Sagesport Now Open
Grand Opening of Sagesport,
in the former Fulton’s building
on W. Mountain Street, is now
underway.
Corky Fulton, formerly
manager of the family-owned
Fultons’ Department Store, has
renovated the downstairs area of
the Fulton building, added
shelves and other interior fur-
nishings and stocked the store
with a complete line of sports
footwear, clothing and sports
gear. The new line, which is new
to Kings Mountain, also includes
tennis stringing, racquets, all
sports shoes, running supplies
for men and women, ladies
aerobic wear and swimwear ad
casual clothes for all ages four
and up.
Sagesport of Kings Mountain
is the second sports store to be
opened by the Fulton family. A
Lincolnton firm by the same
name opened in June 1982
under the managership of
Corky’s brother, Jim Fulton, and
reported such success that when
Ruth and Bill Fulton retired
from the retail business here,
their son, Corky decided to open
a Kings Mountain Sagesport.
CORKY FULTON
The firms are named after the
late Sage Fulton, father of Bill
Fulton.
We have oriented our stock to
what the individual team
member buys, said Corky, and
feature no heavy equipment.
Sagesport is open six days a week
from 9:30 to 5:30.

KMHS Preparing
For School Year
Kings Mountain Senior High is getting ready for the 1984-1985
school years. Rising Junior and Seniors have been registering to vote
for elections of Student Participation Organization (SPO) and Class
Officers. Trying to get students to register has been difficult in the
past. This year has been outstanding, 236 juniors and 254 sophomores
have registered. Thanks students!
On Thursday, April 12, SPO elections were held. Students seeking
election were required to do a skit, and campaign throughout the
week. All nominees have maintained a 2.0 grade point average for
three proceeding grading periods is also-a requirement. Candidates for
SPO President are—Jill Brooks, Richie Gold, and Robin Warlick;
Vice-President—Kevin Sabucco and Patrick Hamrick; Secretary-
Treasurer—Rodrick Boyce and Patti McGinnis. The winners will be
announced in next week’s Kings Mountain Herald.
Liberarian, Sara Griffin wishes to announce to the students that a
summer reading program will be held from June 19 thru August 3 for
children ages four to eleven. If any student would like to volunteer an
hour or two a week to help with the younger children, please go by the
Media Center and sign up.
Last week the Faculty Talent Show sponsored by the Journalism
Staff was held for the student body. Students who wished to attend
paid fifty cents. This profit aided in raising money for our school
newspaper. Publishing a newspaper involves a lot of money and time.
The Journalism Staff has done an excellent job this year. Thanks to
the faculty members who participated in the talent show. We not only
have fine teachers, but talented ones as well!
Cancer Jail-A-Thon
Scheduled April 26-27
American Cancer Society
volunteers in the Kings Moun-
tain area are preparing for the se-
cond annual Jail-A-Thon to be
held April 26-27 at Mountain Ci-
ty Building Supply.
Lavon Strickland and Darrell
Austin are co-chairpersons of the
project, and are being assisted by
Zeb Plonk. The goal is $15,000.
Over $11,000 was raised in the
first jail-a-thon last year.
The jail will be in operation
both days from 8:30 a.m. until
5:30 p.m., Mrs. Strickland said.
Area citizens can have a friend,
spouse, boss, co-worker, or
anyone else “arrested” by calling
the jail’s special number which
will be announced in the Herald
prior to the April 26-27 jail-a-
thon. Area police officers will
serve a warrant on the victims
and haul them to the jail, where
they will appear before Kings
Mountain's meanest hanging
judges, William Davis, C.A.
Allison, Gary Stewart and Jay
Patterson. Everyone will be
found guilty and charged a fine.
The fine will be paid by the vic-
tims getting on the telephone
and securing pledges to the
Cancer Society for amounts
equal to or greater than the fine.
During all the fun, the judges
and other Cancer Society
volunteers will be handing out
literature which identifies
cancer’s seven warning signals
and offers tips on how to quit
smoking.

A Kings Mountain native, son
of Bill and Ruth Fulton, Corky
Fulton grew up in the sales
business and started clerking at
Fulton’s when he was a high
school student. A graduate of
KMSH, received his degree in
Business Administration in 1973
and then got into the family
business managing Fulton’s here
until his parents retired recently
and closed the retail firm. He is
married to the former Barbara
Hord of Kings Mountain and
they are parents of two children,
Sage, age six, and Charlotte; age
two. Past president of the Kings
Mountain Chamber of
Commerce-Merchants Associa-
tion, he has long been active in
the Kings Mountain Jaycees and
Rotary Club. He recenlty
became the third generation of
Fulton treasurers at Boyce
Memorial ARP Church of
which he is a member, following
his father, W.S. Fulton, Jr. who
served 25 years. Corky’s grand-
father, W. Sage Fulton, Sr. serv-
ed 25 years before Bill took the
job and before that Bills’ uncle
was treasurer. A member of Cor-
ky’s family has served as
treasurer of the ARP Church
since 1910, which is probably a
record.
“Many active, sports-minded
citizens have had to go out of
town to buy the clothing and
supplies they need and we decide
to make this much-need service
available in Kings Mountain,”
. said Fulton.
‘Central School
Students May
Join Club
Central School has begun a
new program which allows all
sixth grade students who carry A
or B averages to join the Science
Club.
The club meets every Wednes-
day during activity period. Club
sposors are Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs.
Wood, Mrs. Moffitt and Mrs.
Weathers. The club has 35
members.
On occasion, business and
community leaders are invited to
speak to the club. So far this
year, representatives from Duke
Power and its Catawba Nuclear
Plant have spoken to the class.
Visitors from the junior high
spoke at a meeting two weeks
ago and showed their projects
for the school’s Science Fair.
The club has undertaken a
number of projects. It is current-
ly recycling newspapers and
hopes to raise enough money to
have a dumpstér placed at the
school. In January, club membes
made bird feeders to hang
around the schoolgrounds. This
week, the club made posters to
promote Tornado Awareness
Week at the school.
The club will have its Science
Fair in May. Club members
must make a project. Prizes will
be awarded for first, second and
third place.
Foote Mineral Company
recently gave the Science Club
$150 for field trips and trophies.
