lxfs.zg,-A LOG OF THE EHS '34 gpfxf-slNf This long stratosphere flight was a rare combination of hardship, danger, romance, adventure and science. It cannot help but appeal to the ambitions and hopes of the coming Seniors of the future. To BILL C1,1-:Vi-,u, the expedition leader, and his aides, Lister, Baltz and Deputy, the personnel of the E. H. S. '34 owes an enduring debt of gratitude for the successful flight. THE UND12Rc1,,AssMIiN, who did not get a chance to make the journey this year, envied them, for it was the essence of adventure. RICE E. BROWN, CIOIIZIIILIIYIIUV. This log is the official record of the stratosphere flight of the good ship E. H. S. '34. The scribes of the log had dictographs secretly installed throughout the ship by the means of which, choice bits of gossip were picked up and record log-fashion on the right-hand page, while the columns on the left are devoted to the official records and data of the flight-the conduct of the crew, mutiny, convictions and the scientific observations of the Cosmic Ray, together with the recordings of the latitudes of grades and the longitudes of knowledge. FRIDAY, SEPT. 8, 1933- Day spent packing baggage and securing tickets. Local meteorologists report favorable weather for the ascension next Monday. MONDAY, Sept. 11, 1933- Vfeather clear. Commander Brown sig- nalled for the departure of the E. H. S. '34 at 8:10 a. m. Take-off accomplished without great mishap. FRIDAY, Sept. 8- Scribes were cruising along the halls. George Scharenberg traipsed to the Registrar's office and said, Guess you've put me in the wrong cabin, Miss Kahnf, What have you, 29A? she asked. UNO, that's quite all right -at least it's the one you're signed up for. Is there something the matter with it? No, I just didn't expect overstuffed furniture and such an elegant room, George dazedly replied. MONDAY, Sept. 11- Tommy Nixon crashes the gate and makes the balloon bv climbing the guy rope as the craft slowly lifts. His great weight caused the gondola to oscillate wildly. When the Prewitt twins were taken to the office to be identified, it was discovered that Carl was slipping through without a ticket. During the interview in Mr. Brown's cabin, Bill spoke up, I don,t think it's fair, I've had to buy two tickets and Carl not any. FRIDAY, Oct. 2- End of the third week of the flight.

Air pocket-severe jolts experienced. Grade cards out. FRIDAY, Oct. 2- After we had been up three weeks, Harold Irey made a sign that he was hungry again and a French chef fired up and condensed the fog as did one of Howard Deputy's Flames, creating a dainty morsel for Harold. FRIDAY, Oct. 20- The Up and At,em's have made a new dis- covery-they're not flying blind any more. Let's be romantic on this trip, said Arthur Clausen to Margaret Moon in the moonshine. FRIDAY, Nov. 10- Just another period of smooth sailing. THURSDAY, Nov. 30- Rate of climb indicator shows satisfactory progress. Passed the borderline of gravity. Rogers fell out. FRIDAY, NOV.
