SAINT JOHN ANNUAL VN IN bus, the noted navigator and explorer, surrounded by a court of adven- turous explorers, to greet'us. Farther upland we met Napoleon con- ferring with Frederick the Great, while Machiavelli and Talleyrand looked on smilingly. Sorrowfully We left that enchanted island of past deeds to go pay our respects to French. This land was a fascinating place, but the pronunciation and the construction proved very tricky and in many cases the French treated us cruelly. Shortly after leaving French, we were reunited by the scouting ex- pedition, and it was then that We had the greatest social affair of the trip -the Junior Prom. This affair was given in honor of our Senior Ship in the luxurious ballroom of our stately air ship, The Alexander Hamilton. Cares and worries Were forgotten for that night and couples swayed gracefully to the tuneful melodies of the orchestra. Immediately after this affair all hands worked from sunrise to late after sundown--for our ship was then passing through the storm section of Final Exams Ca dark and stormy areaj. Completing this dangerous leg of the flight, we landed at Vacation for a two months leave-and, sir, we had a jolly good time! September, 1932, we resumed our journey, this time in the Senior Ship. How smiles did beam on every face those first few days-how dignified and happy all the oflicers strutted about. Yet we had a right to be happy-and dignified! Hadn't we made wonderful progress in four years? Starting in the ranks of Freshmen and promoted to Seniors? There we Were, flying our good old air ship-lofty and stately, followed closely by the Junior, Sophomore and Freshmen ships. Due to the large scope of territory We had to cover, we still maintained a scouting expedi- tion of approximately thirty planes-which returned to the mother ship at regular intervals. At no time during this last year did the trip get monotonous. The B division, during the Harvest season, gave their nov- elty 'Harvest Hopf The A division followed this up with a lavish dance, more appropriately called the Senior Dance. To add to the excitement we formed a debating team of distinc- tion. Before approaching the last leg of the trip, we were invited to a Junior Prom, given in our honor by the junior crew. We were rudely shaken after this affair, for our ship ran into the worst storm of our en- tire journey. Charts, books and brains came into use-time and time again we nearly crashed into the perilous cliffs of 'Final Senior Exams' Then as we pulled out of this storm We sighted our home He1d-Gradua- tion. Commander General Faculty : Well, son, I suppose you and your crew are very happy to be back? Commanding Officer, Class of '33 : Well, sir, that is a rather difficult question to answer. These past four years will always remain imprinted upon our memories. Now, sir, we had better get going- for there are other worlds to conquer and We are beginning with a clean slate. Twenty-five
