The collection was then taken and responded to liberally.
The business meeting then closed by unanimous consent.
Some pictures were taken then a hilarious game of base ball was played between the yellow socks and green skirts captained by Cedric Roof and Jack Lynch, respectably. It was a very peaceful game due to the enormous size of the empire, Louis Milton Newton, no one could argue his decisions.
After the thirty-seventh inning the game was forced to end due to a shortage of tree limbs in the woods, some having used for bats.
As the score board broke so many times it was rather doubtful which team carried off the honors but it was believed that the yellow socks had a slight edge.
However, both captains shook hand and no hard feeling were held by anyone except the President Dewitt Newton who had to be soundly spanked both because of his birthday and behavior.
The reunion then disbanded after everyone had pronounced it a successful and very happy day.
