Slofzy of flue Gzcud On a bright day in the year 1946, eager boys and girls entered the Big Top of the Anderson Four Ring Circus, not as spectators, but as a part of the act. We were initiated into the Redskin ranks by the group who had joined the circus a year before us. A whole day was spent in clowning, but then the real work began. Before the glitter and fun and excitement of a circus can be enjoyed, a novice must work hard to become a top notch performer. Our trainers showed us what we must do as a part of the circus, and we did so well that one year later we moved on to new trainers and the study of new acts. The second year in the circus was a bit harder, but our trainers and the Ringmaster had taught us that the show must go on, and we did our best. In our third year as a part of the circus, we gave our first performance before an audience. It was entitled A Credit to the Family . The troupe, under the guidance of Trainer Struke, worked hard on our first production. All helped with the show, some of us were stars, others, ushers, and some of us took over the prop and make-up departments. The spectators applauded loudly and seemed to enjoy our show immensely. The next year we became star performers in the circus. VVe worked harder than ever, for we were soon to leave the Big Top for an even bigger show. For four years we had prepared for that day when the grand parade of 1950 would march to the stage to the strains of Pump and Circumxfance and we would all make our exit as performers in one of the greatest shows on earth, the Anderson Big Top . The time has passed quickly, and though we dislike saying goodbye to our trainers, our Ringmaster, and our other friends, we are eagerly looking forward to showing the world what we can do. Our show must go on. x1 -O J4 7 4, 14 5 ,Q 0 I 1, y N V kvAvAvAv,V I gummy Mhmgnv Z f f I ' sf
