The '27 Circus IGHT this way for Ainge's famous l927 circus, greatest show of the season! See the world-renowned pie jug- glers, Red and Bud'l, keep a dozen lemon merangue pies in the air at once, and Kalugin and Gutkin dive gracefully from a height of a hundred feet into a bucket of water. Don't let the kiddies miss the most human monkeys in captivity, familiarly known as jarossy and VVeisbrot. Through the skill of their marvelous trainer, Molson, they walk and talk and almost think like human beings. Close to their cage you will find Phil, the gentle chimpanzee, and Gibbert, the missing link, marvelously discovered in the wilds of jersey City, through the daring adventure of that great scientist, Doctor Shapiro. He also found for us Nolan, the fire eater, who chews up live coals, and swal- lows flames. And ladies, don't fail to in- terview Princess jacob, world-renowned phrenologist, and reader of horoscopes. She can tell you how to win a husband for your- self, and also how to keep him. Come, all you pessimists, all you gloom chasers, here you'll laugh for it! Arthur and jack, funniest pair of clowns since Adam, could draw iron tears down Pluto's cheeks. And Professor Berger's company of trained Heas is warranted to make all forget rent-day, and the cost of frogs' legs. Emma and Anna, most skillful of the com- pany, will dance to the airy music of Lilli- putian Hutes, played by the midgets, De- Winter and Beviano. Step to the right, please, no crowding, there's room for everybody! Be careful there, boy, don't stick that pin in Celia's balloons. She makes her living by them! Look out, sir, you're crowding Charlie's pea- nut basketg buy a bag from the lad. Get a cool drink of pink lemonade, made by Lydia and Irene's own secret receipt. Pat- ronize the ladies! But watch your pocket- booksg detectives have just phoned that the very clever pickpocket, Goldsmith, has been seen disguised as a Happer, and is headed this way. Two-thirty, ladies and gentlemen: big show just beginning! See the trapeze ar- tists, lithel and Harrv, do their stunts, and the' living skeleton, trip the light fan- tastic with Hurley, the lady of five hundred pounds. Next, Stead, the famous woman sword swallower will perform her feat. But be very quiet during her exhibition, as she's a bit sharp at times. After this, the bareback rider, Schonfeld, will dance daintily on the hack of her noble horse to the gypsy music of tambourines, played by Tessie, who will also give a pleas- ing number of her own. Aha! Yonder Babba ab Dabba, India's great elephant trainer, known when off duty as Monico, rides rapidly on the head of the powerful Michael, his very intelligent ele- phant. Following him come Carkhutf, the man of mighty strength, whose very words have power to crush, and the Siamese twins, Kathryn and Molly. CI-Ieavens, Kathryn is far ahead! The audience will discover their trickery! What can be wrong? The lio-U Ladies and gentlemen, we must advise you to look for your nearest exit and run, not walkg the lions have broken lbose! That streak of dust-in the distance hides the much sought after Sir Peter Ezayuk, famous London banker, who has been recently pur- suing with us his hobby of lion taming. Per- haps he was a bit amateurish for our great beasts, don't cha know. At any rate Sid and Vidi are now playfully chasing their erstwhile master. See, Princess Rosander, the snake charmer. in her excitement, has upset her cage of deadly reptiles. Flee for your lives, but don't forget to buy a hot dog as you race bv the Squier and Rogers' Snappy Sandwich Stand. And one moment, ladies and gentlemen: don't forget to bring your friends to our evening performance! Come one and all to the safe and insane Ainge Show, great- est show on earth!

A Name to Conjure With U ENIORSH-a name to conjure with, or so we thought until last September. Then came the sad awakening, and down we crashed to earth. Oh, yes! All we'll have to do is to sit back in our dignified attitude and watch the others grind awayf' Not so, not so at all, my dear Freshmen, Sophomores, and even you, sedate Juniors. Take a poor over- worked Senioris advice and prepare to sacri- fice your newly acquired dignity and get used to working now. Life is one rush after another for us. Finding an essay topic, serving on a Senior Play Committee, working with the Year Book Staff, striving for typewriting awards, and other activities, too numerous to men- tion, help to keep Seniors stepping high, wide, and handsome.

But we are not working in vain 3 we are merely getting closer to our goal. The one consolation is a worthy one-gradua- tion! Who wouldn't work for it? It is this which'urges us to put forth just a little more effort when we feel too tired to go on. Time flies, and our days here are num- bered. But we have not worked in vain during our school generation. We have tried to do just a little better for our class and school than any previous class has done, and in this we think We have succeeded. Regretfully we must resign our place at the head of the school to our successors and rivals, the juniors. With it goes our hope that they will carry the Hag of old Linden a day's march farther than it yet has gone.- FRANCES HURLEY, '27. i.l,L,1 -- Senior Characteristics Arthur Vornbaum ...,.......
