Spins, rolls, skids, anything to make your .hair stand on end, and all of them mastered by Chiller himself. One act in particular that I shall always remember is the one performed with a stripped down motorqple This act starts high above the stadium on a narrow ramp. Chiller guns the motor until it is full speed. Then down he comes crashing through a hoop of flame and when he is BO feet above the surface of the track, the ramp ends, with both Chiller and his cycle parachuting to safety. After the show while Jim and I were touring the plant I told him that the top of my convertible had a rip in it, but I didn't tell him how it happeded, because it was also slightly banged up due to the 'accident with Jack. I wasn't hinting of course, but by luck our next stop was at the end of the assembly line where the completed project was checked for the last time. It was here that I had the chance to pick the car of my desire. Yes, you've guessed it, a 1960 Lincoln Club Coupe' convertible with all the accessories, lights, horns, radio, everything. After thanking him for the car,-and bidding him good-bye I started off for my home, in sunny California. Well, home at last, but much to my surprise there was no food in the house, and being hungry I had to go to town, to replenish the supply. On the way back from town I stopped at the dog kennel -pick up my St. Bernard that I placed there before I left r New York, and then went onto Bailey's Fruit Market, Joel Bailey, Prop. Joel was out supervising a spraying job when I got there, so Rex Cmy dogj and I got into a jeep that was parked by the house and drove through the orchards.until we found him. While Joel was telling me how he had gotten into the fruit business, and of his large shipments to the East, Rex had been snooping around and found a puddle of spray dope at the end of the abonded nozzle and drank part of it. He ran around in circles,jumped arn barked like he was going crazy. Joel said we would have to get a veterinarian,so as I grabbed Rex and dragged him to the jeep, which Joel had al- ready turned around by this time. Off we started. Such a ride over ditches and between trees withdlow hanging branch- es. I didn't know if we would make it or not. At last we skidded to a stop and I ran to the phone. I didn't know any vets., so I called the first name in the yellow section of the phone book. R.E. Chalker, Vet., dial Hillside A081-8. I told Dr. Chalker what my trouble was and 119 fo is n ,Y I J jr Q, lei - so - QX xi? N I H HLIIBH li-.J

KProphecy - cont.D where I was. Within 10 min. he was pump1ng Rex's stomsche and gave him an antidote. Yee, ybu've guessed who the vet was, Gene Chalker. He told me that he took his 3 years of Pre-Med at Florida State College, because of the fact that his folks had moved to Florida after his graduation, but then later he finished the required L years of Med. at Illv inois State College. After graduation he had an offer in California with another veterinarian. Last year his partner died so Gene took over, and now he is successfully in busi- ness for himself. I believe, in our trip across the United States, we have CQMB in contact with every member of our graduating class of 'h9. Each one, happy and prosperous in his way, so I suggest that we do not forget the past, but use it as a guide or a stepping stone for the future we have yet to conquer. ,...QfaL HLIGH : 15555 QS .
