\ Page 2A-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, October 18, 1984 Lib Stewart A Big Invitation For Big Project Over the years a number of invitations of all descriptions have come across my desk at the Herald but Tuesday morning when Ellen (Mrs. Garland) Atkins brought the morning’s mail it contained one of the most unique invitations we have seen at the Herald. The invitation was contained in a brown cardboard box large enough to hold a gift item. Rolled up inside the box was a three feet long by six inch wide royal blue tall tower imprinted on blue paper with “A Towerful Reception” at the top of the invitation announcing WBTV’s plans to celebrate the “2,000 feet of electric excitement and a new era in television in the Carolinas” on Nov. 1 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Charlotte. The 2,000 foot tower was first completed. ; Although the package was not a “gift” we appreciated the nice gesture. } Jane (Mrs. Jerry) King, West School Principal, got a surprise on her birthday Tuesday. Her 300 pupils sang “Happy Birthday” to her in unison over the intercom system. “It’s really been a very special Tues- day at West School”, according to Mary Evelyn (Mrs. Jim) Anthony, school secretary. On Wednesday, Kings Mountain District teachers, aides and staf- fers were treated to “Apples for A Day” compliments of the local Alpha Delta Kappa Chapter during the celebration of National ADK Week in Kings Mountain.
