S. with the idea of sailing for four years through the atmosphere of education and knowledge . We found it very difficult to adjust ourselves at first to the life in the craft, but after several mistakes had been corrected, we learned how to do what was expected of us. f - Max Jones was selected as the pilot and his assistants were: Robert Galbreath, Francis Jordan, and Lemuel Ferguson. It was decided that we should take with us three skilled mechanics, Misspjones, Mr. Sarig, and Mr. Thompson qualified. One day .as we were sailing over Kid Land , we noticed swings, teeters, and kiddiejcarsg these tempted us away from our daily work, which had become rather tiresome. We landed and had our plane inspected by other mechanics, who helped us enjoypour Kid Party. Some one discovered a wagonfload of stickfcandy and bar- nanas-we soon disposed of these. We were invited to stay on the earth to witness a football game. Max Jones was able to make the varsity eleven g FloydiDorris made his letter, and Robert Galbreath and Lemuel 'Ferguson earned numerals. ' . Page Thirty-four

The Freshmen Follies of 1930f31 was very successfully presented by several boys who appeared as Hulafhula dancers and Chorus girls . Cinderella also appeared before the onflookers. I Several times we found it necessary to land as some of our group felt that they must leave us. Cn one of these occasions we stayed for another party. In the first year of our flight we have had many interesting and new experif ences. We ho-pe that the thirtyffive that remained with us will feel that their ex- periences of this year will make them want to take off again in the fall of 1931. ' Page Thirty-five
