KM native Bud Mayes Renaissance Club growing at KMHS
earns teaching award
Dewey S. "Bud" Mayes, for-
merly of Kings Mountain and
an instructor at Wilkes
Community College in North
Wilkesboro, was honored re-
cently with the Wilkes
Community College Excellence
in Teaching award, a joint pro-
ject of the college and the WCC
Endowment Corporation.
Mayes was also selected as a
semifinalist in the State Board
of Community Colleges'/First
Union Foundation Excellence in
Teaching Award.
Mayes is an instructor in
three classes of Western
Civilization as well as drama,
study skills and history courses.
He is the son of Mrs. H. Carl
Mayes of Davidson, formerly of
Kings Mountain, and the late
Mr. Mayes and is a graduate of
Appalachian State University
with bachelor and master's de-
grees. He and his wife, Rebecca,
have one son Sean Mayes, of
Bradenton, Fla. He has one sis-
ter, Ann Mayes Ware of
Concord, formerly of Kings
Mountain.
Mayes" sister describes her
brother as " dynamic in the
classroom." She says his stu-
dents sit in rapt attention as
Mayes, in his unique lecture
style, brings other cultures and
historical events to life for them
with his powers of description
and dramatic presentation.
"Bud says that in all his years
of teaching he is repeatedly sur-
prised by how much students
of all ages still enjoy a good sto-
ry," said Ware.
Mayes, whose teaching career
spans 30 years, was instrumen-
tal in the original development
BUD MAYES
of the associate in arts and the
associate in fine arts college
transfer curricula.
Teaching loads of 24 credit
hours or more with upwards of
150 students in the last two
years have not stopped him
from also developing and im-
plementing four new history
courses, directing a play, de-
signing scts for another play
and teaching Western
Civilization three days a week
at Ashe Central High School.
His involvement in college
theater has led to drama-relat-
ed projects such as authoring an
historical drama, the founding
of a children's theater and the
development of the Walker
Center children's series in
which every child in every
grade in Wilkes County has a
chance to see at least one show
or concert cach year.
Buddy Freeman to join staff
at North Greenville College
Rev. Charles W. "Buddy"
Freeman, a Kings Mountain na-
tive and dean of admissions
and financial planning at
Gardner-Webb University, has
announced that he will join
North Greenville College on
bruary 27 as that school's ex-
eeutive director of admissions
and financial planning. The
new post is the equivalent of a
vice president's position and
Freeman will sit on the presi-
dent's council there.
A 1962 graduate of Gardner-
Webb, Freeman has served the
university for 22 years, first as
campus minister, then as associ-
ate director of admissions for
church relations, and finally as
dean of admissions and finan-
cial planning, a position he was
appointed to two years ago.
During his time as dean, he has
had a significant role in
Gardner-Webb's overall enroll-
ment increasing nearly 20 per-
cent, up to 2,648 currently, an
all-time time for spring enroll-
ment and the second highest to-
tal ever for an overall Gardner-
Webb enrollment.
"This is a promotion for me,"
Freeman explained. "It's an op-
portunity to join another fine
Christian institution that's in an
exciting growth phase. But I'm
not going there to fix something
that's broke - North Greenville
is on the rise and it will be re-
warding to be a part of that."
He cited North Greenville's
recent transition from a junior
- college to a four-year institu-
tion, its growing enrollment
that has now topped 900, and
the construction of two new
dormitories as evidence of the
school's progression and com-
mitment to growth.
"Anything to do with stu-
dents - Christian students,
REV. BUDDY FREEMAN
bright students, students who
want to learn and grow and bet-
ter themselves - 1 simply love
being a part of that," Freeman
said. "That's the atmosphere
here at Gardner-Webb, and
that's the atmosphere at North
Greenville. It's what I want to
be a part of."
While Freeman has held sev-
eral positions within the institu-
tion, his impact was felt outside
of campus as well. A popular
after-dinner speaker who has
produced two tapes, he was of-
ten sought to lead prayer re-
treats, organize singing and
preaching efforts, and to direct
efforts that would assist minis-
terial students who needed
funds to pursue careers in the
ministry. He even co-organized
with the late Dr. J. ar
Lewis the formation of the [©
Christian Service eee |
at GWU, which specifically rais- ||
es money to help aspiring min-
isterial students.

The Renaissance Club, an
academic award club at Kings
Mountain High School, will
hold an awards ceremony
Thursday, Feb. 20 at 1:15 p.m. in
Barnes Auditorium.
The assembly will honor the
new recipients of the Gold,
Silver and Bronze awards that
KMHS students earned last
term. As special guests, the en-
tire ninth grade is invited to at-
tend the ceremonies to acquaint
them with the program.
Bill Sherwood, owner of
McDonalds in Kings Mountain,
will be the guest speaker and
will present a motivational
speech about setting goals.
Students receiving the new
cards have met the criteria dur-
ing the fall semester and many
have already met goals of their
own.
The criteria for this year's
awards remain the same as last
year. To receive a Gold Card, a
student must have a 4.0 GPA
and cight or less absences per
term. To receive a Silver Card, a
student must have a 3.5 GPA
and eight or less absences per
term. To receive a Bronze Card,
a student must have improved
his or her GPA by .5 and have
eight or less absences per term.
The criteria was met by a to-
tal of 329 students which is an
increase from last term's 306
card holders. The largest in-
crease was in Gold Card hold-
ers, which increased by 34 per-
cent.
Gold Card holders are enti-
tled to exempt all exams except
state End-of-Course exams, and
they receive a free parking pass.
In addition, they are admitted
free to all athletic and school
events.
Silver and Bronze card hold-
ers receive coupons entitling
them to free admission to select-
ed athletic events and free
homework "redo" passes. The
Silver Card holders can exempt
two academic exams as long as
they are in good standing, and
Bronze Card holders can ex-
empt one exam in a subject
where they have good standing.
"The recent increase in card
holders supports the idea that
the Renaissance Club is a moti-
| vation for students to work to-
ward better grades and better’
attendance," said Media
Specialist Gay G. Henderson.
A committee of representa-
tives from KMHS faculty, stu-
dents and parents recently at-
tended a Renaissance
Conference at Sun Valley High
School in Monroe. Media spe-
cialist Gay Henderson, art in-
structor Sherri Bingham, princi-
pal Phil Weathers, and parent
Priscilla Mauney accompanied
students Katy Rountree and
Monisone Phanthalack to Sun
Valley to hear how other
schools handle the Renaissance
program. The program includ-
ed an academic pep rally.
"The committee was en-
thused by the things that they
learned about the success of the
program,” Ms. Henderson said.
"Those of us who have been in-
volved at Kings Mountain High
from the outset of the
Renaissance Club look forward
to its growing success as we im-
plement the new ideas suited to
our student body. We are proud
to congratulate each new card
holder and wish them contin-
ued achievement in the future.”
