junior Plateau now appeared as strange territory. Here we made our first stop, in order to take on new passengers who were to become a part of the class of Thirty' one g-with joy we welcomed the Annex Girls. As we progressed, many times we thought The Memorialite would be lost. Often the engine faltered, but, due to the ability of our Moderators,remained under control and was safely borne through atmospheric and other disturbances. Nothwithstanding its many drawbacks, the flight over junior Plateau was a pleasant one. The class of Thirtyfone was now prepared to face the most risky part of its journey-to soar over the heights of Senior Mountains, the final stretch which was to terminate in the hangar of Port Success. Several novel experiences occurred on the last lap. Even the plane had to accustom itself to its new position of dignity, the envy of all below. Floating far above, its passengers assumed their newlyfconferred honor with perfect ease. Hard and numerous were the final tasks laid upon our shoulders during this period. Besides our usual duties, we had the selection of rings and pendants, nec' essary adornments for our entrance to Port Success. We had to decide upon the style of our long desired dresses and ac uire the sheepskin Without which we could not disembark upon the fertile land of opportunity. Q Our intelligentsia-perservering characters who had been admitted into the Literary Club,-performed their exclusive duty of carrying on the work so nobly begun, of editing Spires and the Arbutus under the direction of members of the Board. What these journalists produced was a source of great edification, ad- miration and pleasure to their comrades, who enjoyed reading the contributions and loyally supported the staffs. To adorn its already unusual list, replete with achievements, the class of Thirtyfone inaugurated a new feature which was to acquaint us with the latest capabilities of numerous artists. Under proficient guidance, the Art Club ornamented 'The Memorialite, which was soaring high with scarcely a deflection in its course. The class of thirtyfone, imbued with a spirit of loyalty to The Memorialite, manifested its sentiments by enthusiastic interest in the Athletic Club. So current was this fervor and so lively was the determination to merit honor and glory for our ship, that we were awarded the pennant for achieving the greatest number of points during the season of activities. Prominent athletes of the class won their numerals and letters for their services, which they have rendered to the various teams. Glorious indeed were these achievements! At last our long-sought land loomed in sight. It was time to descend to a soil which augured stranger happenings than even Little America could offer. But the class of Thirtyfone was prepared to face the trials which awaited it, as passage on The Memorialite had familiarized it with various difficulties. We scrambled from the cockpit and bid Adieu to the sturdy Memorialite. Soon it was ready to wend its way through the serene and glorious sky again, to seek the citadels of Obstacle City,where it would be greeted by an eager and a new group of shipmates, taking passage for Port Success.
