lass Histor And now Ladies and Gentlemen you are entering the third ring of our circus. On October 26, 1950 we Chose stars to lead us through the performances of our first year: Albert Karoub, Presidentg Shirley Snydeir Vice-Presi- dent, Barbara Manning, Secretary, and Ralph Walker, Treasurer. H , Our first act in Ring three was a HoeDown. The apparel of the clowns attending was strictly blue jeans and plaid shirts. The music and decorations were fitting a circus performance. Our next attraction on the bill board of stunts was the roller skating antics of our care-free group. Our sponsors, Mrs. Delaney, Mr. Beckman, and Mr. Richter also attended the skating party. The next gala spectacle put on by Ring three was the May Flower Dance held on May 4, 1951. The ring was decorated in breathtaking colors and the music set a pace for our daring stunts. To clebrate our triumphs of Ring three, we surrounded ourselves by Walled Lake. It was a rainy day but like all star performers we made the best of it. This proved that we were capable of making Ring Two. When we came back to occupy Ring Two we found that our circus had taken on a new look. There was a beauti- ful shine and we realized that the new addition was complete and worthy of the wonderful new acts we were to plan. To lay down the golden carpet of activities we elected Domonic Bologna as President. Assisting him were Delphine Gray, Vice-President, Willette Weber, Secretary, and Darlene Holland, Treasurer. Our First attraction while occupying Ring Two was a dance. The whole cast consisting of the sophomores took part in the brilliance of this demonstration. In our appropriate roles and costumes, we sold cakes to the audience that attended our performance. All profits were to go toward the day when we must leave the circus and act no more. Our accomplishments were many and were executed with the utmost of grace. Ring Two had given us much and we had done much in return, but we had to leave this ring and step up once more to a finer and more sparkling ring. We owed much of our success of this year to our sponsors Mr. Hank, Mr. Hofrichter, and Mr. Wilson. Flying through the air with the greatest of ease we entered Ring One. Fewer in number but greater in wisdom, we returned to execute our tremendous acts. To prance before us we elected jack Vaughn, President, Tom Hupke, Vice-President, Donald Schulz, Treasurer, and Shirley Gray, Secretary. The first act in this ring was a dance called the Snow Flake Swirl. Frosty was an honored guest at the circus. To celebrate Christmas in full fashion our stunt artists provided entertainment for the last day before Christmas vacation. This was a combined party and dance. A tradition was started and each year Ring One will sponsor the Holiday party. Our Board of Directors this year consisted of Mr.' Balzarine, Mr. Mihatsch and Mrs. Johnston. Shamrocks were sold to dress the Irish attending the St.Patrick's Day Hop. The dance held on Friday, March 13, in honor of St. Patrick, turned out to be a lucky day and a brilliant success. On March 24, the members of Ring One chose their rings. These rings will show the world that their bearers participated in one of the greatest shows on earth. Like the shot out of a gun we took our places in The Main Ring. We selected beautiful white steeds for our officers to ride on. And as they pass us one-by-one we see Dale Jessie in the lead as President. jim Henry is next as our Vice-President. Shirley Smith as Secretary and Donald Schulz as treasurer. Next come two performers together. They are Carol Gucz and Eugene Lewis, whose job it is to make sure that this is the nnst wonderful of our four years of circus life. Following the parade is Dick Reinholt as Sergeant-At-Arrrs. Gerald Gutekunst took over this position in Mid-seme ster. Representing our rights in the Student Council were Pat Davis and Joe Hall. Guiding us towards a wonderful season were Mr. and Mrs. Hauk, Mr. Nelson, and Miss Osgood. Our first feat of the year was the Homecoming Dance. This dance was now a tradition of the Senior Class. A great sense of humor was shovm by both the Board of Directors and the actors at the Senior-Faculty basketball game. This game is one of the biggest attractions that the circus puts on. The most elaborate costumes and the fine st specimens of dancing were exhibited at the junior-Senior Prom. This was held at McKinney Hall on May 14, 1954. To display our acting talents, we had our Senior Play. The title was 'just Ducky' and it consisted of a fine cast and a lot of laughs. A slight vacation was needed by all so we retreated to the Gay-El-Rancho in Gaylord, Michigan. Alfhflllgh we were all used to the hard run of circus life, we returned from our trip on June 6th, tired, sore, and bruised, by june 15 was class night. We had a giftatory and our class prophecy was read. All the students willed some sort of personal quality. Two days later on june 17, 1954, we marched through the main ring to the tune Of 'Pomp and Circumstancef' And what could be more fitting, after four years of the Pomp of circus life, we go out to face the Circumstances of the world.
