KMHS Senior Class presents
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
. EMILY WEAVER

Kings Mountain High Schools
senior production of Seven Brides
for Seven Brothers was held
recently at Barnes Auditorium.
For the seniors, this was their
curtain call - their last time act-
ing together under the KMHS
lights. For Director Dan
Treharne, whom the students
lovingly refer to as “Mr. T,” the
show was especially significant
because it was his last play with
the students he started teaching
as freshmen.
He joined KMHS four years
ago and to see his thespians from
the beginning of high school to
the beginning of life after high
© school is @streat. “It has been a
~ long .and sometimes: difficult
road, but ultimately it has been a
good one that has left me proud
of them and grateful for the
opportunity to be their teacher
and director,” he wrote in the
program.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,
based on the book by Lawrence
Kasha and David Landay, is a
musical about six brothers “goin’
courtin’” (or kidnapping) six
women from a nearby town to be
their wives. The seventh brother,
Adam Pontipee (Jonathan Davis)
is already hitched to Millie
Pontipee (TiAnna Whitaker),
whose desperate attempts to civ-
ilize and marry off her new in-
laws turns into an exciting mess,
full of music and dancing.
The senior cast includes Will
Fredell (as Benjamin Pontipee),
Adam Pasour (Caleb Pontipee),
Steven Montgomery (Daniel
Pontipee), Kyle Griffin (Ephraim
Pontipee), Andrew Turner
(Gideon = Pontipee), Laura
Hollifield (Alice), Megan
Bradshaw (Dorcas), Jordan
Moore (Liza), Brooke Davis

Yarbro said that one of his
biggest highlights is looking into
the eyes of the graduates and
seeing that sense of accomplish-
ment. For some the accomplish-

ment came easy, but for others it
was hard to obtain. All of his stu-
dents successes mean twice as

Another highlight that he will
miss about commencement and
KMHS is witnessing such great

Money in budget for lighting
of Mountaineer baseball field
MILY WEAVER

There are some changes blow-
ing on the winds around Kings
Mountain High School with the
new Business & Industries
Technologies Building scheduled
to open next Fall and possible
renovations to Lancaster Field.
The current revised budget for
Cleveland County Schools,
which is in place until June 30,
2007, states that $115,326 in the
Capital Outlay Fund has been
appropriated for renovations to
the lighting at the KMHS base-
ball field.
CCS Spokeswoman Donna
Carpenter said that although no
changes have been made to the
field's lighting as of yet, the mat-
ter is being looked into. CCS has
made renovations to Lancaster
Field, replacing the backstop
retaining wall, earlier this year,
at a cost of $1,750.
The new Business and
Industries Technologies (BIT)
Building, across the street’ from
the high school, opens to stu-
dents and faculty this August. It
will house the Welding Shop,
Drafting, five Business Labs, the
Agriculture Shop, Computer
Engineering, two Health
Occupation classrooms and
Construction Technology.
KMHS Architecture teacher
Dan Owens helped design and
facilitate the renovations with
the help of his drafting students.
The final layout comes after
three years of planning and
designing. He said that the let-
ters for the BIT building should
arrive in the next few weeks.
The communication system,
including the phone lines and
intercom, | 'will be | used
Closed-circuit cameras will pro-
vide additional security for the
BIT building. School officials are
deciding whether or not to bus
the students across the street for
class changes or to use a crossing
guard. But Principal John Yarbro
said, “We're going to get those
kids to and from that facility
safely.”
Renovation of the building
was proposed to CCS last year,
in hopes of eliminating a majori-
ty of the 13 mobile units current-
ly taking up parking spaces at
the school. Yarbro said that the
© goal was not to construct a new
building or add-on because
financially, that was not an
option. But renovating the
empty building across the road
was a less-expensive alternative
to handling overcrowding.
“We're about 150 students larger
than we were before, when we
began this process,” he said.
Carpenter said that three of the
mobile units will be moved
across the street to the new
building to house instructional
labs for the Welding,
Construction and Agriculture
shops. The three trailers will free
up some space beside and
behind the school. Some of the
other mobile units will be moved
to other facilities in the district,
freeing up even more space. But
it may take some time to get the
units off of the lot.
Rumors of an additional assis-
tant principal joining the ranks
of KMHS to watch over the new
facility are unfounded.
Carpenter said that there are no
plans to have an extra assistant
at the high school at this time.
But administration will not be
turning a blind eye to the soon-
to-be occupied building. Yarbro
said that administration will
selves,” he added.
Director of Human Resources
Ronnie Wilson and Deputy
Superintendent Dr. Darrin
Hartness talked ‘about the
staffing goals during a recent
school board meeting. According
* to state regulations, there will be
three assistant principals for
each middle and high school in
Cleveland County that has an
attending enrollment of 1,000-
1,499 students. For schools that
have 1,500 or more students, a
fourth assistant principal may be
employed. ;
The current average daily
membership at KMHS is about
1,233 students, with about 300
graduating on Friday and about
375 freshman ready to join the
ranks in August. The school cur-
rently has three assistant princi-
pals.
Due to the regulations, howev-
er, West Elementary will be get-
ting an assistant principal and
East and North elementaries will
be sharing an assistant principal,
who will work part-time at each
school.
Radiography students
receive pins at CCC
Fourteen students in the radi-
ography program at Cleveland
Community College attended a
recent pinning ceremony in their
honor. Only 20 students are
accepted into the highly compet-
itive program each year. Along
with pinning and the lighting of
candles, the students recited the
Radiographer’s Code of Ethics.
