FOREWORD July, 1961 — A momentous date in the annals of Kings Mountain High School — the year of consolidation — the coming together of the entire township to form a new school district — the joining together of Bethware, Grover, and Kings Moun- tain Schools into one large high school. This consolidation program is the result of several years of planning and negotiations. The results — a larger and better school for all and the anticipation of a new super high school building in the near future. Realizing the long hours, days, and months of hard work which were necessary to effect the merger, “Mile- stones” salutes all the people who helped make this consolidation pos- sible. It is hoped that this merger will inspire the students to take ad- vantage of the new op- portunities offered. The many “firsts,” the new, advanced subjects and ideas that resulted from the combined schools, have given us a better chance of success in future life. Through the combined efforts of the three schools, there is the potenti- ality for a better education for all. The results depended on the willingness of the students to accept this great and important challenge. Through the hard work and good will of all the students this venture has been made successful. Its success has inspired us to produce this — the “Milestones of 1962”. Some of the many happy events of this year have been reconstructed in order that they may again be remembered and enjoyed by all — as this year truly marks a “milestone” in the life of our school that should never be forgotten.

For untiring efforts to make Kings Mountain High School an institution of excellence ; for the versatility of talents and willingness to use these talents to be of service to our school ; we, the MILESTONES staff, are proud to have this opportunity to honor our Co-Sponsor of the yearbook. To show our appreciation, we dedicate this our 1962 MILESTONES to you, Mrs. Carl P. Finger. 9 Mr. H. Harry, Mr. 0. Williams, Mrs. L. McGill, Dr. P. Padgett, Mr. F. Plonk SCHOOL BOARD GOES OVER PLANS FOR CON SO LID A TED HIGH SCHOOL “Master minding” the new consolidated school is the work of the city School Board. These five interested citizens are elected for a period of five years staggering their terms of office. The two new members, Mr. Williams, from the Bethware area, and Mr. Harry, from Grover, were elected from the district. Thanks go to these members for their work in the new program. It was only through their tireless efforts in informing the voters of the school’s needs that the greater Kings Mountain High School was effected. The members are now hard at work planning needed repairs for old buildings and formulating ideas for a new school. We, the “Milestones” staff, salute you for a job well done and have confidence that the proposed school is in capable hands. 10 Mr. B. N. Barnes, Superintendent Our capable Superintendent has been with us for 35 years in which time he has seen our high school grow from an enrollment of 173 to the present 867. Mr. Barnes received his A.B. degree from Wake Forest and his M.A. from UNC. It was under his administra- tion that the present High School was built, after the former school was gutted by fire. It is with pride that he recalls the trials experienced by the school in becoming and remaining a member of the Southern Association of Secondary Schools. His experiences in the Kings Mountain School have been many and varied but he has always found a solu- tion for every problem. When we think of Kings Mountain Schools we think of Mr. Barnes, a man highly respected in his community, hard-working, honest, and as most citizens refer to him, a “dedicated school man.” 12 Mrs. Lail takes dictation from a very busy Mr. Barnes. UPERINTENDENT HEADS ONSOLIDATED SCHOOL Supt. and Mrs. Barnes look over a volume of the “Milestones” with son Kenny, a junior. Mrs. Wanza Y. Davis, secretary to Mr. Barnes, is a graduate of Kings Mountain High School and attended Western Caro- lina College. Wanza is an avid sports fan, has a real interest in the students, and is a friend This year — 1961-1962 — will long be remembered in the history of Kings Mountain High School. The long awaited consolidation program suddenly arr ived on August 28th. The anxiety that existed during the planning stages reached a climax. September days vividly brought to your minds the facts of crowded halls and a crowded lunchroom. You met new classmates, took new subjects, and saw school bus parking lots and assembly seats in the balcony for the first time. Although the main task of formal learning was in the front of your minds, I feel sure that in the back of most of your minds was this thought, “What can I do to help make this vital year a success ?” Soon such statements as “I have never seen school spirit higher”, and “We have more serious study than ever before”, indicated you knew your task and were performing it well. Throughout the year a seriousness of purpose that surpassed other school years pre- vailed. Cooperation, perseverance and intelligent action were your trademarks. I trust they will always be our trademarks so we may continue to rank with the finest high schools in North Carolina. Students at Kings Mountain High School in years to come will long remember and greatly appreciate the high standards of citizenship set by you. I am sure all parents and school patrons of No. 4 township join me in congratulating you on a job well done. Mr. Harry E. Jaynes, Principal Mr. and Mrs. Jaynes at home with their children, Gary, a third grader, and Debbie, a fifth grader. MR. JA YNES COMPLETES THIRD YEAR AS K.M. H. S. PRINCIPAL Although Miss Martha Houser has been with us only one year, she has endeared herself to both students and faculty. Martha is a graduate of Kings Mountain High School and Kings Business College. 15 Miss Alice Averitt, A.B., Atlan- tic Christian College; M.A., George Peabody. SUPERVISOR AIDS TEACHERS IN QUEST EOR MATERIAL Mr. Lutz receives help in selecting a film. Her duties are so many that only a person with her versatility could per- form the task so well. She supervises the teaching program; has charge of the audio-visual equipment ; and maintains the professional library, keeping materials and methods up-to-date and in the hands of the teachers. 16 “COUNSELORS IN CORPORA TED” The activities of the Guidance De- partment are varied. During the school year tests which include skills, achievement, aptitude, and general ability are made available to all stu- dents. Test scores are returned to the school and each student is given the opportunity to discuss his score with a counselor. Guidance is given on curriculum planning, job pros- pects, choices of college or trade Mr. Parker talks to an “incorrigible” Counselors Parker, Ausley, and Logan school, and plans for future careers. All branches of the Armed Forces administer apti- tude tests to seniors interested in going to work rather than college. Application for college entrance is made through the Guidance Department. Disci- pline, social, emotional, and eco- nomic problems are handled to a large extent through this department. An elective course in Guidance is part of the High School course of study. A ENGLISH DEPARTMENT GIVES EACH STUDENT THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OE HIS LANGUAGE Miss Helen Logan, A.B., UNC English IV; Senior Advisor; Voca tional-Guidance Club. Miss Lillian Quinn, A.B., Erskine; English III; Senior Advisor; Sen- ior Play Director. Mrs. Juanita Logan, B.S., ASTC; English I; Junior Advisor; Moun- taineer; Journalism. Mr. Carl O. M c W h i r t e r, A.B., Limestone; English II; Junior Ad- visor; Speech Club. Oral classwork is a well-known part of English IV. Students demonstrate proficiency in diagramming sentences. Through four years of graduated difficulty, we do learn — often along the way the task seems impossible, but the reward is great. With the realization that we have really made a five-minute talk, that we actually can write a research paper, that our letter does make sense, that reading good literature is enjoyable, and that old Shakespeare wasn’t such a bad guy after all, comes a sense of accomplishment. This year, for the first time, the English Department is offering a Language Arts course ; also. Remedial English. The Language Arts course and the Remedial English course are designed for students who find English a most disagreeable subject. Mrs. Sue H. Moss, A.B., Meredith; English I, III; Freshman Advisor. Mrs. Betty Bates, B.A., Lenoir Rhyne; English I; Freshman Ad- visor; Cheerleaders. Mrs. Eddys L. Ware, A.B., Erskine; English II; Sopho- more Advisor. 19 STUDY OF FRENCH AND LA TIN FOUND TO BE USEFUL IN STUDY OF NA TIVE ENGLISH Mrs. C. V. Harrill, A.B., WCUNC; French, English II; French Club; Junior-Senior Mr. James Evans, A. A., Mars Hill; A.B., Wake Forest; M.Ed., UNC; Post Graduate, U of Miami; U.S. N.R., Harvard: Latin; Latin Club Comprenez-vous le francais? The study of French and Latin is closely related to Eng- lish, especially in vocabulary, and since French is used as a “second language” by many well-educated people all over the world, it assumes great importance in our education. In order to facilitate and strengthen the study of French, recordings, film strips, tapes, and linguaphones are being used as teaching aids in the French department this year. This is the beginning of the modern and up-to-date French laboratory which we hope to develop at Kings Mountain High School. Mr. Evans instructs students in the proper use of the neuter gender. Mrs. Weir assists a student in the selection of an appropriate reference. Mrs. Josephine E. Weir, A.B., Winthrop; M.A., Columbia; Li- brary; National Honor Society; Library Club; Senior Advisor. LARGER LIBRARY SUPPLIES ONE THOUSAND STUDENTS WITH EOOD EOR THOUGHT A Thousand students have daily access to our library, thus making it, in a sense, the hub of the school. The library has a two-fold purpose: first, to supply materials that make the curriculum more interesting and valuable for pupils and teacher ; and second, to make available books and periodicals that give enjoyment and information | to those who read for pleasure. Library Science lessons are offered to students who are using the library for the first time. These students are taught to make full use of the card catalogue, the excellent supply of reference books, as well as the other reading materials. ■■ . -I Miss Sutton graphically explains “why” to one of her geometry classes. With increased emphasis on the im- portance of mathematics in the high school curriculum, we are keeping pace through courses designed to meet the objectives of each of our students — college-bound or otherwise. Our powers of accurate and logical thinking are sharpened through the solution of mathematical problems. We experience a sense of achievement as we train our senses in the orderly, logical world of figures. Far from the dull routine man- ner in which our parents were “drill- ed”, we are encouraged to learn the “why” as well as the “how.” With this sound foundation as a springboard, we are prepared to enter fields of our choice without fear of “closed doors.” Miss Kittie Lou Sutton, B.S., TPI; M.A., Peabody; Algebra II, Plane Geometry; Junior Advisor; Future Teachers Club.

Miss Odessa Black, B.S., OC; Bi- ology; Sophomore Advisor; Speech Contestants. Physics students determine amount of radiation in classroom. Generally regarded as “only for the intellectual,” the students have learned that science is for everybody. What a wide, wonderful world we have found! Freshmen may enroll in General Science, which is a course that introduces the students to all types of science work. Biology is offered to sophomores and is a required course in all North Carolina high schools. Chemistry is primarily a junior course and Physics is considered the senior science. On the General level, much of the work is accomplished by class dis- cussion, films, projects, and lecture-dem- onstrations. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are laboratory sciences. Chemis- try and Physics are taught on the college Preparatory level. Emphasis is placed on mastery of laws Mrs. Helen Ausley, B.S., Mississip- pi; M.S., Yale; Chemistry, Physics; Junior Advisor. and principles and the application of these to quantitative and qualitative laboratory procedure.

The present world situation increased the importance of learning and understanding our past and our present. Being aware of this, our Social Studies Department meets the challenge through courses designed to stimulate in- dividual reasoning and pride in our economic and cultural heritage. With this knowledge comes a sense of responsi- bility for our part in shaping the world of tomorrow. Mr. Fred Withers, B.A., Lenoir Rhyne; M.A., S. California; His- tory, General Business; Sponsor S.P.O.; Head Coach Baseball; Sen- ior Advisor. INCREASES OUR CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE Mr. Parker explains economics problem on map of world. Mr. H. D.

Many of our graduates are able to utter these magic words after completing a chosen course of study of KMHS. The range of electives in the commercial field is wide — type- writing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and a brand-new course in office practice. With the acquiring of the essential skills in these subjects, we feel justi- fiably proud when our speed and accuracy reach an “employable level” and we know that we are equipped to make a place for ourselves in the business world. Mrs. Finger assists student in transcribing her second- year shorthand. Mrs. Carolyn Finger, B.S.S.A., WCUNC; Bookkeeping, Shorthand; Senior Advisor; Advisor, Business Staff MILESTONES.

This is Home Economics — the course that prepares the individual for intelligent and effective family living. Home Economics I, II, and HI are offered, giving future home- makers insight into the solution of personal and family problems, child care, first aid, nutrition, and health. Side lines of the course, and always with us, will be the burned toast, sagging hem lines, and other such minor hazards. Neverthe- less, under the patient guidance of capable instructors, these stu- dents are our future homemakers, and they will be prepared to be our citizens of tomorrow. Mrs. Juanita F. Egerton, B.S., ASTC; Home Ec.; Junior-Sen- ior; Freshman Advisor. Wanda Barnette, Peggy Biggerstaff, Juanita Dellinger, Carolyn Alexander, and Barbara Lynn put finishing touches on their creations.

Officers and directors of Bethware Progressive Club, a part of the adult education program. 34 Ag. boys learn how to strike an arc. FILL TOMORROW’S BREADBASKET It is with pride that we have added Agriculture to the curriculum, because it is the feeling that the schools have a responsibility to provide vocational training to as many students as desire this program. This education is helping to make available trained manpower that enables the nation to produce an abundance of products. Besides regular classroom work, ex- periences are gained through field work and shop. Some 126 boys are tak- ing advantage of this course in this school year. 35 BIBLE STUDENTS GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OE SPIRITUAL LIFE Students learn to understand the lessons taught in the Bible. Through the efforts of the Ministerial Association and the financial aid from our churches, the students in KMHS are given an opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of the Bible. Two years of Bible are offered in the curriculum, one year is the study of the Old Testament and the second is the New Testament with emphasis on Bible history, rather than the secular aspects of religion. We are indebted to the Bible Class for our morning devotions over the communication system. Mrs. Jeannine E. Fisher, A.B., High Point; Bible, Sponsor, Bible Club 36 STUDENTS ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE FINE Mr. William Z. Cashion, A.B., Gardner-Webb; B.S., Newberry; Driver Education, History II POINTS OF AUTOMOBILE DRIVING She has really learned to parallel park! That isn’t the only objective of Driver Education, but, oh, what an accomplishment ! The big sign stating “Student Driver” is really not as dangerous as it looks ; the car has dual controls and Mr. Cashion has the situation well in hand. Driver training is not a required course, but a large percentage of the sophomores feel that learning safe driving is so important that they relinquish a study hall for six weeks. Technique and the N. C. state laws are first learned in the class room before their application. The end results — a real “honest to goodness” driver’s license all your very own. Mr. Cashion explains the “whys” and “wherefores” to driver’s ed. students. 37 MUSIC DEPARTMENT COMPLETES A MOST SUCCESSEUL YEAR Special tribute to the Music Department! Our Music Department is composed of the band and mixed chorus, both of which deserve special commendation. In the fall the Mixed Chorus presented to the public an operetta, “The Mikado,” which proved to be an undisputed success. The Chorus has also performed for the men’s clubs, churches, and for the student body. No word could describe our band’s marching performance at the foot- ball games but “Excellent.” Their precision drills and instrumental per- formance were a pleasure to all present. Christmas parades, concerts and contests have kept the band room a veritable bee hive. The Music Department truly accomplishes its aims of developing a student’s natural musical ability and sharing with others their talents. Mr. Charles R.

PARENT, TEACHER, STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Parent-Teacher-Stu dent Association, newly created in 1960-61, has proved to be a most worth-while endeavor. Acting as a laison between parents, teachers, students, and school, it has enriched our over-all pro- gram with fellowship and increased our understanding of school concepts through informative programs and discussions. The “whole child” is encouraged and nurtured through this organization in its unselfish efforts to contribute to school and community progress. Mr. J. Lutz, Mr. H. Jaynes, Mrs. M. Phifer, Mrs. C. Ballard, Mr. J. Barham, Claire Gilstad, Linda Walker, Pete Mayberry, Richard Gold 102 These are ten girls who re- linquish a study hall to run errands, type bulletins, an- swer telephone, and perform numerous other services to make an efficiently run school.

Our thanks go to Mrs. Yarboro and her staff for their service and contribution to our school. 104 OUR CUSTODIANS KEEP THE SCHOOL IN SHIP-SHAPE CONDITION No yearbook would be complete without recognizing those folks behind the scenes. Our custodians, maid, and maintenance men are very much a part of our work-a-day world. Painting, carpentry, cleaning, and re- pairing equipment are only a few of the many tasks performed each day. We would like to say to each, “A job well done.” Eugene Williams, Robert Smith, Morris Timms, L. A.

DEPENDABLE TRANSPORTATION EOR STUDENTS Many of our students depend on school busses for transportation to and from school. This fleet of busses is driven exclusively by student drivers, both boys and girls. The state has an excellent safety record over the years with their student drivers. We are a part of the envious record, thanks to our very capable and conscientious drivers. 107 STUDENT STORE CATERS TO THE NEEDS OE THE STUDENT BODY — 1 L — i 1 1 1 L ■ ■ l| .

A host of them understood our need and responded with the generosity which we have come to expect from our town and surrounding areas. Selling our annual to the students required little persuasion — most were waiting in November for us to collect that down pay- ment. Word had gotten around that the 1962 Mile- stones was really going to be superb in every respect.

Kings Mountain High School has a long record of outstanding bands, comparable and competitive with the better bands in the area ; this year is no exception. Many observers have stated that the K.M.H.S. band was the best marching band in the conference this fall. This organization provides a splendid program in discipline, precision marching, and musical develop- ment — all of which will provide careers and hobbies after school days. The band council, selected from the per- sonnel of some sixty members, is the gov- erning board for the group.

The election of the officers by the whole student body is carried on in a manner very much similar to the one held by our national political parties. Through the elections a very definite lesson is taught in representative democracy. The numerous functions of the S.P.O. include the responsibility for procuring and presenting all assembly pro- grams, the election of a citizen of the month, and the sponsoring of many spe- cial projects related to over all better- ment of the school.

The “Mountaineers” got off to a winning start with a crisp victory over Forest City’s Golden Tornados in their first game 14-0. In the second game, York’s Green Dragon’s, a new entry on our gridiron schedule, crushed the “Mountaineers” 26-9. Several mistakes, of which York took scoring advantage, were committed in this game. The “Mountain- eers” sustained several injuries. Bolin and Ramseur were sidelined for the remainder of the season ; Brown was out for several games following the encounter with York. These losses undoubtedly were a prominent factor in the ensuing games on the schedule. The “Mountaineers” gained their second victory of the season in their encounter with Chase High School. Their superiority in this game was never in doubt. Two sparkling runs by Alton Stewart and two Wally Har- ris passes pulled down in the end zone by Charles Goodson accounted for the four tal- lies with a final score of 27-6. Curtis Floyd was outstanding in line play and made one interception. This was decidedly the high mark of the season. It appeared almost too easy. Shelby came to town for our fourth game with revenge in their eyes. This had all the ear marks of a typical Kings Mountain- Shelby rivalry. Kings Mountain had its way by scoring first. Shelby came back and scored late in the second quarter. The half ended 7-7. The second half belonged to Shelby. A slippery sophomore halfback broke the game open with two long jaunts. This proved to be decisive. Final score: Shelby 20— K.M. 7.

Bessemer City provided the opposition that proved to be a real thriller in our fifth game. They were billed as a decided underdog, but the “Mountaineers” failed to respond to their spirited play, and thus Bessemer City upset them 14-13. This was the first time Bessemer City had defeated the “Mountaineers” in their many years of encounter. Still licking our wounds from the B.C. de- feat, for our sixth game of the season, we traveled to Clover, S. C., to meet Robert Munday and his mates. At the end of the first half, it was a 6-6 deadlock. Munday and Company exploded in the third quarter scor- ing twenty big points for Clover. We were never able to overcome this, only managing to push over one T.D. in the final quarter — losing 26-13. With injuries still rampant and operating on a partial strength basis, we played host to Lincolnton for our seventh game. Lincolnton arrived with a strong team, the defending South-West Conference Champions, and it was Lincolnton all the way. Final score: 26-7. We traveled to the home of the Hilltoppers, R. S. Central, for our eighth game. This was one of our better efforts of the season. Excel- lent line play, good ball handling, but not quite enough of either. Final score: 14-8. Our final home game and ninth game of the season was Belmont. This was a crowd pleaser. It was obvious the “Mountaineers” would have their way. Final score: 13-0. Final and tenth game of the season, we met our arch rivals, Cherryville. After much thrilling play on the part of both teams, there was not a victor. Final score: 0-0. Grr-r-r-r!” Our boys are really down to earth. “Who’s got the ball?” “Oops, a strap!” Charge of the Mountaineers! That’s usin’ the ole head! Confidence unexcelled! “Now that I’ve erot the ball, what do I do with it?’’ “For-ward, march!’’ Mountaineer players go in for the kill. sixfoil ' , svr KlNGb lOUNTAI kings First row: Alton Stewart, Joe Cunningham, Johnny Brown, Jimmy Owens, Ervin Smith, Wayne Goforth, Ernest Davis — manager; Second row: Tommy Ben- nett, Bobby Waters, Sammy Mauney, Chester Clontz, George Allen, Robert Whisnant, Dale Hollifield; Third row: Karl Hill, Don Bumgardner, Mack Stew- art, Bill Jenkins, Don Hurlburt, Steve Brown, Mike Dixon; Fourth row: Kenneth Barnes, Calvin Lock- ridge, Billy Belt, Fred Dixon, Sammy Houston, James Rollins, James Hope, John Tria, Dennis Floyd; Fifth row: Curtis Floyd, Eddie Tessener, Jerry Rikard, Johnny Baity, Steve Marlowe, Mike McSwain, Don Champion, Arthur Allen, Eddie Ross, Tommy Hope. “THE ALSO-RANS” AND “THE MISPUTTERS” Robert Plonk, Dwight Swan, Donnie Hinson, Franklin Dean, Trip Neisler, J.

Under these conditions it could not help but be perfect! Ooh!-la-la! Mr. Cherry takes time out to sign Ken Cash’s copy of the ’62 “Milestones.” STUDENT TEACHER GIVEN WARM WELCOME BY EACULTY AND STUDENTS As a rule nothing much is said about student teachers in a yearbook, but this one was so popular that he could not pos- sibly be left out. Mr. James Cherry proved himself to be quite capable both as a history teacher and as a friend to the students. His understand- ing, sympathy, and sound advice will be remembered by some few, and his gen- erosity with time, effort, and energy will be remembered by all. 237 Outstanding decorations carry out theme of Mardi Gras. BIG CELEBRA TION L EOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS ■ As the band played our favorite song . . . Can you recall a night, when for a very short while, time of- fered to you a moment of magic and wonder? Do you still remember all the treasures of that night? Of course you do ! No matter what your age, wher- ever you are, you will always remember, for no other night will ever be quite the same as that April 27, the night of the Junior- Senior Prom. Knights of Music entertain at prom. and the balloons came tumbling down. They could have danced all night. The King and Queen of Mardi Gras are crown- ed as waiters and wai- tresses (?) look on. 1 MAY QUEEN, 1962 SANDRA PLONK I First Row: Flower girls and train bearers; Queen, Sandra Plonk; Second Row: Linda Sherrer, Connie Shaw, Gail Huffstetler, Gail Maddox, Dianne McDaniel, Kay Mauney, Toni Ware, Margie Huff- stetler; Third Row: Tommy Bennett, Tommy Dean, John Harry, Butch Moss, Jerry Rikar d, Patsy Spen- cer, Linda Bennett, Judy Watterson, Bill Ramseur, Richard Little, Eddie Herndon, Louis Cook, Kenny Barnes.

Junior Attendants: Gail Huffstetler and Kay Mauney Senior Attendants: Dianne McDaniel and Gail Maddox Band members work hard to prepare for Contest. BAND SHOWS ITS TRUE COLORS IN CONTEST Our wonderful band has finally been recognized as ranking among the top music-makers.
