CL, P, rojihecij After returning from a trip to Coney Island Mr. Lester DeBruin, class sponsor of the class of 53 of Augusta High School, made the following entry in his diary: As I strolled along the Midway, I heard a loud voice calling, Come one, come all. Knock over the milk bot- tles and win yourself a prize. As I came nearer the voice, I recognized the face as that of Richard Kenck. I was glad to see ray former student, and we spent a half hour talking over old times. I continued down the Midway where a picture of a bearded lady caught ray eye. It was hardly believable, but still true, for the bearded lady was none other than Edna Hitchcock. I decided to take in the sideshow; but, as I was en- tering the tent an enormous lady blocked my entrance. As I tapped her on the shoulder, she turned to face me, and to my surprise, it wa3 Tina McDonald who stood be- fore me. She advised me to stay to see the show because it was very interesting. During the first act, a small blond came upon the stage and began to juggle balls. She was by far the most expert juggler I have ever seen. After she made her exit, Tina came over and sat beside me. Did you recognize that performer? No, I didn’t. That was Billie Neal. You can imagine ray surprise! While we were talking, another figure appeared on the stage. It was a man who swallowed one sword after another.
