PROPHECY At last! After 10 long years in the army we have received our first Eur- lough. So what do we do but head back to dear old Decatur to see some of our old boyhood haunts. As we got off the train, we called a cab, and who should be driving but Jack Adams, who runs his own company now-Adams Autogyro Air Cab Company. After alighting in front of the Candler Hotel, which, by the way is now owned by Virgil Cantrell, we immediately headed for good old D. B. H. On the way we stopped at Hicks' Horticultural House to buy Pinky English, the Freshman English teacher, a flower to present as a peace offering to certain lady teachers. As we sauntered up the walk, who should greet us but Alonzo Buckler, principal of the school. He asked us to walk to the shops with him to see his new janitor, Scotty Candler. Passing through the school, we saw Robert Ledbetter, the Trig teacher, still trying to pound some math in the head of his prize pupil, Harold Hudgins. We strolled into the C1lee Club room where Arthur Kirkman and Billy Boyd were teaching music to some of the song-birds. At the doors of Chapel we paused to listen a moment to a talk by Dr. Mark Gutzke, a great evangelist, and Harlan Brown, now America's greatest orator and recently crowned King of the Ether Waves. Lt. Bobby Graves, our P. M. S. 29' T., was busy trying to get Sgt. Instructor, Ed. Wilson, to do some work. We left the school after paying our respects to the football coach, Rich- ard Plampin, who had played on the same championship team as Jim Richard- son, Charlie Rey, and Jim Tuggle. On the street we passed Billy Anderson pushing a baby carriage with his twins, Billy and Patsy. We continued on up to the Denton Photographers, where Dick was taking pictures of those two stars of screen and radio, Jack Dunn and Billy Hodges. Coming out we saw that Casanova of all Casanovas, John Glover, going to have his picture taken to give it to another one of his many girls. Going into the court house we saw Sheriff Billy Smith and Judge John Weitnauer, who as usual, were doing nothing but talking to the Chief-of-Police, Frank Staley. We turned on the radio and heard that great swing band of Schlirf and Hollis, who are still looking for their long- lost drummer, Billy Hipkins. We walked over to the Ranch, now operated by Ranchman I-Iames, and ordered some drinks from soda-jerks Haskell Reese and Chester Harmistead. On the way over to the city newspaper office, we observed Walter Austin and Joe Martin raising the flag on the Court Square, their only job now. We didn't stay long at the newspaper office because Editor Ravenel was blessing out Russell Whaley, the gossip columnist, for not bringing in the scoop on the latest escapade of Mack Freeman, Decatur's man of many experiences.
