At that very moment the Pan Annual Staff decided to engage Cletus as their guide in taking every Centralite to the circus through the eyes of their year book. With the help of Mr. John Grace as faculty advisor, Mary Jane Madden as Editor-in-Chief, and Marilyn Begasse as Business Manager, Cletus and the staff planned a wonderful tour through their make-believe circus, which now extends from cover to cover. The good-natured little clown posed for many hours as the Art Editor, Robert Don- nelly, reproduced this comical tigure upon the pages of the Panorama. For many weeks typewriters clicked as ca meras flashed. Yes, Robert Frederick and John Gorton were on the job as usual, but they had to work fast to keep up with typists Florence Popowich, Helen Dervay, and Dorothy Sedor.

Orators . . . Five nervous students are sit- ting on the platform, each re- viewing the speech he must give in just a few minutes. Many hours spent in looking over material for just the right speech . . . many more hours spent in diligent practice going over and over the same thing . . . a little less emphasis here and a little more there . . . a pause here and a quick break there, Now all that is over and the fateful moment has arrived. Will l ever be able to rise from the seat. . . to walk across the platform . . . to turn and face that cold audience . . . if only the earth would open and swal- low me up. Somehow, l manage to rise . . , give my speech . . . return to my seat . . . Four others do likewise and then to await the decision of the judges. Such a scene is enacted twice yearly in Central's auditorium. ln the Fall the boys compete in the Lyons-Weeks contest. The winners in this contest was James Holleran and second prize was awarded to Jack Russell. ln the spring the girls re- enact the same procedure in the Disinger - Church contest. The participants this spring show every indication of con- tinuing the splendid record of Centralites in this contest, First row: Jack Russell, James Holleran, Basil Bohovesky, Second row: Milton Bernstein, Sanford Tan- enhaus, Page Thirty-One First row: Norene Thorsen, Suzanne Ball Barbara Truman.
