KATHRYN TAYLOR. Secretary EDWARD J. SHELTON. Principal Good management is essential to the running of any big top performance. Mr. Shelton, the ring master, had a busy job managing the displays and seeing that each act went on smoothly. He also saw that the members of the staff were on the job, and that the general rules and regulations of the Big Top were followed. As secretary to the Production Staff, and General Director, Miss Kathryn Taylor also contributed much to the success of our Big Top performance. Her willingness, efficient work, and cooperative spirit acquired for her many friends in Our Greatest Show on Earth. It is with regret that we see Miss Taylor leave the staff to accept a position in Raton, New Mexico. She will be greatly missed by all. MORRIS LAWRENCE — OTTO GOING Custodians The show must go on! Like any big top performance, Our Greatest Show on Earth had to go on. Both the performers and directors of this great show depended much on Otto Going, our property custodian, maintenance manager, bus driver, and Mr. Fixit. Whenever equipment or props needed repairing, Otto always did his best. Because of the continual growth of our Big Top. Mr. Lawrence was employed as a very able assistant to aid Otto with the never-ending jobs of the Big Top. 7

The Production Staff To make a success of the 1954 gigantic performance of Our Greatest Show on Earth required an efficient production staff. One of the top notch members of this directing staff was its general director, Mr. R. M. Pierce. His tenure of twenty-six years in Caruthersville attest to his efficiency. He encouraged the latest methods in instruction, was always on the watch for specialists, and was always desirous that his actors have the most modern equipment. He has maintained for our school a State Department AAA rating for several years. His resignation last spring was a great loss to the Big Top Production Board. ROSCOE M. PIERCE. Superintendent Mr. Pierce receives from Miss Essie Johnston, second grade teacher, a wrist watch, as a token of esteem and respect of the entire faculty. The presentation was made at a faculty dinner, honoring him and Mrs. Pierce. BOARD OF EDUCATION Another requirement for a successful Big Top performance was an alert and interested executive board. That, too, our school had. Composed of civic minded businessmen and women, the production staff conscientiously tried to provide for the Big Top the latest equipment, the best working conditions, and the best personnel possible. Pictured here is the School Board at work: T. W. Collins, Secretary Paul Horner, Charles G. Ross, President William E. Chaffin, Frank Slentz, Fred Henley, Mrs. J. Thomas Markey. 6
