V . fcl 1 . � KJBQ prophecy on march 22, 1984, put passed away, though the death of the 98 year old history teacher broke the hearts of every ex-senior of morganton high school, his funeral provided morganton with the most gala social function it had ever known, as a final tribute, all his past students flocked back to the old hometown to pay homage to their beloved put, whose loving instruction and dedicated care had shaped and molded each of their lives. they were drawn like flies from the four corners of the earth, from paris came mrs. laura epeley, who is currently giving bidet demonstrations to the delight of many a dirty old frenchman, this was her first trip back to the states since her elopement many years before, mrs. liz harrill onassis, whose charm, beauty, and youth had finally won aristotle over from the aging and money-hungry Jackie, flew in from scorpios, and jane tate rogers left her chain of british riding academies to make the trip with her third husband, roy. a number of people came down from new york, including “broadway” doug, swinging playboy and nightclub owner, perry lattimore, the metropolitan opera’s biggest star, sharon shores, owner of a chain of chic charm schools and health spas susan bishop and Judy hogshead, recently retired rockettes, and gary caldwell and larry brewer of the harlem globe-trotters from hollywood, too, came quite a few of put’s most ardent fans, among these were hedge phillips, who had just finished starring in a remake of “doctor zhivago”, his co-stars, deborah kidd and sandra jablonski, stuntman mike connely, who served as hedge’s double in the action scenes, and leonard greene, who is starring in the remake of “the graduate”, also attending was ann blanton, who has lost all her hair in recent years, and was chosen for the title role in mgm’s comedy, “goodby mr. put”, which will co-star susan abshire, as the voluptuous miss scott, bruce braswell, as the intellectual heman, mr. annis, and pam moore, as camera hog mary vann. tina black came back from nashville where she’s presently one of the grand ole opry’s biggest attractions, business is so good, she said, that it,will soon be time for her to start her own fried chicken place, betty giles, two time winner of the indianapolis 500, drove down from indiana in record time, mike lewis motorcycled down from woodstock nudist camp, where he has proved (or is it proven?) to be one of the camp’s most active residents. a prime attraction of the funeral was the presence of newly-weds robert chapman and his charming (but rapidly rusting) bride, lady bird, the couple had come directly from gaffney after a “quicky” wedding which had followed lyndon’s “quicky” funeral the day before. miss scott left her work at the elegant e’est bon club in charlotte to attend the rites, she was accompanied by her protogees, mary caviness and betsy williams as well as employees of the rival geisha girl club, helen low and teresa lee. miss scott says she will soon give up show business in order to fulfill her lifelong ambition of writing a pronunciation guide of the english language, drs. patrick edmundson and teresa lyle came down from somewhere in Wisconsin where they are professors at phraser’s physics university, unfortunately, the founder herself was unable to attend as she had finally gone beserk after years of trying to psychoanalyze everyone and everything in sight. like miss phraser, there were others who were unable to attend the funeral, “abe” padgett had been shot from behind several years before while sitting in the balcony of the hiimosa theater, and had died the next day after being carried across the street to the courthouse, (who wouldn’t die in that dilapidated rathole!) astronaut alan brown has been sent to the moon to investigate some noisy monolith and doubts he 11 be back before the year 2001. of course, all the local people were there, put’s colleagues, the faculty of morganton high, were all very much in evidence particularly miss florence williams, the basketball coach, mrs. Janet salthouse, her assistant, steve simpson, the band director, miss beth goare, director of hallway safety, kathy mooney, school librarian, mike curlee, the football coach and guidance counselor, and miss carol pittman, who has been teaching french ever since her predecessor eloped to paris the high school drama teacher, miss vicki sellers, was particularly upset, saying what a shame it was that put would miss this year’s senior class play, “oh! Calcutta” which she thinks he would have especially enjoyed, miss norma seagle, home economics teacher, was in charge of costumes for the production, but found that she has lots of free time on her hands. . . , • i lura inscoe, as radiant as ever in her contacts, came accompanied by her brother-in-law, john, since her insanely jealous husband was’presently resi ding at burke county’s beautiful seven-story prison, charged with the malicious (and rather messy) murder of dr. r. earl grubb, former president of the university of tennessee. mr. inscoe had come home to find his longtime competitor in the arms of his flirtatious wife. naturally, mrs. mcneely was there, but no one recognized her with her mouth closed, but, as she explained in a series of frantic gestures, her mouth had died several years before in utter exhaustion. eric branstrom came rolling in, in a wheelchair, pushed by eric petrie on crutches, the two are co-owners of beech mountain ski resort, mrs. margaret black, who is currently working as a mannequin in burand’s front window, made a dramatic entrance, ostentatiously bedecked in numerous wigs and other paraphanalia. she changed clothes several times during the proceedings. , j . u n all the middle-age lovebirds were there—tommy and ginger brown, henry and myra hies, edward and barb mills, and bev and connie hairfield. each couple was accompanied by a half a dozen or so hysterical and uncontrollable youngsters. everyone was clammoring for the autograph of the glamorous ham, mary vann grigg, whose husband had drooled over her from his front row seat every monday and thrusday so many years ago. released especially for the occasion were broughton inmates, daisy robinson, Judy shook, lucy walker and mike powell, who attended under careful supervision of nurses jean williams, Janice hughes, and cathy short, other inmates, patti tolbert and keith ross, are in solitary confinement since it was considered too much of a risk to expose them to the public. the funeral itself was an affair to remember! it was held at none other than gregory’s deluxe funeral parlor, a solid mahogany coffin was donated by robert connelly, Jr. president of drexel enterprises and part-time Spanish teacher, and 68 matkin’s laundry provided a remarkably clean shroud, the load was carried by pallbearers sieve whisnant, editor of the news herald and vice president of the Carolina alumni association, t.w. avery, advertising manager for post nasal drip, inc., richard hollifield, swiss bank executive, ronnie kelly, noted nose surgeon and ear exterminator, and dickie feimster, emminent local sot. music was provided by organist and part-time latin professor, billy Covington, whose admiring wife, wendy, turned pages for him. pre-show entertainment was performed by a local all-girl combo, made up of kathy brendle, karen perkins, and sharon simmons, with vocalist hazel peterson, who soon will quit the supremes to have a go at it alone. reverend william wilson officiated at the service, giving a tear-jerking eulogy of the deceased, attorney thomas jackson, local toolhead, read the will, as his lovely wife, debbie, stood proudly at his side, then, all listened eagerly to dr. Catherine harbison’s juicy report of the autopsy which she had performed with the assistance of nurses mary pruitt, cathy puett, and carol smith, before turning the body over to mr. crisp, she reported that put had been in fine condition until immediately after a brain operation by the noted scatter-brained brain surgeon, dr. paula gee, who thought she was to do an amputation, the highlight of the whole ceremony was mr. crisp’s informative presentation of his color slides which illustrated the step-by-step process he had used to preserve the old man for eternity. following this, the crowd was eager for refreshments, donna ledford provided tons of popcorn in honor of her dead hero, and an abundance of burnt brownies was served by assistant home ec. teacher, sandra bryant. ann ross passed out chewing gum, which she had collected after two days of scraping desks in put’s room, drinks were provided through the courtesy of the hicks hines bottling company, formerly known as the abc store, only then, did everyone realize how much astronaut brown would have enjoyed the occasion, for the teetotalers in the crowd, mr. crisp served leftover embalming fluid. soon the entire group was stoned, especially the teetotalers, and the trek to the cemetery began, everyone was loaded onto two buses, driven by city bus drivers, tommy earl brown and daniel canipe. due to the lack of a hearse (mr. and mrs. hairfield no longer had theirs), mrs. shirley carter and miss jane taylor, local librarians, volunteered their bookmobile to get put out to his final resting place, after all had arrived there, there was a long series of “oohs” and “aahs” over the very commendable hole, personally dug by carl kirksey, president of gravediggers, inc. then reverend wilson gave a bit more rhetoric, and the body was laid to rest, (the coffin was returned to drexel.) the news media went all out in covering the event, stark . corpening studios were in charge of photographing the affair, and they turned out some excellent color pictures, shot from every angle imaginable, of the corpse just as gangrene was setting in. autographed copies of these will soon be available to the public, sheila diercks and phyllis robinson, though heartbroken over the death of their former boss, were already planning layouts for a souvenir program of the festive occasion, fritz petrie, celebrated texas disc jockey, gave exclusive radio and television coverage to all the goings-on. a marvelous time was had by all, and all hoped to get together again soon, chances are it won’t be too long before they can! mrs. kidd and mr. snyder, both decrepit residents of broughton’s senior citizen’s award, are declining rapidly, and it looks as if they will soon be joining their beloved colleague in eternity, so keep the cutting board ready dr. harbison!
