BAK- ER, HEATHER PATTERSON, TRACY RUSSELL AND JOHN BRYSON) This year the Kings Mountain Middle School has come up with a new concept called "Discovery." Students and teachers spend 30 minutes each day getting to know each other and themselves better. The hope is that with increased un- derstanding on both sides (students and teachers) that many conflicts can be avoided before problems arise. Mrs. Beulah Carroll is the 8th grade counselor. "Last year we had (only a few minutes for homeroom. Now, with Discovery the students have longer with the teacher, and they get to know each other better." The eight grade has three teams with 4 to 6 classes in each team. LE The seventh grade counselor is 5=Mrs. Melanie Ballard. "All this is “new to everyone here, but it has been tested in other schools, and self-esteem has risen greatly. This concept has been especially de- signed for each grade since each grade has different concerns." The 6th grade Discovery is a lit- tle different from the 7th or the 8th. It is made up of 9 teams which consist of 2 classes each. The 6th grade will also be using the "Quest" Program. The Quest Program includes activities dealing with study skills, decision-, making skills, and communication skills. Mrs. Laurie Whitesides, the 6th grade counselor, added, "Discovery is just as important to school life as academics and labs." Another part of the Discovery time will be "Intramurals." The stu- dents are very excited about the in- tramurals beginning this week. The different Discovery teams will be competing against each other. A few of the activities the students will be participating in are kick- ball, badminton, shuffleboard, whiffleball, chinese checkers, and many more. The main purpose of the intra- murals is to provide activities for students to learn cooperation. The emphasis will be on participation and sportsmanship rather than on winning or losing. The intramural staff-David Heffner, Audrey Harris, and Candy Albergine-have put a lot of effort into setting this program up. It is sure to be fun and an important part of the new middle school.

He is the son of Howard and Ruth King of New Jersey. "I got out the atlas and looked for a town in North Carolina with my name. We found Kings Mountain on the atlas and got in the car and headed south," he said of the couple's decision to be married here.

Church organist Shirley Austin was playing in a golf tournament. Marion Thomasson provided the altar flowers and the couple ex- changed their vows just before the noon hour in the simple ceremony they both wanted. "I could really dance down the aisles," exclaimed the bride, who wore white ballet slippers with a white skirt and blouse and carried a spring bouquet she had stopped at Allen's Florist to buy just minutes before the ceremony. : After a trip through the Blue Ridge Parkway, the newlyweds will re- turn to Jersey City, where the bride is choreographing the musical," They're Playing Our Song" and the bridegroom is set designer.
