Mary Snyder Testator Prophecy At 3:15 on Monday, May thirteenth, a bomb, set to go off at 6:30, exploded in the Morganton Gum and Chicle Works. This explosion not only created a giant Juicy Fruit bubble that hovered over the Old North State for weeks but also draped the town under a sugary sheath of Cinnamint and Dentyne that extinguished all life in metropolitan Burke County. People immediately compared the disaster to other holocausts of the past decades, and Morganton suddenly became revered as the Pompeii of the New World. Among the inhabitants smothered by the gooey chew were M. Bivens Smith and Donny Hawkins, perpetual bingo players, co- owners of the gum plant and the best chewers in town, fire-chief Johnny Milton and his workstarved fire fighters: driver Mitch Short, hatchetman Ronald Amos, hose-and-ladder man Phillip Mode and spare tire Dearl Moody, and Thomas Dorsey Taylor, proprietor of the new Burke Purple Penguin, his employees, matrons of charm Sharon Tate and Katrina Hicks, exotic Alabaman dancer Lise Wilson, bouncer Nella Fleming and local patrons, Buddy Drum and Ronald Crouch. The magnificent malignant mass snuffed the lives of many others, muddling around the renovated rec. Ronnie Sink and Billy Gamble were whizzing through the tennis courts after sophomoric teenagers in the wheelchairs that rested their arthritic, jive-worn joints. Barbara Cantrell and Vickie Causby played hopscotch until the final moment when their varicose veins collapsed. Big Al Hollar, the only obvious protrusion in the blanket, carried a rule book of the Canadian Football League in his left hand and an induction notice in his right. And McElrath and Snyder, better known as the “Flying Boxcars”, juggied and bounced their way along. At court another group of unknowing victims were struck by the rubbery ribbon. Larry McMahon, weekend National Guardsman, local judge and Bali Hai distributor, a man always in one form of government, was hearing a case of hit and run. The defendant Digger Dale, trail blazer and president of the Raise-Hank Aaron-From-The-Dead Club, represented by his attorney, Richard Jones, pleaded innocent to the charge of striking golfer, Dean Scott, on the third green at Baltrusrol. Of course, Jones a renowned orator, proceeded to get his client convicted of the felonious charge. Luckily for Digger, Dean had been silenced years earlier when his larynx locked and could not verbally press charges. Uptown shoppers and retailers were actually stuck in their tracks. Becky Lambeth, owner of drugstores in Morganton and Glen Alpine, was victimized during the midmorning coffee break rush. At the time Davidson Alumni, John Randolph and J. W. Carter, had just stepped in for an ale between sets of tengolf (a game played with tennis rackets and golf balls on a dirt track). Simultaneously, the carp gang led by Melvin Rockett entered and ransacked the pharmacy for fish bait. In desperation gang thugs, Barry Blakley, former right winger of the Toronto Maple Leaves turned bad, and Mike and David Alexander, ex-E.T.W.N.C. truckers, escaped under a barrage of golf balls dragging with them Linda Wilson — whom they planned to use as shark repellent. Elsewhere intown cabby Roger Ledford rounded up members of the re-established Sub-Human Woman’s Club. He went from the Burke Tire Store to get owner Dinah Yount to Rose’s to find sales chief Loretta Poole and stockboy Joyce Hern — a devout women’s lib veteran — and from Belk’s to check out Terry Arney, store front mannequin and original sub-human, to Lazarus to pick up Stephen Kincaid, the club’s mascot and father. At the College Street High School — repossessed when a bomb threat at West Burke proved to be fact — classes went on as usual. Many of the brilliant faculty believed the chunk of chicle to be instant snow, even though the temperature was in the high seventies in May. Among the replete corps of teachers were Steve Hubbard, assistant principal in charge of discipline and absences, Mrs. Hubbard, Diane, author of the bestseller Everything You Always Wanted to Know About School but were afraid to ask, Gary Harbison, authoritative integral calculus instructor, Vernetta Conley, head football coach, and Norma Wilson, director of R.O.TC. Also on hand was perennial senior Steve Goble, the only person who kept the granite replica of Put hand ground. The newly hired cook, Jack Helton, was out-doing his predecessors. His staff, Red Wakefield, who bought cheap machine oil for his own top quality Italian dressing, Gayle McCracken, who cleaned every bone when she started cooking, Janet Forrest, who provided desserts and Bevy- erly Forney, Darrell Johnson and Danny Womack, who were in charge of after-dinner music after lunch, added a new atmosphere to 67 the primarily rat and roach infested refectory. Throughout the town the gooey chew left countless thousands dead. One of the best remembered was W. G. Thomas, infamous architect, who designed beautifully curving buildings under the guidance of one Mike Lackey. Others were Saturday Poker players, Charles Twiggs and Terry Tate, trapped in the Winn Dixie stockroom. Furthermore, there was the Canaryland Troupe. Composed of bird brains Joe Brown, Donna Bryson, Novah Wall, Kathy Brown and Cora Perkins, this brash quintet performed at all the nearby social engagements (Rumor has it their act was so boring they played rest homes to put the insomniacs to sleep). Last of all, there was His Honor Mayor Edward Small, the head of Morganton who — as he himself predicted — was higher than the bomb when it went off. Thusly, the throbbing heart of the Old North State was smothered. The sad explosion highlighted and climaxed the freak accidents that has plagued the town during the earlier years. For during the past decades hundreds of Morgantonians died under unlikely circumstances. Executives were subject to ironic fate. Joseph Anderson, owner of groceries from Coast to coast, was hit by ptomaine poisoning; a bus ran over Tim Buff, president of Goodyear Tires. Miss Clarke, proprietor of Mama Valerie’s Split Pea Emporium, choked on one of her thicker broths; conversely, restauranteur Suellen Cline starved. Steve Bennett, chairman of the board of General Motors, caught his shoulder-length hair in the driveshaft of a new model pick-up and wound to death. Yet, none compared to Beverly Thombs, vice-president of Pepsico, who eructed her life away. Once a ravenous Maltese vulture gorged itself on a local movie crew on location in Transylvania. At the time Silver Screen Productions was shooting the second scene from The Trumpet Meets Dracula, typifying the life of C. R. Luckadoo, self-made trumpeteer who also taught himself to play the harmonica, kazoo, flutophone and the dog whistle before blowing his brains out while attempting to tune the Houston-to-San Antonio pipeline. The cast was made up of Judy Clay, who played the trumpet, Joy Nusz, who had the bit parts of the Wolfman and Igor, and Brenda Rogers, who ran the mechanical monsters. Also on hand were Director Joe Clark, believed to have at last out-achieved his Oscar winner, The Life and Times of Tammy Wynette, Producer Carolanne Bauer, one of the original “Flying Boxcars” and present president of the First National Bank of Minsk, and stuntman Clark Colston, to be used in the final scene when the trumpet blows out a gigantic burning marshmallow. But filming was cut short when the famished buzzard ate the marshmallow, the crew and a half-mile of Transylvanian topsoil. Some died in duty to country. One in particular was E.J. Freeman, U.S. ambassador at large. Jacques and his world-weary wife, Ethel, and team of interpreters, Jessica Haynes in Spanish and Cantonese, Robert Phillips in French and Polish, and Mary Ruth Hayden in Congolese and Yiddish, were stoned to death in Venezuela when Miss Haynes lost her voice at a pro-America rally and Freeman decided to complete the speech himself. Another was W. E. Robertson. William was a chaplain assigned to a combat troop in Arabia (The war in Indo-China was spreading west). He and platoon commander Eddie Seitz had maneuvered their forces into Duckworthville —so named for Walter K. Duckworth, who had been rejected by the Great Society abroad. Thereby being surrounded by so formidable a foe, Seitz fought to his final minute, as Robertson peacefully enjoyed his own fate. Less glamorous others were Rex Dale, American poet laureate, likewise stoned overseas; S. Daniel Stephens, head of the Peace Corps, lost somewhere in Dehunga and Billy Williams, president of the Merchant Marines, crushed on a loading dock in Kyoto being mistaken for an economy-sized can of tuna. There were a few mass deaths. Once the My Friend Flicka fan club train derailed en route to the international convention in Kankakee, killing president Kathy Bingham, first vice-treasurer Charlene Tinnin, sandwich committee chairman Carolyn Setzer, handler of foreign affairs Viola Johnson and sergeant-at-legs Benny Kirby. Later a bus chartered to the first annual Worcester Mythology Exposition plummeted off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, drowning the Sons of Zeus, a club made up of Centaur Tommy Harton, Druid Linda Simmons, Muse Pat Cox and Gorgon John Finger. Lastly and dramtically, the farm staff at the Nebo Home for Waylaid Camels was literally cooked in a fire that effaced the dairy barn and water closet. The blaze, caused by Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicking over the proverbial flashlight, fricasseed milkmaid Ann Meyers, very handyman Jeff Haynes, shepherd Peggy Clark, off-duty camel buster Cathy Ross and smokehouse attendant Evelyn Woody, who thought the Home was planning to cure cattle. Disease struck a small number of people. Josephine Murphy suffered a heart attack when she lost her gossipy voice. Cancer claimed the lives of tobacco executives, Kenneth Perkins and J. Tipton Oxford. Tim Sigmon had to have his head removed when his eyeball froze to his all-weather telescope. A stroke hit Debra Tallent when her busy-body ears went deaf. And finally, the picky, glam- our girls, Ann Law, Shelia Woody, and Kathy Cline, became sick of men and quickly pined away their youth. Work took several more lives. Carbon monoxide got Kathy Huffman one afternoon while she was putting antifreeze in her Maserati. Freddie Setzer was embalmed by the ammonia he used to preserve his renowned butterflies. Over a fifteen month period six alleged racers lost their lives on N.A.S.C.A.R., U.S.A.C. and Grand Prix circuits. These drivers were Jack (during the winter a transalpine sledder) Feimster at Darlington, John Cooper in a Converted Grease-Slapper at Indy, Steve Walters and Gerald Childs in a two-car collision at the new Drum Straight Raceway between Morganton and Valdese, Ronda Rockett: at Le Mans (she could never endure) and Steve Smith at the Pike’s Peak hill climb for distressed dune buggies. Also Doris Powell and Phyllis Propst, serving as bookends at the Timbuktu Library Exposition were shellacked for eternity by surrealistic artist Paul Edmundson — who was later tried, convicted and hung (or is it hanged?) in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art beside the twin statues of Nicky Price and Tom Corley, former maintenance engineers of the edifice. One April in Manhattan physicists Anthony Myers and John Galloway stepped out for a bite of lunch. Ambling along Thirty-Fourth Street, they spotted a potato chip floating down from the Empire State Building. Immediately Galloway whipped out the collapsible slide rule that he continually carried on his utility belt and with the data supplied to him by Myers — a noted potato chip expert — he computed the instantaneous velocity, relative acceleration, ultimate force, direction due to wind shifts, and crumbling possibility of the chip on impact. Much to Anthony’s misfortune and vagrant chip smote an evil gash into his forehead before John could conclude his findings. As he lay dying, Myers calmly quoted passages from his favorite book, Return of the Green Metronome. John did nothing. But months later, believing the death was his fault, Galloway demolished his irreparable, hand-carved, gilt-edged mahogany slide rule that he had recently won at the physicists’ annual round-robin billiards tournament. Realizing exactly what he had done, John fell into a swoon that shortly took his life. Some residents passed away happily. Chris Johnson and Sarah Largent were at the drive-in when the car they were in blew up. Jimmy Shell went on the professional pie-eating tour; however, he forgot his Alka Seltzer one time too often. Newlyweds, N.K. Burgess and Karen Whisnant, died together moments after their marriage when secret-lover Paul Williams threw plastic explosive rice on the joyous couple and at the same time swallowed a cyanide tablet to destroy himself. Of course, swinger-pilot Marion Dixon finally passed away after a score of crashes on Interstate 40. Lastly, Betty Beckwith Browning withered away with her thumb in a Dutch dike, fulfilling her lifelong dream to be a plug. Elsewhere sundry deaths occured. Captain Daniel Stine, an unsung hero, perished in the battle of Dien Bien Phu that drastically pointed out the hopeless continuum of the “War”. In the Pacific, ecologist Jeanne Causby, bio-chemist Beverly Winkler, and scuba experts Patsy Clontz and Beverly Tucker were exploring the possibility of sea life off Santa Barbara when a tsunami rocked the coast, slapping the survey squad senselessly ashore for the savage sea gulls. At Luigi Houston’s Pizzeria, weekly bridge partners Susan Broome, Brenda Isaacs, Barbara Hensley and Judy Epley stopped for a late brunch. The foursome ordered an imperial around-the- world special. But Chef Luigi —a transmuted mechanician known as Wayne — had run out of anchovies and ground up a few bolts to add flavor and crunch to his popular piece de resistance. The hungry lunchers greedily gorged themselves, vastly enjoying the pizza. But a month later the quartet died of iron deposits. Luigi himself soon passed away from an overdose of mercury found in anchovies. And at the new rocking chair Mimosa Theatre Tim Monroe — noted hair groomer and amateur actor, who was performing in a remake of Arsenic and Old Lace, got into the arsenic after Tuesday’s matinee to end the production. Shockingly sudden deaths were prevalent. Judy Kirby, blown off course whilé swimming the English Channel, drowned in the North Sea. As expected, Susan Rivers, Kathie Stephenson, and Kaye Armour quietly passed into a more rambunctious afterworld. Some unknown Davidsonite left Elaine Harbison in the snow to freeze. Susan Gibbs was caught in the beater blades at the Sunbeam Bakery. Hoffman and Hollifield played Polish roulette (unlike the Russian version they used five bullets and one empty cartridge). Professional pros Scott Johnson and Chris Petrie succeeded in everything but marriage and died from thirty-six alimony payments per year. Naturally Joyce Leatherman laughed to death and Beverly Russ was killed with kindness. Consequently and undoubtedly Mr. Society. Eddie Franklin, just died to go this heavenly party. Phil Bounous Prophet New lamps for old, go west, find gold we cry; Abandoning the simple lives we led. The time has come for us to say goodbye To years that placed the world-gate in our heads. The key, the gate, the lock, the hinge are there, Of knowledge built, and firmed with memory. What of the friends? Of experience that burned? The time has come to think; the clock has turned. Will reflection serve, now that our souls are free? For school is done; it’s now just you and me. And in our separate wandering through life, The gate and key are there to use or not. The countless days of we and us take flight; Alone each turns his key, or comes to naught. Alan Hollar Class Poet pen me Ve ENE e eprint iss M.H:S. M Terry Al Arney LEG LSS M 70 Miss M.H.S.
