CClass Prophecy Cont.l I noticed he had n very different kind of paint on his car and he said his head chemist, Carl Eg5,one of our classmates,had experimented and developed e paint that shed all dirt. This discovery had set Carl off to a good start and he was now working on tires that would not wear out. I decided I had taken a long enough vacation, so I went to the telegraph office to send a telegram to my orchestra to inform them that I was returning. Imagine my surprise when I recognized the tele- grapher as Donny Huffman. He said he had been offered jobs in NewYork City as a telographer, but he wanted to stay in his home town and be with his folks. On my way back to my orchestra, I had a stop-over in Chicago. As I was standing on the station platform I noticed 2 sailors and 8 coast guardsmen approaching the train. As they came closer, I recognized them es Pete Graf and Martin Heckler, the seilorsg and RobertStearns Eugene Schlotz, and Bill Kuhlmen, the ooastguardsmen. They had been discharged and were making tracks for home. After meeting some of my schoolmates and finding out where therest were, I was very much at ease. ---Chester Brown
