New L-R scholarship
to aid sacred music
The Sacred Music Program at
Lenoir-Rhyne College will be-
come more attractive to poten-
tial students, thanks to the gen-
erosity of Frances Mauney Lohr
and her family.
The Frances Mauney Lohr
Scholarship Endowment Fund
has been established in honor of
the former Kings Mountain res-
ident to help full-time students
who seck a degree in sacred
music at Lenoir-Rhyne. The
fund is also being supported by
her son, Dr. Lawrence Lohr and
wife Rebecca Beatty Lohr, a '59
alumna of Lenoir-Rhyne. They
reside in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The Lohr scholarship in-
volves a $50,000 gift to the col-
lege to establish the scholarship.

those majoring in sacred music
or a music field.

Mountain and a life-long
Lutheran, taught home eco-
nomics in Marshville and Forest
City before she moved in 1934
to Raleigh. There, she served as
state supervisor of home eco-
nomics instruction. Her hus-
‘band, Lawrence Lohr, a 1914
alumnus of Lenoir-Rhyne, was
a former high school principal
and sales representative for
textbook publishers. He was the
-son-of-the-Rev. ‘Luther Lohr of
Lincolnton, who received an
honorary doctorate degree from
L-Rin 1914.
Mrs. Lohr was involved for
many years in St. Matthew's
Lutheran Church in Kings
Mountain and Holy Trinity
Church in Raleigh, where she
was the first woman elected to
the church council. She served
the N.C. Council of Church
Women, first as treasurer and
later as chairwoman, and. was
for many years a member of
Delta Kappa Gamma profes-
sional education sorority.

Dependents of Lutheran
Ministers in memory of her
husband.

Elizabeth Gamble was a treasure
To the editor:
February 16, 1997 marked the third anniversary
of the passing of Elizabeth Gamble, one of Kings
Mountain's greatest persons. She was the epitome
If love, service and selflessness.
She was devoted to her Lord, church, family
and friends in that order. Kings Mountain has lost
a treasure.
She had no children, yet hundreds. She planted
more heart seeds of self worth, productivity, cre-
ativeness, and love that can be estimated by hu-
man means.
Only God can measure the valuable contribu-
tion that one woman has made in her life span.
The word "enemy" was not in her vocabulary.
She was a friend to all who knew her, and she has
been and will be sorely missed.

McRae report card
shows high marks
The school system's veteran
superintendent Dr. Bob McRae
got a high rating for job perfor-
mance during an informal mid-
year evaluation by the Kings
Mountain Board of Education.
"We are very pleased with the
job Bob McRae is doing in
Kings Mountain, academically
and administratively,” said the
board's chairman Ronnie
Hawkins.
Hawkins said the board sat
down with McRae after a recent
school board meeting and
talked about his and their con-
cerns for the seven-school sys-
tem.
Under McRae's leadership
the past 10 years, the school
system has exhibited progress
in many ways, according to
Hawkins.
"Students get report cards
and we thought it appropriate
to give the superintendent a re-
port card too," said Hawkins,
who was joined in the evalua-
tion by vice-chairman Billy
Houze and members Shearra
Miller, B. S. Peeler, and Connie
Allison.
"l guess you could say we
gave Bob McRae an A-plus,"”
said Hawkins.
