SO, ON WITH THE SHOW X X, -,gf -x.- U. In earlier years the grounds now occupied by this school were used as the site for the circus or carnival. Annually the hearts of Indianapolis citizens, big and little, beat high in anticipation of the gala event. To the Big Top they came for knowledge, a bit of ro- mance, and a thrilling adventure. Not least among the animals most beloved by the crowds which milled about the circus wagons was the lion, proud, dauntless and royal, unafraid of the spec- tators. Then, in 1927, the Big Top was replaced by a modern brick, educational plant known to all Indianapolis citi- zens as -George Washington High School. To this building came fifteen hundred eager stu- dents, searching again for knowledge, soul stirring ad- venture, and perhaps even a bit of romance. Here again was found the lion. From cage to crest he had been transplanted. In the school flag he stood rampant, emblem of rapid growth and proud achieve- ment. Q43

KNOWLEDGE, ADVENTURE It was under the Big Top that they found me. Circus grounds they called it. Young and old, in those first happy years of the 1900's found education with laughter and joy on that happy spot. Three sawdust rings provided thrilling ad- venture and romance. Always, I, Ramsey, the Lion, was there. I roared a a warm Welcome. I was the King of the Sawdust Trail. Then from cage to crest I went. Where the Big Top had been, a beautiful new struc- ture arose. Boys and girls still came to their favorite spot. They still found education with laughter and joy. Here they still found adventure and romance. As their school flag they adopted the crest with a lion rampant. So I, Ramsey the Lion, stayed on. LION RAMPANT- EXITUS ACTA PROBAT, the outcome is proof of my effort. ' For in 1946 I am released for one brief stroll among my beloved haunts by the Senior Post Class of George Washington High School. Enjoy with me my brief so- journ under the modern Big Top. C63
