¥ JORDAN From Page 1-A nalist level of the competition in order to be considered for some 6,000 merit scholarships worth $25 million. Son of Rev. and Mrs. Morris Jordan, Michael is following his father's footsteps in the music field but, instead of directing church choirs, Michael wants to teach, write and conduct music at the col- ~ lege level. He plans to major in music theory, probably at Furman University in Greenville, and also pursue professionally his writing hobby. Jordan said he has broadened his perspective by attending Kingdom '90 in Orlando, Fla. this summer with ‘young people of First Baptist Church and really enjoyed Presidential Classroom last year in Washington, D.C. where he met ' Senator Jesse Helms and other legislators. He was an ambassador to the Hugh O'Bryan Youth Leadership Seminar at UNCC in April 1989. He sings in the Youth and Adult Choirs at First Baptist Church and is a member of the popular Kings Revue at KMSHS, where he has sung since 9th grade and joined the Chorale this year. He has been a band student since seventh grade. His love of the classics and jazz has been enhanced by his piano training under Dr. George Cribb at Gardner- Webb College, where Jordan completes four years of study in piano this year and will present his senior recital at Gardner- Webb and also at First Baptist Church. Kings Mountain people remember him as Col. Pickering in the high school drama production of "My Fair Lady" and his beautiful bass voice in the bar- bershop quartet in "Music Man." Michael, who says he is just now learning to enjoy jazz as a scientif- ic art, has written several songs and wants to conduct an orchestra, He also likes to write newspaper arti- cles and a recent article was on "Challenges Facing High School Students At The Turn of the Century." In that article, Michael noted that "in this day and age, when some sort of advanced degree is of- ten a prerequisite for any good job, competition for college entrance is stiff. In short, it is difficult to be a high school student in America to- day, and it promises only to get harder. Students in the remainder of this decade will face the chal- lenge of balancing their time be- tween involvement in extra-curric- ular activities and making the grade." Active in a number of on-cam- pus clubs, including Beta Club and Pep Club, Michael also works part- time at Regal Graphics. His father is Minister of Music and Senior Adults at First Baptist Church and his mother, Marjorie, is First Baptist Church secretary. The fam- ily moved to Kings Mountain from Canton in February 1987, where the elder Jordan had served the First Baptist Church there for 17 years. Michael enjoys some ribbing from classmates about his name similarity with athlete Michael Jordan. "No, I'm not that Jordan but I'm a big fan of the Mountaineers," he laughs.

McRae said the system anticipates getting "allotment ad- justments" from the state because MAYOR From Page 4-A you will be asked to break them for other people. I just won't start it. That way nobody can claim "preferential treatment." If people want something done that is right, though, I will bend over backwards for them. I honestly believe that we have a group of Council members making decisions now that are doing the best job ever for this city. I firmly am of the opinion that every vote they make is for the best interests of the cit- izens of this city. Just the other night after our meeting was over one Council member turned to me and said, "I can see that every now and then we have to vote on what is best for this city, don't we?" and my reply to him was,"We are supposed to do that every time, no matter what the issue." I am very proud of the Council that we now have. They have my full support and I know that they have yours. of the enrollment increase. "This is also a sign that our enrollment de- cline of the past several years may be leveling off," he said. *Because of a lack of motion, the proposed policy to lengthen the teacher workday from seven hours, 20 minutes to seven and one-half hours was not approved. *Heard first reading of Policy GAEAC (Drug Free Work Place). It will be brought back to the board for final action at the next meeting. *Heard a report from Bill Hager, Director of School-Community Relations, and Jean Thrift, Director of Pupil Support Services, on State Superintendent Bob Etheridge's statewide plan for parental involve- ment in schools (see Bob McRae's guest column on page 4-A). *Approved the following student transfers: Released Robert E.
