Possible typographical error left as is:

  1. [All ready] possibly should read Already
  1. paralo ray changed to paralo-ray
  2. upperclassmen changed to upper-classmen

In addition, the nickname Blast-off occurs in two forms throughout the text: "Blast-off" and 'Blast-off'. One is used consistently in descriptive text ("Blast-off") the other is used consistently in dialog ('Blast-off'), as such both forms have been retained.
