Phil and Billy were now preparing to enter college. Dave was already occupying a steady position in his father's shop and Paul was about to take up engineering in a school near home. Slowly but surely the almost unbroken companionship of years' duration was encroached upon by the demands the days were bringing. The boys were growing older. But I know there were still no pleasanter hours for any of them than when, on holidays and of an evening, they sometimes met again at the little green and yellow garage under the whispering elms.
