Teacher of
The Week
MURPHY - Teaching earth
science and mathematics at
Murphy High School to Ed
win Hendrtx Is more than a
profession ? It Is a family
tradition. Mr. Hendrlx's fath
er, Clarence Hendrlx, had
taught for 45 years when he
retired a few years ago as
principal of Peachtree School.
Besides three aunts who teach
In Cherokee County Schools,
Mr. Hendrlxhas a sister, Mrs.
Gene Stewert, who holds a
teaching position In Alabama,
while his only brother, David,
will graduate In March as a
teacher from the University
of Tennessee. In keeping with
the family tradition, Mrs.
Hendrlx, the former Miss
Patsy Jones, returned to
college and earned her teach
er's certificate.
After finishing Murphy High
School In 1953, Edwin Hendrlx
attended the University of
Tennessee for two years and
continued his education at
Western Carolina College,
where he graduated with a
degree In science with a con
centration In biology and
chemistry. Not satisfied with
minimum requirements, how
ever, Mr. Hendrlx Is at the
present pursuing a Master's
Degree.
Before he joined the Murphy
High School teaching staff last
fall, Mr. Hendrlx had taught
biology, English, and general
science for three years at
Hlawassee Dam. His ability
to motivate pupils was evi
denced recently when his earth

and minerals.
Outside of school, Mr.
Hendrlx enjoys the out-of

Cuz's Corner!
by Bag ley
I told you last week about
some ? just ao?. ot the
trouble that cats has caused
me nearly all my life. It just
?eema like they are destined
?> make my life a misery
Irom here on out.
The one at the house, the
most worthless piece of fe
?esh 1 ever saw. Is solid
"mite, with one blue eye,
end one yellow one, and stone
deef. He'll go and get lost
my little girl'll insist
Wen01?- 1^Ung ,or Mm
Well, since he can't hear
It thunder, it don't do no
good to holler "here kitty.
Utty." We just have id hunt
him through the bushes and
the briars. Ever time he gets
lost 1 hope we won't find him
end that he can't find his way
back ? but. we've still got
him. *
The ones we had when I's
a growing ig> all lived on table
scraps, the rats and mice they
caught, an a bate of fresh
cow's milk ever once In a
while. They all stayed sleek
an fat on that diet.
But this one, this ole white
cat, won't touch none of that.
No sir. Only the best, most
expensive, canned cat food
an canned milk for him. And
I ve had to take the sorry
piece of plunder to the cat
doctor I just don't know at
the times. And that's some
thing you'da been laughedoutta
the community for doing back
when I's a boy. We never used
a vet for nothing smaller*n a
cow or a mule.
An talking aboutourolecats
getting a bate of fresh cows
milk ever now an then, they got
It a lot oftener than that. In
fact, ever time I went to milk
ever cat we had headed for the
"?^wlth me, justa meowing
and begging. Cats atour house
never missed a milking.
I'll never forget this ole
mammy cat we had. She'd sit
"P 00 her hind legs and open
her mouth and I'd squirt the
milk in her mouth. I got pretty
good at that, too. I's pretty
accurate, got so I could hit
her in the mouth with about
3 outta 4 squirts. The rest
of the cats I just hit them with
It wherever I could. By the
time I finished milking there
was hardly a dry hair on a cat
we had ? cept this one ole
mammy cat. and then they all
had a Ucldng good time. We
had the finest looking, shin
iest haired bunch of cats in
the neighborhood. We shoulda
after **'? how many cats
will you find that has a fresh
3 milk shampoo twice a
day? Evelyn, this cat loving
sister of mine, used to say
I s trying to drown 'em. I
used to ask her If she's so
worried about 'em that she
wanted to do the milking. She
wasn't THAT worried.
I used id think that Toms
would always leave id do
their tom-cattln but this ole
sorry one of ours don't. He
invites 'em to his house, 1
mean MY house. That's the
plain honest - l? - goodness
truth.
Can you remember what an
eerie racket they used to
make, when you were a kid,
when they were flghtin?I reck
on thafs what they were doing.
Well, when 1 heard it I'd Just
cover up head 'n ears.
Thafs the racket I listen
ed to last night from about
1:00 to 2:00 a.m., and it was
in my basement. Back winter
before last 1 had to cut a
hole In the garage door for
my ole cat, so he could get
In and out. Well, he'd done
taught his lady friend where
that hole was, and thafs how
she got in.
This serenade didn t show
any signs of lettin up so at
2:00 o'clock 1 got up to put
a stop ID It. Soon as 1 opened
the basement door here came
Miss, I mean Mrs. Mammy
cat up the steps. 1 grabbed
my britches off a chair and
threw "em at her, scattering
my change, pocket knife, and
keys all over the basement
floor. She beat a hasty re
treat. and I said a few words,
but never mind what.
I thought this would end all
the fuss, flggering she'd go
to her house and that Old
Salf would go with her. Wrong
both ways. So. I got my flash
light and my hometown news
paper. which 1 hadn't read,
and headed for the basement.
I rolled my newspaper tgt to
swat 'em with and began look
ing for 'em.
They musta had guilty con
sciences cause they both
started running, an me rite
after 'em. The first time a
round Mrs. Cat run out the
bole, but Old Salt passed rite
on by. I kept swattln at.him
with my paper and chasing
him, and he's a naming an a
squalling Ilka I's a killing
him an I missed him ever
time 1 swung at him.
Finally, after about the six
th rotaid he went out the hole
nut gbeid of my nowspipor.
Then 1 begin to assess the
damage he'd caused: I had
fall down twice and skint
both knees. 1 had broken my
flashlight whan I fell die first
Ami, tore ?g> my hometown
r, and there was one
SO cent piece I never did find.
1 hobbled to the bathroom
,nd the medicine cabinet, pat
ched ig> my knees, and went
?ck to bad. There wasn't a
