HI TOR posters, we were moving into the big time. We were what the Circus managers called Juniors. We knew our places and could handle our duties as easily as an elephant eats peanuts. One of the bigger moments of our time under the Big Top was the Junior Prom, a ball that the Juniors give for the Seniors and themselves. Our theme was Stardust, and through the ingenuity of one of our performers, we were supplied with a water fountain for the grandstand of the arena, where the dance was held. All evening we danced under the blue crepe ceiling with the garden backdrop lending its touch to the heavenly atmosphere. X A A I s . . . lt was hard to realize, but it was on all the 7 'Q U 1 xx 9 An, X! J x I ' X Sem . f, The number of problems in our Junior year under the Big Top was nothing compared to when we moved to the most treasured spot under the lights, the center ring. We had the yearbook, the Senior Play, graduation, and so on. While we were in the center ring, we got the privi- lege of using the entrance reserved especially for us. The biggest act we gave in the center ring was the Senior Play. After due con- sideration, we picked Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. Rehearsals were fun, the performance was even more fun. As it is with most of these productions, the performers enioyed it more than the audience. Old hands as we were, we were all a bit nervous when we marched solemnly down the aisle on graduation day. Moms and Dads beaming, we received our traveling papers. These bits of paper, diplomas, they are called, formally ended our career under the Big Top of Claymont. Most of us have signed up for an- other Circus. We're getting old and others are taking our places here. Our experience here should take us from the Big Top to the top . . . But here we had our beginnings, our first con- tact with the sawdust and the thrill of giving a good show.
