It only cost fifteen cents to be a passenger of the Areo Interplanetary Transit Co. last Saturday evening. It was most “up in the air” so far as taxable property went. The young people comprising the company made a success of the enterprise and that’s what counts. Two rooms on the second floor of the Dean building were decorated in hearts.
