 13 cafe- College Planning Meeting Parents of college bound seniors are invited to a college planning meeting to be held on Thursday night, September 6, at 6:30 p.m. in the library of Kings Mountain High School. This meeting will provide par- ents with practical tips for applica- tion processes. In addition, infor- mation about scholarship applications and applying for fi- nancial aid will be discussed.

Jerry Hoyle, co-principal with Mrs. Glenda O'Shields, said he likes the changes in the new mid- dle school because they meet stu- dent needs and replace the unful- filled teacher-parent-student contact. When asked about sharing the principal title, he replied, "Good working is coming out of sharing responsibilities." The two assistant principals are Mrs. Mary Accor and Ed Guy. They have many responsibilities, including discipline for the seventh and sixth grades, respectively. Discovery is a new part of the middle school program. Mrs. Whitesides is in charge of the Discovery program. When asked what Discovery was, she said, "In a nutshell, it is a chance to provide all students with opportunities to improve social skills, communica- tive skills, study skills, and deci- sion-making abilities in a smaller setting and warmer environment. Students can learn more about themselves and others." Mrs. Owens commented, "It's teacher teams working together with students." In Discovery, students partici- pate in activities such as intramu- rals, field trips, group activities, and discussions. Discovery teams are made up of several classes. Each grade level has from 3 to 5 groups. Each group has its own name. More on the Discovery teams will follow next week. Lunch is another big change from Central. There are three dif- ferent lunch lines and three lunch schedules. KMMS has three guidance counselors: Mrs. Carroll, eighth grade; Mrs. Ballard, seventh grade; and Mrs. Whitesides, sixth grade.
