MES ff is i ,., , W . I N 'C QQ '99 Q25 S 5 HISTORY OF '48 In 1943 sixty urchins of assorted shapes and sizes escaped from their grade school side show. On their own in the wide world, these ragamuflins meeting, with Miss Graham presiding, was held at C. C. S., where man- agers, ringmasters, and spielers were chosen. In our first year we found the circus under the management of Dennis-Brenning-Basset and Ellis, Inc. Of course operating costs had to be kept down, so one ring was all we could afford, but it was a lively one. The feature act was the freshman party, which had all the color, bustle, and the fanfare of a four-ring affair. ln our second year on tour we branched out, took on new acts, and traveled under the new management of Brenning-Tychi-Ingalls and Dennis. This proved a winning, money-making combination. The act took on new canvas, another ring was added. Again the clowns, aerialists, and the mot- ley crew of a growing circus played their roles to the hilt. In one ring we featured the Valentine Party, in the other attention focussed upon the Sophomore Hop, while Miss Dolan snapped a tender whip over the mis- cast players. Then, as a special attraction, the Sophomore Amazons swept all before them in the school basketball play-offs to cap a show that took both spectators and participants off their feet. By the time our third year in the circus business had rolled around, our personnel had gained enough experience and capital to present a four- ring circus that rated great acclaim. At this time we again changed man- agement, emerging, with trumpets blaring, under ringmasters Ingalls, Schnurle, King, and Reynolds. With Mr. Langworthy cracking a very helpful whip, our players were now developing into feature ring attrac- tions, which held the undivided attention of awed spectators. Highlighted under the canvas were the Junior Prom, a Valentine party, the Junior play, and the Junior-Senior banquet. Next year we are looking forward to climaxing circus history by branch- ing out in our greatest show spectacle. Managers, ringmasters, clowns, aerialists, and all other members of this immense show will be on hand for the Senior play and the Senior Ball, which promise to command spotlight attention. Most of all, our whole troup is looking forward to gazing upon the exotic, breath-taking wonders of an unsurpassed side-show, the Senior class trip. This season will end with the greatest of all our shows-gradu- ation. HISTORY OF '47 On a warm September day back in 1943, an unusual amount of activity livened the village of Canisteo. From various parts of the community streamed chattering and gaily dressed young folks. They were augmented by a number of brightly colored vehicles, which for the past hour had been combing the roads of the countryside for numerous small fry of various ages and now, loaded to capacity, united to form a gay and noisy parade that had for its destination the big top at 80 Greenwood Street. Among those who made up the throng entering the building were to be discerned here and there a number of open-mouthed, inept looking individuals who, through various methods and the indulgences of kind 24 6 7
