Chancey, a four-year Navy veteran
who took his training in Norfolk,
Va. He is a Cleveland County elec-
trician. The couple fell in love with
the Kings Mountain area when he
was stationed in the Navy in
Birmingham; Ala.
"Kings Mountain was about half
way between our homes and it was
. a perfect place for our families to
get together," she said.
Her family includes an older
brother, Rex Callaway, a respirato-
ry therapist in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The young couple use their va-
cation to visit relatives in Florida.
They also enjoy hiking in Chimney
Rock and reading.
Chancey, 25, recommends that
young people choose teaching as a
career only if they are motivated
themselves and are enthusiastic
about the job.
Students enthusiasm is evi-
denced by A Choose to Care dis-
play of pictures of students at
work on projects and Science news
clipped from magazines and news-
papers.
"Kids won't learn just for the
sake of learning," she said of her
students.

Former Librarian reads poetry
A warm, sunny spring Sunday
afternoon brought 75 poetry lovers
to Mauney Memorial Library April
14.
Hazel Herndon Fryer was the
guest of the Kings Mountain
Historical Museum Foundation at a
reception where she read from her
recently published book of poems,
"One Brash Mockingbird." She had
donated 100 copies ‘of her book to
the Foundation to sell to the public
to raise funds for renovation of the
old US Post Office as a permanent
home for a city museum. Over
2,000 items have already been do-
nated from citizens of the area and
, wait in storage for a place to be
displayed.
Mrs. Fryer was welcomed by
Larry Hamrick Sr. and introduced
by Lynne W. Mauney, who noted
the importance of the poet's influ-
ence in bringing the dream of a his-
torical museum to reality by her vi-
sion and determination. Monies left
from the funds of the Kings
Mountain Centennial celebration
were given to the library and to the
Kings Mountain Historical
Museum Foundation. With help
from a group of interested people
Mrs. Fryer helped organize a board
of trustees and set an agenda for
the future which definitely includ-
ed a permanent building in the
downtown area. The dream came
true recently when the city council
pledged to lease the old post office
to the Foundation for its museum.
The audience was charmed and
entertained by Mrs. Fryer as she

"All 100 books of poetry were
sold," noted Stella Putnam, secre-
tary of the Museum Foundation.
"Another printing is being con-
sidered if demand for additional
books remain high. If you would
like your name on a waiting list,
please call me at Neisler Brothers
to reserve your copy. They make
wonderful gifts for friends and
family, especially those with ties to
our town."
