MITCHEM
From 1A
"I saw something once that.
was big and round and had lots
of lights onit," Mitchem said. "It
might have been a balloon."
Modern marvels like TV
don't impress Mitchem much.
The content of televison pro-
gramming causes her much dis-
tress. She does have a place in
her heart for old-time radio.
"There's too much ugly stuff
on television for me to watch it.
If people read the Bible, they'll
see what it all means." said
Mitchem. "But I do remember
how much fun we used to have
listening to the radio."
Though Mitchem never held
a job in a factory or office, her
working life has been helping
others. For many years she
cooked and did domestic work
for several Kings Mountain
families. Cooking was always
one of her talents.
"I like to cook," Mitchem said.
"I can cook a little bit of every-
thing."
Besides cooking, Mitchem
has musical talent as well.
Playing the tambourine in the
Kings Mountain Senior Center
band has given her the chance
to show off that talent, and do a
bit of traveling as well.
"Oh, we traveled all over
with the band," Mitchem said.
"We went down to Wilmington,
and Columbia, South Carolina

and we went to the mountains
too. I saw the biggest tree I be-
lieve I ever saw in my life in
Wilmington. We ate dinner one
night down there on a ship."
When asked about the differ-
ence between the way the
world is today, and the way it
was nearly a century ago,
Mitchem is quick to answer.
"People back then was kinder
and took care of one another,"
Mitchem said. "If one got in
trouble, then everyone would
help them out. You wasn't
scared back then either. At
night in summer we kept the
doors open and just put a chair
in front of it to keep the dog
Sout.”
Modern day child rearing is
another subject that Mitchem
has strong opinions on.
"The parents these days don't
sit their children down often
enough for a talk," she said.
"Sometimes the kids need a lit-
tle spanking too. Most kids
nowadays have just got too
much stuff."
These points and others lead
Mitchem to worry about where
the world is heading in the next
millennium.
"If you read the Bible, things
that it talks about in the end
days are happening right now,"
she says. "Just look at all the
storms and such. Of course, no
one but God knows the exact .
end day."
After nearly a century of liv-
ing, Mitchem takes things a bit
easier. Helping her is step-
daughter Virginia Gordon. A
typical day for Mitchem involve
Bible reading, looking at maga-
zines, and a little bit of walking
around the house.
Living to be 100 years old is
quite a feat. Seeing how young
Alma Mitchem looks for her
age, and how quick her wit still
functions is even more impres-
sive. Anyone with thoughts of
following in those footsteps
might heed one last bit of her
advice to "get work and plenty
of it."

* For the Linville Manor seniors; Traywick’s
shearing demonstration brought back memories of
farm days long ago.
“I think he’s great,” said 70-something Leroy
Mayes. “I grew up on a farm and we had lots of
~ animals, but I don’t think I would like to try to clip
that big ram.”
Droves of students, moms, and dads from the
Hedge Farm for a wooly day.
“I've never seen anything like this before,” said
six-year-old Lydia Eaker. “I like the way the wool
feels, but it must be a hard job to get it.”
Eleven-year-old Samuel Mills thought the sheep
shearing process was “pretty neat.”
Home school mothers were also keen on the
Blackberry Hedge Farm experience.
“We try to have field trips as often as possible,”
said Libby Eaker. “This trip was especially good

Pulling together like a family,
the students and staff at Kings
Mountain High began making
and preparing memorials.
"The students made note-
books where they wrote memo-
rials and signed their names,"
said Principal Phil Weathers.
"The also took up donations to
help the family and to purchase
flowers. The students raised
$450 in just one day. Other.
plans include planting a tree in
Clayton's memory."

The sense of community that
binds everyone at Kings

even more strongly during this

"The student body really
came together over this,"
Weathers said. Everyone has
had a hard time dealing with it.
It has not been a normal school

As the flags in front of Kings
