Instructor Robin Burns, left, and student Bonnie Hall work in class at Spectrum Dyed Yarns. The adult high school program at the Kings Mountain plant is offerred by Cleveland Community College. BACK TO SCHOOL Spectrum employees earn high school diploma through CCC Returning to the classroom to complete an education is no easy task. But for Bonnie Hall and her classmates at Spectrum Dyed Yarns, the rewards are immeasur- able. Adult High School classes of- fered by Cleveland Community College are now available on site at Spectrum. Employees and their families can attend any of the three classes which are offered in con- junction with the shifts at the plant. Hall attends class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8 a.m.-12 noon after she finishes her third shift job at Spectrum. "I want to better myself," said Hall. "Everything is run by com- puters now. There are a lot of new machines here and without an edu- cation you won't be able to run them." Classmates Angie and Larry Short agree with Hall that the need to learn more about computers ded them back to high school: The hus- band and wife are working together to complete their dreams.

She explores human attitudes and reac- tions to an abundance of love and wisdom through audience involve- ment. She issues a call to common sense and decency in human rela- tions. Paula gears her performance to her audiences with African- American spirituals, Caribbean and African music, white mountain gospel, rap, jazz, and popular stan- dards. Music functions as a thread throughout the stories. Her use of guitar, conga drums, and banjo in- spires, motivates and clarifies his- torical facts while breaking down stereotypes. Her wide range of emotions is imbued with gentle hu- mor. Paula was the artist in residence at Cleveland Community College several years ago, and is well known and loved in this area. She is looking forward to coming back to North Carolina and renewing friendships. The program will be followed by refreshments served by the youth volunteers and sponsored by Friends of the Library. The library was able to get a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council to partially pay for the one-day resi- dency of Paula Larke. The other part of the cost is paid for by the Friends of the Library. For Hall and Angie Short, re- turning to school was not just a need to help themselves. They both wanted to be able to help their chil- dren more with homework assign- ments. For the students in class, which is taught by Robin Burns, this is a new beginning. The high school program works to meet the needs of the students. Everyone in the class works at their own rate of speed which makes for a’ good learning environment. Hall will soon finish her require- ments for graduation and plans to participate in graduation cere- monies at Cleveland Community College in May. But she doesn't plan on allowing graduation to be the end of her education so soon. "I plan on going back to Cleveland Community College to take the nurses aid course," said Hall.

Additionally, she has encouraged others to go to Cleveland's class at the Kings Mountain Community Center. By returning to the classroom, the students have found a new love for.learning. Almost all of the stu- dents have plans to continue their education in some way following completion of high school, whether it be in the medical field, criminal Justice, or in computer technology. The students are quick to point out that a good part of their success can be attributed to Robin Burns, their teacher. "We've got a real good teacher," said Hall. "She works with us one on one." Both students and teacher de- scribe the classroom atmosphere as family-like. Students and teacher can call on each other for support as friends. "It's been a challenge and I didn't think I could do it coming to class aftepdihlid] shi," said Hall, "But I When it's time to go to alwd¥§%ook forward to ity Thursday, February 1, 1896 - THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD - Page 5B Piano made easy at CCC Cleveland Community College will host the workshop Pop Style Piano Made Easy on February 26 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. The class will be taught by Deborah Belcher, a versatile pianist with over 20 years experience in classical and pop music.
