mmsmvmn INITIATION and smuos muon The Senior class initiated the freshmen into the mysterious ways of high school life on September 22, l9NU. During the day the freshmen were adorned in costumes that no sane person would possibly wear, but being rather green and ignorant the ufreshies' didn't seem to mind. The girls were dressed as hicks in blue-Jean overalls, worn backwards, with their pant-legs rolled up to their knees. On their feet were ,two different shoes without shoe-strings. Oh their hair--Many tight little braided upigtailsn. On this crowning glory was worn a slightly-worse-for-wear straw hat. -The boys found the day rather warm so they were attired a little less modestly. They wore full cotton skirts, quite short, and tee-shirts with hal- ters. They carried out the maidenly theme with frilly ruffled. green bonnets, tied with a becoming big bow under their chins. They were also a little 'over made-up . All the freshmen were obliged to carry their school books in gunny sacks. Upon meeting any of the seniors they were compelled to remove a shoe and bow. At noon the entire class was taken outside to the front school yard and made to dance the Hokey-Pokey' and perform races in their gunny-sacks. That evening a large audience arrived at the auditorium to see a magnifi- cant circus sponsored by the senior class. There were many strange and unknown animals to perform. doing acts very seldom seen in even the best circuses. The Ringmasters, Bob Hughes and Ray Sullivan, put the animals through their paces in a very delightful manner. Clt might be added that these animals had the familiar green coloring seen often about the school previously that day.l One of the first acts was given by Mighty Man Jimm Sullivan Atlas. We know this was Atlas because he had a gigantic sign across his mighty chest. His breath taking feat consisted of balancing two completely full glasses of water on either elbow while kneeling. Then the generous Ringmasters permitted him to climb into a huge tub to be deluged with the very water he had been so patiently balancing. Jlmm enjoyed the rest of the circus from this ringsidc- seat. A very instructive act was given by Betty Parks and Jack Barry. Jackie tenderly demonstrated the proper method of giving a pedicure, using Betty as his guinea-pig. The audience certainly learned some revolutionary ideas here. Dan Primo, the organ grinder, and his monkey 'Mike' Motto, proved their technique in earning a satisfactory living. As Dan played his accordian Mike begged and was showered with pennies and other coins. The money rolled ini Marianne Thomas would probably make an excellent marathon dancer. With only a teaspoon to aid her, Marianne removed water from one large glass to an- other several feet away. Her performance was quite lengthy. so to make it a two ring circus the ringmasters brought on another act. Norma Floyd and Nancy Towne were placed. blindfolded, on two high stools facing each other. - They were then armed with fully ripe peaches and told to go to lt. The following tumult certainky proved that females have a lot more fighting block than males Next, to benefit the seniors, a queer little animal in the shape of Jerry Folk was brought from his cage. As he happened to carry his shoe shining kit he was put to work shining all the senior shoes. searching them out all over the auditorium.

On the musical side wc were entertained by the two great unprofessional guitar'players and singers, Simone Hortega and Verne Moore. In singing their Pistol Packin' Mama they lacked in volume but they made it up.1n emotion. After being placed in a renantic mood by this music, it was only fitting to have a little love-an-stuff. These two passionate lovers, Henry Lootensand Phyllis Nestler.provided it to the fullest extent. Since Hank was definitely stage struck, Phyllis had to take the initiative and do the proposing. But she evidently get cold feet at the last minute, or her great emotion overcame her, for just at the nest crucial moment her tongue twisted and sho didn't ask that customary question at all. By this time the Masters felt that they must bring their audience out of this romantic mood. so they provided some inportedrfrom-Lilliput dancers to do their stuff. These citizens of Lilliput were the famous duet. Tommy Cole and Warren Taylor. Since they had grown quite a bit since landing on our American soil. they had to dance on their knees to give the proper effect. New a little drama was in order so two promising young stars. Dale Moore and David Griffin gave one of their grand performances. The scene was in the hone of these two characters Cmonentsrily fonalesl. The plot of the play was wound around the hone life of these people and their baby Cdolll daughter. One of the highlights of this drama was WMenaW David's changing of his deughter's- --err ah ahem -- diapers! At the climax of the play a great bangety-bang was heard and in drove Donna Wilhelm with her Super-8-Gyclinder Dan Primo engine. This engine was unique, being propelled by two legs in a reciprocating notion. After driving all around the auditorium, Miss Wilhelm get out and pulled this engine around for a while. I Kenny Dahl, our star football player, demonstrated different football ex- ercises and positions. Poor Kenny, he was s little stiff due to the fact he had neglected to remove his first suit before he put on his second ---- pads and all! Ls a fitting climax to this stupendous circus, the last two un-initiated freshios danced a hot Jitterbug, accompanied by the honorable Ray Sullivan do- ing a bit of boogie-woogie. These two capable gents. Conrad Gebeck and Delmar Peed, were so smooth that they really 'sent9 their audience. Fiftycent peace: and other coins fell all about then as the audience clapped an encore. ' And so. on this amazing scene, the big top performance cane to an ond.... All the little animals had learned their lessons well and were prepared to give bigger and better performances during the next four years. Following the Freshman Initiation ceremonies the Senior dance was held. Music was provided by Doc Hunt and his orchestra. 'V A 4 M? A ' -i:,'ENg Q , I
