'fCurley7' Johnson's Orchestra furnished the music, and during the intermission, Virginia Graybill and Gladys Mertz entertained with solo dances. We then brought Dr. Clausen here from Syracuse to tell us HHOW to be Angryf a topic of especial value in the hard life of circus performers, In selling tickets for this lecture, Sarah Jerome, Kose David, Frank Scheid, and George Vetter, certainly showed their ability as elephant trainers. QDo you remember those interesting red, white and blue creatures in 209 and 2IO?D The climax came, however, when a group of our very best actors pre- sented the Senior Play, The Charm School. It certainly was line! After this book, which We hope will keep alive our memory in years to come, is pub- lished, there will be a hard-earned 'treat in the form of the Senior Banquet, for the whole company to enjoy. And now We feel that on the whole our career has been so successful that we will give our last performance june 26, 1928, and then disband. l mi ffm? JQQQIQE

SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL A Hisforg of the Organization The members of this company came together from all parts of the city, forming the first troupe to receive all of its training and give all of its enter- tainments in this school. Our efforts culminated that first year in one per- formance, the Freshman Hop. At that time our managers were: Elliott Enyedy, president, Ruth Hobler, vice-president, Margaret O'Connor, secretary, Mary Louise Morse, treasurer, and Donald Mertz, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Brookheld was our adviser. Of course, no circus would be complete without a missing link. Our Sophomore year supplied that necessity for us, since, owing to the tremendous responsibility we had carried the year before in being the frrst Freshman Class to adorn -the new school with our verdure, we gave no performances at that time. In our Junior year, however, interest revived, and we elected George Vetter, president, Ruth Hobler, vice-president, Ruth Smith, secretary, and Chauncey Young, treasurer. We chose Mrs. Ferguson as our adviser. The outstanding feature of that year was the Junior Prom, which was carried on in true circus style, decorations, balloons, pink lemonade, 'n'everything. Then, following the precedent established by former companies, we aided our elders fthe class of IQ27D in giving their last performance, by pitching and equipping their tents. Pk Ik PK lk Pk For this last year of our work, we have elected Elliott Enyedy, president, Edith Somers, vice-president, Ellen Cahill, secretaryg Gordon McLaughlin, treasurer. Miss Lockwood is acting as adviser. The burden of our finances was exceptionally heavy this year, for we have had no less than three treasurers since September. The first great event for this year was the Senior Prom. For this dance, the Hgymi' was transformed into a most attractive hall by means of the black and orange decorations, which, together with the orange ice cream, created an atmosphere of Hallowe'en.

SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL LEWIS LEWlE ALLEN Bicycle Rider, Ring ll No. 9 610 Dubois St. Lewie will probably get in the six day race, when he quits our circus, but we are afraid he'll come in five days late, as he does in the mornings. What causes that? HELEN HHQNH BARNES Handspring Ring l St. Mary's Henry St. hear has already artistry in transla- s' sake, come ,.. onli, fl LAWRENCE SADIE BATES Clown, Ring I St. Mary's 759 Lauler St. Bates' clever performance on the court and diamond give us reason to think of his being the clown of the circus. Got cher trig? LUCILLE CILLE BEATTY Tight Rope Walker, Ring ll No. 11 11815 W. Hudson If Cille should lose her bal- ance during her performance, she probably would be just as cheer- ful as ever, scramble to her feet, and say: Don'tcha care, honey. LLOYD BECK BECKER Stake Driver, Ring Ill No. 3 11215 LaFrance St. Lloyd's handiwork in the wood shop proved that he would make an efficient stake driver. Only us left handers can do I this. BARBARA BOBBlE ' BENTLEY Pink Lemonade Seller, Ring I N0. 3 546 Su Main St. It's too bad our crack lemon- ade seller has left us for a Roch- ester School of Nursing, isn't it? She's probably passing out the drinks to impatient patients by now. Oh, my goodness! ALICE ALICIA BOYD Handspring Artist, ,Ring I No. 9 558 Lyons St. will be as We hope that Alice great an artist in handspringing on the sawdust as she is on the ivories. What? Oh, yes! DOROTHY DOT BRAINARD Chariot Racer, Ring I Corning 246 E. Miller St. Dotty certainly is a great racer, isn't she? It's rumored that she can't be beat in Milton. I feel so sleepy. DOROTHEA DOT BUHMAN Head Usher, Ring II No. 1 757 E. Water St. Since you are experienced in ushering, we give you the title of head usher. Save us good seats, Dot. Hey, Toot! FORD FORD COLLIER Advance Agent, Ring III No. 11 854 Maple Ave. Ford's selling power was dem- onstrated with his Literary Di- gests. We are sure he would cover the town with our circus bills. Bring around your sixty cents. giffwf I Page 15
