Well, she had married. him, but she was the success and he was the man of two words, Yes dear. After bidding them goodbye, I went to Chicago to see the game. I had pur- chased my ticket and found my seat, when the game started. When the one team went out on the field and the pitcher stepped on the mound, I recognized who he was It was my other schoolmate at Morley in '47, Dick Switzer. After the game I went to see him and congratulated him on his pitching. He pitched just as he did in '47, Yes he pitched a losing game, but I congratulated him, anyhow. He was very gald to see me and to hear about Ruth Eloise. He told me his story of how he got into the Big Leagues and how he was progressing. I asked him if he had married. He said: Yes, I married a year ago and have two children, a boy and a girl. This made me think, how could that be, two children in one year. Twins, he said. It runs in my wife'u family . Then it came to me that he went with one of the Achenbach twins, Joyce, Ibelleve. I asked him whom he married. He said, Well, here she comes . When I turned, I expected to see Joyce, but to my surprise, it was her twin, jean Achenbach. After I got over my sur- prise, they invited me to their home, but I told them I had to leave for home. At this point 1 awoke and found my-self back at my desk, still in the Senior Class of '4-7. Well, this is my story. You can believe it or not.

Those things we do give and devise to the above mentioned, to have and to hold here and hereafter. Should any heir to this will, in any way, shape or form, make himself unworthy of the benefits to be derived from it, he shall carry the curse of a big splotch for the rest of his normal life. Thus, do we complete our last will and testament. Unchanged it shall remain to be closely and fiercely guarded by Miss Mille:-'s enormous watch dog, Tr lxie. PROPHECY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF '11-7 I was sitting at my desk thinking of what I was going to write for the prophecy. l was weary so I laid my head down on my desk and very soon I was asleep. I don't know how long I slept, but when I awoke my troubles were over because I had been drearnlng. All l had to do now was to write the drea.m on paper, and I would have the prophecy of the class.
