Pilots of the purple twilight.”—Tennyson. About fifty “little argosies of magic sails” started at dawn on an August morning, in 1926, to begin a flight lasting a whole day, which is four years on the calendar of man. A few minutes after the take-off a plane, “Sopho- more,” swooped down upon us and engaged in a sham battle. We were some- what unnerved by this encounter, as we had not yet learned the mastery of our crafts. They told us fun was the cause of this warfare. A treaty was made, and the “Sophomores” continued on their way. Some of us could not handle our little planes so well as others: therefore, the laggards were left behind, each one trying in some way to fly out of the airpockets of Latin, English I and algebra. Others fell to the ground, never to be seen again. At noon we flew higher in the heavens. It seemed warm to us, because we had to work hard in order to guide our planes through the disastrous air- currents, geometry, history, biology, English II, and the languages. We are now soaring in the heavens on this cool, peaceful afternoon. As we have adapted ourselves to changing air conditions, we are now able to pass through these difficult air pockets which we encounter on our journey with less difficulty. During this afternoon we stopped several times: first, to join in a carnival: second, to give a play, “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy ; and third, to give a banquet. As we are flying in this quiet afternoon, we are thinking of the later part of the day when we shall be “pilots of the purple twilight.” Muriel Hansen Betty Glassey [2(1]
