It was ab- solutely a ‘no no’ for a student to smoke. Dean’s father, Bert Westmoreland, was one of Miss Livingston’s students. “Dad told me that he got caught smoking and the prin- cipal made him dig a six foot deep hole but Dad thought he had the last laugh and got down in the hole and lit up a cigarette. Livingston caught him again and Dad dug a sec- ond hole.” In later years Liv- ingston also taught Dean Westmoreland as a third grader. Livingston was the first certified principal in the state of North Carolina. Said Dean, “There are a lot of stories in this book that will bring back many memo- ries for students who attended any of the Kings Mountain District Schools, including the two-room schools.
