She told us that she and her band had played at the Mardi Gras the year before. She also told us that the band had just been asked to play at the President's inaugaration, We congradulated her, and told her we had to be on our way, As we were leaving the carnival ground. We saw a racing motorist, driving a black '48 Chevy truck, coming toward us. As we watched, we realized it was none other than Kenneth Leffler. As he spun around a corner we heard him shout Watch her dig! Watch her dig! When he finally got stopped, and took off his goggles and helmet, he told us he was thinking about entering the 500 next year. He told us to look at his tracks, but when we looked we saw nothing, his excuse was that the wind and duals on the truck had erased them, We asked Kenneth if he knew where we could find our old friend and classmate Bob Snider. He said he didn't, but the last time he saw him, he was still running over to Decker to see Donna Sue, but they hadn't set the wedding date. As we were going toward D C H S we saw an old whiteheaded lady, when we looked closer we discovered it was none other then Mrs. Pauletta Litherland, our former first-grade teacher, She was in her gay nineties, she told us she had quit D C because the boys asked her for dates. The next day being Monday, we decided to spend the day at school. As we drove up .we saw an old bald-headed man in a 54 Chevy. The car still had last year's license plates. When we looked closer we discovered it was Mr. Hobert Colvin, the former 5th and 6th grade teacher, Since we were near the assembly, we saw a bald-headed man. We heard him say, Alright you guys, knock it off, When he turned toward us, we discovered it was none other than Mr. Charles Davis, our former Agriculture teacher. As we were walking down the hall, we were almost knocked down by a short. old man, although he was in his advanced years, he had black curly hair. When we recovered from our shock, we discovered it was Mr. Don Palmer.- He told us he was no longer coach at old D C H S but was coach at Indiana University, Home on vacation. Illinois State University had just beat them 107-47 which reminded him of the wonderful days at dear old D C H S. Our journey over, we each went our individual ways. 2
