FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 23 But we were suddenly interrupted by a policeman who came up and grufliy ordered us to move on. That voice had a familiar sound and it seemed to come from his very boots Which, I soon discovered, were about six feet from his mouth. Immediately I remembered, this was Delos Saunders, the eighth wonder of the World. Who would ever have dreamed that he would become a cop ? The next morning was Sunday morning and we started for home. When we arrived at the next town, we decided to go to church. We entered the church and sat down not noticing the preacher. When I did finally look at him,'I could scarcely believe my eyes, for there on the platform sat Ernest Kennedy, who, when he got up to stand behind the pulpit had to push a small foot stool in front of him and stand on it so that people could see him, although they certainly had no diiiiculty in hearing him. After church I turned to inquire how it happened that Ernest had ever calmed down enough to become a minister, but I found myself again alone at my own hearth. I have since wondered whether these events will really occur or if it were justa dream. DOROTHY E.
