Joshua Foster, son of Candy Slaton, welded his own work-out bench under the guidance of his mentor and welding teacher Ed Herndon. He said that it took him about 25 hours to complete the bench, which he wasn’t afraid to sit on. He used the TIG welding method to complete the bench. After high school, Foster said that he plans to pursue a welding career. After his presentation Wednesday night, he put on a black cap and gown and headed off to Cleveland Community Col- lege. There, he crossed the stage with other graduates to accept a diploma for completing 15 hours of col- lege credit - all completed in Herndon’s class at Kings Mountain High School. TJ Crawford used the product part of his senior project to build his mother a gazebo. He said that he spent two weeks building the gazebo with the guid- ance of his mentor and con- struction teacher Daniel Blanton. “I’ve always been inter- ested in construction,” Crawford said, looking out on his craftsmanship. “And I promised mom I would build her a gazebo a couple of years ago when I started thinking about a senior proj- ect.” When asked what his mother thinks of the fin- ished project, he said, “she loves it.” With a large, proud grin he added that his mother plans to put it out in their front yard and sometime soon he plans to build a bench that will run along the inside. The son of Laura and Ernest Crawford in the Oak Grove community, TJ has: studied carpentry at the high school for three years. After high school, he plans to go to college to get his building contractor’s license. For the gazebo, he said that Buckeye Fire Equip- ment Co., where his father works, gave him some some of the wood they had left over from recent con- struction activity. His grandfather Clyde Craw- Page 5B ford, found the tin for him to use for the gazebo’s roof. Other materials were pur- chased. The lumber for the gazebo has been treated with a redwood stain. The recycled tin roof has been painted green. He installed vents along the roof to keep the gazebo cooler in the summer. Many of the seniors this year at KMHS surprised the judges with their projects. Whether it was building a gazebo, teaching a group of kids how to play ball or helping those in need, the seniors make a difference with their projects. 1.
