36xxxx 130 Enrolling In College

The Magic Island of Euclidea is rapidly becoming just a memory to most of the world, as other news has taken the front pages of the papers and the headlines in the radio news broadcasts. But to Jerry Hall and Joan Gregory, and to Mrs. Patricia Gregory and Captain Tex Bradford, the Magic Island will always be a very real part of their lives, and they'll never forget their experiences there.

Today, however, we find our four friends in very happy circumstances in Los Angeles, California. Jerry and Joan have taken Elaine Raleigh, the young Euclidean girl submarine commander with them, and gone to the university, where they all took entrance examinations a week ago.

Mrs. Gregory and Captain Bradford are in the living room of the Gregory home, waiting for the young people to arrive. Well, Tex, this is just about the end of our adventure. Looks like it, Pat. It's been a lot of fun.

Yes, fun and danger too. I wouldn't mind doing it all over again, after we get the youngsters safely in school. What I can't figure out is how they expect to go to school together. It's going to present a problem, but they seem to think they could work it out, and I left it entirely up to them.

Those three can work it out if anyone can. It's a strange mixture. Elaine is 22 and Joan is 15. Neither of them have ever been inside a school. And Jerry is almost another year of high school to complete.

That is a weird trio for college freshmen, all right. But we'll see how they make out. One nice thing about all three of them. Whatever happens, they'll get along with the result. Mmm, they'll do. Some of the Euclidians didn't like the idea of Elaine going free and taking up her life an hour.
