What a joy to be out of grammar school, but with that joy came the sorrow of being lowly freshmen. We were told of the awful horrors the upperclassmen enforced on the freshmen. So we walked blocks out of our way to avoid them. We got quite a bit of track practice keeping away from these horrible creatures. A new teacher, Mr. Huie, taught us the fundamentals of math and how to keep a math notebook. We learned from Miss Barrett that Latin is not a dead language, but a deadly one. Mr. McKneely and Mr. Allain tried to pound a little English into our thick skulls. Besides learning civics from Mr. Martin, we were shown a few football plays. Mr. Baskin informed us in science that the stuH we had been drinking was HQO. Stunt Night rolled around and we, the freshmen, showed everyone that really we were someone by capturing second place. By the time Christmas Holidays came we were most assuredly ready to get away from the drudgery of school. We soon learned the art of study- ing, or shall we say, studying as little as possible and still passing. We struggled through the last quarter exams, and those of us who were still sane left good old D. B. H. for a nice three months' rest. By September, we felt that maybe we were ready to try to struggle through another nine months of school. This time the scene was diEerent, now we were Sophomores. We were the hounds and the poor freshmen were the hares. We were the chasers and not the chased. We donned military uniforms and became cadets under Captain Leverett, who was later called to active duty and replaced by Lieutenant Hooker. We again tackled Latin under Miss Barrett. Mr. McKneely and Miss Culver were our English II teachers. Once every quarter we assembled the much talked about English notebooks. By the tune of the hickory stick, we learned from Mr. Culver why X times Y is equal to XY. Mr. Scott, with biology, familiar-ized us with how the human body worked. Some of us slipped in a few commercial subjects under Mr. Kirkpatrick. Again the class of '44 showed up as good actors by taking first place in Stunt Night. Time flew, in a manner of speaking, and summer vacation reared its head. With half of our high school education finished, unless you count the senior year double. we returned to school with high hopes. The main event this year was the Junior-Senior. How hard we worked to make this Junior'Senior the traditional Best the school has ever had. And we humbly admit that we lived up to this statement. The judges of Stunt Night prophesying the future and considering the future, and not wanting to give the class of '44 all the honors, gave us no favorable decision. Some of us being non-coms were proud to go to the Military Ball and a few attended the Sergeants' Breakfast. A few of the fortunate boys were elected to the National Honor Society. In the third year spelling we learned the true meaning of Caveat Emptor, let the buyer beware. This summer there was a dif- ferent picture. We had jobs to look forward to. So we set out to make our fortunes. At a long last our dreams were realized. We could now be called the historical phrase, the bald headed row. We were SENIORS. To our pleasant surprise when we walked into 311 to take our English IV, we had a man teacher, Mr. MeKneely. There was a special class for home economics so the boys could make good wives for the WACS and WAVES when they have won this war. Mr. Haymore being gone, Mr. Huie took over physics and did a good job of it. Besides being Seniors some of us were Cadet Oiiicers. They could now tell other people what to do. Some of us came to school half-dressed, namely, still with our pajama tops on. We were dealt with accordingly. Though with only one day 's practice, the class of '44 again came out on top in Stunt Night. We enjoyed the Junior-Senior very much, but of course it wasn't as good as the one we put on. Plans for the Annual were disrupted and we were nearly driven crazy, that is if we weren't already crazy. But it did at last go to press. This year we did more studying than the other three years combined. But finally with plenty of struggle we completed the journey through our four years of high school and obtained our 175 units. D. B. H. has made a permanent impression on our minds. We will always look back on it with fond memories. Now that we have finished school, we've got to go out and help straighten the terrible mess this world is in. But always we will remember good old D. B. H. and the wonderful times we have had here.

Some familiar faces were missing, such as Neighbor Brown, Alan Shelton, Duke Harvill, Alonzo Buckler, Ed Leslie, and Lamar Ferrellg all these boys were in the service. Practice began with morning drills in shorts and afternoon drills in full togs, six days a week. The pace seemed pretty hard at first, but it paid off in the end. Decatur started off with a bang, improving through the season, and lost only to North Fulton, which was the upset of the year. Decatur Fulton . . Decatur Russell. . Decatur College Park Decatur Athens . . Decatur Marist . . Decatur . . Gailesville . Decatur Spalding . Decatur Griffin . . Decatur North Fulton Decatur LaGrange . Decatur Commercial Totals: Decatur-269 Opponents-32 Games Won-10 Games Lost-1 Decatur proved they had a. good team by placing seven on the All-N. G. I. C. Team and nine on the All-City Team, this being more on both teams than any other team in the conference. At the end of the season the Bulldogs were rewarded with a big banquet at the Henry Grady Hotel, given by the Decatur Parents' Athletic Association. The Association rewarded seventeen players with gold footballs. The fathers also presented a gift to Coach Badgett. Several outstanding coaches attended the banquet and entertained the boys. To top off the football season the Decatur Elks had a dinner for the boys. And how they do feed! All our ex-players who are in the service now have expressed, at one time or another, the value of the training they received from football. Some have said they couldn't have lasted without it. We surely have missed these boys and we wish them all the luck in the world. Decatur put out a fine boxing team this year under Mr. Wetzel. The bouts, however, were limited because of the rarity of opponents. ln spite of this, several intramural bouts were held and furnished the fans plenty of excitement. The Rinkydinks' Basketball Team had a successful season this year and improved greatly during the season. The Boys' High Tennis Team maintained its customary level of playing. This team has won the district championship twice in succession. Coach Hadgett, in his second year of coaching basketball, turned out an- other championship team. The boys took the Fifth District winning, a trip to the State Tournament. A beautiful trophy was presented to the team after they defeated their old rival, Druid Hills in the finals. 4.0 The 1944 Caveat Emptor Ill llll - il E .15 T 'UN' 5 ,Q-wg T fx The 1944 Caveat Emptor 1 The 1.944 Caveat Emptor Contrary to from active life.

On the train we ran into Robert Karlsen and Billy Merritt who are conductors. They showed us to the lounge car where we turned on the radio and listened to that great comedian, Tyronne fA.C.j Allen, and his co-worker, Paul Hanna, who does impersonations of famous women. We passed Joe Alexander, working on the railroad, as we were nearing Atlanta. Pulling i11 on schedule we met the station master, Joe Botdorf. As Joe helped us find our bags, we bought a newspaper from Ed Todd, Cpoor boy, depression hit him hardl. We sec by our newspaper that William L. Young is coming along quite well in his candidacy for President. His campaign manager is Wheat Williams, who now owns half of the real estate on Manhattan. Also on the front page, we read that Dr. Ross Goddard, LLD., Ph.D., M.D.. Th.D., also P.M.S.8vT., has just been promoted to head of the English Department at Harvard. While riding in our cab, our driver, George Mayer, pointed out some points of interest. There's the Post Office Building-Jack Byrd, Postmaster General. Over there across the street is the noted physicist, Dr. Charles Green-ing's laboratory. On riding past a. dignified, cultured looking gentleman, we asked our driver who he wasp the driver replied, Oh! that 's Walter KBuddyj King, Vice-President of Georgia Power Co. While driving to Decatur, we passed through East Lake and stopped to visit its mayor, Jack Higginbotham. Mayor Higginbotham gave us a police escort to Ingram Hotel, one of chain of hotels that is owned by Don. Ingram. We passed Jack Scott working in Dow'man's Drug Store. After a good night 's rest, we decided to look over the old town and D. B. H. Who is the first pe1'son that we seebut the Chief of Police, Tommy Barfleld, calling down one of his men, Frank Denobriga, for not helping Amelia Waters Cthat's Ford's little girlj ac1'oss the street. Ford, by the way, is a successful M.D. with private offices on Clairmont Ave. We move on and notice the new Claud Kimibrell Super Market. Claudis out of town on business, to see if he can get some honey to sell from that big bee man, Louis Abele. Across from Kimbrell's is Preston Rose 's Studio. He is now a well known commercial artist, with his assistant, Billy Oliver, doing most of the work. They have just finished a job for the Hudgins' and Williams' Airlines, Inc. Harold and George were among the first to produce the autoplane designed by the great designer, Lynn Legarde. Lynn had his office systematized by Davis Moore, efficiency expert. Ed lWinohe'llj Williams says in his column in the Deoatur Tribune and over 800 other papers that those million dollar playboys, Marion Weaver, and Frank Staley have returned from their voyage around the world, and are now residing in Miami. Now playing in the Biscayne Bandshell in Miami is Larry KSousa2 Werber and his concert band. Joe Jolly is taking lessons from Mr. Werber so that he can give his Decatur Boys' High Band higher instruction. As we progress on our tour, we notice something new. The Sehley Cragg Tourist Co.- Mountain Vacations our Specialty. On walking past his window, we see that his Decatur Agent is Fleetwood Hassell. On the street we ran into Laurence Cox who is now a car salesman. He told us that Dan Cooper 's wife had just given birth to her third set of triplets. He said that they were still trying to get Dan sober. One of his last ear sales was to Tom Fountain, the famous dancing expert. Tom is in town. to have his picture taken by the world-famous photog- rapher, Bill Ballenger, who has taken the pictures of such men as: John. Stillwell, U. S. Am' bassador to Englandg Gene Fuller, Governor of Georgia, and Walter fllffiekeyj Baker, World 's golfing champion. We make our way down the hill towards the high school. We pass the Jew Store Cwhich hasn't changed a bitl and we see William Underwood, Algebra teacher, and Richard Miller, Trig. professor, drinking coca colas. Entering the school, we were greeted by the Principal, 0. L. Ayers. After the fire drill, we walked around the building. Charles Lewis is civics teacher. Mrs. Griffin is now in the insane asylum after ten years of teaching civics. Down to the Military Dept. we went to find Lt. Bill Cayfey listening to the news on his radio, while Sgt. Emery White is sorting out the demerits for the day. Out on the field we see Coach Palmer Ferguson telling Billy Hodges, quarterback, how to run a play. When we went back into the school, Mr. Ayers showed us the Alumni Book which he has kept up to date. From its worn pages we got the following information: Ed Wilson is a minister in a large New York church. Bill Barnes and Louis Swayze are street car operators around Atlanta. Victor Manget is a commander in the navy, working in Washington as aide to the President. The Decatur Funeral Home is now run by Ottis Etheridge and Milton Cauender. Kelly Brooks now owns the largest barber shop in Los Angeles. John Baker and Theron Chewning have their own orchestras and play over nation-wide hookups. Getting a great deal of publicity lately is Ernest Bangs who disproved the Einstein theory of molecular construction. Bassett, Blaisdell, and Branch, lawyers, are doing a land CContinued on page 763 The 1944 Caveat Emptor 4.5 PRISON LOG A day-by-day account of the happenings within the walls of dear old Decatur Boys' High.

The Physics ward was found to be watched over by Guard Sparky Huie and English IV by Keeper McKneely. What a stretch! Bunch of new inmates are looking forward to escape before their four-year year term is up. Life termers hoping for parole in June. Just think! Only 9 months, 19 days, 23 hours, and 16 minutes and we 'll be out of the calaboose. Big day in exercise yard-permanent cadet trusties appointed. The inmates' football outfit began glorious season by defeating the Fulton Safe- Crackers, 39 to 0. ' The PSD and STD Gun Molls' Societies up at Matron Burt's institution hold initiations. What a mess! The first Squealer appears. Several convicts placed in solitary because of certain remarks made by Stool Pigeon Williams. Make-up exam week for life-termers. Eight lifers find they must repeat General Science. Oh, well-just the fourth time. Leg show. Inmate Oliver noses out Keeper McKneely to take first place. Is he really part ape? ' Rationing-Life termers do well with help of Burt 's Butchers. Rumor has it that the Guards and Keepers also do well. Decatur inmates versus Gainesville Murderers. Score at final whistle, DBHI 4-5, GM 0. The gals from the ladies' ward have Stunt Night. Life Termers place second. Keeper Cobb, in charge of Exercise Yard, is promoted to Assistant Warden. Keeper McKneely explains to the life termers why the guy who pulled all the murders in the Macbeth case was caught and finally got the hot seat. Crime does not pay. Guard Huie late for duty in the Trig Shop. Inmates revolt and are dealt with accordingly ' '. Mild spirit of rebellion appears. Life terme1's wear pajamas around the cell blocks. Guards do not agree with this fashion-especially Guard Huie. Badgett's Mob defeats Griffin Grave-Diggers for eighth straight win. The Mob is defeated by the North Fulton Beer Runners. However, the Mob is still rated as one of the best teams. The gals from the ladies' ward sling a ship-wreck dance. Boy! Those costumes. Inmates get a show on the care of the teeth from the State Health Department. This was given in assembly called by Warden Loudermilk. The prison song birds put on a program for inmates. Inmate Hinson springs a tonsil. Football season ends with contest with Commercial Grafters. Score, 31-0. Mass prison break. All inmates escape. Inmates caught. Even jailbirds have right to Thanksgiving holidays. Picture on tuberculosis shown. Prisoners find that it is unhealthy to drink beer. Life termers start on stunt-try out first stunt, second stunt, and third stunt. Keeper McKneely and Jailer Pat in charge. Still no stunt. First gleam of genius appears at dress rehearsal. Lifers practice stunt all day, then win first place with minstrel show. Convict Williams put in solitary confinement for fiunking solid geometry re-exam. Big day for Badgett's Mob. Inmates' football outdt given big banquet with many famous wardens and keepers present. Jailer Big Bill Badgett honored. Santa Claus due tonight. Many long termers hang up stockings with a note re- questing a few simple items. First on the list were hacksaws, 45's, razors, and blackjacks. Due to bad weather Cso we were told by Warden Loudermilkj Santa still had not arrived. Still no Santa. Anyway, we didn 't think he would climb through the spaces be- tween the bars. Gun Moll Societies give formal shindig. Many wear Umonkey suits for first time and find they were correctly named. Two prisoners escape and visit Mr. Huie, but trip is unsuccessful. Guns jam.

The detour to California on the way back was his own idea. Several convicts hear from Manget-learn that he plans to return for parole in June. Badgett's Dribblers win first basketball game to open season. Guards usher prisoners into assembly for N.H.S. CNut House Societyl induction. All enjoy speech made by Commissioner Sutton. X-Ray pictures made of inmates and guards show most of the jailers, keepers, guards, and matrons to be heartless. Cadet trusties select dames to be presented to their respective prisoners on an- nual Exercise Yard Night. Life termers get out of the pen to have pictures made for Caveat Emptoir. Prison- ers Mayer and Ramsey try to pull a Manget but, due to an efficient dragnet planned by Executor Culver, are captured. Rebellion planned when life termer learn they arc to be issued one hundred 1917 rifles for training in the Exercise Yard, but plans were dropped when they learn that no ammunition is to accompany them. Physics ward visited by Matron Yeomans of P1'ison System, Light Division. Re- quests of prisoners to conduct class in the dark is refused. Baker 's Barbarians, led by Gangster Allain, play for inmates in chapel, and are surprised when none of the prisoners leave. Reason is plain when they see the .50 calibers guarding- all exits. Rev. Loudermilk, cousin of our beloved Warden, speaks in assembly to us poor souls. Convict Williams flunks solid geometry re-re-exam. He is to be given one more chance to redeem himself. Convict Williams sent to Milledgeville. Group once again is ushered into assembly by guards farmed with blackjacksl for program sponsored by Lions' Club. Several inmates, in collaboration with Burt 's Butchers, plan to organize a Wolfs' Club. Decatur Dribhlers meet five Druid Hills Counterfeiters to battle for Fifth Dis- trict Trophy. They return with trophy and five scalps. Chalk artist visits prisoners to put on chalk show. Several lifers attempt a gun show but are caught, found to be undesirable, and are dealt with . Inmates from the Exercise Yard attend annual Exercise Yard Stomp. Some of the Cadet trusties were asked to park their coats outside and take their drags inside but they chose to leave their coats inside and park with their dates outside. Cadet trusties given dinner by Lions' Club. Members of club enjoy speeches made by the Cadets on such subjects as Rifle and Blackjack Markmanship, Sani- tation and Safe'Crac-king, and Drill and Escape. Inmates Robertson and Caiey are found crawling on the ward floor in Algebra looking for a square root. Transferred to Milledgeville. Just goes to show what too much study does to the brain. Life termers in charge of chapel program-plan a very entertaining ffmock escape . Guards do not catch on until too late. All the inmates escape. All prisoners are caught by dragnet thrown around Tatum 's. Mayer and Rose both show up in Physics ward on time today. Too much for Guard Huie. Long vs. Culver in Geometry ward. Nineteenth method of trisecting angle will not work. Only eight more months till Christmas. CP.S.-Santa still has not arrived.D Entire staE of institution, guards, keepers, matrons, warden, etc. Ceccentricb, are in charge of assembly. Matron Johnston leads inmates in our theme.

John Gutzke is now president of Agnes Scott College. John has five of the best looking stenographers in Georgia. Louis Jones is warden at the State Penn. Joe James is a guard there.

The play for the movie was written by Wallis Reagin. Jim Folger is a stoek broker of notable repute. His best customer is John Haley, who has just made his first billion dollars. We closed the book and thanked 0. L. for the visit. Going back to the hotel, we said goodbye to the manager, Johnny Smith, and called a cab. We passed a. sign board with a, picture of Cliff Ansley who models Jantzen Bathing Suits. We had an hour to wait for our bus so we went to the Y , While sitting in the lobby, there was a hammering and banging noise that was quite annoyingg we asked the desk clerk what all the racket was and he calmly replied: That is those two plumbers, James Stokes and Alpheus Leslie, fixing some showers downstairs. When we told him that we were from Decatur, he said that we might know two G-men, Morris Ramsey and Bobby Wilhite, who were staying there. On the bus we were surprised to see Pierce Head. He told us that he was in the Insur- ance Business. At the Rio Grande, we were shown the best views by Henry Eclwarcls and Billy Little, our guides. We were tired when we got home but were glad we had seen where all our former classmates were and what they were doing. We were, however, surprised to sec those knights of the road , Corwin Robertson and Calvin Burgess, riding under the train on their way home. Cam' WOOLSEY, Reporter.
