Last September a group of freshmen, filled with high hopes, sailed out from port on their first vo-yage on the gallant vessel Aurora, From that time the students of '34 have entered whole-heartedly into the task of steering the ship into harbor successfully, and have become bound together by the beautiful something known as The Aurora College Spirit. The first social function was known as blind-date night, and was made memorable by uncertainty. Next on the calendar came the new students' reception, which will remain one of the vivid memories of the freshman year., Being formally accepted into the heart of the college 'is a trying event. After the ordeal of being introduced to the line of people in the main hall at Eckhart was over, everyone went up to the Gym where ice cream was served. . When the class celebrations began the freshman flag waved high on Sophomore Day, thus .defiantly symbolizing to the world that the ancient enemy of the frosh -the sophomores-had been .conquered on their own ground. When Freshman Class Day came around the traditional steak fry was held in the early morning. But joy is followed by sorrow-so the 'pessimistic say+and when the girls returned to the dormitory theyfound their mattresses high in the trees, and their rooms in chaos. Near the beginning of the year the juniors entertained the freshmen at a Kid Party. In return .on Friday, December 5, the freshmen were hosts to the juniors at a party' held in the Gym at Eckhart. D The class of '34 has been sincere in its effort to gain knowledge, but it has also been enthusiastic in its support of athletics and other extra-curricular activities. Its members demonstrated their dramatic ability when Her Step Husband a three act comedy, was presented in Lowry Chapel, Friday, March 20. The unanimous verdict of those that saw the play was that it was the most amusing and well pro- duced performance that. had been presented in a long time. , Very soon the class of '34 will have come to the end of the first voyage and today will have become a memory. The disappointments will be forgotten and there will be only happy remembrances: Our youthful and cocky pride will be tem- pered and deepened-but never changed. We have already discovered Treasure Island-andthe treasure we found to be the healthy balance of work and please ure-and companionship. Tomorrow will bring the promise of other happy voy- ages-and we will sail out from port with all our canvasses full of wind, and the sun on the masts. - ' And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover,- And a quiet sleep, and a sweet dream, when the long trick's over. - ROSALIE SMITH. n.:x.A.Jv .-fg4.4,Av4.A.4.A. 9 3 ..,,,,,,,,,, -tfwentyrsefveun
