FOREWORD There’s an old adage which tells us that “Life’s a circus,” and perhaps there is some truth in it after all. Life, like the circus, can be amusing or tragic, thrilling or disappointing. Our school can also be compared to a circus, for what factor is more influential in the life of a student than the school he attends? George Rogers Clark is our circus, and we are the perform- ers in its three great rings. Just as in the circus, Clark students can choose the part they wish to play to help make the show a success. Each one can develop his own interests or abilities. No one must be only a spec- tator if he has the drive and spirit to show his talent as a performer. What would the trapeze artist be without the man who sets up his bars and swings? How could the clowns be successful without the customers who make their amusing garb? Even if one’s part in the great circus is a small one, all students can be performers in the Greatest Show on Earth.” It’s time for the grand opening of the 1949-1950 show season. The music blares, the spotlights gleam and the circus begins! Sunlight spotlights some performers as they leave a morning workout. 4
