Arriving early in the morning, we began at once, with the elephants' help to put up our big top. As I sat in the main office discussing some new costuming problems with the manager, we heard a great deal of shouting and commotion at the end of the circus grounds. Just then Bernard Murra, our elephant trainer, came rushing in and announced breathlessly that his prize elephant had strayed off and was now standing on his head in the middle of the highway blocking traffic, and that some man was threatening to press rhnrZ9S This page sponsored by FRED J. against the circus unless immediate action was taken Suddenly the door flew open, and in stalked none other than Verg Q htermagg, who, much to my surprise, was an outstanding lawyer in Atlanta Vern was furious because he was late for an important appointment, but after recog nizing us as two of his old classmates, he apologized and bought tickets for all the members of his family Our first show on the road was a great success On our way to Washington D C , we stop ped in Norfolk, Virginia, to pick up an addition for the show He was a new kind of wild man, which Donna Wolf, our explor er in Africa, had caught and tamed with her special technique Before reaching dashington, however, we had a terrible catastrophe Our fat lady no longer would fit into hex specially built trailer, so we were forced to stop in Richmond at the Reducing Farm, owned and run by Darold grain Upon entering Washington D C we were delayed due to a huge parade honoring the nationally famous jet ace, Fugene Bevlng who had just completed a trip around the globe in the record breaking time of 10 hours, 39 minutes, and 155 seconds. After our second show, Caroline Boelmgn, our lion tamer, began complaining of having some trouble with her cats. This difficub ty was solved with the purchase of a new book entitled nPretty Pussy' written by Madame Lorraige Vagderwerf, world famous animal trainer and photographer. While in Washington, we went out to Leesburg, Virginia, to watch the telecast of the Arthur Godfrey show. Tony Marvin, who had grown too old for his Job, had re tired and George Folkerts, one of our old classmates, had taken his place. After the show, we asked George if he would take BOHEMANN, your John Deere dealer --- ---- - , , 5 m e . ' ' U ' ---- is """ . -"- --' ln ' . 1 ' my . --.-. I at .. s rTi.....1.l' . .

How do you expect a soul to get his sleepo' Rubbing my eyes in dis belief I suddenly recognised Jake Th caravan stopped briefly and I chatted with Jake who told me that upon graduation he had come here to haunt the dead Rolling on we headed for Walla Walla, Washington, where we were scheduled for 8 three night stand So far during our joxu' ney our boxing kangaroo had been unde feated, but on the second night there he suffered his first and last defeat -9 Q--gggl, U S lightweight champ, won by a knock out The next day our kangaroo died of heart break The local paper carried the news story with the announcement that -gglggi Sghgltg, taxidermist, had bought the carcass from the circus for her collec tion of stuffed animals From Walla Walla we decided to fly to Fairbanks, Alaska, where we were asked to put on a special performance for the armed services stationed there Boarding the plane that was to carry my costumes, who should we have for our pilot but Neva g Bevigg' I was pleased to learn that she Through The Courtesy Of Dr E H Witt 5 Go . .
