The circus caravan got underway for the Class of 1950 when Freshman officers were elected. Edward Allison, president; Richard McClaughry, vice-president; Ella Rhee Kissen, secretary; and Donna Kaban, treasurer, as- sisted Miss Hazel Holland, class sponsor, in planning a prolitahle four-year tour. The first one-night stand was a dance, Rainbow Rhythm, held on April 12th. iJls . . . Results of the first year on the road proved that our group of trusty performers were in the black.” During the second year Richard McClaughry was the circus manager, assisted by Pete Stamos, vice-president; Juanita Freeman, secretary; and Mary Vladika, treasurer. The second big performance was another dance, the Pumpkin Prom- enade,” held in October. 1949 ... By the beginning of the third year the Class of ' 50 was a group of veteran troupers. At last they pitched their big tent and settled down to two final years of diligent rehearsals and shining performances. The star attractions of the ' 49 season were Tony Brenkus, president; Jonathan Kuzminski, vice-president; Juanita Freeman, secretary; and Bob Adams, treasurer. A dance, “Starlite Interlude,” was first on the program during mid-term exams. “Ramshackle Inn,” an amusing mystery play, kept the audience spellbound on April 29. The most exciting event that took place under the big top, however, was the long-awaited Junior Prom, Far-Away Places,” held at Danceland on the night of May 27. Green and yellow were selected as the class colors, with the yellow tearose as the class fiower. The motto which was selected is “Knowledge in youth is wisdom in age.” Caroline Swenson was elected class historian. 1950 . . . The turning point of the century, and a new cast of outstanding performers was chosen. With Gordon Smith cracking the whip and assisted by Bert Tiemersma, vice-president; Ella Rhee Kissen, secretary; and Earl Clark, treasurer, the circus trouple entered its last year of show business. Two of the main events that took place during this final year were a play, Jane Eyre” and the Senior Dance, Fantasy in Frost.” With mingled feelings of sorrow and joy the circus troupe ended its season with a final performance — graduation on June 9. Then the Class of ' 50 broke company, packed up their tents and moved out on their own, an- ticipating successful solo performances in the future. 26
