HOLLY MELTON
Holly Melton selected
Teacher of the Month
Kings Mountain High
School's Teacher of the Month
for April, Holly Melton, feels
like she's come back home. A
1992 graduate of Kings
Mountain High, Melton at-
tributes her desire to become a
teacher to the good instruction
she had as a student.
"I always wanted to become a
teacher," said Melton. "I grew
up in Kings Mountain and at-
If you think cigarettes are getting expensive, wait until you see the price we're paying for lung cancer. This year,
it'll cost an estimated 160,100 lives in the U.S. The worst part is that most of these deaths are preventable.
Because 90% of all lung cancers are attributed to smoking. That's 90%. Unfortunately, there's something even
more alarming that’s on the rise: teen smoking. And that means we're paying for lung cancer with something 1
that's supposed to be priceless. Our children. To find out more about lung cancer, call The Comprehensive

tended the shoe here. The * i
wonderful teachers that I had
were an inspiration.”
After her graduation from
Kings Mountain High, Melton
attended UNC-Charlotte for _
two years, then went on to
graduate from Appalachian
State in Boone. At Kings :
Mountain High, Melton teaches
exceptional students in grades
nine through twelve.
"My job is a tutorial program
that assists students with their
assignments and prepares them
for state testing," Melton said.
Though she feels right at
home at Kings Mountain High
now, Melton had a bit of trepi-
dation when she first arrived.
"I wasn't sure how I would
feel working with teachers who
I'had been a student under just
a few years ago," Melton re-
called. "I also really wanted an
elementary teaching job instead
of high school."
As Melton's educational ca- -
reer experience blossomed,
those doubts quickly vanished.
"I can't imagine working any-
where else," said Melton. "The
faculty here is so wonderful, I
feel right at home."
During her two years as a
teacher at Kings Mountain
High, Melton has developed a
philosophy about her relation -
ship to her students that seems
to work very well.
"I want to be both a teacher
and friend to my students,"
Melton said. "I think this helps
the students. I try to do my best
for them."

“I don’t think they're treated

After Alexander was captured
by the Germans in France, an
American tank créw liberated
him. The tank was 16 miles
inside the German-lines and
was low on gas. As they were
retreating, they holed up in a
patch of woods, and the next

them and began shelling them.
Before the day was over he was

“I'm going to write it all down.”
That will be one story.
