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.
