down to the coffee shop for a snack, and ran into TOM STEIN who is one of the big shots at the 'City Hall. He told us that JOHN SAWYER was Editor of the Courier- Journailj' carrying it on a fine way. TOM with the same big-shot air, promised us a police escort around town, but we are still waiting. We left the coffee shop to go up to the ballroom to attend the first meeting. At the entrance, there was a small group talking over old times which BILL and I joined for a few minutes. I learned that JOHN TATUM is living in Lexington, Kentucky, in order that he wonlt miss any of the college dances. ED MORTON, who has never departed with that quiet way of his, is practicing law down at Pole-Cat Hollow. E. C. HOAGLAND is still around town, and, believe it or not, QI can'tJ, he is the only one accounted for that is a bachelor. He gave several excuses for this, but none bore much weight, and he was razzed even more. A heavy rap of the gav-el told us the meeting had started, so we took seats just inside the door. Looking around to recognize the different faces, I saw HUNT CRAW- FORD fwho just published a volume of short storiesj, presiding over the meeting, FARREL BRADY, who is working on a government dam down the Ohio, and RUDY KEELING fa teacher at Male, and coach of J. VJ, strutting an old H which he had no doubt dug out from his old keepsakes. TOM SHEA in his best uniform with all his insignia polished plainly, showed he was a captain in the army. JAY LEO ROST fwho is running for principal of Halleck Hall on the communist ticketj, with a radical thought in mind, jumped to the floor, but was immediately put in his place by JIM F INLEY and BILL WAREINQG fwho won the Olympic pole-vault awardj who re- membered him from way back. When all was quiet, GEORGE SCHUSTER fthe new Tyrone Powerj, told RUSSEL GRESHAM, who is still working on his liberal arts-law-commerce degrees, a joke which sent him into hysterics. To top this off, who should stroll in but JIM POPE, who ha.s been married tand divorced, of coursej six times, in an outfit that would make f'Esquire look old and out of place. It has been rumored about, that once a year, ROIST, POPE, and BISHOP get together and play practical jokes and cynicize on each other. In an inconspicuous corner, could be seen GEORGE BRITE MERCHANT, M. D., discussing the most recent social activities with his fellow doctors. The gathering disbanded with the agreement that we would meet downstairs for ra final chat. In the lobby all were gathered in small groups. I made it a point to go from group to group hoping to speak to some of the fellows which I had not had a chance to do any sooner. ANDREW SEA, who writes the Dorothy Dix column folr the 'Louisville Daily Scoop, QDAVID FOWLER is editorj, was in a deep argument with JIM BOSTAIN who keeps track of all the alumniis blessed events in the aforemen- tioned paper, over some Latin phrases, which had to be settled by WILSON GITTLE- MAN, who proved to be the only scholar in the entire group, but this is easily under- stood as he is a professor at the University of Louisville. In another group, JIM La PLANT E was trying to convince LOUIS HERRMANN that a Plymouth could outrun a Ford. LOUIS, completely disgusted, invited JIM out to his home for a game of badminton, to offset the possible loss of temper. Time passed so fast that before I realized it, I had but thirty minutes to catch my plane. Only taking time to gather up my belongings, I hurried to the airport with- out telling many good-byes. Relaxing as soon as I boarded the plane, I began to piece together in my mind as near as possible, what had happened in these two days. It seemed as though I were ten years younger, when I thought of all those faces which, for fifteen years, I had not seen. After about an hour of deep thought, I fell asleep only to awake when we landed at Minong. When I reached my office, I read ont the door, NB. J. WOODS, Attorney at Law. With an inspiration to work harder and achieve more I opened the door to start anew with ten years off my chest. -Billy Woods, Class Prophet, 1938. Twenty The Bulldog
